Air travel is uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable to sit on the plane. It is uncomfortable to breathe airplane air. It is uncomfortable when you have to pee. So, try sitting beside an arguing couple for two hours. You may think, oh how fun - entertainment. But really, you don't want to listen in on the domestic crap of other people for two hours.
This couple who were about my age, was obviously having a fairly emotional discussion. I mean, the wife was crying. For the 20 minutes I couldn't wear my iPod, I heard stuff about, "moving", "no help", "me and the kids", and "when were you going to tell me" in addition to a whole lot of quiet sobbing. Torture I tell ya. It is like being forced to look at a train wreck. Forced to rubber neck! Rubber necking with your ears! It’s not like you can shut your ears!
That seat belt sign could NOT have been turned off fast enough. And then when it did, the volume on my iPod was not working. Holy mother of Xenu, I nearly had a conniption! Have you had to reset your iPod? If not, I suggest you learn. You may have an eaves-dropping crisis too!
Finally, the iPod reset, buds in ears, volume turned way up, my life as a non-descript, polite and MOB person was resumed. Thank you Audiobook. Thank you iPod.
