What Would You Do If ...

... you found yourself in the window seat on a long flight and the person next to you in the middle seat busted this out?

If you've ever seen someone use this device on a plane, please let me know in the comments below!

Thankfully, this has never happened to me, but two things occurred yesterday that made me think about this: 1) Mr. Cush's comment on my blog, and 2) I tried to figure out how I'd take a nap at my desk if I ever became that desperate.

Mr. Cush commented that numerous things "grind my gears," and while that may be true, I think the scenario I outlined above would top all previous grindings I've experienced in my lifetime. 

Secondly, when I do sleep on planes I tend to rest my forehead on the seat in front of me, but I could never pull that off at my desk. It dawned on me that this would be the perfect desk napping apparatus.

But, back to how annoying this would be on a plane ...

What if you were on a long flight, trapped in the window seat and in need of a bathroom break but this clown was seated next to you? Can you imagine how chaotic it would be to first wake up the user, and then next have to maneuver past said user and this device? 

And then, how is this inflated? Does it come with an air pump? Or does the owner have to blow it up themselves?! I sat next to a woman once that blew up her own neck pillow and I found that pretty darn annoying. I can't imagine having to suffer through my seat mate puffing this bad boy up.

So this all leads up to a few questions. 1) How does this company make a profit? I fly quite a bit and I have NEVER seen anyone use a SkyRest. 2) What kind of person would actually purchase a SkyRest?

If you have an answer for either of those questions, or if you've ever seen someone use a SkyRest in flight, let me know in the comments below. Or, let me know the strangest thing that's ever happened to you while 30,000 feet above the surface of the earth.

Happy Hump Day!
