I have to tell you there was a guy in front of us on an over nighter to London once. He would not put his seat in the up right position on a plane so that my diabetic mother could go to the bathroom. She went maybe 3 times during the flight he refused from the get go unless we got the attendent who made him move up right. My mother would not let me rip his head off as I wanted to. I think watching a parent or child get subjected to something like we all have to deal with like rudeness is very hard. I could handle that on my own fine but feel the need to over protect a parent. Me ma said let me handle this, don't embarrass me.She put on her old lady charm and the guy was embarrassed.

Later my mother, passed gas all night long. I was so happy, dying but happy she made that guy was breath the same terrible air I was. We still laugh about this. Told her not to touch that airplane food
Good luck in future Have a heart

Ally yes a ferry, and the whole trip takes 24 hours..

what bothers me most on planes is not anything that occurs too me.. I was put on this earth too suffer..

I can't stand it when flight attendents get harrassed or are interupted while thay are doing their job. For instance when they are lugging the food trays down the Isles. for some reason 300 pound folk always need to use the facilities at the same time. so the attendents either get pinned against the seats or have too kick that food tray in reverse..

Jude,
thanks, good luck to you too. The written word as opposed to the spoken word can get misinterpreted so easily.

Orgy7...glad you learned how to use a spell checker! Seriously, your post are comprehensible now.

Glad you're so concerned about the flight attendants...gee, is it only the 300 pound folk who cause this problem?

My problem is with the flight attendants who ram the carts into your elbow without even an apology.

Just out of curiosity. When you're talking about putting the seat back, do you mean as far back as it will go? The upright position is incredibly uncomfortable to me, but reclined about an inch works fine. I figure that that small amount shouldn't bother the people behind me too much.

When the airline doesn't leave the ventilation on when at the terminal during boarding and I end up sweating profusely by the time we are taxing down the runway.

This is one of the funniest threads I've ever read on Fodors (Fodor's?)

I have to say, I don't think I've ever had any nasty thoughts towards any of the flights attendants. My fellow passengers on the other hand.... I'd love to be an FA just for a week or so, to piss off all those idiots that fly.

Recently, I was on a flight and the guy across the aisle spilled his coke all over himself during boarding. He freaked out, stood up and was complaining to the flight attendant. If I had been the FA, I don't know what I would have done. But this complete professional went and got him club soda to wash his pants and even got the mechanic to bring hima replacement seat cushion!!! Not for a second did the FA say anything negative or hesitate. The whole thing took maybe 3 minutes to fix. Of course, the guy was still complaining that his pants were wet (should the FA have got him a new pair of pants too????).

I also don't like babies on flights, but the reality is that the parents are the ones at fault. Is it really fair to bring a baby onto a plane? I mean, the poor kid doesn't understand what's going on, the pressure change hurts their ears, etc. Babies and children can be annoying, but usually it's the parents that are the idiots.

The last time I was on a flight with my boyfriend who is 6' 2" tall, he suffered through half the flight with a 5'5" slim woman in front of him who insisted on flying with her seat totally back until her head was practically in his lap and his knees were crammed into the back of her seat. That is....until my boyfriend realized that his cold overhead air could be turned on full blast and pointed directly at her face would send a steady stream of cold air onto her head and neck. She finally got the point. Which is that her comfort does not supersede that of others. PLEASE PEOPLE - have some consideration. 1) Put your chairs back an inch or two not the whole way. 2) Use your arm rests to lift your hulking bodies out of your seats 3) Gently place the tray back into position 4) Realize once and for all that other passengers don't think you kids are cute when they kick the seat, sing the alphabet four thousand times, or lean over the back of the seat in front of them pulling another person's hair. 4) Finally sit quietly, touch no one, recline your seat slightly, and touch the back of no one else's seat.
Thanks for listening.

Wow, I hope Susie never has to sit next to Greg.

To Mama's boy

Jude, please let us know what your mom looks like so we won't have to sit next to a hacking, gas-passing biddy all night long.
