Given that I observe so many odd things (or at least I think they're odd), I'm starting an "Oddity of the Day" post. I could probably post something every day, but I will try to post only the oddest. I could probably call this "Rant of the Day," but nine out of ten posts would likely fall into the rant category! :)
Today's Oddity:
What is with people on airplanes who think that the overhead compartment purpose is to keep their suit jackets uncrushed and wrinkle-free? And that said jackets take priority over actual luggage?
Last night the guy sitting next to me practically flew from his seat when another passenger touched his suit jacket while trying to put luggage in the overhead.
I mean, I don't want to discriminate about what's acceptable overhead cargo and what's not, but if a person can legitimately
wear the item, shouldn't that take lower priority?
I wear a suit jacket about half the time I fly. Not once have I ever thought of putting the jacket in the overhead, yet I see someone else do it nearly every time I fly.
What am I missing here? Is there a legitimate reason to do this, other than wrinkle prevention (which I refuse to accept) or is it pure oddity?
Are they serious with this thing?
