I got seated between two Swedish women on a flight and they immediately started chatting to each other and even passing their phones to each other *over me* to share pictures. It was EXTREMELY annoying to have surround sound conversation happening around me in a language I didn’t speak so I spoke up and said “*SORRY, but it’s actually quite distracting for you two to talk over me like this. Would one of you like to switch?”* 

And they both looked at me like I had two heads. The older woman said “*No, we booked our seats like this for a reason. It’s not like we are going to talk during the flight (how would I know that??) If you didn’t want this seat, you shouldn’t have chosen it.*” And I rolled my eyes back at her and told her I didn’t choose the seat but even if I did, most people had the courtesy to book seats together so they wouldn’t have to invade a strangers space which made her scrunch her uppity face with shock.

To be fair, they didn’t say a word to each other on the actual flight but after 15-20 minutes of consistent talking and exchanging things over me, how the heck would I have guessed that they only planned to be rude and invasive while the plane was on the ground?

Basic courtesy to keep your hole shut in confined public spaces, but if someone has to be reminded of this, they'll probably won't be able to comprehend.
