I noticed how grown up human beings also act like kids. You know how at the time of take off and landing, they ask you to get your seat back up in the upright position and fasten your seat belts?

We took 4 flights total this past weekend - San Jose to Dallas, Dallas to New Orleans and then New Orleans to Chicago, and Chicago to San Jose. All four flights I noticed that the stewardess had to come through and tell at least a few people every few seats to fasten the seat belts and/or take the seat back up.

Why can’t we listen to the announcement that is made? I understand that we typically ignore those announcements, but if you notice someone else making their seats straight, why can’t you make your seat straight too? Do you need to be told personally?

It was amazing to watch that phenomenon repeat itself multiple times :-)
