People, don't leave your baggage on unused seat next to you.

I'll only move my stuff on my lap if all rows/pairs of seats have at least one person on them. Sitting next to a stranger when there are plenty of empty seats with no one next to them is super weird anyway.

I will do it, so people don't sit next to me.

Unless it's full to the brim, then I might let someone sit next to me.

I only do it when there are obvious empty rows left, otherwise it feels selfish because most people don't want someone next to them either

Somebody cute might sit next to you. You never know.

To me it's just a bother, I don't mind people sitting next to me as long they don't try to force interactions with me.

I hate it the most when I have my earphones in and wan't to sleep but people try to talk with me to force a conversation when I'm not intereted.

If I'm in the mood to talk I will remove my earphones.

Are you saying their baggage isn't cute?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Nah, I already have enough emotional baggage I can't work out or fix, don't really need any more.

Tap for spoilerThough I take my bags at around 60% free space
