Southwest boarding etiquette question Just sat down on a Southwest flight and had a new experience I’m curious about. When I was down at the bottom of the jetway about to step onto the plane a woman came up from behind asking what group we were in and then going in front of us. I had a C group and she was in the A group. I was like “sure go ahead”, but honestly it seemed pretty rude…

Airplane etiquette I just got off a plane where I upgraded to row 2 so I could exit easily. Some people in a higher zone boarded before the lower zones and put their carry on bags at the front. Maybe they thought that would be faster? About 12 of us had to disrupt the line of people trying to depart the plane in order to get our bags that were now in rows 6-9. Why…

Disappointed with work; question on etiquette? Hey all. I hired a photographer to take some product photos, and what I got back was absolutely abysmal. No editing, blurry photos, shadows, no touch up, prints and hairs on the product. The photographer came over and spent about 3.5 hours. I am not trying to screw the photographer over, but I feel like I was basically lied to, and the photos pr…

Airplane seat reclining etiquette Whats the etiquete or deal with reclining seats in a plane? Had someone tell me to put my seat up because it was reclined. They weren’t eating or even using the tray table. I basically told him to kick rocks because the chairs are made to recline and i wanted to be comfortable on a long flight. I get putting it up during dinner or lunch or break…

Etiquette Q Hey all— I have a really specific etiquette question: a friend gifted me two tickets to fly cross-country, using her travel miles. Mid-trip, I had a change of plans back at home and, with the heat wave enveloping the eastern US (and my A/Cs yet to be installed), I want to take advantage of that change and stay away an extra day or two while the …

What is the etiquette for photographing a memorial service? One of my friends sadly passed away last week and on top of helping plan the memorial service I was also asked to photograph the whole thing by the family. I was wondering how I should go about this. I’m a portrait photographer so events aren’t usually my thing. Besides being respectful and compassionate towards the family, what else should I kn…

Airport seat etiquette On a flight today and heard a heated argument in the row next to me. Turns out the person infront had fully reclined her seat, meaning the person behind had less leg room. They said they’re tall so dont have much as it is. Got quite seriously at one point as one accused the other of kicking the seat on purpose, and the cabin crew needed to step …

Airplane Movie/TV Etiquette? Hi all! I was just on a plane and they had the TVs on the back, so I was flipping through and decided to re-watch season 2 of The White Lotus. I know there are some more explicit sex scenes but I figured they’d be edited out. (I’m pretty sure I’ve been on flights before where they’ve done that.) Well, they didn’t. Lol. They showed a pretty expli…

Etiquette around photographing people in public? Hi all, I don’t know what’s usual and customary around street photography so I thought I’d ask here. This isn’t about legality- I know it’s legal- but rather about the etiquette of snapping photos deliberately of people on public property just going about their lives. A new friend of mine does it and as we were walking, a couple of times he snap…

LPT- Learn Phone Etiquette, Especially If You’re A Young Person I’ve worked in various customer service positions for 30 years answering and directing phone calls. I am AMAZED at the amount of people (and it’s getting worse year to year especially from young people) that don’t know how to use the phone. I mean, they know how to dial but they don’t know how to talk or what to say. A phone call that should las…

Deboarding plane etiquette Currently in the middle of a journey across the US and I noticed an unfortunate trend (this is at least the third time I’ve seen it). When it’s time to deboard, people in the back are getting up first and walking down the isle… Only because everyone else in front of them is sitting and waiting their turn. I try to block the isle by standing o…
