Ha. I remember one flight (very, delayed we had been in the airport for hours) the flight attendant walked past us and then noticed visually that my son was holding an iPad on very very low. She insisted we put headphones on him which he was not having so I put on subtitles and read them. That’s apparently fine. We were far quieter than the drunk guy in front of us…[/quote]
For some reason, which I'm sure science can explain, certain sounds are more intrusive and annoying.  People talking on cell phones are worse than people talking to their neighbor.  The noise from electronic devices is more annoying that a normal conversation.  Reading to your kid is less irritating than your kid's show.  [/quote]

Well the cell phone issue is that people talk loudly when they talk on the phone, not "noise from electronic devices"[/quote]
There's also something about hearing only one side of a conversation.[/quote]

Wow. Creepy.[/quote]
Not sure what's creepy about it?  I read an article a while back that discussed how hearing only one side of a conversation is more irritating, possibly because your brain tries to fill in the gaps or something.  [/quote]

I don't listen to people's private conversations. Do you?[/quote]
It's not private if you're having it in public, especially if you're having it in a confined space like an airplane.  That's why people get annoyed: because you can't *not* listen to it.  [/quote]
