A few days ago I was on a 2.5 hour flight back to London. I, like any sane person, had ensured that I had something to occupy myself during this time (a book of essays in this particular example).

The guy sat next to me on the other hand, had nothing to do whatsoever, and was so clearly outwardly bored (sighing, stretching, just being generally restless) that it started to put me on edge. Every so often he'd pull out his phone and look at the time, sigh, and mutter something under his breath like ``two hours 10 minutes to go``. I ended up wanting to ask him if he didn't have some games or something on his phone, a diverting game of solitaire or sudoku at the least.

What kind of nonce sits in a small confined space with nothing to do for close to 3 hours?

Also, tell me some stories about dorm/hostel experiences, those are always good.
