These are the ones that get to us. What about you? Bad Passenger Behavior On Hawaii Flights.
Simple answer: These people grew up in an era where they weren’t taught that manners matter.
Of course, I began flying when coach class gave you so much space you could get up from a window seat and not disturb the person on the aisle, and men wore business suits and women wore their best dresses. But even though air travel has become a miserable necessity there’s no reason to act as though no one matters but yourself.
I think part of the rush to board stems from worry about finding an overhead bin for your carry-ons. It makes me think that paying a separate fee to reserve the overhead storage slots (with Storage# by your seat) would provide some ease of knowing the space will be available when you get to your seat. It might keep the volume of carry-ons down and help with the rush to board.
For me, it is the annoying belief people seem to have that others don’t have a right to quiet. Save your calls, music, and games when you are alone or at home. Unless it’s an emergency, there should be no phone conversations on the plane. No one, and I mean No One (including kids) should be permitted to use any device in which the sound is not silent to those around you. It is not as if we can leave the room if the ringing bells, shooting guns, and sound effects of your movie or game are making us crazy. When you are in a public area and/or a confined space; i.e. airplanes, buses, elevators, restaurants, theaters, doctor’s office waiting rooms, etc., it is courteous and proper to keep your noise to a minimum.
I feel that airlines missed the chance to be customer friendly when the charge to check bags, but make it free to bring on board. Think how much easier flying would be if fewer people brought all their baggage on board. Charge for that convenience and make it free to check. It would be better in all areas. Mho
It is hard to pick just one to dislike the most. What is the most troubling is that they all have the same cause: a disregard for other people. I’m exposing myself as an old fogey, but people used to pay attention to their surroundings, and not block grocery store aisles by being oblivious, and not pull emergency u-turns when there’s a perfectly good sidestreet a half block away to turn around safely. Don’t get me started on people that march down the center of sidewalks and force people coming toward them into the bushes to get by. (I’m looking at you, Portland, OR.) Bah! Humbug!
A little recognition that other people exist, and one’s behavior affects them, is all I ask. Is that too much?
