# 052 The way people behave .....................

The way people behave never ceases to amaze me. 

Jet airways flight from Kuwait to Mumbai on 31/1/2015 - As always I chose an aisle seat at the back of the aircraft in the hope that the middle seat is vacant. Chances that the middle seat is vacant is very low, if you choose an aisle seat in the front. To my bad luck, it got occupied. But I was happy the window seat was vacant! So I requested the passenger next to me in the middle seat to move over to the window seat so that both of us could be comfortable. But he didn't move over. To this day I can't figure out why he didn't want to be seated himself comfortably - in the process helping the fellow passenger to be seated comfortably too?What is more, he was continually disturbing me with his constant movements across the seats to grab drinks, food and what not! I was surprised that even though the flight took off at mid night (early morn) at 1.10 am, people like him keep taking food, perhaps because it is free!!

The Mumbai to Bangalore flight saw another peculiar behaviour. I tried to keep the flask (which I always carry) in the pocket in front, removed magazines and  out of politeness asked for permission to keep them in pocket in front of the person seated next t me. He regretted since he is keeping his Passport and so no other papers could be kept. In fact I found out that I could not keep my flask in front of seat because of his having transferred the contents from the pocket in front of him to mine !!
