More etiqutte questions
 
After reading the great shade up/down debate, I was curious about two more. <BR>First, if you are seated in-row, and you want to do an hourly walk-stretch (as recommended by all the flight health information – DVT, Jet lag, etc), and the person on the asile wants to sleep the whole flight. I say wake them, since I have the right to move. <BR>Second, People who hog the armrest. Its mine, and they should know that!

Matt-Maybe you ought to take the bus or better yet go jump in the ocean.

That blasted middle-seat! Here's what I do re:getting up in mid-flight -- at the beginning of the flight, I warn my seat mate I'll have to get up at least once or twice during the flight (overactive bladdder) and ask if he/she has a preference as to time. About a third of the time, if they want to sleep through, they'll change places with me. If it's a very long flight and you expect to be bouncing up and down every hour, it's only fair to tell your seat mates ahead of time. <BR> <BR>Re:armrest: I read a very funny piece in railroad history that said the right-side armrest is yours, never mind whether you are right- or left-handed. It seems to me that to be fair, we should ask the captain to announce a shift from right arm-rest to left about half-way through the flight. Or, I suppose, he could even announce the shift hourly, which would allow you to take advantage of everyone moving at once to get up and walk around.

It's the FirstVoiceNerd again -- "You Are All Wet" by any other name is still the same sad jerk ready to pounce on any thread within the first few responses with a pseudo-smart-mouth put down of the original poster. Apparently you have nothing better to do than to wait all day for the next likely post, just for the great feeling of power you get by slamming the question and the questioner. You poor, lonely clod.

And Busted...you have nothing better to do but call trolls names? Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black...

Busted May 19th, 2001 04:06 PM

No, I don't. <BR> <BR>And: hah! I knew it was you, xxx!

Busted-why must you start name calling etc on here? Are you an immature dolt? Grow up and go somewhere else unless you have relevant travel advice to give.... <BR> <BR>FYI, there are a dozen posters here who use the x name.

No, it's just me.
