"Dear bison..." OR "Let me help you help me help you"

Dear Bison,

has this thread reached the end of its usefulness?

Have I?

What is the proper throttling technique for a loud snorer on a red-eye flight?

Or should I try to asphyxiate him with a pretzel piece?

Thanks,

Dear Shajen,

Maybe.

Dear D,

Ask the flight attendant if there's an open seat farther away or, if it's disturbing you and others, tap the snorer on the shoulder and say "I'm sorry to wake you, but you were snoring very loudly."

It feels rude, but it's sometimes necessary.

Plane was full, so no dice on the seat.

There was only an hour left, so I cranked up the headphones, but there should be a special circle of hell reserved for snorers on trans-oceanic and red-eye flights.
