Topic : 03/06 Etiquette Dilemmas

It amazes me how many people actually pay attention to what others are wearing, I mean really aircraft seats are not set up like say train seats, so unless someone's child was hanging over the seat, how would they see anything ?  Okay, maybe she flashed when putting bags in the overhead, but how many passengers (unless you have a thing about watching others) were really paying that much attention.  Look at it this way, at least you KNEW for sure she wasn't hiding ANYTHING in that outfit ( tongue in cheek ) to be honest I wouldn't wear it (don't have the legs for it ), but what an airline charges for its tickets, no I wouldn't want them dictating what I can or cannot wear anyway.

As for the baby, OMG, if he was just babbling happily (beats the screaming child in row six , right ?) then whoever complained its their problem, and yes they should get over themselves, even a crying baby, his/her ears might be REALLY aching (I know when I fly my ears are in agony for the better part of the flight and NOTHING helps), if it bothers a person that badly, bring earplugs or charter a private flight, its PUBLIC transportation, that means you have to deal with every type of person imaginable.

Not only do I consider peeing on the seat, and using a cellphone while a clerk is waiting on you rude, or making sure EVERYONE in the restaurant hears your phone conversation, how about people using terms of endearment to you "sweetheart " , "dear" and my personal favorite "honey " to total strangers ? I can tolerate it from older people, but NOT people my age or younger, that drives me nuts.

As for noise sensitivity, migraines , adult ADHD and other illnesses can be culprits, but we do not live in a silent world (no kidding, there have been times I wished I would lose the hearing in my other ear as well, yes babies crying, screaming kids, they can send me up the wall, why ? It's the pitch of the wailing, however I do realize that there is probably a reason for it and have learned to remove myself.

I don't like women who dress like, um. uh, working girls, but what really scares me is people who think they are better and more moral than others.

Given the choice I'd rather sit next to a woman who has embraced a hooker look than someone who is looking forward to the end of the world and is dressed for it.
