Babies screaming on planes
I was googling for something about J etb lue and came across a video a guy made on a flight where a baby screamed for three hours (per him, the video is 1 minute). Complete with his awesome comments yelling at the parent of the screaming baby "Why don't you just take it to the bathroom?'. Another passenger tells him "Hey man, relax". He retorts with "Why doesn't that parent tell her kid to relax, you've got to be kidding me, you mean to tell me that sh!t doesn't bother your" etc. I'm sure you can fill in most of it.
I won't even sit here and deny that flying with a baby screaming for three hours would be pretty freaking annoying. It probably makes even the most patient person a little homicidal. But what kind of an ass thinks babies have some sort of off switch!? Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to turn my baby down/off. Thanks for reminding me 
. And to make a video of yourself sounding like a jerk? Congratulations dude. Karma is a b!tch... Just sayin'

Re: Babies screaming on planes
How stupid. We were those parents last week - DD wanted "DOWN!" and there was major turbulence and even the flight attendants had to be seated. So she threw a gianormous fit and NOTHING would distract her, so we just held her while she squirmed and screamed for an hour, and then continued the tantrum all the way off the plane and into her stroller, and for about another 20 minutes in her stroller. As we were getting off the plan, some old lady stopped me and said, "Back in my day, we would just give them whiskey! Now you'd get CPS called on you for that, but it worked!"
Amen. I told a guy on our flight to California that if he wanted peace and quiet, he should've flown private. Otherwise, too bad.

I'm trying to clean and need to see this video but don't feel like googling 
Hear, hear. Sometimes kids scream. And I'm sure the parents were trying to quiet the baby because it's not like parents like to hear their kid scream for that long, either. Like Mainer, we had turbulence on two of our last flights and had to stay seated the entire time and it didn't go over well with DD. Oh well!
Unless, of course, the kids are in first class.
Which actually happened last week on my flights home. Kid left lovie on a chair in DFW, plane left without it. All hell broke loose in the first 6 seats.
I can sleep thorough fire alarms, so I could care less, but I could have sworn the guy behind us was about to have a heart attack!
Moral of the story? So much of what happens on flights is uncontrollable. YouTube dude didn't need to hate, but really - money don't buy you peace and quiet.
Hm. Wonder if it was the same d bag that sat in front of my SIL on her way here from Baltimore. She was 22 weeks pregnant, alone, with her 18 month old. Of course he cried the entire flight. About 2 hrs in the guy in front of her turned around, glared at her for about 10 seconds, then was like, "It's been two hours and I paid for this seat!" All she could manage was, "I'm not enjoying this either and I paid for my seat too!" Then she started weeping
I think someone behind them saw the exchange and had pity on her having to be near him, because he was offered a trade. He actually had the balls to say to her, as she's still sitting there crying, "Miss, I'm just going to move!" A$$hole.
What a douchecanoe. I would have walked over and "accidentally" spilled my drink on him.
OMG. What an asshat. I sure hope every single freaking flight he ever took after that and from here on out is delayed, turbulent, out of his favorite drink, with 50 screaming babies/kids. And that he accidentally pisses on himself in lavatory. What goes around, comes around, ya jackwagon.
