I choose the window seat because I like to look out the window. I don't shut it unless I'm asked to.
It never occurred to me that someone in a middle or aisle seat would request the window seat person to close the window shade.
Looking out the window is the only fun part of flying these days.
It's your window, you can do with it what you want.
If you want to control the window shade, pick the window seat.
If you want darkness or quiet so you can sleep on your flight, bring a sleep mask or earplugs.
Window seat chooses open or closed.
And middle seat gets both armrests. Aisle gets the legroom and gets to take a piss without stepping over someone. It is the way.
A couple of days ago I had 2 beers at the airport and a window seat. I had to fucking hold it for almost 4 hours. But I'm not the kind of asshole who makes two people get up twice.
What a legend. But next time go take a piss, I'd prefer 20 seconds of mild inconvenience over sitting next to a piss soaked guy who couldn't hold it.
His name was Robert Paulson.
Related and maybe unpopular: nobody should recline their seat. They should just take that feature out of planes entirely.
I think all the seats should come pre reclined
Bunk beds in planes. Just go all the way. I'd be so keen to spend the whole flight napping. Not sure about the safety aspects though
Disagree, we need more reclination and more space between the seats to accommodate that.
But there isn’t more space between the seats
People should be responsible for their own comfort. Bring your own sleep mask, ear plugs, neck pillow, blanket, or whatever else you need to be comfortable.
Do not lick the window.
Do not hit the window.
Do not draw on the window with permanent markers.
Dry erase are fine.
Do not moon, flash, or full monty the ground crew. Baggage gets lost that way. Fueling hoses are misconnected that way.
Do not draw on the window with permanent markers.
If it's a sharpie, you can get rid of the mark with hand sanitizer.
That's an old teacher trick. A better one is using a dry erase marker to remove permanent marker. Not perfect, but works in a pinch.
Bring an eye mask if the light will keep you awake.
we all have unwritten rules like how far behind someone you stand while you are in line
Do not stand behind someone who's going to fire off the bazooka.
I've partially closed one before when I was by the window to help block some of the light but still allow me to look out. It was also a half-filled plane and I had the whole row. If someone beside me was sleeping or reading and it was too bright I would have closed it fully.
Just be aware of your surroundings and others. Too many people are so deep into their own stuff they don't see others around them or what might help them.
I'd never close the window for any reason ... that's my window. I chose that seat so I can look out of it.
Yeah fuck all those people trying to sleep.
Indeed. Not my problem they didn't bring a sleepmask.
