Travel Manners

Here's a little teaser from my next column in Solares Hill.

Q. I don’t understand why people push and shove to be first on a plane when we’re all going to the same place and the plane can’t leave until we’re all on it and seated. How do you suggest I deal with these rude passengers?
A. Dearest tender heart, there is nothing more rude than a pusher or shover. I wouldn’t be surprised if these people had been chastised for this kind of behavior as children. Something about airplanes that make adults act like children and believe me it’s not because they’re going to Disney World! The best way to handle these types is to step aside and let them go ahead or to wait until everyone has boarded. I really don’t know when airlines are going to finally get it and let window seats sit first etc.

We all know these people, they should be made to go to the back of the line.
