"People are talking, but they are not talking to me"

It was a solid 20 minutes of me sitting on flight 1073 waiting for the transistor thingy (?) to be repaired.

And in the process, I come to find that some people are just not comfortable being the only ones to hear their thoughts. As if they were taught by a bad soap opera to voice their thoughts and somehow made to believe that it was perfectly okay.

Well, no. It's just not okay. Actors voicing out their thoughts on camera is called a low budget production. The Producers didn't have the money to hire an actor and pay for additional hours at the audio studio to record the voice over.

In most cases, I find that the voice-over is usually stating the obvious. For example the young woman sitting next to me raises her ear plugs to her ears and in almost a mumble says "I'll just listen to some music". Then there's the guy standing in line behind me as we were about to board the plane that announced that the family of six had arrived to stand in line. "The kids have arrived". Now this guy must have received his voice-over training having clocked hundreds of hours of watching ESPN and as a result acts out the play-by-play sports reporters.

But neither case beats out those funny movie theater audience members that speak to the moving pictures letting them know that he's in the closet. That just takes the prize and they are just a whole other animal onto themselves.
