Last night I boarded the plane after a long day with clients. I started to settle into the aisle seat when the man behind me said, “Don’t sit down.”
I stood back up, dropped my iPad in my seat and let him slide by me. “Do you want me to stow that for you?” I asked, pointing to his computer bag.
“No.” But then he sighed and handed it to me. “Go ahead. The battery’s dead.”
“Ah,” I said and placed it in the overhead. It was heavy. Then I picked up my iPad from my seat and sat next to him. I flipped open the case and touched the Home button. 71% remained on the battery. I noticed him looking at the screen. “I’ve been using it all day,” I told him.
“Hmm. Can you do email on that?”
“Sure. Pretty much everything I need. I don’t even carry a laptop anymore. Just a Bluetooth keyboard when I need to write a lot, but I don’t even use that much.”
He frowned and draped himself with his jacket and leaned against the bulkhead, then said, closing his eyes, “I had a full charge when I sat down in the terminal.”
“Yeah. Too bad,” I told him.
