Some of these are very humorous because of the cultural disconnect (as an American, I have never experienced somebody asking to put their seat back).

"An expert on a very niche subject" made me laugh out loud the hardest, because it's the one that's most "just a guy", and yet it's also exactly how it's described.

The airplane seat was the only one that needed no explanation for me. I could tell he was about to ask specifically to put his seat back.

More about the expression, but the glasses are pulling their weight here too. Modern masterpiece.
