This is why a benevolent FSM invented the iPod. You don’t even have to have it on, just pop the buds in your ear and look a bit vague. If you really want to ensure your seatmate doesn’t talk to you, occasionally hum/sing some borderline (”borderline” kids, you’re on an airplane and the airlines are very anal about dealing with perceived and imaginary threats) lyric under your breath.

Also, not showering for three days before the flight seems to shut people up. ;-)

Do you mean sing some “borderline” lyrics, or do you mean sing some Borderline lyrics? Either one would probably achieve the same goal.

I’ve never had issues on a plane, but the bus is another story. I attract drunk smelly people on the bus. If one gets on, without fail they sit next to me.

This is the key reason I gave up the bus in lieu of walking.

I hate the smell of drunk.
