March 22, 2007A Peaceful Trip Home
Okay, we are all back from our Spring Break, vacations, retreats, etc. etc. I have a point of information to share with your readers.
We (three ladies) were sitting in front of a Boy Scout troop on our way back from Florida. They were an active rambunctious crew, the problem was that they were very loud, pushing our seats to the point of distraction, and clearly making a nuisance of themselves. I was very tired from my week long trip (I got away to relax) so the last day, and crowded flight wasn’t helping.
I asked them once to refrain from pushing our seats that we were in nap mode to DFW.
Well, 2 hours into the flight, I just couldn’t take it anymore, I excused myself to go to the restroom scoping out the “trip leaders” positions on the plane, and thinking what I was going to tell the young men.
On my way back I leaned down in their seat assignments, and very firmly said,
- I had indicated earlier the desire not to have my seat bumped around, and you gentlemen have not respected that. If I knew where to talk to your troop leader, I certainly would.
I told them they should show respect for the confinements of a plane, and act accordingly. Okay, whoever gets in plane with this troop the next time, should have a pleasant trip. The rest of the trip was just fine. Power Phrases do work, even to the point of exasperation.
