There are two kinds of flights: decent ones and flightmares. If you’re someone who genuinely enjoys getting on a plane, you’re probably kidding yourself or perhaps you didn’t have to pay for your own ticket. Now, if I seem jaded or pessimistic about all of this, let’s be clear about a couple of things: (1) without fail, I am always in the last boarding group; it doesn’t matter how much I have paid for these tickets because this always happens to be the case; (2) I am also always seated next to the bathroom, so there is always going to be a long line of folks waiting by me and potentially grabbing hold of my seat for balance throughout the flight; (3) by the time I board a plane, the overhead compartments are always full.
At the very least, it seems like I am not alone. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit by u/h***uvaresearcher, who was on a return flight after an emotionally distressing weekend when he learned that he would be seated next to two poorly behaved kids. They were loud, disruptive, and annoying the entire time, and yes, they were old enough to know better. To make matters worse, their parents were seated directly behind OP and refused to take care of their own kids during the nearly three-hour flight. Furthermore, everyone else on the plane seemed to think that OP was the father of these children, so he kept on receiving glares from strangers. Meanwhile, the real parents did absolutely nothing to correct them.
