    This is me sometimes

    I’m probably standing up because I’ve been sitting down for hours—I’m quite tall and broad, so even in the extra legroom seats, I’m usually at some level of discomfort.

    Also I’ve often got a load of shit to put back in my bag, nice to get that done before I start moving. Plus, I always get the aisle seat, so I’m getting out of the way for others that want to do the same.

      This. I know I’m not going anywhere, I just want to stand for the next ten minutes.

    • If I need to stand in this situation, I don’t open the bin, and I don’t skip the line. Just stand; everyone else in your row can relax their elbows a bit.

      However, there are people who need to make connections, and not everyone gives themselves a lot of time to cross the airport, hit the head, and grab some food on the way. There are definitely asshole travelers, but I try to give my fellow sufferers a benefit of a doubt.

      The common enemy are the airlines; don’t let them divide us.
