Worse than feet on bulkheads

[Daver6]

Front row of W in QF 1 to SIN yesterday and the older gentleman across from me listening to the AFL livestream without headphones all through boarding, safety talk and takeoff. Ended up asking his travelling partner who was next to me, if he had headphones. Some grumbles between them and he puts his headphones in when the livestream finally dropped out but continues to listen to his audio book on full blast. Couldn’t get his headphones to link to his phone and I could even hear his book through my NC headphones. Cabin crew oblivious to all of this. Was very glad when he decided to have a nap a few hours into the flight. Not sure if he was just rude and arrogant, or just unable to use his devices.

If he can't get his headphones to work, then the default should be no audio book, not annoying an entire cabin. I would have been quite firm on this.

Regardless of his ability to use devices (no excuses) just rude and arrogant DYKWIA
