window seat question

[Dugout DickStone]

Aisle is much more desirable

NO! Everyone should be trying to book the window first, then the middle seat, aisle seat is a last resort. Also, those exit row seats suck. Never book them.

Yeah, this

the middle ahead of the aisle? somebody check the cabin pressure cause dugout dstone and slobber aren't in their right minds.

(Hint: that's not what either of us really believes)

I have this awesome talent of looking really unfriendly so people just don't wanna sit in the middle seat next to me on SW flights. like they'll come on and be like "hey idiots this flight is full move your crap off the middle seat cuz people are gonna sit there" and so ill just be chilling there and boom. next thing I know the middle seat next to me is the only seat open on the flight. I can honestly say ive never seen a plane where someone else has an open middle seat and I don't. they never choose me. 

edit: I think this is a bad thing. im very shrek-like, apparently.

It's ok, tower has cleared you to circle around and make another pass

Also, I almost always get good lookin girls to sit next to me on SW

No.  Once you engage you have basically signed up for a whole flight of convo.

BUT, girl plus drink tickets = binge party at 33,000

I exchange pleasantries at the start and I'll even chat a little if the person has something interesting to say. After that, I'm usually pretty bored and uncomfortable so I just want to get back on the goddamn ground, and don't feel like talking much. It's all music and/or sleep.

If I'm in biz then I will size them up but usually headphones and elite magazine.

If I don't have gum at takeoff I freak out because it helps my ears pop. I need that gum.

[Emo EMAW]

I always offer my seatmates gum during pre-takeoff taxi.

not only does the aisle have the option to stretch out a little bit but you don't have to ask people to get up if you need to pee and you get to get off the plane that much quicker. now that doesn't mean you have the right to stand up if youre 15 rows back as soon as the doors open, but you can certainly if you want to. everyone else does.

I could see this thread quickly devolving into a general plane etiquette thread.  What breed of scurrilous vermin thinks it's okay to go ahead and leave before the rows in front of you have emptied?  There better be placenta on the floor... PLACENTA ON THE FLOOR.

One time I met a girl I was pretty sure I could marry on an airplane.  Alas, it was not to be.

Several times.  Dated an air waitress I met on a flight too

My buddy got off an airplane in a connecting city to shack up with a stewardess.  Was late for meeting next day.

I sat next to a Duke Cheerlearder recently. But, I am a man (and married! ) so I didn't creep on her.

you guys know dreamliners don't have window shades? You have this button that you push to control how much light comes through. Lets you peek out the window without waking up a sleeping international flight like a complete dickhead.

Headphones.
Multiple movies DL'ed to tablet.
Books on phone and tablet.
I have redundant back ups btwn phone and kindle so I don't have to talk unless someone hijacks the plane.

Be careful. The threat of possible crashing plane death can make the intimacy seem more intense than it is.

This is so correct it should be etched in stone somewhere.

I still get excited when i fly. Like, it's exciting to be going to a new place, etc, and the idea of flying is pretty amazing. But that actual act of flying, like rocketing through the sky in a tube of coughing, farting, cramped people, man it sort of sucks hard. Like, there is a point in every flight where I'm just like "fuuuuuuuuuck, I hate this. I wish I could sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time, but I can't. No, I don't really want to talk, I want to time warp to the second we have landed so I can escape this death cylinder."

I have a habit of listening to old voicemails

headphones, earplugs, movies, and/or good books can make it a quite pleasant little bubble.
