That's why I ALWAYS bring and wear earplugs when i'm commuting home after working ... if you get the unfortunate privilege of sitting next to a chatty pax, just pull out those ear plugs and close your eyes. If they're not a complete idiot they'll get the point and leave you alone

It may be rude, but after a long few days I sometimes just need some sleep on the way home
