Why do people think it's ok to put your window shade down on the plane?

I find it to be so rude when people do this. One thing if it's a redeye, or if it's dark, or if the sun is shining right into people's eyes. But otherwise, the window belongs to everyone in the row. I've had this happen so many times recently and you don't even know when you're landing. It's soooooooo selfish!

Book the window seat.

The window does not belong to everyone in the row. It belongs to the window seat.

I agree this drives me crazy. I do always book the window seat when possible.

Yep. I like the shade up during the day as well, but I value easy access to the bathroom more, so I book the aisle and deal with the fact that the window seat passenger determines the status of the shade. And of course, the hapless middle seat passenger gets both armrests.

I hate when the window is open. I’m assuming it’s like a 50-50 thing, some like it open some like it closed. What I do not understand is why this would make someone angry?

You don’t hear the announcement, prepare for landing?

I think most people put the shade down because they can’t see the teeny tiny movie playing on their phone.

Exactly. You don’t get everything your way, OP. Bet you sit on the aisle, hog the middle armrest and sigh heavily when someone in your row needs to use the bathroom.

It’s annoying that window seats cost more. Airlines try to screw us over any way possible.

Really hate flying.

We think it’s okay because it IS okay. The window seat gets the window.

In Europe they make you do this leaving and arriving.

You are ridiculous

I love that middle seats cost less. Airlines try to make flying affordable for all budgets in every way possible.

OP seems to be saying that the people in the window seat don't
