Gadling

I'm usually asleep within 5 minutes of boarding.

So no soda for moi!

Things will never change. I was a TWA flight attendant in the 1960's, and the same thing used to bug me, among other things. But these people didn't have earphones in their ears. They were just plain rude.

Do away with them and make everything self serve at a buffet table in back.

HAHAHA... thats so funny! I do the same thing. You see the cart coming down the isle, and all of a sudden Im having a battle in my head as to what I will choose, and then I start to worry, hwat if she doesnt see me or anything and I get missed!!

You are a man after my own heart.

I had a captain once who assigned a name for those ill-mannered idiots who walk around all day, lost in their tunes, dangerously obliviously to the world around them. He called them "i-Tards." I hope the name catches on. What makes me laugh is that there has been legislation proposed to prevent people from walking around on busy streets with their headphones blasting, because some were so clueless, they stepped out into oncoming traffic and were killed. I say, why bother? Seems like Darwinism in action to me.

sorry heather or gladys or whatever yr name is I am so freakin uncomfrotable in crappy cheap a__ seat the one with no padding a terible slant forward where I cant fit my elbows between the arm rests so I dont intrude on the passenger beside me, irritated at being told I should put the window shade down so I can't look out at tmerica instead of the inane watered down movie after having been told I can buy a lunch fo just $10 that woudl cost me $8 at the inflated terminal prices, I truly dont intend any rudeness by not responding instantananeously and brightly to your inquiry, after all the soft drinks and water, all 8 oz plastic drinking container of it since it seems for the time being to be included in the cost of the fare, but just let me suffer quietly .. its not quite as bad as kidney stones but its getting there and the thought that you have YR panties in a twist cuz am not Mr Cheerful.... well, that just adds one more wonderful feature to the whole refreshing and cheerful ambience.............

Great reply!

Great picture, and a great comment!

Heather Nice to see your name after all these years.
Hope your well...... Scott

Way to go Justin. That's the way I fly - except is a Bloody Mary. And as for Will (I've sat by him to many times) . . . do us all a favor - take a bus!
