Maybe a Caucasian thing? Never seen this in Asia.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

michigancat · « **Reply #68 on:** February 05, 2016, 01:39:47 AM »

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.

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.
