Transcript:
Ahh! Headin' to Philly at 480 knots... Cruisin' altitude 37,000 feet... Yessir! th' city of brotherly love and... Oh... Ok... I get it. Earbuds. You're one of those types... Just a little signal to the world! Don't bother me... I don't like human interaction. Heaven forbid I find myself drawn into normal polite conversation! I wonder what fascinating thing you're listening to... Hopefully it's an audio self-help book on how to be less of an @#$@#$... come to think of it, what are you listening to?... It almost looks as if... Hey! What the?! Arrg @#$#%! Aha! Just as I suspected!... Your earbuds aren't even plugged in! It was all just a ruse to avoid talking to me! Ok. Fine. If you want to get technical about it, these aren't even earbuds... I forgot to bring earbuds. These are shoelaces I stuck in some raisins I found on my back seat tray table...

Are you getting the hint, Monty? Or does your seatmate have to call the cabin crew to put you in restraints (those plastic “handcuffs”) and gag you?

A shame Monty was raisin his voice this creative dude. In another reality, he could have called him bud.

“How to Be Less of a #!&#! For Dummies” – can’t say I’ve seen that one on the shelf, yet

I agree, Monty. It’s no use saying a friendly “hello” to a passer-by anymore. With those stupid earbuds, they either can’t hear you or choose to ignore you. Then there’s those Uhura-type ear phones that people use. I usually think the person is a homeless person talking to himself until I see the bluetooth phone jammed in their ear. But, hey. I’m an old fashioned romantic who tips his ball cap to ladies when they walk by. Earbuds or not. :p

Monty, you’re exhibit A as to why people wear those earbuds in the first place.

When I find leftover food on my tray-table I too stick it in my ear. Why does everyone act like this is strange?

A guy, who would stick raisins on shoelaces into his ears, has a lot in common with Monty.

Ewww! dirty, dusty raisins, probably used by the last passenger for just the same raisin. .

Sometimes people are not trying to be rude, they are just introverts. Talking to strangers makes them feel uncomfortable. With over 15% of the population feeling this way, it is hardly a disease.

Monty must be looking for a new way to fly @ 35,000 ft. Most cabin staff would have pepper-sprayed BOTH of them already but some would enjoy seeing Monty fly….
