You think watching anime doesn't make most of us uncomfortable?

The only person I annoy on a plane is my wife, usually. This is because I just sit there and stare at the back of the seat in front of me.

Righ just goes to sleep and I can't sleep on planes. I won't eat or drink the day before, or on the plane, so I don't ever have to use their disgusting little WCs. I was in an airplane WC once and swore I'd never use one again. And no, before anyone uses the way over used Depends thingy, I won't use them, either. Not that this will stop anyone from using it, just sayin.
The only time I think I ever annoyed anyone on a plane - I going back to England alone, which I hate anyway and I told the little kid behind me who was kicking my seat that if he used that foot again, he'd lose it. His mother didn't say anything or complain to anyone, so I guess she was okay with it. Actually, I scared the little kid but I don't know if anyone really got annoyed with me. Maybe the lady next to me who wandered off and I never saw her again. I even tried to find her. I wanted to know where she got her bag.

Coming back from NY today I sat next to a guy on the plane that looked the spitting image of Schild. I asked him if his name was Eric. He said,"No" and went back to watching anime on his handheld. I would never watch anime on an airplane. I watch things that make people uncomfortable, like Wet Hot American Summer. Speaking of uncomfortable I just finished watching my kid scream at top volume for the last 20 minutes of my flight out to Cali. I don't feel too badly about it as I fucking hate the airlines and all who support them so my self loathing at having to fly was somewhat offset by my kid ruining it for everyone. |

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I remember one time I was ion the train and this guy was feeding his berzerk offspring coca cola and then telling them to sit down and shut up. When they had run off to their mother on another seat to get another hit to continue their high, I leaned over and said "You do realize you are feeding your kids stuff filled with sugar and caffeine, then expecting them to sit down and shut up?"
He just nodded at me wordlessly and with a look that said "What else can I do?"

How can you hate flying?
You get on a plane in DC and get off a plane in fucking Europe.
That's AMAZING.

I know when I was 2 I was one of those horrible kids on a plane to America. Apparently I stopped crying about 20 minutes before landing and fell asleep, some old woman told my mother to pinch me when I nodded off  I also had the pleasure of flying with my uncle to and from the US and I have learned how people can hate flying, though that was far more my uncle than the flight. |

If I have a screaming kid in my immediate proximity and the parent is holding it and just sitting there letting it scream, I take my anger out on the parent and tell him to go to the goddamn lavatory and shut the goddamn vomit machine up.

What do you do if he doesn't? Do you get aggressive? Mostly I come across naughty children in grocery stores. Luckily I'm always armed with a shopping trolley so they can be moved out of my way. Except those horrible shopping trollies with the car for the kid in front. I keep away from those. They scare me. What ever crazy old plonker came up with those things should spontaneously combust!

What do you do if he doesn't? Do you get aggressive? You go to the stewardesses/stewards and tell them to get the kid to shut the hell up. And when they don't you complain to the airline and get some goddamn discount coupons for having incompetent staff that can't control the plane. |

Much as I loathe the sort of people who can't control their children I fail to see what a staff member can do in that situation. Administer valium? Apply a gag? Take the child to their breast and nurse it themselves? If you choose to travel cattle-class then you run the risk of it being an unpleasant experience.

They can at least ask the parent to make an effort to control their kid pointing out that other passengers have complained. |

I get the being annoyed if parents aren't trying to control their kid or are making matters worse by force feeding them sugar, but sometimes kids are just being kids. We make great efforts to prevent our daughter bothering others on planes or other places where close contact with strangers is forced, because it's the right thing to do. But when outside or on one occasion when we were at the Eden Project in one of those massive dooms, if I'm thrown a dirty look by someone, I actually encourage loud behaviour. Silent children aren't always a sign of good parents.

I don't like FIOS On Demand compared to the Comcast On Demand I used to get. I'm hoping they'll add to it. The more On Demand they have, the less I have to bother remembering stuff. I DO like the fact two months ago they gave me two months free of all the premium channels and when I called to cancel them (except the cheapo package with Showtime) they gave me three months more free. I've had FIOS for bit over a year and I think I've actually paid for about three months worth of any premium channel, all the rest have been freebies. They even tell me what date to cancel before I ask. I also like that they upgraded my internet speed and charge me $5 less for it. I didn't even have to say "I know Cheddar" to get the freebies.
