that would drive me bonkers! thank gawd when i fly usually i'm the one doing the flying! but like wolf said...better than someone puking everywhere. or someone your trying to show the joys of flying and they start puking everywhere....makes it kind of hard to land while dry heaving!

or your travel mate could've had really bad gas!

There's always the old, polite, "Excuse me, I realize how cramped it is up here in first class and nearly impossible to get comfy, but when you've got your arm up in the air (like ya just don't care) I can't see the inflight movie."

Then garrotte him with your shoelace.

super glue on the top of the seat. just a nice thick line run from one end to the other so the next time he grabbed the top would be the last time.

I think you should have reached out and gently stroked the back of his hand, and then winked at him when he turned around in horror.

that or hold an open jar of vaseline up for him to dip in.

Maybe he was bracing for impact.

In my experience, a punch to the back of the seat while muttering "Spazz!" gets these people under control.

Well this freaked me right the fuck out. From then on I started to worry every time I put my arm up - is it gonna just stay there, because I'm mentally ill, and that's it for life, now?

Which is stupid, because that's much better than, say, being blind or deaf or something, just having your one arm up all the time. But it's the embarrassment, you know? If you're blind, people don't want your story, they just want to pet your dog.

Sure he wasn't a member of the Hitler-Jugend, and was using a mental illness as a means of evading attention, as he continually saluted his Führer, who visited him in spiritual form?
