Unspoken Rule of Air Travel

[Justinf]

Laptop users who stick eir elbows out and into your space while they are typing. This happened to me last Friday. Some guy was typing on his laptop and his right arm was pointing out into my space and in some instances nudging me in the side. I nudged him back and told him to retreat back to his part of the seat.

The elbows in the ribs thing is definitely one of my pet hates. I'm one of those nice people who usually gives the other person the armrest when in Y, but there have been a lot of rude people I've sat next to who want more than that .... whether they're on their laptop, reading a paper, or just sitting there oblivious!

I've had to ask a couple of them if they can stop doing it, it annoys me that much.

I confess that on one flight I was watching a movie, and decided to turn it off and get some sleep. In the dark, I accidentally grabbed the wrong controller, and turned off my neighbour's movie.

I half expect a comment here about passengers turning off other passenger's movies.

Mint Asure sounds interesing. It'd be a handy product to have for any long flights. Are there any Australian importers/retailers of Mint Asure?

These are the classic cardboard box style Jilla Mints. They also do the mints in a sugar free version in a small tin

Maybe Amazon.com would ship a box to you there? Or the Mint Assure company themselves? (I used to buy some herb tea from an Australian company that didn't yet have a U.S. distributor).

Mint Assure works much better than mere mints, which wear off quickly.
