• What is with people who seem to be performing in public places? No, I'm not talking about legitimate performers. I'm talking about people who project on the phone so that everyone around them can hear about what they're going through. I'm talking about people clearly want to be seen and recognized at all times, even if they're in the wrong environment for that. 

  Where does this constant need for attention come from? Well, it's no surprise that in this instance, these people were influencers, comparing follower counts and trading stories that were probably not as glamorous as they sounded. 

  People like this tend to think that the world on their social media is the world at large. In other words, there is a kind of self-delusion in which people start to think they are the main characters of the entire world just because they have an online following. 

  There is a place for influencers. They can be informative. They can be creative. They can even use their platform well. I don't have anything against them, as someone who also produces material for the internet. But we need to remember that our perceptions of how things are based on what's online is not necessarily the truth, and basic levels of human decency and respect are still required, no matter who you are. 

  Here's hoping these passengers learned their lesson for the rest of their dry flight!
