    I get it, but it’s an emergency for the passenger that has to sit next to a dead guy for the entire flight.

    I’d like to think I could get past it, and just bury myself in my phone, but I think it would still creep me out more than I’d like to admit.

        What about a morbidly dead obese? Does it cancel out? What if the cause of mortality was being morbidded by obesity?

      • Sitting next to a child is tame. I was forced to go to a family gathering and we went to a restaurant and one of the relatives on my table had a kid (like less than 10 years old) that was just fucking DROOLING OVER THE PLATE and the USE THEIR SALIAVA-FILLED-HANDS TO TOUCH THE FOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE 😱🤢🤮

        God damn use the clean chopsticks that’s on the plates, jesus christ.

        I knew to be using 公筷 (shared chopsticks) when I was 8 years old, especially when in public. And I never fucking DROOL over the plates…

        aaaaaah I wanted to scream there, but I didn’t wanna cause a scene, so I just didn’t say anything about that kid CONTAMINATING ALL THE FOOD.

        Pretty sure I got sick that night…

        (It was 2024 December btw, still remember how much my mom just forced me to go to stupid family gathering)

        Depends how old the corpse is. Might get kind of gross if the heads rotten enough to roll of their shoulders onto your lap.

        What if the dead turned zombie and started mumbling but otherwise ignored you? Imagine a polite chap, a British zombie, just quite old and mumbling to itself like … old people do.

        Would you prefer to continue the flight or be diverted and change seats?
