Brain fry is the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the word “fry”.
No, not the one you eat, the one that cooks in your brain when you have to tolerate somebody extraordinarily annoying.
I could write a book on this one, but then I will have to come up with volumes. Recently I had the worst traveling experience of my life. It wasn’t the flight it was the passengers.
First there was a lady in boarding lounge who wouldn’t stop shooting questions at me, although I had dug my face in a book.
Lady: Are you traveling alone??
Me: Yea
Lady: Why don’t we sit together then??
Me: Umm.. okay
Lady: Where are you going??
Me: Where this flight is going??
Lady: I mean to whom.
Me: To see my family.
Lady: Oh meeting family is so much fun.. ahaha..
Me: Umm.. it’s a funeral.
Lady: Whose??
Me: A family member’s.
Lady: See this is happening a lot these day.
Wait! what??? Death is happening a lot?? WHAT!!!
Mental note:- I SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT, WILL NOT SIT WITH THIS WOMAN!!
Somehow I managed to stay away, but my head’s temperature was already high enough to fry my brain.
In the flight some jerk was sitting next to me. Once in flight I normally wear my invisible horse blinders and mind my own business so I didn’t even see his face.
“Excuse me ma’am, do you need a pen to fill this form”, this wasn’t the voice of a steward it was of passenger next to me.
Me: No, thank you.
Khalil Gibran to the rescue, please save me!! I dug my face in the book again.
Jerk: Do you need water??
Me: No, thanks.
He would repeat anything the airhostess would say. Seriously? I heard that already. Why do you have to give your own version? Apparently looking busy reading a book wasn’t helping. Thanks to the window seat I fixed my gaze on the clouds, and wished I could break the window and jump.
Jerk: Ma’am I think we have to fill this form.
Please don’t add the seasoning!
I didn’t say anything. I could smell something burning. It’s ok! That’s from my head.
This continued for good half an hour. I was cursing myself for not sitting with that woman. She was better than him at least.
Jerk: Where are you going??
Seriously? 1….2….3….4….5…..6…..7…..8…..9….10…9….8…
Jerk: We are together for this 2 hour long journey. Why don’t we converse nicely?
WTF!!!! The last strand of my patience snapped!!!
Me: Look bro!! I m going for a funeral, please don’t talk to me. AT ALL!!!
Phew!! The remaining 1.5 hours went considerably peaceful. I saved my brain from going well done to burnt!
I am sure people could easily see smoke coming out of my ears, and smell perfectly cook, actually a bit over-done brainFry.

Put ear buds in. Doesn’t matter whether or not you are listening to anything. Excellent conversation deterrent. Try it. You’ll like it. Confidences on or loss.

Nope. Not enough. Earbuds mean more as far as interruption etiquette.
