How Rude!

(0 comments)

I just don't get some people and how the world must revolve around them, oblivious to those around them. Case in point. I got my comp upgrade to first class, sitting in the aisle, fourth row.

The flight steward is doing a great job of serving everyone and the flight is smooth and quiet, except for the regular sounds of flight. It is a good time to read, nap or some light chit chat. Two rows up and across the aisle I noticed a guy pull out his smartphone. Now, smartphones are truly amazing to me, especially for travelers. You surf the internet, download movies to watch in flight. Read an ebook, play card games or correspond with email. Pretty amazing. So I settle in and pop open my Kindle eReader on my own smartphone to continue reading The Rise and the Fall of the Third Reich. I read it many years ago but I am slogging my way through it again as it is a great and detailed account of the Hitler empire.

As I begin to read I start hearing a rather loud and strange sound ahead of me. The guy in the second row decided he would play some sort of aerial combat dogfight on his smartphone...at full volume. Unbelievable. My fellow passengers and I all begin to look around as if to say; "dude, are you kidding me! Are you really that rude?". I was contemplating what to do. Fortunately the guy right in front of me beat me to the punch and asked the steward to handle it. He did and we can now resume our own, less noisy, activities in relative peace.

But, really, how difficult is it to consider your surroundings before turning up your decibels?

Come on, Dude, have some class.
