Poll of the Day > I love ridiculous hypothetical situations people come up with

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was reading something about a guy on a flight with the window seat and the window opened. the middle seat person reached over to close it. This isn't so much about that as one particular person's hypothetical. It was about needing the window open to prevent airsickness or whatever. They said that if the person wants the window closed, they can watch as I throw up next to them and then make them hold the bags with my puke in it for the entire flight.

I get people don't actually think these hypotheticals through especially when they get outraged over a strangers post on the internet, but that isn't at all how it's going to work.

Flight attendant will be called to deal with your biohazard. Why on Earth would I be the one holding it? Either you hold it yourself and make everybody on the plane gag like fuck, or you(or I) get the attendant to deal with it. Under no situation would I be the one holding your puke bags.

Yes, I am taking this comment far too seriously but to me it is funny when people talk about what they'd do in a situation when it literally wouldn't happen that way just due to logic.

I feel like you missed the entire point of the social interaction in question.

The point of the parent post seemed to be it is infuriating when people think they can just invade your space without asking, it's a dick move to close the window without asking, and if you want the window seat, pay for it or select it when you pick your seats. I agree, people shouldn't reach over you to close the window. Ask nicely and if the answer is no, so be it.

But the hypotheticals with how to deal with the asshole who thinks they can just close the window, to me, are quite funny.

Last time I was on a flight the person with the window seat kept it closed the whole time so I didn't get to see any pretty scenery :(

When I fly and have the window seat I generally keep it closed in the day time but I open it up a few times to see the scenery. Or i'll crack it open some but not all the way. One time I asked the person next to me if they wanted it open or closed because I didn't care either way. I've flown enough to where seeing the Earth from the sky isn't terribly exciting anymore. meh.

How did you guys not get sucked out the plane like Goldfinger?

I like keeping the window open. And I usually have the window seat I like looking outside. And theres specific time of day when its looks beautiful above the clouds. Like the clouds that are thick enough they they almost look solid enough to stand on. And when the sky is that pretty orange color But with a few other colors mixed in. Its one of my favorite sights
