The Bird Show.

Everyone's doing a lot, obviously doing a lot of holiday travel, and obviously I did take a plane trip this weekend, and we need to go ahead and make some rules for airplane etiquette because I ran into a couple of trouble spots on my airplane. People are getting more rude, I think, on planes now. Yeah, not even, yeah, just inconsiderate. Yeah, very inconsiderate. Can I go ahead and just start the rules?

Sure, let's all try to contribute to these, because I think we all have these kind of gripes. I can chime in a couple. All right. Rule number one, use your indoor voice. Nobody needs to hear your whole conversation from the front of the plane. Oh, my God. Who did you have that was like that was a drunk person? No, she wasn't even drunk.

She just wanted everyone to hear her life story and how great of a marathon runner she was.

She was just terrific. And you were like, shut. I could care less about your running skills. I could care less. But you could literally, like, she was like, Rose behind me. And you could hear this entire conversation how she spoke Spanish or she was trying to speak Spanish, but she was a great runner. Now, was she speaking to somebody next to her or was she on her cell phone? Speaking to someone next door. Okay. Because I know the cell phone loud talkers are even worse on a plane also. Just someone next to her. So indoor voices. Can I expand upon that? Because as long as we're talking about talking. Right. You need to learn to read the signs of the person next to you, the stranger next to you.

And if they are not willing to engage, stop trying.

Hands folded the way Jeff's are right now.

Reading when you get to your seat.

We're reading, we're not really reading.

We're looking at the magazine to indicate to you that we don't want to talk to you.

I'm trying to memorize the picture.

If my iPod earbuds are in my ear, that means don't chat. Absolutely. When I was flying back from Los Angeles, I forgot my iPod. Oh. But I wore the headphones. Tragic. Oh, good. Good. Would you plug them into the side of the arm, I had my bag on the floor and I just had them go into the bag. I put the zipper tight around it and I just lead that back and left him in. If people, if I'm not giving you eye contact, that means I don't want you to talk to me. Read the signs. Yeah. Okay, and rule number two. actually going to San Antonio, I had a seat near the front of the plane and needed to move because the family needed to sit together, blah, that was fine. So I moved to the back of the plane and sat on the aisle seat. Well, there's two larger people next to me. So I'm literally off the seat the entire time. So just be considerate of the person sitting next to you. Were they like hogging the armrest and all that stuff? He didn't want to put the armrest down. He needed the room. You can't do that. You can't do that. And I had no room. So I'm like literally half my butt is off the seat, the entire plane trip. That's a two and a half hour trip. That's not cool. Maybe like offer me a window. I don't know. So you're saying is that the plane, the plane's responsibility? Because I mean, obviously if he was a larger person, you're saying that he couldn't have done anything about. Well, he could ask to put like the armrest down or if I was comfortable if I don't know. You got to set that border. The armrest always has to be down, unless it's mutually agreed upon. That's rude. And then if they, if he can't put it down, then you should have called a flight attendant and just said, listen, that's my concern that he could not physically have that armrest down. Yeah. This was a debate for a while there also that if people are so large that they can't fit in one seat and they're sort of like, they're taking up two seats, should they have to pay for two seats on a plane so you don't have to go through that. I would say yes to that if all the airplane seats were the same size, but you can't tell sometimes. I mean, sometimes you're on a plane that feels like you've got plenty of room, and other times I feel squished and switched in sweet. Agreed.

And I don't feel like I'm overweight at all.

So as someone that is, I mean, I know you'd be squished into some of those.

You know, Canadian courts just ruled that airlines have to give obese passengers two seats and only charge them for one.

Is that right?

Really?

Wow.

That's a good idea.

I think that another rule needs to be common courtesy for older people, for elderly people.

It drives me crazy when I see like a young man, like maybe in his mid-30s or whatever,

just in a hustle to try to get out and not helping like a 70 something year old woman get her suitcase down from the overhead bin.
