Yes, it happens quite a bit to me too. I'm retired now so I don't get it as much as before, but you reminded me of what should have been a very pleasant trip to Disney World one year when my daughter and I went ahead earlier. For some reason we got bumped up to First Class through some airline screwup, but our seats weren't together. Not a problem since I intended to read for the next 2 hours, and my daughter wasn't really the chatty cathy type anyway.
And I of course ended up sitting next to a guy who had to talk the entire 2 hours. About his personal life no less. I was reading before we took off, tried to just give him curt nods and really brief grunts as answers, but after 20 minutes of him not getting the hint, I finally just put my book away. If he interrupted me one more time I think I was going to punch him.
How about a nice pair of headphones so they think you're also listening to music and you can't hear them? Or at least pretend you can't hear them.
Oh, when we got to the hotel, another screwup happened, they didn't have any non-smoking rooms left, so we got a huge room upgrade for free too. It would have been a great trip... except for the plane ride.
