airplane etiquette

Oct 3, 2007
i travel a lot, and i am one of those people who like to follow airport/airplane rituals. it bugs the crap out of me that other people don't.



rule 1: finding your seat. please look at your ticket, because it does say what seat and what aisle letter you're supposed to be in. when i come down the aisle, and find that you're sitting in my seat, don't play stupid and say 'no...i think this is my seat. let me see your ticket.' NO DUDE! let ME see YOUR ticket. what the heck.

rule 2: getting seated. when someone is already sitting in the aisle seat and your seat is either the middle or the window, have the courtesy to say excuse me, because much to your surprise, they might even get up for you. for the person who's sitting down already, no we don't take pleasure in having your butt close to being rubbed in our faces as you pass by, or having your crotch like, ____ that close to our face either.
<--neither of these situations are pleasant. rule 3: snoring. if you know you snore, then do us all a favor, and buy a breathe right strip and put it on your nose. i promise, it doesn't hurt. rule 4: farting. if you've ever noticed, if you fart at the front of the plane, and you travel to the back like, an hour later, you can still smell it. so don't do it because despite what your mother tells you, your fart or your poop does not smell nice. rule 5: getting out. once again, say excuse me. don't step on people its not nice. rule 6: leaving the plane. we're all going out the same way and no matter how fast you manage to dart out of the plane, you still have to get online for customs. so don't push and wait for your turn. people don't appreciate having to be squished against each other just so you can get out a couple of minutes earlier. if it makes any flyer anymore comforted, even celebrities need to go through secruity. <--there goes kate beckinsale flying
