It works.

It’s my NW friendliness coming thru. Or people are just chattier on the lines I fly.

You must seem friendly lol sorry about that. I actually adopted this tactic from a friend becasue I always used to get seated next to chatty older women and it drove me crazy.

Sometimes at work when I remove a scab or dry skin, I still say to myself ‘that’s a keeper!’.

What are you reading? Is it good? I know a great little place near the airport if you’d like to get a drink later.

I do headphones, big puffy sweater that is very doudy, book, and attitude. People still try and talk to me.

Addams Family Values is one of my favorite movies. This exchange always makes me laugh:

Oh dear God this happened to me. I kicked him out of my apartment by telling him that I had to pick up a friend from the airport*.

I have taken to putting in my earplanes the second my butt hits the seat. That combined with my lack of makeup, sweatpants, giant textbook, and RBF usually does the trick

Whaaaaat? My parents took me to Austin Powers 2 when I was a teenager and, to this day, I’ve never laughed harder in a movie theater.

And Terminator 2 and Toy Story 2.

While funny, be wary trying to utilize this technique in the real world.

Sad because the 90s had some of the best sequels beating the originals of all time. A Very Brady Sequel and Addams Family Values.

How dare you, you Fat Bastard hating fat bastard!

Wrong - no sequels, no Mini Me and Fat Bastard.

I couldn’t disagree more. While #2 wasn’t the best (still a good movie), #3 was a god damn masterpiece right up there with the original.

This article is really, really, really good Jezebel.

I wonder if that would work on a flight next time my seatmate is being intolerable...

Don’t you have a kid? You’ll need to drive them away in order to die alone. Really piss them off, otherwise they’ll try to care for you in your final days.

I have been known to do something similar to avoid talking to other people which is why i’m going to die alone.
