Could any of his IT talk have been construed as a terrorist threat?Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostWas heading back to UK from AMS and got seated unfortunately next to a fat lazy looking bloke. My initial misgivings were proven true when he decided all of a sudden to attack me with all sorts of IT things he had just read.
I felt like I was being strangled and to make matters worse he attempted to convince me to go with him to meetups or something. I think its some sort of speed dating because he did look like someone who hadn't had any in his lifetime
Anyway I called for a stiff drink and dozed off before any further damage.
What do you all think of flight etiquette?

not as bad as dutch people who insist on reclining their seat fully for the entire flight, when they are sitting in front of you for 12 hours
I can understand air rage after that

My opinion is that you should make it clear whether you want to engage in conversation*, ignore*, or plot their demise.
*I have put these two options in, but never felt an inkling of desire for them.
