CJ: the list didn't negate all tattoos, just offensive ones that aren't covered up. (Like the kind that are prejudiced in some way.) The only one I'm uncertain of is the 'violent' video games- if the sound is off or the player has headphones, what does it matter? Actually all of those are reasonable expectations.

Turns out, both myself and the couple should have been on other flights as I had missed my flight and they had decided to change their flight to an earlier one. After after visiting with the woman a bit, I found out her husband sits on the board of directors (for the past 15+ years) of the organization who awarded me a very generous scholarship for nursing school 12 years earlier, and was directly involved in the selection & decision-making process! Just remember to be on your best possbile behavior when you are out in public, you never know who you might be seated next to!

I don't think that's anything that affects me when I fly. If I don't like another passenger's ink then I am the one with the problem, not the other passenger. That one is just plain ridiculous. Also, if I am not supposed to use the reading light at night, what the hell is it there for? I am sorry, but I don't sleep on planes, I would rather read. As long as I am not using the lights that belong to the other two people in my row, then the rest of the passengers can suck it! I agree about having no tolerance for misbehaving brats. If that makes me a bitch, then fine, I am a bitch! Why should I have to listen to or put up with somebody else's brat making me miserable? I am surely not the only person not enjoying it!

I follow those rules and so do most people. But I have to say have no tolerance for children or babies that are not behaving. I will tolerate unconfined anmials if they are quiet. The main problem I have been faced with is unruley children and parents who just sit there and say.. well that's what children do. I agree with Craig.. I follow those rules and so do most people.

We need to quit giving exceptions to the other 30%. Craig in Scottsdale Actually, I think your list is reasonable and you just described about 70% of the people on most flights.
