What does a thick business passenger in the emergency seats do when told they must hand their briefcase over to be stowed with the preferential Business Class luggage?
Refuse time and time again - "What will happen to it, it's got my wallet in etc." I was in the seat behind and was wondering if he'd be thrown off, but eventually the German lady next to me admonished him loudly (not in so many words) "Just STFU and hand it over, it's only for an hour and we'll miss our slot if you keep go ing on like that."
I resisted the urge to quip "Isn't it more usual for a wife to sit next to her husband on a flight?" though I did have a good chat to her during the flight.
