Traveling was more fun when the airports and planes weren’t full of phone zombies

Was the easiest place in the world to start a conversation for an outgoing person.

I look around now and at least 80% people are staring at their phone like zombies, many with ear buds in.

I don't want to listen to people that are blood related to me talk, much less a complete stranger. Each to his own I guess, just let me know when you book a flight so I can avoid lol

I have my headphones on even when I am not listening to anything. The less people I talk to while traveling the better.

This is the way I am most of the time. For some reason I attract dumbasses that like to talk.

My theory is that they can sense us. It's a talent. They don't want talk to you, they want to talk at you. I got laid a lot in my younger days by girls like this, but there was a prize at the end of the rainbow for that effort.

I've been to sporting and major events all over the world, it never fails that an idiot is always sitting within arms length of me.

Maybe you should instead take it as compliment that you seem interesting enough for people to want to talk to you.

I’m just the opposite. People’s stories and destinations fascinate me.

To each his own.

I'm an outgoing person and fricking hate it when people want to start a random conversation with me on a plane.

I’m the same way. Thankfully, I haven’t flown commercial in nearly 15 years. I don’t miss it at all.

I'm talk to someone if they talk to me but I don't go looking to talk to people in the airport.
I do like talking to people in tourists spots though. Like when traveling. But the airport i just want to get to the gate, then on the plane and let my alaprozalam kick in and pass out.

Your posts give one the impression of a friendly, outgoing person.

On the plane I want to zone out to a movie or tv show I am binge watching. At an airport bar sure ill have a conversation with someone especially if my flight is delayed which seems to happen all the time to me on work trips.

I'll settle for several of them just leaving the shades up so we aren't imprisoned in darkness in the middle of the day.

Agree. I have seen some amazing things looking out the window of a plane. I don’t really get it.
