Based solely on how much you would like to stab yourself in the eye when the plane lands, no smell test here.
-
Let's try to keep this non-partisan, trying to uncover the worst conversationalist in the pit.
-
We already have an edn pile on thread
-
Oh there is far worse than edna, how would you like to talk reparations with some dude that just polished off a large bag of hot fries, and when he finally gets the hint 5 hours in that ydgaf he goes to sleep, but he's about 50 lbs over weight and breathes REALLY heavy.
-
It's kind of a trick question tho. Because I don't talk politics IRL and i'm definitely not going to share my views with some ass hat stranger.
-
No tricks here Wacky, just pick a poster that posts in the pit that you would least like to sit next to on a long plane ride.
-
Well that's easy. It's lib^7 of course. :D
-
MIR. Seems most likely to get hostile and delay the flight.
-

You don't pit much do ya, lib7 would be fine.
-
I do, we just have opposite viewpoints on just about everything. He's great IRL, so it's kind of an unfair question, but yeah, maybe i'll change my vote.
-
I'd be fine with anyone. If I got bored talking politics I'd just put on headphones.

I don't get people who don't immediately put on headphones, talking to randos on planes is :Yuck:
-
Yes. Immediate headphones. I even have them in when noting is playing, and I am reading, just so no one gets any wrong ideas.
Given this, I would go with whoever of you guys is the absolute smallest and whoever doesn't need a bunch of crap from the attendant.
-
Emo wears a size 30 belt so he's probably the smallest
-
I think EMO and I would get a long on a flight just fine.
-
Emo seems least likely to ask for coffee in a weird container, i agree cns
-
cns makes a great point about poster size. he seems like a fine person, but i would not want to sit next to him on an airplane.
-
Yes, I should be your last choice. I basically require all arm rest and my shoulder will be all up in your biz/grill.
-
I'll humor someone who wants to chat it up for exactly 4.7% of a 12 hour flight.
-
Does Tonya go into the Pit much? That guy sucks
-
I don't get people who don't immediately put on headphones, talking to randos on planes is :Yuck:
Disagree. Planes are one of my favorite locales to interrogate people about their level of education.
-
If anyone on here is obese or an armrest hog, I pick those guys. Talk as much as you want but don't touch me with your elbows, knees, or fat rolls. That's all I ask.
-
Ksuw sounds like a beta
-
I think I'm a size 32 belt now. Also, I always offer my seatmates a piece of gum as we taxi to takeoff and as we are descending.
-
Probably. One time I sat next to Denny Brauer. Did not talk to him though. :frown:
-
Is talking to your seatmate one of those white midwesterny things?
YES
-
Talking to the stranger next to them on a flight.
-
i like talking to strangers.
-
i like talking to strangers.
are you a white midwesterner?
-
i like talking to strangers.
are you a white midwesterner?
100%.
-
I don't talk to my seatmates, but I'd say I'm more of a westerner than a midwesterner.
-
I don't even acknowledge that someone is sitting next to me
-
you know who I like to sit by? pilots hitching a ride. I chat them up and nerd out about airline industry stuff. remember when SW was hinting at Hawaii flights? a pilot of a rival airline told me that was at least multiple years out no matter what SW PR was saying. HE WAS RIGHT! Also discussing specific planes and airlines and their little quirks. super fun. and they generally seem to enjoy chatting with me about it!
-

I only communicate via body language when they annoy me.

Agreed. From my limited MHK airport experience, pilots are the best.
-
12 hours is a long flight. it's hard to maintain complete aloofness on such flights.
-
I think the obvious answer for most everyone is K-S-U. He's a terrible human and a complete bore.
-
keep in mind you would be at a minimum familiar with this pit'er from interaction with him in the pit, so not complete and utter stone cold white midwestern stranger.
-
sat next to Tom Osborne, his hands have busted blood vessels in them and are black in those areas, looked really really old 10 years ago, its unbelievable hes still alive really.
-
A 12-hour flight's over in 12 hours. The pit's going on 6 years.
-
When I flew back from London two weeks ago, I sat next to this woman who was like 5'3" 130 and she insisted on using all of both arm rests, I was heated. I let her do it for about 3 hours before I muscled her out and took my rightful half. I also later gave her my caramel brownie from our dinner. I did all of this without making eye contact or taking my ear buds out.

Only if you're on a shitty, cheap AA jet with no personal entertainment device.

Sounds heavenly compared the Indian gentleman I sat next to from Frankfurt to Dallas. 30 minutes in, he removed his shoes and his feet stunk. Didn't put his shoes back on for about 4 hours when he got up to use the bathroom. The good part was, he and his wife never said a word to anyone not even to each other the entire flight and never once turned on their TVs. Just sat there staring at the back of the seat.
-
everyone takes their shoes off on flights over 6 hours. It's pretty much expected.
I sat on an SFO-Tokyo flight once and the Japanese couple also stared at the back of the seat for 10 hours. Didn't turn on the TV, crack open a magazine, nothing. Crazy.

not having a personal entertainment device ready to go on a long flight is almost as disastrous as not wearing headphones.

Imagine my horror when I flew to London and I was on an AA flight to London that was so old that they didn't have them, just the tv's like every five rows, even in first class. This plane is so old it still has the telephones with the credit card slider, that's what we put our buds in to watch rough ridin' Annie and the Fantastic Four. Luckily I had my tablet with an e-reader and I was tired.
Thank God for British Airways for my flight back.
-
I flew AA to London and it had probably the best entertainment system I've ever had, in coach. The plane was pretty new though.

I was on a United flight from Hong Kong to SFO that had the same arrangement, but the system died 3 hours into the flight! I had plenty of TV preloaded on a tablet, but I still got 2500 bonus miles out of the deal.

YES
It absolutely is not.
Foreigners talk on planes to strangers constantly.

yeah, that's true.
-
Maybe a Caucasian thing? Never seen this in Asia.
-
not a european thing, imo. more like third world thing, i'd say.

Talking to the stranger next to them on a flight.
This, all you pretend travelers shut up. The white Midwesternery guy next to me is trying to chat. I'm not buzzed enough
-
"So, is Kansas City home?" :buh-bye:
-
ask him about mexicans
-
Ask him about troost area
-
If fly from the MW to the SE often, you'll invariably be sitting next to the people going to catch a cruise ship, and they're really excited.

Lol

We glossed over this, it is very gross. Was the plane sold out? I would have done the dip. And I totally disagree that it's okay to take off your shoes. I take my shoes off the second I walk into my office but I won't do it on a plane, too many people have expressed objection to it.
-
on my last long flight the airline passed out complementary slippers.
-
Am I a pit'er?
-

That's fantastic. Air Asia?

turkish air. they treat the coach passengers well.
-
I wear sandals when I fly unless it's under like 10 degrees

It was a full plane. Nowhere to move to.

Good threads go where they go man, they can't be controlled.
-
I wish I flew more, or knew more about flying. It seems cool.
-
I usually wear slip on vans on long flights. Basically slippers. Also, taking your shoes off at work is ridiculous, what is wrong with you. Long haul flights are disgusting cesspools no matter what so go for max comfort and take off your shoes if the flight is 6+ hours.
-
If they give you socks, then taking your shoes and socks off must be expected.
Gonna win 'em all! (using Tapatalk)

I have some AA socks and Lufthansa slippers and pajamas at home.
-
I take my shoes off at work :shy:

One time flying out of Tel Aviv the plane was entirely full, except the seat next to me. What rough ridin' luck! I was sitting on the outside aisle, can't remember if it was 2 or 3 seats on my side, but I was the aisle seat. Anyway, last minute, this older Jewish dude boards the plan all huffy and hustles back and gives me the "scoot over" hand gesture. I say no and start to get up. He scowls at me and tries the gesture again, with even more middle eastern gusto. I repeat hey man I'm the aisle seat. He gets in and is all dejected for the entire flight. I know the rough rider spoke English, too. I love the Jews, but they'll try to screw you every time they can.
-
On a trans-Atlantic flight a few years back, a got on with terrible BO. I guess this happens a lot - cultural no showering thing. Anyway, flight was only about 2/3rds full so the flight attendants kinda discretely relocated people to other parts of the plane. Didn't 100% fix the situation but it sure helped. Good for them.
-
JFC, K-S-U-Wildcats, you're the rough ridin' worst!
-
Of course emo and ksuw have to come in here and mess everything up

my wife has a great story of an old turkish guy (turkish air again) who refused to allow the flight attendant to reseat any other passengers into the exit row that he had to himself. he stood his ground and apparently won the day, keeping the row to himself (the passengers they were trying to reseat got moved to first class). caused a 20 minute delay and police boarded the plan to calm the situation, but he won.

I'm the same. I don't enjoy drinking on flights. I have to pee like crazy the second I finish a beer.

Lol at can't drink and play golf, I pound a beer per hole in the summer and maintain a 4 handicap.

I bet you do, you and Kim Jung Un both.
