Selfish Endangerment
Yesterday, I willingly endangered the lives of my fellow passengers on the Airbus 320, which brought me back to San Francisco from my Christmas holiday travels.
I admit it was a selfish act, and yet, I am not ashamed. The reason for which I played with the fate of my planemates was entirely self-serving. And still, I spent less than a total of 3 seconds reconsidering my actions before pressing on.
Not only did I not re-stow my baggage under the seat in front of me before landing, but I left my electronic device on and continued to use it with abandon. As we touched down safely at San Francisco International Airport, I finished the game of solitaire that I had been playing on my iPod. And, I won for the first time ever.
That's hardly a negative consequence to keep me from breaking the rules, willy-nilly, in the future.

Hah, I too, flew home yesterday. While I was not as bold as you were, it was mainly because I had two interesting aisle-mates to talk with. I always wondered why we could not use portable devices. Supposedly it messes with some radar or something, but I've yet to see anything horrible happen from using them. :-P
