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.

Maybe Diapdealer was the person sitting next to Ripplinger on the plane
