Well, all I know is that I was on a flight from Albany to Cleveland, on my way to Houston, and it was one of those small cramped Continental's they fly to the hubs...and this lady was sitting next to me...smelled like a lobster the whole way...a washed up on the beach week old lobster.
Wish they had an itty bitty parachute so she could jump out over Lake Ontario and maybe find her way back to the rocky coast of Maine.

Love lobster.

Love people that smell like lobster? Nope.

So far you win, DTS,

The head of my department at work was on a flight with a wee seat kicker behind him. The kid finally peaks when he pours a glass of soda down our department head's seat. Dep't Head starts yelling, the flight attendants rush up to see what the problem is... and the end result is that the KID and the kid's parent are moved to first class!

First of all, what? Second of all, I'm sure the first class passengers really appreciated that...

The parents... see this is just the type of thing I cant stand about parenting. Do not take your family difficulties and give them to all the other paying passengers.

Personally I would have left the airplane with kid in tow and apologized for the scene visited upon others. So selfish... rights my arse. Think about others once in a while, not your own trip with your own kid in your own little world.

I would be terribly embarassed if my name came out in the paper associated with this incident. These parents are already on TV. Slap em up side the head. They are reveling in the noteriety. Unbelievable gall.

The part that really explains it all is the quote from the mother " we didn't have a chance to console her" GTF out, come on I would of said " we didnt really have a chance to beat her ass"

I was reading a follow-up article that said when the family took a flight out the next day they doped the kid up on Benedryl. May I ask, why didn't they do that the first time? They admitted they know the kid can be a handful.

And, to try to be a little kind to the kid-- those trips up and down can be very, very painful on the ears. Give the kid Benedryl and let her sleep through it all!

Heck, if Benedryl knocked me out like that I'd pop it the second I got to my seat.

As a 3 year old I knew the rules, my mom must have told me them in the womb, because I NEVER EVER acted up , not once did I ever yell or scream or become unruly in public or at home in the house. My mom made it very clear when we went anywhere ," you behave and you can ride the horsey go round when we come out , you act up and Im going to take you in the bathroom and beat yer ass" . I understood that getting out of line was not good for me so i didnt. To be honest it never even occurred to me to be loud and unruly as a child, and I think if more parents were more liberal with ass whippins and less " let me hug the child into behaving" the whole world would be better.

Pediatricians say to be sure to do a test run before trying the Benedryl trick on a kid on a plane because it does make a small number of them more hyper! Could you imagine trying it on a plane for the first time and having that happen?
