On that rawdogging flights thing I don’t believe ‘men doing absolutely nothing on flights’ is an actual new trend but I believe there are people who do this because I used to ride the D.C. metro.

So my takeaway from the piece is that there are people who are just letting their limited time on earth (and above the earth) just slip away.
