Today, I was excited to have a window seat on my three hour flight to New York. When I got to my row, I noticed the screaming newborn occupying the seat in front of me, and a pair of toddlers behind me. I then looked to my seat to find I have no window. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after years of wonderful flying experiences, I boarded a flight and took my seat only to find a baby sitting in front of me, behind me, and to the right of me, and across the aisle from me. All of whom decided to cry in unison. It was a 9-hour flight. FML
Today, I was sat next to a screaming baby on a 9-hour flight. Now before anyone has a go at me, I am in no way blaming the baby, I’m blaming the mother with her makeup hair and nails done perfectly, with her AirPods on, staring at her phone, and ignoring her screaming child the full 9 hours. FML
Today, I had a flight to Philadelphia, but it got canceled due to bad weather. I booked another, which got delayed. After waiting for almost 12 hours at the airport, I boarded, just to have a super annoying toddler kicking my seat from behind. FML
Today, I flew into Denver. Never having been here before, I was excited to see the view from our window. In the middle seat, I leaned over to look - at the same time yawning to relieve pressure in my ears. The yawning caused me to drool on the stranger sitting next to me. FML
Today, I was on a three hour flight to Los Angeles for a corporate meeting. The woman next to me instantly fell asleep and snored louder than a freight train, while the kid behind me made a hobby of thashing my seat from behind. When I peered over and asked him to stop, he spat in my face. FML
Today, I'd booked a window seat for my first flight because I wanted to enjoy the view. A few minutes after takeoff, I fell asleep. I woke up just as we were about to land, with a dead phone, a stiff neck, and absolutely no idea what the clouds looked like. FML
Today, I had a several-hour-long flight. I was put in a seat at the very back of the plane. Before the plane even lifted off, a woman took a dump in the bathroom that I stank for the rest of the flight. Whenever I tried to get some sleep, the flight attendant walked past, savagely jostling me. FML
Today, on the airplane, the kid behind me kicked my seat hundreds of times, while the big bald guy next to me farted deadly ones repeatedly. I was on a non-stop 14-hour flight. FML
Today, my daughter found out there was a vacant seat left in first class on our flight and damn if she didn’t pounce on the opportunity to get bumped up into it so fast, because she, “like, deserved a break.” She left me in economy class for a 10-hour flight with her 3 year old and 1 year-old with teething pain. FML
Today, I was on a plane in the aisle seat; the guy in the middle was encroaching on my space, and the window seat was not taken. The stewardess noticed my discomfort and suggested the guy move so we both had space. He had bought both seats and "liked sitting in the middle." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You know those shades over the windows? I've always wondered why they had to be up during takeoff and landing. It's not like the pilot plans on parallel parking and asking the passengers "how close am I?" Sorry for randomness, but I didn't feel like bitching.

There are these things called books. I believe there are still a few left that you can find outside of Kindle. Try it out next time, you may learn something.

The sound of a screaming baby is so soothing and always puts me in a state of lull.

I would demand a refund and stress compensation :P

Doubt it would work but if you have the balls to complain over nothing, go for it... Something like that would really piss me off...

You wouldn't get one? Just cause screaming babies are a total pain in the ass it doesn't mean they don't have just as much a right to be on the plane as you do, OP just be glad your not the person who has to deal with the baby and the stress of having people give eyes at you because of something you can't help. Pity about the window seat though..

It. Was. A. *******. Joke.

I agree with 21. I always ask for a window seat. It's awesome to see earth from that perspective.

yeah, that sucks, but try being the one with the kids that everyone hates... sucks even worse, trust me! I have two kids under two and do a lot of flying. and I've flown alone and had kids next to me. much worse when they are yours!
yourmurderscenex 13
i agree with you! i had my son who was almost 22 months at the time sitting in my lap sleeping and he threw up all over me one hour before we landed. now i want the op to tell me which is worse!
dynky 3
I think it's worse for the person sitting next to you. You gave up your right not to be covered in vomit when you had kids. Think of it as the price you pay for overpopulating our planet. The poor person next to you didn't do anything to deserve it.
