[Did you just call me Coltrane?]

It's stupid to get an aisle seat if you plan to sleep, because you could be decapitated by a beverage cart. That would be messy and would keep others from getting their drinks. Very rude.

I once had a flight on America West where a very rude woman in front of me, in the bulkhead row, put her backpack under her seat, that is, in my legroom and wouldn't fucking move it, "because I don't have anywhere to put it," even though a gentleman on the other side of the aisle (not bulkhead) offered to put it under the seat in front of him. I told the woman that I was tall and that I deliberately only carried on one small bag so that I could have the room for my long luscious legs, and that she had no right to put her bag there, but she didn't move it, and the FA would not intervene.

So I fumed for a while, and considered whether I ought to get more confrontational, but decided instead to stomp on her bag with my feet, ruining the leather and crushing all of her precious crap that couldn't go in the overhead bin.

We're all just micro-Judge Dredds, doling out our sentences as we see fit. I love it.
