Default I smacked a dude in the face...

.... on the airplane with this bag fully loaded with all my gear and a tripod attached to it. (roughly 40lbs or so)

Had to sit next to him for the entire flight. AWKWARD!




Best part... at the end of the flight he says to me, "Wow, that was one of the best flights I've had in a while"

Awesome.

Glad you could smack a stranger and gain an aquaintance. I'm just curious what happend during the flight to make the person make that statement.

Could it be all that "Minnesota Nice"?

Eeep! Susan beat me to it but...

Better be smacked in the face with a bag full of gears and get "happy ending" than reading that nose-bleeding thread.

I assuming from his statement at the end that you are a small person physically (ie don't spill into his seat) and you slept the whole time. Otherwise, i don't buy it.

All's well that ends well. Glad it all worked out. Could have been a horrible flight with such an awkward beginning.
