Is that your ticket in my hand or are you happy to see me?
Nicole spent her Super Bowl weekend in Florida with her family and thought she got stuck next to a cute guy on her flight. She tweeted:
“Hottest guy ever spotting on plane…and he’s sitting next to me! OMG”
“….Ooooo la la and he habla espanol! Swoon!”
Then, the other shoe fell on the floor and Nicole then tweeted:
“He’s a loud talker…totally just ruined for me.”
Nicole claims that she seems to be the target or people’s conversations whenever she is on a plane. In this instance she was using the “headphone method” and this dude waited for the split second she took one ear bud out to chat her up. He then proceeded to not shut up. What methods do you use to avoid talking to people on an airplane? What should Nicole have done when this guy started to talk her ear off?

My husband travels for work & has the same issue. Usually he makes sure he has his ipod on and usually if someone trys talking to him he will point to his ears so they will get the point that hes listening to music — and doesnt want to talk!!!!
I just got to thinking…how chatty must this person be if NICOLE thinks they’re too talkative?! haha
nicole, you could either listen to music and point to your headphones untill he gets the point, or you could say to him that you have a sour throught and it hurts to talk.
I put my headphones in the whole trip. Even if I am not listening to music.
THIS WORKS! I know, because its genuine for me- but you could totally fake this and get away with it!
ACT LIKE YOU HAVE A FEAR OF FLYING. (I DO, so here is what i do)-
Tell people I am afraid and have to look out the window and distract myself with music. Talking to people and looking away from the window makes me worry about turbulence. PEOPLE NEVER talk to me
Probably because they think i’m psycho, but hey! It works!
Nicole you should say “hey my favorite song is on I can’t miss it! Choa”. and WAA LAA
Just let out a couple little farts and he will leave you alone
Why couldn’t you just be honest (and polite) and just say, “Hey, not being rude, but I don’t want to talk right now. Sorry”
Cough a couple times & “forget” to cover your mouth once or twice. If that doesn’t work cough again & mumble loud enough for him to hear “Man, I wish the doctors could figure out what this is.” If that still doesn’t end the talking start scratching then while saying ” Oh no, now the rash is starting back up!”
Before I had kids I use to ask for a pillow and shut my eyes. People usually get the hit and it you’re lucky you can get some rest. But now with a child, people avoid me like the plague! Oh and if you pray on a semi-empty flight that no one will sit next to you so you can stretch out, have kids cuz babies and toddlers are plane passenger kryptonite. Of course, in that case you really don’t get much rest at all. ;0
when they start to talk to you look at them and make a facial expression like their breath stinks.. that should shut them up!!
