From My Inbox To You

From time-to-deadline time I pull random press releases from my inbox and share them with you. Here is one I just received. Perhaps I should consider this a serious issue:

Dear Nancy,
I wanted to ask if you’ve covered socially disruptive snoring and how it can ruin traveling the vacation experience itself:
*The person next to you on the long haul flight
*The one in the tent next to you in the otherwise silent outdoors
*The person behind you in the theatre after you’ve just spent hundreds of dollars for a Broadway show
*The person you have to share a hotel room or yacht cabin with due to space/cost issues in group or pre-arranged travel
What can you do about it? What should a person who knows they fall into this category do prior to going out on a trip/experience? I can provide everyday people who were socially disruptive snorers who can share their stories and medical professionals who will offer advice on how best to handle the situation before and during whether you are the snorer or the one affected by the noise.

Is this a big problem? What does “traveling the vacationing experience” mean? Are Broadway shows that bad? Doesn’t everyone have an iPod? Or a big pillow and a massive rubber band? Jeez.

    This is so timely. I have been wondering about the thousands of people who each day are forced to share a yacht cabin with a socially disruptive snorer. It’s really a problem and, frankly, I’m shocked that none of the presidential candidates have addressed this significant issue yet.

    All because it was arranged by another person too! You should obviously bring this person into the story as well, since they obviously have it out for you.

    Yes, what can we do about this? Personally, I never travel without a set of earplugs. Seems to do the trick.

    I don’t think William’s mom should be allowed on commercial flights. She snores.

    Like, disruptively, like.
