Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML

Damn, this is like a double FML. Losing the girl, getting stuck listening to whiny children. It could've been worse though, there could've been a snoring fat man with horrendous BO in the seat in front of you.

Well, she seems fine talking to anyone so I wouldn't see it as a huge loss, though being stuck with a screaming child is worse. Hope it wasn't a long flight, OP.

Why does it seem like everyone always gets stuck with obnoxious people sitting next to them on planes?

And there is always a crying baby! Every single time I've flown, there has been a screaming baby on the plane.

I guess I'm the lucky one. Although I did have a flight where someone smelt really bad and couldn't figure out who.

If you were that interested in the attractive woman you could've got up and made an effort to speak to her. But you didn't want to lose your seat so you stayed with the child, your choice mate.

I know, right? OP should have suavely approached and said something oh-so sexy and romantic like "Would you like to grab some coffee while we wait for our flight?" Heck, even if the only thing around were a couple of vending machines, it doesn't sound like this woman would mind, IYKWIM....

Is the OP on a plane? I would think flights all have assigned seating. I was under the impression that he's waiting in the airport terminal, which he could have moved seats away from that screaming kids.

You're under the right impression, OP was "waiting to fly home" therefore clearly he could've moved seats. But then again he may have been waiting for the plane to lift off I.e still "waiting to fly home" ....

Most "low cost" airlines like Wizzair and Easyjet in Europe do not assign you a specific seat so first in best dressed. If you are not quick you can miss the girl and write an FML about it.

I wonder if the attractive women might have been a player. A women who uses her good looks to get stuff from guys. Just a thought.

What exactly led you to even have this kind of train of thought?! Ridiculous! All she did was smile and gesture for him to sit next to her, why would it mean she's a player and wants stuff off him? You sound pretty bitter and twisted to me!

So, if a woman smiles at a man and it just so happens that she's attractive, she's a player? With that logic, the majority of women are players.

Or she could have been a secret spy sent to assassinate Op! She ended up getting distracted preflight and left Op with enough time to post before he died.
