Yeah, I'd bet she's one of those health nuts so she doesn't approve of water bottle use.

If she doesn't have a reason to be overprotective because of OP then he should give her one. Scream loudly in their faces and then roll across the terminal floor like a sasauge until you're on the plane. At least then her concern will be justified.

I feel like if he did that, they wouldn't let him on the plane.

I wouldn't let him on unless he did. Guess that's why I don't work in an airport.

If you did, it would be a very interesting airport

45- I thought you were supposed to get on a plane like that. Am I also not supposed to put on the airmask and pretend to be a fighter pilot?

60, that's a good way to get a nice room in a mental institution.

Ya, but I think this mother just has a case of stupid parenting

Actually, she said that because water bottles are not allowed on air planes.

Water bottles are allowed on airplanes as long as you get them in the food court area after you get through the security checkpoint

Water bottles are definitely allowed on planes

* they're

63- they didn't shove me in an asylum they sent me to advanced fighter training--- that I can't leave without a judges permission.

It was probably the hand that was playing pocket pool that concerned her not the one holding the water bottle.

Mother of all trolls! no strange thinking

You're allowed to have a water bottle as long as you purchase it after you go through the security checkpoint.

*They're

Or drank from a water bottle

Probably think u were chewing

Where exactly did chewing come from again ?

I think 46 is right. There is a girl in a few of my classes that will give people dirty looks for using throw-away bottles because they're bad for the environment.

He cannot be sitting next to her. The woman clearly said "Promise me........the man next to u just did" . If he is next to the kid, he cant be sitting next to the woman, unless of course in a circular table !

Op: *Gets up to walk away* Mom: "Son, don't follow such bad example" Op: *turns head back wondering what he did* Mom: "Look at that, that's what I want you to never do" Op: *leaves in a fit of rage* Mom: "See son, the moral of this story is that the act of trolling is a great power. With great power, comes great responsibility. Use it well"

Maybe she's a bit drunk...

No, he sat down next to the child. What an awful person.

Did you just quote Stan Lee's Mavel comic 'The Amazing Spiderman'?

She said "the man next to you." OP is the only person besides the mother next to him

How do you know that OP is the only man next to them?

Because unless the chairs are lined up three-dimensionally, everyone is only entitled to two people next to them. The kid's mom and OP are next to the kid, and I doubt the mom was talking about herself. Or at least, that's how I pictured it.

They could have 4 to a row.

As it says 'waiting for my flight', that means they are waiting in the holding area (lobby). So it is possible to have more than three seats align. Or at least that's how my airport is.

There could be 100 seats in the row and it wouldn't matter. There's still only 2 people directly next to the kid; the mother and OP.

Next to you could also mean two, three seats over. Not everyone is absolutely literal in their speech habits.

Finally, some common sense on this thread. Thanks for being smart, #110.

It doesn't say the kid & his mom were sitting. OP could have sat down next to where they were standing. Thus, several other people could have been "next to" the kid. Also, if they were all sitting, it doesn't say that the mother was next to the son, she could have been across from or behind him...js

Is the definition if 'next to' that hard to comprehend? I am dumbfounded by this thread.

That's a pretty heavy award to give out so loosely on this site, 26

There has been bigger assholes on here...

I love what happened to this comment.

I don't understand? You said OP was ugly, and then you offend yourself? I am beyond confused.

124: the mods edited his comment to have the insult part there. I was really confused at first to before I realized haha

Too* Can never figure out why my iPhone autocorrects "too" like its wrong

did the original comment just tge first sentence or did sirin get rid of some of the assholiness?

lulz, Sad.

And that colour is colourless :D!

Colourless would suggest it's devoid of colour. Therefore, it is inaccurate to refer to something colourless as having a "colour".

good one sir!

Next time, use the reply button to the comment, not the reply button to the FML.

The sad part is that they were correct the first time.

No. "A lot of people"is a plural subject. He was right to correct it. However, on his profile picture he doesn't need parenthesis because the order of operations.

They are a lot of people in an airport?

Wouldn't it be "there're"?

That's not even a word

No, you're incorrect. The comment this person meant to reply to was "Mothers are very over protective you don't know what there thinking." If it was correct, it would have said "Mothers are very over protective you don't know what they're thinking." They're meaning "they are". So if we put "they are" into the sentence it should say "Mothers are very over protective you don't know what they are thinking." There represents a location. They're means "They are" Their takes possession of something. like...it's theirs.

Maybe it's Maybelline.

Maybe it's Photoshop

And bring out a suspicious looking box. Though that might get attention from more than just mom!

And leave your bags unattended!

I agree, maybe you were digging for Gold in your nose, without realizing it.

Self consciously? Do you mean subconsciously?
