That will be my situation next weekend for several flights as I go down to Florida with my dad (who couldn't book us any two seats linear seats). I also have no aisle or window seats.

 

What will that be like? What are the chances or weird people attempting to make small talk? Chances of a pedo (ie Mark) sitting next to me? Best to just keep my head down and go to my happy place?

 

Come on people this is a legit concern here. We're talking life or death.

I've honestly never been in that situation, I've never flown alone. At worst I've been in a middle row with a stranger on one side and someone I know on the other.

 

I advise just greeting them, but not getting into detailed introductions (name's, job's etc.) unless they ask you.

how long are the flights gonna be?

It's not that bad, just read a book or listen to your ipod or something.

Make it as awkward as possible. If you're stuck with someone for a few hours I find it's best to strike first in awkwardness. Start by picking your nose then offering that hand for a shake. Fart a lot then talk about how much you hate Jews.

 

Then share weird sex stories or break out a porno on your computer.

I want to change my answer to this, please.

How do you come up with this stuff, Lick? :lol:

Or I could bring a briefcase full of soap in case they do ask me what my job is. :sneaky:

 

That'll sound really weird to anyone who doesn't understand the reference.

Some are less than an hour, a couple are about 3 hours.

What if they think I'm snubbing them out? Might they get violent?

I considered this. I do the whole 'make situations uncomfortable' thing well.

 

Maybe I fall asleep on there shoulder. Then start having a sex dream.

I scare myself.

 

I've always been good at making things awkward.

Hahahaha yes! Before you sleep, make sure to mention how much your penis itches and burns while peeing and ask them if they're shaved down there.

I could do the entire sex deviant act. Wear a shirt with a down arrow that says 'Pleased to meat you', and randomly put my hat over my jeans as if stifling something.

*takes notes*

I would say take out the Koran and start quoting verses, but I'd probably get taken off the plane and cavity searched. Not even kidding.

i've never been on a plane, so i'm not much help for this thread

Honestly I've never flown alone. But there was once when somehow I ended up getting a seat completely away from the rest of my family. And I was in the middle. It depends on who you're in between, but hey I was between to hot guys. So it was all good. :cool:

I try to keep to myself but smile if they turn around to see me.. or greet them while they do..

one time, this creepy guy stared at me several times during the flight then when I was "asleep" he put a blanket on me.DON'T tell me it's cute.He was the creepy kind and wore his sun glasses during the entire flight (14 hrs).

how old was he?

I would say late thirties.And I was 23 at the time.He did nothing for the entire flight (Australia-LA.Very long) but stare at me or in front of him.He told me he was divorced

he was making small talk? you should have told him he was creeping you out hehe

yeah, I was like "Well...I'm tired....Night" but then he was even weirder while I was "sleeping." It's my only bad experience really.

aww was he at least cute?

Absolutely not.Well, since he had his sun glasses on all the time I couldn't see his eyes.I kinda hate that.I like eyes

yeah I get lost in eyes as well.. I think eyes are one of the most beautiful things

When I was returning from a holiday in Munich, I got sat in between a middle-aged couple who bought me some tea and gave me some of their chocolate, before asking me if I was okay. I felt like their child! Haha. :D
