Whenever I take a flight, I prefer to relax with a good book for the duration. The last thing I need is a disruption.
The man next to me had his own system. It involved complaining to the flight attendants about every little annoyance. First it was the seating assignment, then the lack of proper meal service, unless he was willing to pull out his credit card.
Spoiler alert: he wasn't.
The worst part was all of his bellyaching had to go through me, since I'd paid for the aisle.
My big mistake was politely asking him to stop whining.
