Yeah, sometimes I'll just sleep but remember, you choose to commute so that interaction is inevitable. You also don't have a job without those passengers buying that seat.
Oh, I also enjoy talking it up with the Pax on the way home usually as well. It's always fun and enjoyable for me to talk about our industry and dismiss any false feelings about the aircraft and such.
I was just saying that sometimes after you've been on a long 4 day and your last day you've been up since 0330 and are finally catching a flight home at 2000, you just want to sit back and zone the world out and klonk out for the trip home.
