Last January I screamed at a man (it's always a man) on an airplane because he bum rushed the aisles. And boy did he regret that, after he met the stone wall of human that was me and Chris (we both like to sit in aisle seats and that really paid off that trip, because we were a united force against this utter asshole. Anyway, as we deplaned, I heard the woman in front of me comment that, "they shouldn't have screamed at that man." UMM EXCUSE ME. He is not any more important than any one of us. We are living in a SOCIETY (allegedly, to your point) and we ALL FOLLOW THE RULES. I'm heated all over again, just thinking about it. I do love to get in a public fight with an asshole.....
You will be pleased to know that Brad also stands by those headphones (of course). And the thing I miss most about traveling for work & as a result gaining status on an airline is being seated at the front of plane so I can avoid all the chaos monsters who disrupt the orderly flow.
First of all, I cannot agree with your plane etiquette thoughts more. I also flip out if someone listens to their phone without headphones. Just a nightmare.
Also, sooooo glad you love the headphones!! They really are one of the best purchases of my life.
Wow. That Dorothy Allison essay is SO GOOD. She perfectly captures what I want from a book and what I want to be able to do with mine. I can see gaps where I need to go back and fill in some details.

I just love an orderly flow! Why is this so controversial?!

I believe there’s a special place in hell for people who don’t use headphones in public.

Same! She’s so good at explaining it & I love the exercise where you define a city in one word/phrase.
