Yes, you reminded me of

- Leave shoes ON, in case of having a quick getaway (and having to run through splintering metal and glass)
- Check nearest exit
- Watch stewardesses for signs of nervousness during turbulence

Am with you on the latter point
If they're not getting up and giving me tiny cans of diet coke within 10 minutes of take off, I start to panic.

^This^ too
I once was calmly reading a book as we landed (Ryan Air) and the plane hit the ground so hard I actually dropped my book, swore loudly and had to endure tutting and 'mother's look of disapproval' from other passengers.

So I don't read during takeoff and landing now either.
