Someone yelled "get that child under control!" from the back of the plane while my 2 year old was throwing a fit about

dude...people are lame. Sory, bro.

Whenever I'm on a flight and a baby is crying I just smile and get all happy

Let it go. Being trapped in an airplane with a screaming toddler is a bad thing.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:26am

Well since I'm not on the news or in a holding cell right now I obviously did let it go

Slim

10/23/17 10:27am

I meant emotionally.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:28am

I'm sure nobody likes it, but it's still no excuse for being a jerk.

cougarfan84

10/23/17 10:28am

It's not. But it's understandable.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:28am

Now we know why you are how you are.

slowhiteguy

10/23/17 10:30am

So easy for you to take the personal attack route, huh?

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:31am

That was far from a personal attack, but you do make it easy.

slowhiteguy

10/24/17 9:17am

No. It’s really not.

I have kids. I get it.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:31am

Let it go.

10/23/17 10:31am

No it isn’t. What is understandable is skid fussing on a plane.

Baron

10/23/17 10:31am

Whether or not it's understandable I wouldn't let somebody else's rudeness ruin

cougarfan84

10/23/17 10:31am

Weird. Inappropriate behavior by an adult isn't "understandable" simply because you can identify the stimulus that led

Slim

10/23/17 10:34am

Maybe we're using different definitions for the term.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:41am

I get being irritated.. But acting like a dillhole isn't "understandable"

RaggaeCoug

10/23/17 10:41am

Maybe I should have said "I get it." Apparently my use of the word

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:43am

Yes, using "I get it" changes the context of that reply.

RaggaeCoug

10/23/17 10:44am

to be annoyed, ok but to verbalize it to the whole plane? Total #^#^ move

pegushin

10/23/17 11:11am

Its understandable to think that about the kid. Only a jerk actually says it.

Thunder Buddy

It's worse for the parent than for some rando in the back of the plane.

garyfan

10/23/17 10:31am

Yes, coming to a random internet message board still mad is letting it go.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:33am

Much better than shouting back at the guy, which is basically what the guy

garyfan

10/23/17 10:35am

Sometimes venting online is therapeutic and help some in letting things go.

cougarfan84

10/23/17 10:46am

Right after it happened my wife and I just turned to each other and chuckled. I get yelled at and sworn at by

Slim

Someone should've informed him of a new invention called earphones

Deleted

10/23/17 10:31am

Handy for next time.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:33am

Or my personal favorite ... the ear plugs! Hate flying without them.

Spine

10/23/17 3:29pm

Travelers like that make no sense to me. Noise cancelling headphones bro.

CSoul

10/23/17 10:28am

Seriously, this. You can't do much about a crying kid, but you can do something

runnincoug

10/23/17 10:29am

Not at that point, you can't do anything about it.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:30am

Do you not have children?

RealComfortableJeans

10/23/17 10:32am

I do! And sure, the passenger may learn that noice-canceling headphones

SandYFan

People suck that think like this. They're 2 years old. Anyone who expects

I assume that this type of thing is going to happen, so I come prepared...

ToonArmyCoug

10/23/17 10:36am

Bingo, we are done with kids and the youngest is now 3.

CSoul

10/23/17 10:41am

Don't worry, you'll also miss having the snacks around, maybe even more.

Spine

10/23/17 3:31pm

heck, even $10 noise isolation earphones.

A 2 year old having a fit I understand a 6 yr old kicking my seat I don’t

gilbertatty

10/23/17 10:30am

We sat the 7 year old in front of the 2 year old knowing she would kick his seat. And she did.

Slim

10/23/17 10:32am

KIds always kick a seat just because of their size.

Baron

10/23/17 10:33am

it's 2017 - how do people not have noise cancelling head phones esp. if you are

Mayor of Cougartown

Mmm more delicious personal attacks with zero substance.

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:42am

it's not a personal attack, it's a question.

Mayor of Cougartown

10/23/17 10:45am

Nah, plenty of substance on this very thread.

I don't know what you're talking about. There's nothing to understand with the

Baron

It all depends if the parent is attempting to remedy the situation.

mudpupper

10/23/17 10:36am

And maybe that was all that they could do.

Baron

10/23/17 10:38am

We bribed with food and Netflix. Sometimes this particular child just wants to scream

Slim

10/23/17 10:41am

THIS^^ At least if they are trying to do something!

The irony was he was that 2 year old back in the day, and hasn't gotten better.

Anyone flying without noise-canceling headphones is too dumb to be respected.4

Pretty intolerant of you. Not everyone has the knowledge you do.

Is it strange that I'm not bothered by kids crying?

Belboz

10/23/17 1:12pm

You're lucky. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Byron McNertney

10/23/17 1:30pm

Doesn't bother me either if not my kid

Slim

10/23/17 1:33pm

I know I'm nuts, but it seems rational to me.

Belboz

Bugs me but I understand. I feel bad for the parents.

shimmy

Next time yell back "Someone get that jerk in the back some headphones or earplugs"
