Was served lunch sometime during a flight. While eating, noticed that the women next to me is slowing down in her movements, slower cutting, slower chewing, etc.
Suddenly she stops completely in her movements, fork and knife in hands, half cut food on her plate, face bowed forward above her plate and nothing else.
Touched her on the shoulder, pushed a little bit, asked her if everything was okay, no reaction. Couldnt really tell if she was still alive. Was it the air conditioning or her breath? No idea.
Didnt want to panic and frighten everyone else. You know. Dead person. Made eye contact with a stewardess, point towards next to me. Couple minutes later, five stewardesses including co pilot form a barrier around our seats and like in a movie tried to get a reaction aka “dont you die on me”…
Woman wakes up, looks up and says just this one sentence: “I took really strong sleeping pills.” AND GOES BACK TO SLEEP IN THE SAME TYRANNOSAURUS POSTURE! As if this has happenend before, and she had anticipated this conversation, as if she knew that her mind would be only be awaken long enough for one sentence!
So for the entire remaining 6-7 hour flight, there is this lady next to me, mimicking a tyrannosaurus, her hands still grabbing the now removed fork and knife, drooling on the table. And everyone passing by giving me this questioning look.
Best flight ever.
