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

I wish an airline would start running flights that were exclusively for people not travelling with children. They'd get my business. Every time I'm on a plane I have to practically sit on my hands to stop myself form getting up and strangling a small child who won't shut the **** up. I'm amazed that there aren't more cases where people lose it and start beating the little ****'s head off the cabin wall since that's what i always have urges to do.

ooh..maybe think before you speak next time :p

You were once a baby like that one, so you have no right to complain.

No, I wasn't because my parents were smart enough not to fly with a baby.

Just because you were a baby at one time doesn't mean you can't complain about other babies being obnoxiously loud.

what if they were flying to a funeral you selfish bitches? just stfu and get over yourselves.

I SAID unless absolutely necessary. Your language is showing your intelligence. Might want to hide all that classiness.

Well, that's the most random example I've seen on here so far. Also to poke the fire: Calling someone selfish for wanting a screaming youngling to stop screaming can easily be turned round to selfish parent taking said youngling into a confined space and demanding that others not be irritated by their loud bundle of joy. Hmph.

what's the point in taking a baby to a funeral? or anywhere for that matter. it's not going to take it in.

Seriously, that's the stupidest question ever! Babies aren't pets you know, you kind of have to feed them and change them every once in a while, like every two hours or less. That's like 12x a day. She would have had to have found a sitter who wasn't some weirdo sex predator and it would've been really expensive because childcare isn't free you know? If she's breastfeeding that's not even an option. Babies are attached at the hip with mama if they are being breastfed. Please use your brain.

You do know that breastfeeding babies don't need breasts to gain milk right? If a mother dies in birth, the baby doesn't just die because the father doesn't lactate. Pets don't need to be fed? News to me. Not a weirdo sex predator? What kind of dumbass would be attracted to a baby? Flying on a plane is expensive, planes aren't cheap you know? If we need to use our brains, then you need to grow a brain.

No shit, I know formula exists. Most mothers who are breastfeeding are doing it to avoid spending money on it and because breast is best! Of course pets eat but they don't need to be fed every two hours so you can leave them home and have someone come over to give them food every day, no big deal. Have you never heard of men actually trying to rape babies? I have, the youngest mother in the world was only five years old. Obviously there are sick people out there so you can't trust just anybody. I know you plane tickets cost money dip shit but I'm sure having to pay a sitter to watch your child 24 hours+ straight would cost more. I have a brain so get off my nuts you ******* dick licker.

You're mad. Emotions cloud judgement. Illogical opinions are created. You said breastfeeding makes it not an option. If you "knew" formula exists, don't bring up meaningless garbage then. 5 years old is not a baby. Maggots and flies. The possibility that the first person you find being a sexual predator is so low it isn't funny. Stop watching Law and Order. 24 hours straight? I'm pretty sure that if you leave a baby alone overnight it won't starve to death. Nobody with a lick of sense counts every 24 hours of a day because of something called "Night Time". As for having a brain, I'd ask you to please not lie, because lies make Baby Jesus cry. Stop reinforcing your stereotype.

it's strange how the grandma knew which baby OP was talking about, and exactly where it was.

agree with 1. my parents said I never screamed or cried in public as a baby or child, so it annoys me

Ugh, I hate kids. I'm glad I stuck with the decision never to have any. This kind of situation would set me off, too. I ride the train almost every day, and I always manage to end up in the same car as a screaming child with a parent who doesn't do anything about it. I know that sometimes it can't be stopped, but it's still annoying and we have the right to express how annoyed we are with it.
