How about the particular breed of rectal cavity who sits, Buddha-like, while wearing noise-cancelling headphones on extended trans-oceanic flights?
Hesitant to disturb this blissfully isolated individual, I patiently waited for him to politely disengage from his counter-phasing aural accoutrements.
NO SUCH EFFING LUCK.
Eyes shut tight, this socially inept maroon remained in his self-induced coma during the vast majority of AN ENTIRE TRANS-PACIFIC FLIGHT.
Upon debarking I suggested to him that, just perhaps, most civilized people might possibly be a tad reluctant to disturb his apparently restful state and that it might be SLIGHTLY POLITE upon his part to―every so often―indicate his return to the abhorrently mundane world of us unwashed plebes by OPENING HIS EYES and, otherwise, stirring his corporeal body in a way that made clear his nirvanic perigrinations were at an, albeit temporary, ostensible end.
It still remains difficult not to wish physical harm upon this heedless bastard who has probably induced more than one Deep Vein Thrombosis in an, otherwise, overly polite fellow passenger. Prong this fuckwit with his headphones and noise-cancelling device bundled together!
