 |
|
Everr been on a plane and you pleasantly doze off. You like sleeping on the plane because it makes your trip go by faster. So, you just doze off and the Korean guy behind you decides to get up. He raises his hand to the back of your seat and raises himself up. Of course, this shakes your seat and you are awaken from a pleasant snooze. Of course he comes back and again reaches for the back of your seqat to lower his bodydown. Now, I might be unique, but I have always been able to sit in seats on planes, trains and buses, without the support of the seat in front of me. Also, I have found that as a Korean walks down the aisles, they have a need to grab the back of every seat as they go.
I don't know, but I have always found this need to use the back of someone's seat for support a little annoying. |

On a flight to Osaka, some Canidiot did this to me 4 or 5 times as he was getting up to go chat with his fellow countrymen on the plane.
It's not just Koreans, but I think they are disproportionate offenders. |

| Yeah, I've had that happen many times. However, the most irritating thing to me is when a movie is going on, some idiots decide they want to stand up by their seats and they are smack dab right between people watching the movie and the screen; they just stand there and seem oblivious to the fact some people are interested in the movie... |

| I'm a bit guilty of grabbing the backs of seats when walking down the isles, but I think that's to do with feeling like I've been put through a washing machine every time I take a long flight. |

| I hate just about everything about flying. But, sit me down next to a sweet smelling little honey...everything is a-ok. |

| San Jose. I wonder if the Koreans there are inconsiderate as well? |

The solution, of course, is to fly First Class. Such seat grabbing is unnoticeable there. |

I really don't think this kind of behaviour is specific to Koreans. You're racist, and I'm pretty sure it's to the extent that comments like the above don't seem wrong to you anymore. |

On every flight I've ever been on...maybe 300?...there have been sweet smelling honeys....but I don't ever remember sitting beside one. I think they just let them walk on, walk around to get the guys hopes up, and then get off and go walk around another airplane. |
