"understandable" makes people think I'm totally on board with the behavior.

And I'm not.

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

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.

-C9-

10/23/17 10:30am

I have kids. I get it.

SandYFan

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

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"

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

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

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

Or go Vince Young and buy every seat on the flight. Otherwise you have no

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

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.

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

Some people maybe aren't frequent fliers. Could have been his first time

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:34am

Why are you more understanding of the adult and not the child? We’re you on the

Baron

10/23/17 10:37am

because he's the worst?

Mayor of Cougartown

10/23/17 10:40am

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.

shimmy

10/23/17 2:37pm

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

SandYFan

10/23/17 10:42am

Yes all of us except the guy on the plane. Because if he understood he would

Baron

10/23/17 10:44am

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!

canofpicante

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

Byron McNertney

10/23/17 11:45am

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

SandYFan

That's true, but I was making the assumption those people can turn down their

Byron McNertney

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.

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"
