Airplane Etiquette... for the Midwest

Dear Diary,

During some recent travels I witnessed something very strange. I have traveled quite a bit and seem some strange things. But this made me snort out loud...that says a lot. As a general rule, when people need to get up while aboard an airplane and they are in the window seat, the rest of their aisle gets up so they can get out. Generally when this happens, the window seat person will side step out of the row. However, in the Midwest this is not the case. Said window seat person needed out of his row. The two other people got out of their seats and moved out of his way. Window Seat then stepped onto the newly emptied seats and walked across them to get out. Not only was this bizarre but it was not graceful in the slightest. I thought this rather odd but was fully enthralled in my book so I figured he might have tripped or something. However when he returned to his row and his fellow travelers got out of their seats for him he did the same thing! This time, even more awkwardly (if this is possible), he staggered over the seats crashing into the row in front of him and barely clearing the overhead compartments. At this point I was staring and laughing so loudly that I could hear myself over my sound reduction headphones. Then the snorting began. It was the sort of scene from a movie you would rewind and watch over and over again it was so funny.

I can only hope the people in his row were not traveling with him. Or sense enough not to go in public with him again after this trip!
