Galley Gossip: Airline Bashing, bringing the world together {Gadling}
Dec 30th 2008 3:13PM What confuses me is why ANYONE would be rude on an airplane. If you can afford it, then why be in a foul mood? You get the quick way of traveling with complete strangers, in a tube full of FAs that love their job, whether ashamed or not (I know the feeling. High School Marching Band: I was ALWAYS glad to be in it, but it felt so weird to tell people I was in it that I just gave up on telling them). Keep a smile on your face. Be polite, whether you're in the mood or not. That talky passenger? If you're not in the mood to talk, BE POLITE. Tell him/her that you're tired or that you have a headache. Put in you earbuds BUT TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. You still want to be able to recognize the voices that are addressing you. FAs are in the aisles now with the carts. Take OUT your earbuds. Decide what you want. Then decide a back up, just in case they are out of what it was that you wanted. I hate rude people. Bad days are understood, but being rude is karma-worthy.

Dec 30th 2008 2:26PM Matthew: I agree. I have had back problems since I was a Freshman in High School, so I also cannot sit in a straight-back chair.
Nameless Diva: You need to think before you speak (or type). If he had a spinal problem that was getting fixed, he might HAVE to recline his chair. You putting your knee in the back of the chair is not only rude, but pretty jackass-y. So next time you think of talked to someone, think to yourself: "You know, maybe what I say is too close-minded. Maybe I'M the asshole."
