I find a good book or movie makes the plane ride feel shorter. Talking to the person next to me so often ends up in an awkward situation when the conversation becomes tedious and boring, but it would be rude to just stop talking to them and move on to my book.
If I dont start talking to the person, I don’t have that problem.
- financypants 3y agoIn the context of chatting with strangers rather than someone you know, I’ve never felt it awkward for the conversation to trail off and both parties move on to something else.
- cortesoft 3y agoSure, but in my experience the person I am talking to wants to keep the conversation going longer than I do, and they won't let the conversation trail off.
- ang_cire 3y agoYes, but usually in those situations you can actually move on to something else. One a plane, you're forcibly stuck there. No, "Hey, it was nice talking to you, I'll see you around!" option.
