I literally can't tell you.

I just put headphones on and space out. I hate to even bug someone if I have to get up to use the bathroom

But I've seen people look for reasons to start a fight with the person sitting next to them because they either want space, or have some sort of problem with them based on looks.

They must look forward to being on the “no fly list”

It takes a lot to land on the actual no fly list.

But you can get banned as a customer by an airline, and some airlines share their ban lists.

So act like an adult, and you’ll have no problems
