Please Keep Your Externalities to Yourself

On the flight today, I had my ear plugs in, the sound canceling earphones on, music playing relatively loudly, and I could still hear the guy sitting two rows behind me talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. And talking. Inanely, boringly, and loudly. Very loudly. I really didn't think he could keep it up for the full 12 hours of the flight, but he proved me wrong. I almost lost it at one point.

Door to door, including the three hour flight delay in SF, was around 19 hours. But I guess it beats walking.
