Why is it that we consider every space to be our private space? Why do we assume that others around us would be interested in listening to the noisy cacophony that we consider to be music? What would explain folks on a flight playing music or seeing a movie with the volume turned up without using a earphone? Do we even get basic courtesy? This is also my space dammit. What are your annoying travel moments? I have a few more, but I would love to hear yours. #justsaying #travelling #rant

@Samyukth People carrying humongous bags in trains and not leaving any space for co-passengers to keep theirs.

@milcom Yes, have faced that as well. And honestly, I have been guilty with my tons of camera equipment as well - but have always tried to help including sleeping with my bazooka (my big 600mm lens).

@Samyukth I haven't had that many annoying moments so far. While traveling alone, being a young girl, I was almost always offered help by some kind folks. And due to my introverted nature I'd always disconnect from the world by plugging in my headphones :p @milcom @usetab @iamdk @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @wabbster @musafir @Neeneen @Iwalkalone @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit

@Samyukth People incessantly kicking the back of my seat on flights! I understand it's their anxiety but I really don't want a piece of that.The other one is when they grab the seat to get up, and place their grip exactly where my hair is, taking out a few wisps from the back of my head.@iamdk @IshaKaushik @milcom @usetab @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @wabbster @musafir @Neeneen @Iwalkalone @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit @0_1 @sankarshan

@IshaKaushik Haha! I hear you. I used to be a bit averse to confrontation too, until one day, when I finally broke down and protested to a very large lady who kept using my shoulder as a crutch to lean in her entire weight in security check line. The burden was just too much for me. @wabbster @Samyukth @iamdk @milcom @usetab @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @musafir @Neeneen @Iwalkalone @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit @0_1 @sankarshan

@hackiechan I hope my snapping moment comes soon then. I just feel really uncomfortable confronting strangers, if you're polite then they wouldn't pay attention to you. If you are a bit assertive then you're being disrespectful. People our age are much more considerate though.@wabbster @Samyukth @iamdk @milcom @usetab @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @musafir @Neeneen @Iwalkalone @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit @0_1 @sankarshan

@IshaKaushik One tip for assertiveness: State very politely the pain and difficulty that the behavior is causing, with puppy face. "I'm so sorry but can you turn off the loud music? I didn't sleep last night and now I'm feeling very sick. Thank you for being so understanding." @wabbster @Samyukth @iamdk @milcom @usetab @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @musafir @Neeneen @Iwalkalone @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit @0_1 @sankarshan

I am sure everyone has had their fair share of tussles over the elbow rests. It is quite a chess game. Timing your move is essential. And on the Exit Rows, the tussle of quite intense. One needs to be a Magnus Carlsen to strategically make the right move at the right time.@hackiechan @Iwalkalone @IshaKaushik @wabbster @iamdk @milcom @usetab @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @musafir @Neeneen @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit @0_1 @sankarshan

@Samyukth Elbow rests and leg space encroachments!! Also, people butting into to the front of the queue. The direct approach works, usually for me. Elbow rests and leg space is usually Reclamation!! For queues, it's most likely a statement like "Hello... There's a queue here".@hackiechan @Iwalkalone @IshaKaushik @wabbster @iamdk @milcom @usetab @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @musafir @Neeneen @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @VivekT @KnottedBow @shirishag75 @Priyodit @0_1 @sankarshan

@KnottedBow From my limited experience it is the whole thing of baggage claim and transport. The cheapest flights are the red-eye flights whether in India or outside. And most of the flights are bunched together, say something like in-between 2-4 a.m. 1/n @Samyukth @VivekT @milcom @usetab @iamdk @KayKap @swati @Gabbarni @wabbster @musafir @Neeneen @Iwalkalone @IshaKaushik @procyon8x @CharismaticSal_ @Poonamsharma @abj @Priyodit
