This is about the most heartless thing I've come across here or about anywhere on a place that considers itself a semi-serious place for information.

I had the misfortune several years ago to sit in LH steerage returning to the U.S. He was shaking, covered in 3-4 blankets, gaunt, thin, and yellow. He had several pill bottles and was taking one every hour - every time, he asked for water and more often than not, his shakes spilled the water all over himself to the point he couldn't keep asking for some. I ended up giving him my bottle. I later found out some of his meds were to treat end-stage cirrhosis and liver failure.

So I guess, you have no idea what went into this fellow's though process, other than he had he get to where he was going for some reason. For you to think he was oblivious is shocking to me and as someone else said, in need of help, not scorn.
