This was an excellent post! <br /><br />As far as I can recall in reading your blog (6 or 7 years I think), your remarkable patience always seems unending - and sometimes makes me just a little envious! <br /><br />This was very fun and entertaining to read.

Of course, I feel badly for everyone around him, but from where I sit, the guy's a walking joke.<br /><br />KBF: I always take the passive-aggressive tack - must be my journalist roots - and you're right, I should be more assertive. Next time...<br /><br />Freda: No worries at all. It really was/still is a screamingly funny experience. If we can't laugh at ourselves...<br /><br />Lissa: I was seriously tempted to post the hoovered data. THAT would have taught him a hard lesson (he was using his Berry for some rather sensitive work...every security risk factor in the book) but it isn't really me.

And yes, the picture got the laughter started.<br /><br />I have to say - I'd have done the same thing - ratted the guy out and asked for a delay in response. You asked, "gratuitous? Mean-spirited?" I answer: No. You didn't publish the personal info you gleaned from his overt mobile-usage. THAT would have been all of the above! Restraint in situations like these is admirable!<br /><br />Thank you for the grins - and btw, great pic of you!

There is a reason for the 'call button'... You are too nice, if u were trying to avoid a confrontation next time go up to the steward and voice your complaint.. U paid good money for that seat.. Also always book your flight where u get an aisle seat, that's the only way I will fly.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-19290661122086340182011-06-11T20:14:18.108-04:002011-06-11T20:14:18.108-04:00Carmi, Carmi, Carmi.
