I have decided the airlines need a new seating policy. When you buy your ticket, you get to choose a section. Not smoking or non-smoking, no nothing like that.

Sections like “Chatty” and “Non-Chatty.” “Sick” and “Healthy.” “Baby” or “No Baby.” “Has a dog who will poop halfway through flight” and “Dogless.”

Mostly Chatty vs. Non-Chatty. Because I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t care who you are, I don’t want to talk to you. This is why I brought my book. And even if my flight is delayed 2 1/2 hours, and I have to spend most of that sitting on the tarmac waiting for liftoff approval, and even if I share a few friendly words with you before turning to my book, this does NOT mean that you can interrupt my reading every ten minutes. Seriously, you give these chatty people an in and they just won’t shut up.

Yes, I am a curmudgeon. What of it?
