I find this particularly problematic on planes myself. If you're next to a "talker" for 8+ hours who doesn't get the hint, it can be really annoying. You can usually escape it by going to sleep (or pretending), but good luck trying to read a book or work on your computer without fielding questions about what you're doing...
On shorter trips I don't really mind, either we'll have an interesting conversation or not, then if it gets awkward I'll get off soon anyway.
- Cthulhu_ 13y agoI think it's okay to first be or painfully obvious, as in, "excuse me I'm trying to read / work here, can you please stop talking to me", and later to either become rude ("stfu!11one"), or mature and request to be reseated if possible. Because getting the hint is an art, and few have the empathy to catch hints about not wanting to talk (and/or it's assumed everyone loves to talk)
