Today, whilst sat next to a old lady on a flight back to the UK, I exclaimed how I wished somebody would gag the crying baby a few rows behind us. Her reply was, "That's my grandson." FML

I feel for you, OP. I usually love kids, but if I hear another one screaming uncontrollably on the bus or at work, I am going to kill something. even worse because 90% of the time, parents don't even try to tell them off. some don't even glance down at the kid as it screams loud enough to shatter glass. e_o

Damnnnnn!!!! That sucks! Screaming kiddies on a plane does suck but it's not the mama's fault. It's usually heartbreaking cause if you turn around and look, the mama is usually trying EVERYTHING she can to keep the kid from screaming/crying. Awww!

Someguy- you are a huge douche. My little girl is 5. she's amazing and one of my best friends. She's my motivation for everything I do and she loves me unconditionally, so yea some people want that.

Here is a thought, if you are going on a flight, chances are a child will be on it too, bring some earplugs. They are like 5 dollars from a local store and then you won't hear that horribly selfish baby, who can't talk, cry. Asshole.

If I were you, I'd still tell her I'd gag the baby

Parents seem to think they're decisions to spawn means everyone in the immediate area should deal with the consequences of this. We have always had foster children and are currently expecting, I def. don't hate children, but I go out of my way to NEVER have to deal with other people's children (first class on planes/trains with age limits for first class cabins, 18/21+ up restaurants/movie theaters/bars). I don't appreciate other people's crying or worse, screeching children any more than Id appreciate someone bringing a barking dog or a police siren on the plane. I understand there's not much you can do about a crying child, doesn't make it any less annoying on a long flight. Whenever there is the option I pay the upgrade to first class where you cant bring children under a certain age, and its usually pretty quiet, on really long flights (Japan, Korea, and Germany for example) its worth every single penny to get away from noisy kids. Ive said to my s/o i wish someone would gag a kid or give it some cough syrup (didn't seriously mean it obviously, just expressing frustration) but I don't think id ever say it to a stranger.

while a screaming kid sucks... you're still a dick

There needs to be an age limit for bringing babies on planes.
