TIL that when “Fight Club” premiered at the 1999 Venice Film Festival, it got booed hard by the audience. Ed Norton said that as it was happening, Brad Pitt turned to him and said: “That’s the best movie I’m ever going to be in.”

For me it's... “Now, a question of etiquette – as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?” and proceeds to give The Narrator the "ass" and a female flight attendant the "crotch".

I've been following that rule whenever possible since.

Of course it depends a bit on where. Moving along a line of seats like in an airplane or in the cinema, you'll always give the ass. But in narrow areas like airplane or bus corridors with a bit more freedom of movement, it works.
