How hard is it for someone to go without their damn phone for a flight. Probably can’t connect to towers anyways when you’re up in the air. That business deal or meeting can wait. For once in your life just do what someone else asks of you before taking off and stop bitching. Or drive or take a train.
Very odd energy.
Yeah good plan, I'll drive or take a plane across the ocean for my next vacation. Not every trip can be taken by land and many that can are extremely long and or slow.
Okay, heres the thing. You're stuck in a giant tube in the sky for hours. I get people will be bored from lack of anything to do. Hell this post isn't even about that. Its about how we keep clinging to old standards that made sense at the time that are honestly just kinda dumb now.
If I know I'll be on a flight that's longer than, say, 2 hours, I'll make sure to bring enough entertainment (movies, TV games, books, downloaded internet articles, whatever) to last me the whole trip in case I can't sleep.
Whoever is too dumb to do that should just suffer.
Why would it be more acceptable to talk on your phone on a train instead of a plane?
Nope. Why would it be. In Europe there's specific wagons where talking on the phone is allowed, so the high-flyer corporate guys can do their thing while not annoying normal people.
Oh boy, who's gonna tell this guy about in-flight WiFi?
