Some of the worst airplane passengers are children. Especially if they are on a seat behind you. Often they sit on the lap of an adult and they will be kicking your seat all flight long. Then they will cry and make you feel even more uncomfortable until they start playing with the tray on your seat.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind children, but I always have bad luck on planes. Just recently I had the pleasure of the worst misbehaved little brat behind me. After a while the parents got into an argument on how to raise the kid. Seems like she was home alone with the kid most of the day and completely spoiling it. It was the most horrible flight I have ever had and it was the noisiest child I have ever seen.

Second worst are people with cellphonites. Believe it or not, but after landing they have to call their mother or girlfriend and let them know that they are still strapped in. Then they call after they get up to let them know ......

It goes on and on.

I'm not a big fan of children to start with.  They're okay, as long as their parents can keep them under control.  But most parents cannot, or either they just choose not to.  I suppose part of a child's problem on a plane is the altitude and what it does to their ears.  But that should only be during takeoff and landing and I'd deal with it then.  But I can't stand these brats that spend the entire flight kicking, screaming, and just generally making life miserable for all the other passengers.  And the mothers and/or fathers who try to "calm" the brat by softly saying "it's okay sweetheart", or calm them with candy and snacks (oh yeah, give them sugar... that will help), actually grind on my nerves more than the brats.  I know what my parents did for that kind of behavior, that's why I didn't behave that way very often.  Kids behaved better back in the good old days when you wouldn't go to prison for spanking them.

There's my two cents worth. :)
