Are you serious? If I notice someone focused and scribbling equations onto a piece of paper, I leave them the fuck alone so they can concentrate.
Also, since when has practicing mathematics on a plane become a "strange and hostile" activity? Would she have reported him if he was focused on a Sudoku puzzle?

- burfog 11y agoSadly, he's right. Most people have never experienced a desire to do a bunch of math. They don't get it. They don't understand the need to concentrate or why one might voluntarily subject oneself to math. It's strange behavior. For some people it is also intellectually threatening; people don't react well to things that could make them feel stupid. She may also be used to having men nearly always willing to chat with her. The fact that he is unwilling is strange and possibly insulting. She is likely an extrovert, and expects it of others. Social interaction is expected. She expects others to enjoy what she herself enjoys; why would you not? Of course people want to chat!
