On my flight to Texas I swear I sat next to Mr. Bean’s long lost soul mate.  This woman mumbled like him…made faces like him…and when she got her jacket out of the overhead bin, gum balls and coins went flying in every direction…just like a scene out of the Mr. Bean show. 

I was dying to text a friend about the situation while the plane was taxing, but I could not since Mrs. Bean was seated next to me.  

For situations like these I found a handy little gadget, the 3M Mobile Privacy Film, a tinted thin plastic sticker that can be cut to fit any mobile phone screen.  Once on, you can only see the screen when you are directly facing it.  From the side all you see is black, which gives you privacy even when you are crammed next to someone in coach.  Available for $11.99 at CDW.com
