Strange behaviour during travel

just read an article on the website of 7days, about how arabs behave on flights. it made interesting reading, but i must confess, such behaviour is prevelant in india as well.
i remember once when i was flying to kuwait, i saw a lady who was sitting with both her feet on the seat! i agree that it was practical though, keeping in mind the minimal foot room, two and a half inches to be precise.
same thing happens in trains and buses here.
sigh!
