crankylexDear parents who fly with small children,
Please, for the love of ALL THAT IS HOLY, dose your offspring with children's Benadryl when you get on the airplane. Your child will fall asleep, and then, most importantly, remain silent for the flight. You will relax, because the entire airplane will not hate you for inflicting your screaming child on them. And the rest of the airplane, filled with adult travelers, will heave a sigh of relief while they sleep cramped in their uncomfortable seats.
I don't care if you object to medicating a child that is not sick. Do you hear me? I DO NOT CARE. What I care about is your thoughtlessness in bringing a toddler on an airplane with nothing to do but watch the teeny, tiny tv monitors playing a movie. This child, bored out of its mind, will kick and scream and generally make even kindly grandmother types want to smother it.
You may be immune to the sounds of your child's screams. The rest of us are not. Please take the welfare of the entire rest of the plane into consideration when you make your travel arrangements in the future.
And for the woman who took her two sick but unmedicated children on the red-eye, coughing and hacking, I hope you die. Really. I do. Someone as inconsiderate as you does not deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us.
Well, maybe you do, as the air we breathe was soon infected by whatever your children had.
OMG. ENRAGED. TOTALLY ENRAGED.
Absolutely no fucking love at all,
Lex (exhausted traveler in seat 24D)

Date: 2005-08-18 09:00 pm (UTC)I once told an obscenely loud five (or so) year old to shut up, or I was going to lock him in the bathroom.
Luckily, the little monster didn't tell his mommy. I'll take the bad karma and enjoy my quiet plane ride, thanks.
Next -- the drunken assholes who bellow their life stories at the top of their lungs from Burlington to Las Vegas...
