Stop talking to strangers and they'll stop talking back to you. I'm the poster child for anti-social so I never have to wish for plane crashes.

Cute young couple, he spoke English and she didn't. They showed the (awful) movie Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, ostensibly a comedy, and he translated the whole thing for her as it ran. She was always laughing uproariously, a few beats behind. Add to it the fact that they packed their own snack--a BIG can of sardines and some crackers, and yeah, I wanted to rip my eyeballs out. Then it just got funny and I decided it would be a good story someday.
