In Flight Patience

Undoubtedly on each flight numerous people will get caught in a
somewhat awkward waiting area in the aisle while either a flight
attendant has snuck in between them and their seat whilst they went to
the bathroom or someone is trying to dig out the latest issue of
"Metal Detector Magizine" from the overhead compartment. I must say
that is quite unnatural for a human to be standing in front of
complete strangers 40,000 feet in the air for this period of time.
And that's another thing, you don't know how long that period of time
will be. It could be a quick stint in the aisle or it could last
upwards of 2-4 minutes depending on the situation and/or the size of
the person you are waiting on.

I propose that the next time you are stuck in this Twilight Zone that
you give the people that are staring at you and living each painful
second with you a reason to look at you. Break into song, give a
speech or soliloquy of some kind or even do some jumping jacks or pull
ups. I think this would be much more entertaining than standing there
crossing your arms and nervously biting your lip

And yes, I used the word "whilst" and "soliloquy" in the same post.

You're welcome.
