Oh, I know. And they get outraged if there isn't room in the overhead locker for all their shīt. I would happily see them dragged violently off the plane.

They never leave them alone either, constantly up and fiddling with them all flight which usually means getting a hairy, sweaty beer gut in your face at regular intervals.

Anyone with a keen eye for the british imperial footprint must visit Singapore. One hasn't grappled with its significance until one has enjoyed a beer on the verandah of the cricket club as sunset creeps across the Padang. Bliss.

Of course the true glory of the British imperial footprint lies in the humble yet comfortable inns left behind. The Oriental, The Mandarin, Raffles, The E&O, all these are testament to the greatness and largesse of the Empire.

Oh, people who can't leave their overhead luggage alone need shooting. When I get to my seat, I ensure I have everything I need for the flight with me and easily to hand. If at any point, I have to open my overhead luggage, I would consider it an admission of failure.

Yes. Since everyone now agrees that the Chinee doctor deserved a savage beating, i can't see any reason to continue.
