The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

More and more people are once again booking flights to exciting places around the world.

But as they take their seats, many travelers will remember that spending time with other passengers is not always easy.

Travel website Only Wanderlust surveyed over 1,500 travelers about the most annoying passengers on a plane.

Nine percent of travelers agreed that people who kick your seat are the most annoying passengers. Here are the top 10 on the list.

A passenger who kicks your seat.
A passenger who doesn't smell too nice.
A passenger who talks loudly.
A passenger who pulls on — or pushes against — your seat.
A drunk passenger.
Crying babies or children.
A passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
A passenger wearing strong smelling perfume.
A passenger who doesn't wear their mask correctly.
A passenger who snores when sleeping.
Number seven on the list is a topic that is often discussed.

In the survey, Only Wanderlust asked if passengers have a right to recline their seats, and almost two out of three travelers said that they did.

The website also asked some airline companies about the right to recline. None of the airlines said they had a policy on this topic. But they recommended talking to the passenger in front or behind, or if there is an argument, asking a member of staff for help.

As for crying babies: they can't really help it. But as we get older, perhaps we can all try to think about the people around us when we're on a plane.
