hahahahaha!! I was once on a Delta flight from ATL to LAG for 12 hours and I didn't pee through out the flight. There were unending queues in front of all the lavatories. I mean, ALL. As one person entered the loo, another person joined the waiting queue. I don't even know what they ate. I mean, they totally bombed the toilets. It was ridiculous.

lafflaff123: No habits by anybody annoys me in the plane and as my friend told me BUY FIRST CLASS if you can't stand the things you see in the economy class and until then,i will continue taking in the good,the bad and the ugly of the economy class.

And at POSTER i don't know how often you travel,but if you travel a lot like me then you should have out grown looking out for faults or habits in other's as people can not be like you,act like you or be like you want them to be.

Just want to add an experience i had sometime last year and it was sad.

As a veteran of ECONOMY CLASS i was coming from Nigeria via Delta to the US and on getting to my sit there was a young girl(later discovered she is yoruba)on my space,looked at the boarding pass and number to be sure and told her excuse me please that's my sit.

I always take a sit by the aisle because i am tall and so can stretch my legs,she had the middle sit and on the third sit there was a very old man and i said hi to him then sat down.

Just siiting down and noticed this girl was restless and kept closing her nose with her hands and chatting fervently on her blackberry,raised her head up and asked me if we can change sits and i told her no. She started looking around urgently for an air hostess,spotted one and asked her if they can move her and they told her the plane was full and all this happening while the plane had not even taxied yet.

So i am wondering what's up with this girl as her restlessness was starting to bother me,especially as she had that first timer traveller look(over dressed to impress or give the impression they are well to do to the immigration at the port of entry)and after a few minutes she stood up to use the rest room and left her BB by my arm rest but i did not notice it.

Later looked at what was poking me and it was her phone glowing with her BB Chat open. Did not mean to read but the first message there caught my attention and this girl had been busy bashing the old man and texting,chatting and telling everybody via her phone that they put a smelly old man close to her.

I did not smell anything so wondering what the girl was smelling. But above all as an African i have respect for old people and even in my private thoughts i dont disrespect them let alone what the girl was doing by holding up her nose and blatantly insulting the old man by letting the old man know she does not want to be close to him.

We all eventually become old and i hope when she gets old people will run away from her.

She tried to make small banters with me but i ignored her and later when we were filling up our landing card,this stupid girl brought out her passport to fill and it was a fresh Nigerian passport and her first Visa was the US one and the old man she was calling a smelly old man brought out his US Passport.

So i am thinking this stupid girl has this attitude and have never even left Nigeria before and how will she behave when she starts living outside Nigeria.

This might sound mean but i prayed she ran into problems at the port of entry with the immigration people,but since she followed the line at the immigration point for visa holders i did not know how it ended.

Why did i get angry and still angry?my parents are very old and travel at least once a year to visit me for medicals and stuff and just the thought that one supid girl will call my parents SMELLY OLD PEOPLE just because they are OLD makes me get mad. That man did not stink and his only offence was being OLD.



Oga, what is your point? You must really be good in scriptwriting 'cos I'm amazed the way you painted the character of the girl as very evil just because she didn't pretend all was well which you only discovered by pokenosing into her private business.
Clap for yourself, the defender of THE OLD!
And does her tribe have to be in uppercase before your moviescript wins a major award?
Ethnic bigots like you are not needed in the future Nigeria if you refuse to change.

I sincerely hope you've truly seen planes before let alone being on board...oh! Thanks to Hollywood movies, you should have seen one.

Nonsense!

12 hours ? How do you cope ?? I thought London to Lagos is bad enough.
This is why I hate eating on the plane and I'll end up feeling 'pressed' grin. The queues are too long, the toilets smell and I'm always afraid of one of the 'uncles' in the queue will start talking sweet nothings to me.

OP certainly boarded the wrong plane,I am sure you went for the cheapest available flight to Lagos,why complain then.
Even some flights to Abuja from Lagos are usually quiet everyone sitting comfortably on his/her seat without moving around,though its just a 45mins journey compare to 15hrs to NY but I still doubt if Nigerians behave so badly on board a plane.
