10 passengers we love to hate: Day 6 - Crybabies and restless kids {Gadling}
Jun 14th 2009 10:01AM You know what? I am getting a bit tired of the anti-kid posts on gadling.
Ben: Do you really think that parents should be banned from taking babies on planes? Say, I have an idea, why don't you just stay at home yourself? Problem solved.
Katie: Do you think a 3 year old should know better? BUZZ-Wrong: a tired 3 year old does not know better. A tired 4, 5 etc year old does not either.
Do you think parents should just control their kids? Ever try it? Perhaps you would like to take the challenge sometime, and escort a 3 year old across the country?
Parents here will know: sometimes ignoring a child's behaviour is the best way to make them be quite quicker. Sometimes. Trust the parents, they live with the child, and know more about this than you do.
You know what: most parents are even more concerned about their kids making noise than you are. Not the least because of the "flying-kid" haters.
While baby sometimes fly free, kids don't. And they have as much right to be on that plane as you do.
BTW: I am a father, I have flown with kids, I know what I am talking about. No, my kids were not little angles the whole time. Yes, I have had complaints, but IMHO my kids behaviour was much more excusable than that of some of the people sitting next to us.
Imagine that poor woman who brought notes and ear plugs for those next to her? How do you think she felt?
It would seem that in this day and age, many people manage to avoid children and babies almost absolutely. The plane is the only time such have to face the reality that people don't start life as quite, well mannered, reasonable adults.
My number one "Passenger I love to hate?" Passengers intolerant of children and babies.
Darwin safety becomes a political issue {Gadling}
May 29th 2009 9:34AM It's called the Northern Territory, not the Northeast Territory, believe me, I am a local.
Survey of most annoying passengers says - don't kick my seat {Gadling}
May 7th 2009 7:34AM no 1:
Passengers who think any parent can control their kid for an entire 12hr flight. Kids don't fly free, perhaps their seat actually cost more than your own.
Did that woman forget her origins, or perhaps she thinks she was created spontaneously as an inconsiserate cranky adult her self?
Kids have just as much right to fly as others. Some people have to get over themselves.
TSA workers at Logan Airport treated for scabies {Gadling}
Mar 30th 2009 7:13AM I have always thought that scabies did not affect anywhere from the neck up. Or at least it very rare.
