Airport MANNERS

I wish travel was as eloquent as this video. Where were all the other people who make it hellish.

You noticed I shouted out the manners part of the airport. What is with people!!!! Traveling is not so bad, but the people who travel make it horrible. Yelling, littering, selfish and downright disgusting.

Number one. PEOPLE, do not get in line until you have been called. Yesterday at LAX at least one third of the plane got in line and NONE of them were first, business class or priority boarders. So we all had to excuse ourselves as we pushed through the congestion.

Number two. DO NOT sit on the floor of the airport directly in the path of where people have to board. Are you joking me teenagers! Move out of the way, I have bags to roll and places to go.

Number three. Do you really need your seat reclined when you're eating. I don't know, but I thought only Jews did that on Rosh Hashanah. I see you in front of me trying to sit up straight trying to eat, but can't because....your seat is reclined in my lap.

Number four. You, sitting behind me, have given me whiplash with grabbing so hard on my seat when you got up and then letting go and your child has given my partner kidney damage from kicking it.

Number five. Unfortunately even my seatmate was an accomplice on this flight. He got up to use the facilities, of course I had to get out first because I was sitting on the aisle and then for some bizarre reason he put his full glass of soda in my seat underneath a blanket and of course I sat on it. This was in the first hour of a 5 hour flight.

To many numbers to list.

The flight attendants were lovely. I'd just like to make that point. They did their job well, were polite and very helpful. I don't think I could be as pleasant dealing with some of the issues they had to deal with...so kudos to them.

Traveling can be long and tiresome. But if we all had a little respect for one another and didn't treat our travel as if we were the only ones traveling and therefore could act and do what we wanted, it would be a lot better.

Manners for everyday situations.
