I’d love to know where you’re flying from where every seat on every plane isn’t overbooked/oversold months in advance? ;-)

Yep, same here. Not a fed myself, but my company serves a regulatory agency. Not only do I have to pick the lowest fare I can find, but after submitting my travel request, the bean-counters will “helpfully” find flights I may have missed. “Oh look, if you leave one this one, at 5 AM, it’s $40 cheaper!

I think it’s a requirement to give people room to stand for speedy evacuation in an emergency.  Same reason they make you put the seatbacks up during takeoff and landing.  

Economy sears on the few SAS and Lufthansa planes I’ve had the privilege of flying do exactly this. Probably too expensive an option for our penny-pinching domestic carriers, though.

“It’s hard to articulate inner thought processes.”

Interesting. (non-verbal thinker here). I also have a similar morning routine, but none of it is verbalized, either in thought or out loud. It all just...kinda happens. Very auto-piloty, actual, though also in no set order...more like “what thing that needs doing is currently in my scope of vision.” (though that is…

Happily nodding along to your comment right up until “smells.”

Non-verbal, abstract web of thoughts. Yes, exactly.

Sure, here ya go:

That is the exact same “play behavior” coyotes commonly use to lure dogs away from their homes, whereupon once safely away from rescue, the rest of the pack sets upon them and makes a meal of fido.

Actually, now that you mention it, Gwendoline Christie (Brienne) would have been absolutely perfect as Lady Sybil!
