Quick Notes #5
April 10th, 2007
Blathering. If they decide that cell phones can be used on airplane flights, I want them to create “talking” and “no talking” divisions in the Economy-class cabin. The talkers get put in the back of the plane, and that’s where all the people with crying babies will be seated. Fair is fair.
Although crying babies on planes is not my favourite thing, I do try to keep it in my stride. I’m not sure if you know this, but babies often cry during take off and landings. It helps them equalize the pressure in their ears.
I heard a flight attendent explain that to a nervous mother once, and ever since then I’ve tried to be more understanding. After all, it’s not like babies can chew gum!
Cell phones are annoying anywhere. Personally, I’d rather put cell phone users on the wings than in the back of the plane. (And I do mean outside ON the wing
)
