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.

How to behave on a plane, or, “Excuse me, but your seat is in my soup.”
By Randy | June 6, 2007
If there is anything worse than spending time on a crowded highway with rude and out of control drivers, it’s spending time on a crowded jet with rude and out of control passengers.
Like it or not, you’re stuck with these people for the next few hours. This is the perfect time to take a refresher course in airline manners.
Here’s my top ten:
1) Use your inside voice. It will be really appreciated in this confined space.
2) Don’t let your child kick the back of the seat in front of him/her.
3) Warn the person behind you when you get ready to recline. There’s nothing like a lap full of coffee and bad food to ruin a person’s flight.
4) Cut back on the cologne and perfume before boarding. Try not to smoke for a few hours before boarding. I’m getting a headache just thinking about it.
5) Don’t get drunk. That’s what bars are for. Nothing worse than a drunk and obnoxious person.
6) Don’t joke about bombs
7) Don’t joke about hijackers. Jeez, that’s just stupid.
8) Turn down your iPod. If I can hear it and you’re wearing headphones, it is too loud.
9) Keep your child under control. Please.
10) The person in the middle seat gets both armrests. This isn’t an official rule, but it makes sense to me.
