About Me

Hi, my name is Randy Hill and I am just one of thousands of people around the world, tired and frustrated with the lack of consideration that is displayed by a growing "demographic" that I call, "the great unwashed and ill-mannered." People who can't seem to get outside their little world long enough to see the stress that they create on the rest of the population.

I've created this blog and online store as an outlet for this pent-up frustration...and also to have a little devious fun while I'm at it!

Have fun and keep it down while you're in here. Thanks.

Nightmare at 33,000 feet

By Randy | January 7, 2008

Mr. Smith is talking endlessly on his cell phone to his business partner back in Los Angeles. Brad is surfing the internet for porn while little Johnny is peeking between the seats to watch what Brad is tuning into while his mom sleeps. Tanya is texting expletive laden messages to her friend up in the front of the plane.

Welcome to high altitude, free speech everybody. Does anyone smell a fight getting ready to erupt?

Airline companies are already taking steps to staunch the bleeding. Some will be blocking internet phone calls all together and many will install filters to protect innocent eyes.

“An airborne environment is a confined environment,” said Charles Ogilvie, Virgin’s director of in-flight entertainment and partnerships. “You don’t want 22B yapping away or playing on a boom box.”
