So a little while ago, I was flying on DELTA from NYC to LA.
As I was settling in for my 5 hour flight [that turned into a 10 hour trip, which is a story for another day] I reached for the headphones so I could enjoy my new luxury of watching a movie uninterrupted.
So imagine my surprise when I found this …
Maybe it’s just me, but I find the most unhygienic thing about airline headphones is the fact they’ve been on other people’s ears so for the life of me, I don’t understand why Delta put plastic around the cord.
And before you say ‘it’s to keep the wire together’, that’s not true because when you ripped off the little blue bag, the wire was held together with one of those plastic tags.
Which begs the question, why the hell did they cover up the one thing that doesn’t need covering up.
Or said another way, why the hell do Delta think their passengers are more concerned about the hygiene of the headphone socket than their ears?
Lee … any ideas or is this one of those ‘no comment’ moments?
