I remember flying when they still served good meals on airlines - and when I was still very naive'.
Due to a heavy meal just before takeoff, I couldn't eat everything and - being Scots Irish and therefore somewhat frugal - I thought "I paid for it, I might as well save it for later!" I thought about wrapping the un-eaten portion in a newspaper, but then I noticed the neat little bag on the back of the seat in front of me !! "Eureka! I'll just put it in the little bag!"
It worked quite well, but when I exited the plane upon landing - with my tightly sealed bag in hand - the Stewardess, gesturing towards the bag, said "Oh, here. I'll take that for you, Sir!" And I received a look of pure disgust when I (naively!) replied "That's alright - it was supper - I'll finish eating it later."
(It was only after I told someone about it later, that I finally learned the intended purpose of the bag!)
