...on a plane because he asked the guy in front of him to move his seat upright during takeoff. Apparently, the dude got enraged. Romney didn't retaliate and let the crew handle things.

This does tell us something about Mr. Romney. What sort of a guy worries about the incline of other people's seats?

Apparently, his wife complained. He was just being gentlemanly. :)

What kind of a man marries a wife who complains?

I do. I wish the seats didn't recline at all... I hate getting my knees smashed because some jerk has to be leaning back.

What sort of man isn't sure whether his question is rhetorical?

Then don't fly. Ride a bike. Or, better yet, become even more of a lefty conservationist like Travolta, buy your own private 747 and fly yourself around and then tell people to stop using so much oil and gas.

No kidding. On a flight from Vegas to PDX a guy in front of me leaned his seat back literally onto my lap. I gently blocked it with my forearm and said, "No, I'm sorry. I don't have any room back here." The man then got up, stood over me and screamed at me for five minutes. When I told him, "I'm sorry, but you leaning back will end with your head between my man-boobs" he went nuts. He said he'd beat the shit out of me when the plane landed.

After the flight, he came looking for me, still angry, still looking to beat the shit out of me. He didn't see me until we were in among a bunch of people, and he didn't have the balls to beat me up.
 
I've gotten used to people not giving a shit about others. It used to be common courtesy to ask the person behind you if they minded if you reclined your seat. No longer.

What planes are you guys riding on that allow the seat to recline that much?

Every plane I've ever been on to Vegas/Texas/Europe, etc never allows for a recline that far as to impose on the other person that much....

Generally the recline goes back like 3-4 inches, just enough so your not sitting straight up the entire flight...

we disown him because he's a scientologist. We are accepting of everyone except people that choose to be crazy.:devilwink:

I'm 6'4". When I fly coach, there's not enough room for my knees when the person in front of me has their seat upright.

And some people just recline their seats really fast and unexpected. Fucking dickweeds. Airline travel is now such a degrading fucking experience.
 
I ate talking to people on planes unless they are hot girls, and I don't often get that. :(
 
usually for me old people. they just love to fucking chat.

most of the times I just try to sleep now so I don't have to talk to anyone.
 
I hate how every plane now is loaded to the gills with people. I'm still getting over a cold I caught on one three weeks ago. I miss the good old days when all the airlines were losing money because there were acres of space between people. Now we're wedged so tight 14 passengers smell my farts before I do.

I also hate small dogs, kippers and the Irish.

Especially kippers.
 
I don't know what it is, but I fly to Mexico alot and as SOON as the planes land, the mexicans all just push each other to get out of the plane....in the US, people usually let each other exit row by row but the mexicans just grab their shit and push through....especially the ladies. I try to jab them with my elbow as they push by.

Traveling around the world makes you realize how polite Americans actually are.

I remember I was so fucking fed up with people shoving past me in Croatia. Once, I was getting ready to get on a bus I could sense some chick behind me, so I just said "fuck it" to myself and rudely shoved out an arm to grab the bus, thereby blocking her (and nearly clotheslining her in the process). I turn to look and the lady is wearing....A Fucking Neck Brace. Seriously. And not the "Carl Sagan turtleneck" type, but the full-on "metal screws going into her head to keep the shit all together" type.

She stared at me like she wanted to eat my liver. I was lucky I didn't kill the lady. (Still--why the fuck was she trying to cut in? Jesus.)

I felt like utter crap after that. I just gave up and decided if some rude fucker wants to cut ahead, it's not worth getting worked up over.

On another trip I remember watching some Italians try to cut in to the front of a currency exchange in Denmark (before the Euro). They get to the front and this stern-looking viking woman behind the counter stares at them and waves her finger in the international symbol for "get to the fucking back you douches!" It was sweet victory watching them trudge behind us.

I love the Danes.
