In Reply to: Children in Bal- hints for a happy trip posted by elcee on Thursday, 26. August 2010 at 08:42 Bali Time:
How to minimise nuisance problems etc on planes.
Ban all children under mmmm let's say 12, unless bound and gagged.
Ban all those who drink so much they have to go back and forth to the toilet climbing over other passengers. Why don't they book an aisle seat I ask myself but get no reply.
Ban all guys who dribble pee on the toilet rim and/or floor but that may be the same group as above. What the hell! Ban them twice!
Ban the seat recline to the maximum while the person behind is eating guy.
Ban seat kickers of all ages.
Ban all those who cannot get out of their seat to go for a pee after many beers without heaving on the seat in front spilling my wine, if I am not banned from drinking wine.
Ban anyone whose long legs or wide width impinge on my personal space.
Ban the non stop call button pinger.
Ban the guy with his long legs sticking out in the aisle who trips me up on the way to the loo for my one and only trip.
Ban loud laughing guy and shrieking girlfriend.
Ban the couple who were singing "Tak Gendong" with the flight crew while waiting to disembark on a non drinking AA flight. The flight crew did a spontaneous dance too whilst singing so ban them! Oh that was Brian and me, never mind banning us but you can still ban the cabin crew for being so damn happy!
Ban the throw his hand baggage on top of mine in the overhead locker crushing my tasteful frangipani decorative table arrangement guy.
Some of these miscreants won't become obvious until during the flight so banning them will be a little late. Suggest chucking them out of the plane somewhere near Christmas Island even if this means a diversion.
Congratulations to the 7 of you who fit into none of the above categories. Non Voyage and Selamat Jalan!
