The Four People You Don’t Want to Sit Next to on a Plane
Let me begin by promising you that I am not an angry person. I would actually vow that I am inherently happy and all-around quite friendly and nice. But one thing that really grinds my gears, is being seated next to a nightmare neighbor on an airplane.
1.
Perhaps you normally like them, but when you are sitting next to them on a plane it’s a different thing. They usually spend all the flight moving around and dropping their toys on the floor, and when they’re drinking their orange juice it ends up on your trousers. 2.. So you can’t have the little sleep that you were planning.
Conversation makers
You recognize this type as soon as you sit down. They immediately start talking about the plane, or the weather, or they ask you a personal question. It’s very difficult not to talk to these people. 3..
Nervous fliers
These are the people with white faces who sit down and immediately ask for something to drink. Every five minutes they call a flight attendant to ask if there are any problems with the plane. 4.. The best thing to do is to pretend to sleep.
Space invaders
5.. But they have a terrible habit of taking up all their room, and some of your room too. They usually sit so that you can’t move, with their arms and legs in your space.
A. Naughty kids
B. Well-behaved parents
C. They also tell you about air crash
D. Some people want to talk all the time
E. The people are not necessarily very large
F. Then they decide they want to have fun with you
G. You’ll probably have to keep talking until the plane lands
