Today, whilst sat next to a old lady on a flight back to the UK, I exclaimed how I wished somebody would gag the crying baby a few rows behind us. Her reply was, "That's my grandson." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 on a plane with my grandma. A cute guy sat down next to her. She asked his age. He told her he was 16. She said, "Oh, that's how old my granddaughter here is." She then turned to me and said loudly, "You should switch seats with me, he's HOT!" Well, at least Grandma loves me. FML
Today, a woman strapped her 8-year-old son into the seat next to me on a transatlantic flight. Thinking they'd been unable to book seats together, I offered to swap seats with her. She said she'd booked it this way intentionally, because he's a "fucking brat" on flights. She was right. FML
Today, I was sitting on a plane waiting for everyone to get on. A cute guy around my age had the option of sitting next to me or an old guy. He gave me a horrified look and immediately sat next to the old man. I got to sit next to his mother. She evil eyed me the whole time. 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, my tired son and I were riding a shuttle bus. An old lady got on, and I told him we needed to get up so she could have the seat. He started crying and screamed, "WHY? She's old, she's gonna die soon!" I wanted to melt into the ground. FML
Today, my one-year-old son threw up on the man sitting next to us on a plane. I felt bad and apologized profusely. When I tried to give him money for dry cleaning, he slapped me. FML
Today, a woman with the cutest baby ever sat next to us at Starbucks. My response: “Aw, how cute.” My adult daughter's response: “Ew.” No chance of a grandchild anytime soon I think. 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 helped a lady give birth on the train. She was so happy she asked if she could name the baby after me, but as I told her my name she visibly turned her nose up at it, turned to her husband, and suggested naming it after his grandfather instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel for you, OP. I usually love kids, but if I hear another one screaming uncontrollably on the bus or at work, I am going to kill something. even worse because 90% of the time, parents don't even try to tell them off. some don't even glance down at the kid as it screams loud enough to shatter glass. e_o

Then tell her to control her grandson. I can't stand when people let their kids get away with acting like monsters.

if the baby is really distressed it will cry no matter how much its parents comfort it, for example if the air pressure is hurting its ears then it will cry because it hurts, no number of hugs will make its ears stop hurting...

**** kids anyway. Kids are like any group of people, a few winners and a whole lot of losers.

agree 54, which is why parents shouldn't bring babies on a plane unless they have to.

I hope you never have kids and if you do I feel bad for them. kids bring joy and laughter into peoples lives.

I don't know what to say, because you didn't know that was her grandson, but also, you shouldn't say that when there's an old lady nearby anyway, because who knows? And to all the people saying "you should've said to her to control her grandson," she can't. Babies will always cry on planes because of the air pressure. Like how we have to pop our ears on planes, babies have to, also, but they don't know how to. So the only way they can do it is if it cries. So the grandmother can't do shit to stop it.

The grandmother can grab a desert eagle and bring a wonderful solution to the problem.

wow I wouldn't want to be a child to most of these people commenting here.

once a woman sat with a kid next to me and the kid was annoying. I said to her that she fails as a parent. she got offended i don't know why.
Moonstarmist 0
Who says they weren't trying to calm the baby? Sometimes they cry for reasons that can't be fixed right then and there, like their ears popping from the air pressure, like someone else already said.

The only joy and laughter they could possibly bring me is if I could turn them to soup with my bare hands and then feed them to my cats without the cops coming after me. With the hugely overpopulated world, why do people insist on having kids, anyway?

brianjman14 23
94, that is a brilliant idea. It's because babies can't help but cry on planes. Like when we have to sometimes pop our ears on on flights, babies don't know how to do that, so the only way to do it is if it cries.

Keep your horrific thoughts to yourself OP or word them more nicely. Sheesh!
QueenSaru 28
It's not horrific to be annoyed by ear-drum shattering screeches for an undetermined length of time.
Sweetest_Cherry 0
Talking about GAGGING a CHILD is NOT horrific??? Really??
QueenSaru 28
Words said out of frustration (that are most likely not meant to be taken literally) are NOT horrific, no.
Sweetest_Cherry 0
Well then some people need to word more wisely, like I had said. She/he could have said "I wish there was a way to shut it up" "Where are the parents?" "This is going to be a long flight" while nodding their head towards the screaming. There are other ways to state your frustration. Maybe 'Horrific" was the wrong wording, but it was 3 in the morning when I wrote that. So here... "That was rude OP."
Anaxes 5
Gag is nowhere near horrific. Strangling the thing with it's own intestines is. Force feeding it a live grenade is. Covering it with napalm and bringing up the match is. Hacking it to pieces until it is silent is. Picking it up and smashing the window with it until the window breaks and it flies outside is. Curb stomping it until it's a pile of flesh and sinew is. Man I came up with some lovely thoughts there.

If you did not notice, I did correct myself. There was no need to go that far...

Yeah 'cause you never screamed when you were a baby. Have a little grace.

I don't care if I might have cried as a baby, I still don't want to hear a screaming kid. And by the way, my mom never would have let me scream, especially not in public like that.

"telling off" a screaming child rarely works.
flirtyfaery 7
and "not even looking down at them" is usually a pretty good sign that the parent is probably incredibly embarrassed and is trying hard to hold their shit together and not start screaming and crying along with the child.
PedoBearSaysYES 0
agrees u never give a screaming kid attention or it'll keep doing it if it's a baby check it to make sure its ok but if u have just fed it and changed it then it wants attention and if u give it it'll keep cryin everytime it wants more if it's a toddler and can talk then it can tell u what it wants other wise it's a tantrum and u ignore it if it knows it bothers u it'll use it against u so yea let um scream and buy earplugs
