I remeber once i went on a plane with my parents too spain.

i was 19 at the time and too be honest i felt in a funny mood all morning at the airport cause i got no sleep the night before. on the plane i was walking too my seat with my parents and this little old guy was kinda blocking my way. I tried too be as polite as possible but the old guy said "Well come on move" or something along those lines. when i saw the old guy i was kinda standing still becuase i did not know if he wanted too move or not.

do you think when it comes too flights that people can get very anxious about threatning or suspicious behaviour? Did he see my weird gait and possibly angry facial expression as threatening too the safety off rest off the crew?

Either that or most people are as*holes :P

I think that it's most likely he wanted to get past you and you were standing there waiting for him to get out of your way.. but in order for him to get out of your way, you needed to get out of his so that he could proceed forward. eg Turn sideways or kind of shuffle into one of the aisles a bit which gets in the way of someone elses leg room is normal behavior in planes since it is the only way to allow two-directional traffic.

People can become very stressed in situations when they're put in close proximity to a large number of people for an extended period of time, especially when they have a sense of urgency. The sometimes mind-crushing procedures and services at airports can make this even worse. All that doesn't even take into account any personal issues that might add to their stress.

I wouldn't think too much of it.

Dear Jamesy, I believe he was just a cranky little old guy who loathed all teen-agers in general, and he may have forgotten to take his laxative that morning.....Sylkat

I've seen both good and bad people on planes, I wouldn't worry much about it, like Lecks said. And I doubt you'll ever see his cranky old butt again. :)
