Today, I boarded my first airplane flight. The girl on my right is sick, and the guy on my left says he gets extremely nauseous on flights. My earphones can't block out the panting and retching on either side of me. FML

Ask a flight attendant if there is any free spots you could move to. I've asked before, and they let me move(I was next to the most annoying kid).

yes buy sub-par headphones where 90% of what you pay for is the name.

Yeah, it happens all the time. I fly a lot and every time, I fill up about 3-4 puke bags. I don't even bother going to the restroom anymore, I just pack 3.1 oz. of Scope and a portable spittoon in my carry-on and I'm go to go in my seat. Bus travel is looking a whole lot better, isn't it?

buses make me puke way more than planes!

While it's an inconvenience to have to run to the bathroom that many times in one flight... It's definitely a dick move to force people to listen to you vomit.

Just invest in some Drammamine and save your fellow fliers from your nastiness.

I haven't been sick on a plane so far, but I know I get motion sick so I load up on Gravol/Dramamine before. Why on earth don't people think ahead and do this? Makes you drowsy, but it was much more fun sleeping from Vancouver to Montreal than it would have been puking.

Great suggestion! It's what I do when I fly!

Lol have fun with your flight. I remember my first time on a plane. I sat next to an annoying old man who complained about everything.

I thought sick people weren't allowed to go on the plane because the air is circulated...?

They arent sick and no there isnt a rule against that. The plane makes them airsick and they vomit, If you are coming from a tropical region mabey but yeah

Exactly why I don't do middle seats.

And as said to the previous two people that commented that... Yes waste money on over priced headphones that at best are only good when used for listening to rap/hip hop and that's because of their base response rather than their actual sound quality.

You're a brave soul; I'd have an anxiety attack if I were in your position. I hope you got the chance to move.

That would be over $100 out of his wallet

Problems like this are why they have a thing called stewardesses. Sorry, Flight Attendants. Or Waitresses In The Sky? Whatever?
