This. I saw a land whale at Kroger yesterday with her phone on speaker shoved in the top of her bra so she could “hands free” procure more food to feed her fupa while having some ridiculous conversation with someone.

One that drives me insane are the people that sit all the way in the back but put their bag in the overhead bin above a seat towards the front or the middle of the plane.

What’s worse are the ones in an aisle seat who wait until their row should be exiting to stand up and get their bag. It delays everyone behind them and it delays the flight crew from doing their jobs.

Just unplug your music or tv show and max the volume to combat his idiosyncrasies.

I don't fly often but had to take 5 different flights on vacation recently. I didn't see anyone do this shite anywhere. Not even at the gates in the Airports.

Sorry, I’ve never run into that. And if so, I think a reasonable flight attendant would resolve that quickly


It happens more than you think. I fly a ton for work (and not on Frontier/Southwest) and run into it once every 4 months. People are just trashy.

Well at least your pilot is sane and does not need to be wrestled down.

I’ve flown quite a bit and luckily have not had this happen to me. But the stupidity and lack of awareness people have amaze me.



Where it happens is really with young kids. Only had it happen one time with an adult, but it’s happened a few times with young kids where they are watching a kids show on their iPads and their parents are inconsiderate pieces of shite.

Is this your first time to fly (congrats) and just thinking of things that might be a good topic for OT?

Because nobody does this on flights and if they do it would be shut down by FA.

Literally never seen/heard that and I fly a decent amount. Says more about you that you’re flying an airline where this happens.

My 3 year old grandson has flown multiple times and has small baby size headphones. People just suck.

I like to join in the conversations when they're not using an earphone for their telephone calls. If they wanted it to be a private conversation, they wouldn't let everybody listen in on it

So they are just listening to their music or watching a movie on their ipad with no headphones? That's kind of stupid because you get better sound with your headphones.

I would think if its loud enough the flight attendant would ask that they lower it.

I remember back in the day at LSU.. In the library, when headphones didn't hold in the sounds, people used to have their headphones on turned up and you could hear that shite like they had speakers sitting on the table.

One time I almost saw some Asian dude and a black dude get into a fight because the black dude had his shite turned up and the Asian went tell him something. I just heard the Asain say something like "I don't care what you are doing. This is a library, go outside and listen to that shite"..

Yes, more often than you would think and from all walks of life. Young kids watching YouTube videos, some foreign language videos, and even adults playing games. I fly with American and Delta and have had this occur on multiple occasions. Now when they pass out free headphones I take a set, when I encounter some inconsiderate a-holes I offer them the free headphones.

This is why you get seat 1A when the private jet's in for maintenance. Plus, it's fun to watch the peasants file their way back to steerage.
