I'm not saying the cranky woman's behavior was acceptable, but it may be possible that she was cranky because she was having a bad day - obviously she shouldn't take it out on everyone else, but maybe she hated air travel or was on her way to a funeral or worried about a sick relative or something else was setting her off, and she didn't know how to cope with it in an appropriate manner. Maybe you actually helped her by giving her something to complain about, a distraction from her real problems...?
The last time I was on a plane was almost 25 years ago, and I'll be perfectly happy to never fly again (I'm not a good flyer - I'm the white-knuckled, pale passenger, with tightly closed eyes and an airsick bag clenched on one fist... the one no sane person wants to sit next to!). Though I probably would have simply retreated into a book if there was too much noise - or more likely, knowing me, I might have listened in on your sister's class and learned something. 😂
I wasn't that loud! And thanks for the wine xo
It’s true, you weren’t!

I like that! I gave her something to be mad at - she needed that distraction :) Good one!
