- OneRottenTomato, on 10/29/2009, -0/+51Forgot "Window Seat Dude Who Always Needs Access To His Over Sized Carry On In The Overhead".
- eastwood24, on 10/28/2009, -0/+41I would like to add sitting next to the couple that is currently having a fight. Wouldn't of been that bad if my iPod hadn't died, but instead I was forced to listen to two geniunely stupid people argue in whispers for a good chunk of the flight.
- lead2thehead, on 10/29/2009, -0/+36Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen...ahhhhhhh...this is your captian....aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh....we're looking at about a 4 1/2 hour flight time today...aaaaaaaaaahhhhh....and we've good good visibility...aaaaaahhhhhh...the temperature in Atlanta is 61 degrees...
- throwdini, on 10/29/2009, -3/+37We have a baby. Do you know what we do when we fly? We don't bring the baby. Instead, we fly a grandmother up to Chicago to watch her while we are gone. When we have to bring her, we drive. I wish everyone would do the same.
- RealmDown, on 10/29/2009, -0/+32Turn around to the person behind you, and hand them a one dollar bill, exclaiming loudly "You win, they *did* go on for more than 25 minutes."
It only costs a dollar, the dollar recipient will probably play along, and instant silence for the remainder of the flight should ensue. - DrDragun, on 10/29/2009, -0/+28Gotta resurrect a classic, semi-related
http://lauriekendrick.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/ ... - Awwzm, on 10/28/2009, -0/+26Once, I had a flight from LV with ALL of these people (except for the prisoner)! It was the worst way to end a vacation.
- Platinumstein, on 10/29/2009, -1/+21I seem to always get stuck to the extroverted Christians that love talking about Jesus.
- DirtyVicar, on 10/29/2009, -1/+20...ahhhhhhh...we've just been informed of a ground hold...ahhhhhhh...45 minutes or so, we'll park over here on this taxiway and we'll be shutting the engines off...ahhhhhhh...let you know if we hear anything further.
- Equinamin, on 10/29/2009, -0/+18what about the "drunken' seat mate. Bag...stat....been there not a pretty site.
- DoodleMaster, on 10/29/2009, -1/+18I like it when the pilot calls out landmarks...the writer for this article is way to pessimistic...
- Snap65, on 10/29/2009, -7/+23Control your damn kids. Sedate them. I don't care. My ticket didn't include a f**cking baby crying the whole flight.
- inphiniti, on 10/29/2009, -0/+13I always overhear someone smugly explaining (or arguing about) some form of technology using completely false facts to a friend or sibling. It seems a little specific, but that person never fails to sit within two rows of me.
- cruzlee, on 10/29/2009, -0/+12You know how some children, when they get bored, they go into this power play? The one in which they switch back and forth between a sadistic little smile for half a second and then go scream again for 30 seconds? These kids have parents who have grown absolutely immune to the sound of their child. They are what this complaint is about. Not the kid who cries for 15 minutes.
- snowrail, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1211. The kid that kicks you non-stop, and you have to choose between putting up with getting kicked for six hours, or yelling at a little kid because their parents ignore it.
- allisonaxe, on 10/29/2009, -0/+12and have you noticed how they always have the same voice? why do they all sound the same?!
- ugacrew, on 10/29/2009, -0/+12How about the chatty seatmate that doesn't get a the clue that you don't want to talk to them. You'd think wearing earphones and sitting with your eyes closed is enough. Apparently it wasn't with the lady I sat next to.
- pappy97, on 10/29/2009, -4/+14Problem there is that flying is a privilege, not a right. Many of us would have no problem with airlines banning infants on flights over a certain length, say two hours. Just like how infants should be banned from movie theaters.
- Snap65, on 10/29/2009, -0/+9Gotta admit those airplane seats are small as hell. I'm 6'3 and my knees hit the seat in front of me. The worst part is when the person in front me thinks that their seat is a lay-z-boy.
- WiretapStudios, on 10/29/2009, -0/+9I was on a plane getting ready to take off, when police swarmed up the aisles, ran to the back and dragged a guy off in cuffs. It could have been for something minor, but still it was a strange start to a flight.
- mogdor, on 10/29/2009, -1/+10Worse than bitchy flight attendant is the bitchy gay flight attendant.
Don't ask me why, but in my experience the gay ones seem to be bitchier. - SweetDaddyD, on 10/29/2009, -2/+10A fattie. Every time. I usually get one so big they take half of my seat too, and they can't put the armrest down as a divider so I'm sitting there with them sweating on me. It's quite amazing more people don't go ballistic on planes. I always get the crying baby too. Every time. EVERY time.
- joculator, on 10/29/2009, -1/+9How about the apathetic mother who lets her kids "play" all over the seats around them. And the person who brought food with them that smells horrid as they consume it while sitting next to you.
Jet Blue = Crying Baby Airlines - lead2thehead, on 10/29/2009, -1/+9You call that a fat guy? I've had to sit next to people ten times fatter than that guy. And the also double as the smelly guy.
- schnikies79, on 10/29/2009, -0/+8I've been that drunken seat mate. I assure you a 4hr flight is no fun in that state.
Beer and ice cream...... - PocketSalt, on 10/29/2009, -0/+81. The salesperson who wants to network with you or someone next to you. Probably both.
2. The teenage girls who laugh at anything and everything. Loudly. - GorfTron, on 10/29/2009, -0/+8I tell them about the flying spaghetti monster.
- jkc120, on 10/29/2009, -1/+9There are certainly people who don't do enough and are just resigned to let the crying happen, and I agree that those people are wrong.
But when you've done everything you can (short of drugging the child), I don't think you deserve the dirty looks and criticism. It's a baby afterall, you can only do so much. - throwdini, on 10/29/2009, -0/+7Other additions to the list. First, the family that brings disgustingly smelly food feasts with them on the plane. More importantly, the infrequent fliers who gasp every time the plane bumps a little. Flying does not bother me, but I still find this unnerving.
- jbcsee, on 10/29/2009, -0/+7I'm only 5'11 and I don't really have enough knee room to be comfortable. So I wedge my knees in the tray table every time the person in front of my tries to lean back. If they manage to actually get the seat to lean back, then I push and jostle the seat every time I move.
Most people get the hint. Some people actually get mad at me. - Fleagleman, on 10/29/2009, -1/+8While I do agree with you to some extent, I think the truth of the matter is that those parents have not grown immune to the sound of their child. That's damn near impossible. Truth of the matter is, it's just bad parenting, plain and simple.
- Trav1289, on 10/29/2009, -2/+9Just give the baby a small swig of whiskey. It is safe, and the baby will go straight to sleep.
- hacker52404, on 10/29/2009, -5/+12Then drive, walk or take a boat. *****, I really don't care. No where did I pay for getting the pleasure of listening to your little condom break crying the entire flight. I'm sorry that it "offends you" that we might actually just want some peace and quiet on a flight. There is a thing called courtesy, seems that "new parents" seem to think they're magically excused from having to be decent. I guarantee you that there is another way you could get to your destination which wouldn't put 100+ people through 8 hours of living hell listening to your little kid cry the entire time.
And this is as a person who has had kids, and guess what, I didn't take them on planes until they were old enough to know to shut up. Yeah, you might miss a few years of thanksgiving at grandmas house of that European vacation, but you're the one who decided to have kids. Deal with it. - hacker52404, on 10/29/2009, -0/+6+1 to you for being a good parent.
- Fleagleman, on 10/29/2009, -8/+14I have a baby. Both my family and my wife's family do not live near us. Guess what? We're going to be on a flight WITH OUR BABY at some point. My parents are too old to fly, and couldn't really afford it if they could. Do you honestly think the better option is to have his grandparents and other family just not see him until he's older, just to appease the uptight selfish ***** who fly coach? ***** you. Seriously. You think the parents are enjoying their screaming kid? Probably not. And I guarantee you they are having a much worse day than you are.
Our child has been on 3 flights so far, and for the most part, he actually does pretty good. Honestly, if he was a problem, we actually would look at other options because I think there is a middle ground for everyone when it comes to this situation.
But, bottom line is, every once in a while, my child might get upset, because he's only 15 months old for chrissakes and kids sometimes get unhappy. So, next time we're on a flight, and you have a problem with it, I certainly welcome you to come talk to me about it so I can ram my fist up your ass, and smile while I do it.
Sorry, but I'm just sick of hearing this complaint. - bcbrin20, on 10/29/2009, -0/+6***** priceless
- squishee, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5A friend of mine got stuck flying next to that lady. It turns out she was Sarah Palin's sister.
- bwhite, on 10/29/2009, -3/+8Word. My son is 14 months old and has been on 6 flights and number 7 coming up next week. He's had his moments, but generally been pretty good. We live away from both our families as well we want to take him with us when we travel. ***** off if you don't like it. I don't like to look at your ugly face.
- arbysrocks, on 10/29/2009, -1/+6I'd rather have the fatty ***** in a toilet and not in his pants.
- hushpuppy20, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5What about the mom with 6 kids aged 3 to 15 trying to keep track of them all at once by herself.
- zroy, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5Nothing like using the airsick bag before leaving the gate
- FritoPendejo, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5Whose grandmother?
- WiretapStudios, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5That's why I carry roofies on flights. Not for sex, for peace of mind.
- WiretapStudios, on 10/29/2009, -5/+10I am the baby hater. Call me an asshat, I'm the asshat without the baby. If I had a ghetto blaster on my lap that was shorting out, and intermittently blared Slayer, you would be pissed.
- Lexxvs, on 10/29/2009, -2/+71) The fat guy: Agree.
2) The chatty foreigner: Disagree. In fact most of them probably won’t even try.
3) The semi attractive woman: Come on, who needs a flight for that fantasy. And by the way, the woman of the pic was beautiful, not semi.
4) The question guy: Agree.
5) The baby person: Agree, but he forgot to add the children in general.
6) The old person: Disagree. Doesn’t he have grandparents? Sorry if his are filthy dude.
7) The pilot: Disagree. What airline is he used to take and why is he so hysterical about the pilot saying something once in a while if ever? Too nervous.
8) The smelly guy: Agree. But to be fair, he is too much of a sensitive guy, is he smell phobic? What does he do to take a crap? Eat solid perfume?
9) Bitchy flight attendant: Disagree. Once again, I guess he has to change of airline. Or he is really picky and too young.
10) The prisoner: As he said, this one was just to make a list of 10. - Whatasillyhat, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5I love going for a slash in plane toilets. When I was a kid I always assumed the toilet led straight to a hole at the bottom of the plane.
- FritoPendejo, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5At least it wasn't the pilot praying loudly.
- cruzlee, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5and then?
- robwhite1979, on 10/29/2009, -0/+4Amen throwdini, I just made a comment on another thread about driving instead of flying when you have a baby. Like I said in that comment, it's no wonder kids freak out on airplanes. It can't be healthy for them either (recycled air, cabin pressure changes, ear aches...).
You have restored my faith in common sense (for the time being). - robwhite1979, on 10/29/2009, -0/+4I hate the food people. Please, just bring a sandwich or something, you don't really need a buffets worth of tupperware dishes full of smelly home made food (how do they get that stuff past security anyway?).
