The best thing for me is white noise... turn any fans on full. I really need to get one of those white noise sleep machines.

As for kids screwing around in the hallway... I've lost all patience with that crap. I'll stick my scary old-man face out into the hall and tell them to keep it down. And if that doesn't work, calling the front desk usually does.

Bose QC15 and leave the shower on. Any noise i can't get rid of I am an FFDO...

You leave the shower on all night while wearing noise canceling headphones? At least you're in the right thread.

So wasting 1000 gallons of water and $500 head phones are the only way you can sleep?

You got 99 first world problems but sleep ain't one.

Not intending to hijack thread here but will DAL let us use our QC15's with the U-fly mike on the job? I heard that they might not be allowed.

No offense guys, but I think ClarenceOver just made a "Tool" out of you three?

Notice how in his post, he also stated, "any noise I can't get rid of, I'm an FFDO…..?"

Funny you three fell for it though! <emoticon limit exceeded>

Well, in light of what that retired cop did in Tampa there's no telling what anyone is willing or capable of doing. The dude was just texting during the previews. Pretty tame compared to jackalopes cruising the hallways.

If it's not TSOd, you can't use it at Delta.

All we know is that there was some kind of conflict that escalated to violence that illegedly began with someone texting. There are a zillion ways that could have played out, but the media wants you to zoom in on only one possibility because that best suits their agenda. That it was a retired cop is supreme irony, because the gun grabbers the mainstream press carry the water for in the first place always carve out exemptions for retired cops in their proposed legislative "final solutions".
