Close 'em anyway.<BR>

Leave 'em open.

CLOSE THE BLOODY SHADE! IT IS NOT YOUR BLOODY WINDOW!

Yes it is. I'll bloody leave it open if I want to, need to, or choose to. You make me want to cheese you off as much as possible.<BR><BR>If they didn't want us to see out, they would have put us in cargo planes. Go side in the baggage hold if you want dark, and if you want to see a movie, it's a lot cheaper to go to a theater.

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Ah, four-letter words as Fodor-editor bait! You just want this thread deleted, which you will somehow consider a victory. The forum equivalent of "Mom, he yelled at me, make him go to his room" when you've absolutely run out of anything better to do to win the battle. <BR><BR>I've enjoyed showing you up as the mindlessly self-absorbed boob you really are, with apparently great concern about your power relationship with your seat mate. Wait! What's that I see sticking out of your shoe? Is that a fuse?

I like the blind open so I can imagine being an angel sleeping on the fluffy cotton-wool clouds below. <BR><BR>Also when I flew into Mexico City at night it was endless it looked like an electronic relief map.

I'm a knight who says NI, you son of a silly person!

You should be able to do what you want. That's why you got the window seat!<BR>hk

You rented the seat, not the shade.<BR><BR>Doesn't this post ever die?

I WILL NOT lower my shade if I don't want to! And you can't make me!

Close 'em anyway.

Dear "You can't make me",<BR><BR>We are all TIRED of your childish little temper tantrums!<BR><BR>Your "Me-Me-Me" attitude is unwanted!<BR><BR>You WILL close your shade, and you WILL like it, ok?

I must say, I got out of bed this morning because I couldn't sleep. This thread is a gold mine. I think I might print it out and use it for my next book. Funniest thing I ever read.

Yeah, this is better than watching or going to those comedy shows. Thanks for giving me a good laugh.

i book all my trips well in advance because i LOVE having a window seat. i love looking outside at the cloud formations, etc. if i want to go to a movie, i'll pay $7 to go to a theatre. if i've paid $500 for a flight, booked early enough to ensure a window seat, i'll be damned if i am going to close the blinds.

x- next time I sit next to you, you can expect my head bobbing in front of your face looking at the cloud formations. But if you close the shades....

close 'em anyway.

Nope, I requested the window seat, it's mine, and I want the shade open. You can go sit down hard on the armrest.<BR><BR>It's a plane not a theater for gawd's sake, and you can bloody well put on blinders, you bit of a horse's .....<BR><BR>And if you keep topping this thread, this is what you are going to get. <BR><BR>Over and over and over and over.

Who's the selfish one, sitting on an aisle and requiring a window-seat passenger to do your bidding? <BR><BR>It will remain open. You can change your seat.
