    No, but I did have a 4 yo sitting in front of me who cried most of the way. I didn't mention that b/c, well, he's 4 years old. He was a cool kid, we played peek a boo and chatted after we landed. I hate people who don't get that people with kids are allowed to travel, and that kids are obviously not geared up to cope well with travel. My kids were fine, but the youngest was 7, so it's hardly the same.

    The worst is when you have a 6 week old and a 2 year old as well as the car seat for said 2 year old. For some reason people think they have to wait for you to unpack all of this stuff and follow you down the aisle when exiting. Then they get mad at YOU for holding them up. You think it's easy moving this stuff while standing crammed between my seat and the seat in front of me?! I'm standing out of the way and unhooking all this stuff so you can go around me @#$h!@#. :mad:

      Yeah, it happens to me at home, too.

        So, QANTAS could not give me an aisle seat. Upgrading me is apparently out of the question nowadays. That's fine. I got stuck next to two old American men who were grouchy whenever I wanted to go to the toilet ( I only asked if the guy on the end went, so I had to only ask one person to move ), and they were the most flatulent people I've ever had to sit next to. Woke me up several times.

        If you will sit next to a couple of 'old farts', what else can you expect?

          They did, but I'm not sure how he'd have liked being sprayed by it.

          They seemed happy enough to spray you with their tax free perfume, it's only polite to reciprocate

            My sister lives in Boston, USA - she weighs 46 stones - sitting next to her on a flight from Gatwick to Boston was not the most pleasant few hours I have ever spent - I wasn't so much sitting next to her as sitting in her.

                  I fly a LOT. I just post about the bad ones. Mostly because I hope people get a laugh out of it. I mean, the dude farted ALL NIGHT. I'm sorry, but if that happened to someone else, I'd think it was hilarious.

                  My wife and I endured that on a trip to Hawaii once. If we had not been heading for somewhere like that, I think I would have dragged the idiot to the toilet and drowned him in it. We were like "Just get up and go. You can't hold it all the way to Maui." :mad:

                    Well, they were so grumpy from the start, that I didn't dare suggest it. They heard me tell the stewardess that it was going to be a long flight if I had to sit in the window.

                    Well there's your problem. It's much more comfortable to sit in the seat. ;P :-\

                      My friend was flying from Los Angeles to Sydney. He got a seat besides Kim Kadarshian. He had to wake up every now and then because there were lot of people requesting for photographs.

                      I always end up beside the 600 lb. fat dude with gas. :sigh: You know the one. You see him coming and start praying... "Please Lord. Don't let him be in the seat next to me..."

                        Why didnt you ask god in that language he gave you? Surely he wouldnt ignore a devout follower.
