[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the pandemic just made worse what was already bad.  [b]A new behavior post pandemic for me are the people pushing you over in the aisle to rush from row 37  to be the first off the plane.[/b] And if you enter the aisle to get your bag, you are subject to their breathy, vulgar, criminal slurs.

But really before the pandemic, it was an arms race of noise cancelling headphones elbowing to fight ofr the middle seat and seething over issues with your seat ranging from small kid kicking it to the pressures of the laptop on the tray behind you.

20 years ago you might even talk to someone on a lfight.  My most extensive conversation on the flight in the past 3 years (and I fly 80k miles/year, mostly domestic, alas) was with a woman engaged in copious PDA and with minimal clothing (think skintight butt shorts and a crop top) who spilled a full class of water on my seat when I got up to go the bathroom, probably on purpose.

Life is too short to dwell, but yes, flying is not what it used to be and is truly a place where we all just get through.

Those of you romanticizing the bus, well, I've tried that too.   It isn't worse than flying, but it is certainly no way on earth better. And it is much, much longer.

One day the world will be so bad no one will understand our complaints about the terribleness.  At least I tell myself this, though perhaps I should be more optimistic about the world.[/quote]

These people have got places to be, people to see.  Also, they are really important and special.  That’s why they are sitting in seat 34b.  Since they are THE ONLY ONES THAT WANT TO GET OFF THE PLANE, we should dutifully clear the aisles for them so they can exit first 😉[/quote]

If they were as important as they think they are, in their own minds, certainly they could afford private jets.  But they can't, so they can sit down and wait their turn.
