Talk to the Tray Table
I don't like talking to other people on airplanes. When I get on a plane for a long flight (say, more than three hours), I have bunker mentality. I have my electronic devices, my books, water and food, and I just want to zone out for the next x number of hours.
So, it irritates the heck out of me when some eager traveller in the next seat wants to chit chat. Thanks to Gadling, here's an ABC News article discussing how to avoid the long haul talk:
After some 78 years of commercial airline flying, you'd think that someone would have published by now a guide to the fine etiquette of airborne verbal exchanges, highlighting the good, the bad and the crashing bore. But, in fact, few have ever really given it much thought, and what we learned in kindergarten about basic courtesy was probably enough for most of us.
They also cover loud-talkers from other rows in the plane. They're a nasty scourge as well, and harder to deal with.
