He was charging 2 phones, an I-Pad, a laptop and an electric shaver. Now not every chair has power outlets so I politely asked him to disconnect one....he refused saying, "no, sorry but I need to charge all my devices for my flight".
You should have said, "Oh, you should fly business class next time, they have power points on board, assuming it's long haul, which you must be on, to need so many gadgets to keep busy. My sincere commiseration for economy class travel"

He might have disconnected everything, pretending to be in J, if he's a real DYKWIA...

What I'd have done would have been to whip out a double adaptor and ask him if it's OK if I used my double adaptor and shared one of the power points that way (I'm a sad sod who travels with a double adaptor).
