Have you ever seen a "freakout" throughout the course of your travels, whether it was on an airplane or at an airport?
Me: never, but I've probably traveled a lot less than most people on this board, maybe 17 or 18 flights total. The most drama I've seen is maybe some people rolling their eyes or raising their voices when they hear their flight has been delayed/cancelled but it's never turned into full on shouting as far as I recall. And I've never seen anyone acting crazy on a plane. How about you, Anons?

Only once. An Italian lady came too late to the airport (maybe 30-45min in advance) and was about to miss her flight. She was pissed that there weren't more customs checkpoints open and was screaming for a few minutes to "OpEn THe GatES!" to random airport staff. No idea if she actually missed her flight, but everyone around her got a good chuckle out of it.
Would have been 10x times funnier of she was american
>open the gates
>IM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!!
yeah loads of times. i am sure everyone who travels reasonably frequently has seen plenty.
one i remember was some eastern european guy who was getting impatient about standing in the checkin queue and randomly started yelling I HAVE A FLIGHT as if he was the only one. no shit dude it's an airport
i also saw a full on chimpout at a train station in the netherlands a few years ago. there was a group of black dudes and one of them couldn't get through some turnstile gate for some reason and just went loopy and him and his mates just ran around screaming and throwing stuff and so on. all the normal dutch people just stood around like here we go again
Not gonna lie, I had a minor freakout last year. Had to travel overseas for work, and of course, the country I was traveling to required a fricking covid test prior to departure. Got my test, got to the check-in counter, and was denied boarding because I took the test like, half a day too early, so it would be invalid upon arrival. My scene wasn't too big, just raised my voice a bit, let my temper get the better of me. Hell, I felt bad about it. Went outside, had a couple of rage smokes, and then went back and apologized to the poor dude who was just doing his job. I'm not excusing it, but sometimes the bullshit just gets the better of you.
I had a similar situation which I'm embarrassed about in retrospect
I had spent a few months studying abroad and was really ready to get home. my plane into nyc was a bit late and it took a very long time for my bag to get off the plane, and by the time it did I missed my next flight. when I realized that and that the next flight home wouldn't be until the next day (meaning I had to stay the night there) I started crying and kicked over a chair. it didn't help that I was still a bit drunk from drinking too much on the flight.
but they gave me a meal ticket so I got something shitty to eat and fricked around until my morning flight home. travel is stressful. sometimes a bit of a tantrum is needed to let out steam.
You started crying…? How old are you and are you a man?
was 21 and yes I'm a man
it was stressful man
sometimes shit gets stressful, nagger
Frick, that reminds me.

No, unlikely, I like the feeling to be on the airplane.
Some softer b***hes would accuse me of being the one to "freak out". I often ask stewardesses if they can talk to the failure of a parent that is letting their child scream out to the world if they could kindly shut the frick up.
There was a black dude that did this recently but he made a huge scene out of it. Was posted on R*ddit. Honestly that dude was based as frick.
>if they can talk to the failure of a parent that is letting their child scream out to the world
dude relax. flying is painful for little kids because of the pressure changes. i think people shouldn't really take their kids on flights but it's not really their fault they cry.
if you don't like it sit somewhere else
I'm not blaming the kid for crying, I'm blaming the parent for not controlling their child. I'm a paying customer, I have every right to complain and will keep doing it.
Painfully obvious you don't know what it's like being a parent.
Why are you guys acting like a bunch of b***hes? Why should I have to sit through a flight with a child that can't be consoled by their parent?
>Why should I have to sit through a flight with a child that can't be consoled by their parent?
What are you going to do about it, b***hboy? Complain? Meanwhile Infantchad is dominating your eardrums with easy, living rent free in your head even now after dropping his sonic load all over your brain.
To this day you are traumatized by a baby. Imagine what an alphamale/stacy he will grow up to be.
Yes, I will keep complaining as I stated above. I know you're attempting to be funny but I'm going to keep harassing the parents into raising a better child, or being more prepared for their tantrums.
There is actually an ultrasonic device that scares very young children and gets them to shut up. It has to do with the mhz of animal growling, or something like that, it triggers their instinct to be quiet (or be discovered and eaten).
Here is a video about it. https://youtu.be/2UJ_a7mxGpM?t=731
>Im going to keep harassing parents hehe
>by quietly asking the stewardess if she’ll go have a word with you
Please tell me the same guy from the dog thread who said ‘I wont HESITATE to tell the flight attendants on you’ topkek if so is this just your schtick to go in different threads and play tough guy (who will ask the stewardess to talk to you)
I have no idea what you're talking about schizo, what fricking dog thread?
there was a thread about flying with dogs and someone made essentially the same kind of post to the effect of 'Look buddy I wont HESITATE to... ask the flight attendant to have a word with you (about your dog that isn't doing anything'
It's so ridiculous I thought you might be the same person. What do you expect an FA to do re: crying infant at cruising altitude? The most you can expect is that they'll offer you a drink or snack as consolation after you've complained a few times. They're not going to say anything (expect perhaps offer the same consolation) to parents of a screaming infant. A >3 year old acting inappropriately would be a different story, though
Both of you need to sack up, seriously. Like I said earlier, I'm a paying customer and am well within my right to complain. I'm not the bad guy in this story by a long shot, no matter how much your ovaries are telling you otherwise.
>I'm not the bad guy in this story
You're worse, you're a whiny b***h crying about babies crying.
Call me what you want dude, I truly do not care and will keep doing what I'm doing.
We got us an Internet Tough Guy (tm) here, boys.
You are well within your rights to complain, but you evidently are too low IQ to realize such a complaint is futile. There is no situation in which an FA acts on your complaint about a crying infant, except as I said maybe to offer YOU consolation via drink/snack or a different seat where possible.
>DUDE JUST DON'T EVEN TRY
Lol, go away loser.
Yes, you should not bother making requests of flight attendants that 1) have no concrete ask which they can satisfy you with (eg ‘Can you switch me to an empty seat?’) 2) they simply won’t do for you
Asking them to ‘talk to’ the parent of a crying infant fails both of these things. There is no way to really satisfy you via what you’re asking of them, and they wont do it in the first place since its a nonsensical ask. Again if you’re talking about a four year old throwing food or something thats a different story.
Nobody cares that you rawdogged your 4/10 wife just shut up already and stop acting like having a kid makes you a supreme gentleman.
homosexuals like you will be like “the west is declining because of MUH immigration” and then get mad when people have kids. Frick off.

Kek’d hard at infant Chad with a square jawline dropping his sonic load
Do you seriously think the parents aren't bothered by it? If it's an infant crying they can't just tell the baby what to do to alleviate pressure changes.
Outside of a small handful of psychos who shouldn't be parents, I can guarantee you the person stressing over a baby crying in any situation where people are stuck together is the parent.
Adults who lose their shit over a crying baby need to behave like the adult they are and not lose their shit over a crying baby. Especially in a situation like that where the baby is too small to understand shit being told to it.
It's different if it's an older child misbehaving, but a baby? Come the frick on.
I don't care. Straight up do not care. Don't travel with your child if you can't control it.
You need to behave like an adult. You cannot control an infant like you think. Sometimes you just gotta' do what you gotta' do and that means traveling with an infant. Nobody likes it, it just is what it is. You will live, so stop whining and behave like an adult.
I am behaving like an adult. I'm literally asking the parent and stewardesses if they can calm the child. I'm not directly telling the child to shut the frick up. I never get physical in these situations either. I'm not going to sit in my seat for several hours listening to this thing air its lungs out.
>Im not going to sit in my seat....
kek actually I think you are. hope you have earplugs!
>listening to this thing air its lungs out.
dudes either a child (which is likely) or a straight up inhuman demon. You gotta watch out for people like this guy who do not have any compassion for others, let alone infants. Scumbag supreme
>You need to behave like an adult.
lol this is SighSee anon. you can't expect to encounter rational human beings here
Or how about you bring the ball gag your wife puts in your mouth while she pegs you and put it in your infants mouth to keep your child quiet? Simple as
>Sometimes you just gotta' do what you gotta' do and that means traveling with an infant
Give me a single situation where you HAVE to travel with an infant on an international (or long) domestic flight
Time-limited medical treatment
Would they really put those kids on regular flights?
given that most people can't afford private flights, yes
NTA but how is time-limited medical treatment so common in infants and why are all the specialized baby hospitals located on sunny tourist islands?
>don't bring your baby to your grandparents. You have to wait until the child won't cry, when said grandparents are dead
Ok adult Karen. Don't travel if minor things annoy you. Also stop being a poorgay with not having noise cancelling headphones.
I don't care. Straight up do not care. Don't travel where there may be children if you can't control yourself and shrug it off.
You are being the b***h here. Babies exist and they cry, kind of like it rains sometimes and there are women that will frick up your life. These things happen and you need to learn to deal with them.
The world needs more babies and less people like you, I will take the crying over your sociopathic rants anyday.
>mfw sat on a 8 hour flight with a crying baby next to me
>mom apologized
>said np, didn't care
>got free beer
>put on headphones and watched a movie
wasn't a bad flight at all, somebody like you probably complained but I didn't them b***h
Who gives a shit? Frick you and Frick parents.
That's irrelevant. The issue is that YOU are bringing YOUR screaming child next to people who have no real option other than to suffer through the audio-terror. Just don't bring infants on planes, it shouldn't be allowed in the first place imo
>Just don't bring infants on planes
This whole thread has been full of narcissists like yourself huffing and puffing. Only two or three other replies in this thread have had any normal brain function regarding this topic.
>I should be allowed to terrorize other passengers with my screaming infant, with no consequences
you are the narcissist
You're the guy in OP's image
May I refer you to this post?
>it shouldn't be allowed
>why do you HAVE to
But it IS allowed, and isn't required to be justified to your or anyone else. Ironically it is you people who are kicking and screaming against reality. Commercial air travel is a glorified bus. EVERYONE on there, including the parents, hates to hear a baby crying. Your only options are to make peace with it, or travel by other means. I do hope that some airline puts out adult-only cabin or flight options one day. But until then, shut the frick up about it. Complaining and hilariously empty chest puffing like 'Ill tell a flight attendant to go talk to you' does nothing but make you sound moronic.
Enjoy getting instantly kicked off the flight, probably charged with a crime, and banned from flying.
kek
>But it IS allowed
Complaining is also allowed
Of course. I think its a waste of time in this case but it’s your right
>what is the is-ought distinction
baby fingers wrote this post
I'm well aware of the 'ought' argument being made, I disagree with it but more importantly am making the point that the 'ought' is irrelevant here, the only option you have in reality is to make peace with it or take another mode of transportation
There's a third option, they could punch you in the head and give you a concussion.
I carry my katana (japanese sword for all you gaijins) with me at all times, I WILL be respected.
>it shouldn't be allowed in the first place imo
That's a niche market some airline could try and exploit, "No Babies Air," babies not allowed, slight upcharge on the ticket for the more pleasant flight.
The fact that no airline attempts this maybe speaks to just how small a niche this is.
It’s really just business class and it’s “less babies” not no babies.
Sorry things that are understood need explanation.
You speak as if being a parent was a badge of pride.
Raising children is for females and homosexuals.
Exactly. homosexual is acting like busting a nut in some trench slag roastie is some crowning achievement that elevates him above everyone else... Only real prize he wins is he's tied to a stretch marked baby fat carrying woman the rest of his life.
>You speak as if being a parent was a badge of pride.
That, and t's also a ticket for being an butthole. Apparently people with children are exempt from common expectations of courtesy and politeness.
Spot on
>I have every right to complain and will keep doing it.
get a load of karen here
>I'm blaming the parent for not controlling their child.
What do you want them to do? Put sticky tapes on their mouth? You can't just say to a little child in pain to 'stop crying', he will just not do it. I know it's very annoying for everyone but there is nothing they can do.
For long flight nowadays I only fly in business, there are almost never kids (it still happens but it's rare). I'm lucky to be able to afford it but when I was younger I had my share of crying kids. Some 12 hours flights have been the worst experiences in my life, especially since I'm very tall. Being able to lay flat is game changing from me. Flying goes from an experience similar to waterboarding to being an enjoyable thing where you can relax, eat well and sleep.
I want gladiator style combat between myself and the infant. He will have to earn the right to cry.
This. If infants want to talk the talk they best be ready to walk the fricking walk.
We should have a SighSee parenting general as well.
Parents can 100% do something about crying babies.
Some random tips in no particular order:
- make sure the baby can eat around the time of take-off (preferably also during landing). This forces them to move their jaws a bit. Alleviates discomfort from the pressure change. Baby eating during take-off = baby not in pain = more chance of quiet.
- get noise reduction ear covering for the baby (it's also useful if the parent likes to have a social life in general and takes the baby to other noisy places like some restaurants and whatever)
- Peekaboo. It's way too easy to play with the head rests between you and a baby, and even if the baby is hysterical, it makes them shut up the very least. They'll at least be confused enough to not scream for a few minutes. But mostly they find it the best thing in the whole universe that someone plays peekaboo with them, so it makes them smile or giggle. The sad part can be that with some babies you realize that their parents really don't (have the energy to) give a flying frick about them.
With older kids it's way more difficult to travel.
Also earplugs > noise-cancelling headphones when it comes to noises like this.
Also I try to remember that the parent also hates their baby being loud, too. They're likely a sleep deprived mess themselves.
>Parents can 100% do something
This is always the kicker. For all the times I saw parents try to console or settle their child; there were just as many where the parents didnt give a frick. Children running around the cabin like its daycare, constantly bumping into other passengers. When the child gets obstructed in any shape or form; they start bawling and the parents keep allowing it to happen.
Did you know there are child sedatives that you can use like chloroform? I genuinely believe that airlines should enforce a policy that children that cant be consoled be sedated.
>Parents can 100% do something about crying babies.
Yeah, but that takes away my precious "looking at my phone and ignoring my child while everyone else stares at me" time. Not all of us are trying to raise well-adjusted members of society, you know.
u good?
ya, u?
>The world belongs to me and my surroundings must constantly cater to my pleasure.
There are two inconsolable children in the situation you describe. One is a literal infant, the other is a moronic entitled autistic manchild. I bet you tell people you don't want a wife/kids for every reason but the real one. You repel people and nobody can stand to be with you long enough to have a serious relationship.
sort yourself out
that is some serious projection, holy moly!
>no u
Weird to project that nobody loves me while I am married.
I am sure whatever fun house mirror interpretation of reality that Andrew Taint has spoon fed you about why women wont touch your dick is going to work out for you. Maybe one day you will realize that your hatred of children is you lashing out at your loneliness.
Aw man, I'm married too. It'll get better man, talk to your wife about the struggles you're having instead of serving up some armchair psychology to strangers on the internet. good luck dude, you'll make it through this funk.
>no other seats
>haha just sit somewhere else!
No, get the parents to cover the moronic speaker's mouth so noise doesn't come out.
Kids and especially babies should be banned from all flights except for in extreme circumstances. Like they need life saving surgery and the only person in the world that can do it has to be reached by plane.
>tfw once had some weird heart palpitations during a flight over the pacific (I know what they are they just suck)
>explain to the person next to me hey might be doing some heavy breathing sorry, my heart is acting up. Nothing to worry about this happens from time to time
>b***h immediately starts freaking out like I am about to die
>calls stewardist about me having heart issues
>N-no it's just palpitations, I get these from time to time I'm fine I was just saying sorry if I have to do some breathing exercises next to her
>person knows exactly what I am talking about gives me a bottle of water just so karen will calm down
>she doesn't
>any sniffle, cough, yawn, or heavy breath she looks like I am about to die
>bolts off the plane for some reason as soon as we land
If a kid is generally acting out the parent deserves the hate but if you’re raging about screaming infants there is often literally nothing the parent can do other than provide comfort and wait
It’s the parents fault for bringing the infant on the plane
Infants should be stored in soundproof overhead containers with a bottle for the entire flight.
>sit somewhere else
Yeah let me just get up and move to one or two of the empty middle seats somewhere. Frick that, the easy work around is when paying for seat selection have it show the age, weight, gender, and race of the people in those seats as well as showing if they're being cheap and putting a frick trophy on their lap.
airlines always put parents travelling with babies in the bulkhead seats at the front of the cabin
you can see what rows those are using seatguru or similar
basically sit near the back and you'll most likely be as far as you can get away from people with babies
also you sound like a psychopath. get help
>always
Wrong.
fine. almost always. better?
they do that because the bulkheads have the clips for those little cradles they give parents for babies
i'm sure on some shitty airlines they either don't do that or charge extra but i'm talking about civilised airlines
>Infants should be stored in soundproof overhead containers with a bottle for the entire flight.
KEK based
>Infants should be stored in soundproof overhead containers with a bottle for the entire flight.
I agree, or be fitted with some sort of gag with breathing holes so that they can't yell. It's way too small a space on a plane to be subjected to that shit
>Infants should be stored in soundproof overhead containers with a bottle for the entire flight
lmfao based
>please be careful when opening the overhead compartment, your infant may have shitted during the flight
The difference is you're an adult an they're an infant with a brain in early development and lack of puberty. If you're too autistic to understand what that means then maybe you should shut the frick up.
Why are you so angry?
Why are (You)?
:O
This is some r/childfree shit. There's little you can do if an infant wants to keep crying and parents have to take their kids on planes sometimes. It's just a part of life. I don't even have kids but people like you are fricking moronic.
soft
>parents have to take their kids on planes sometimes
No they don't, they choose to
And you choose to be a whiny poorgay with no noise cancelling headphones.
Again, I'll just bring an airhorn. Anyone that gets annoyed regarding my airhorn-honking is just a poorgay with no noise cancelling headphones. Noise pollution is a non-issue, right
>”I can’t control when I use my airhorn, that’s just like a crying child in the flight!”
So it would be completely okay in your book if I instead of an airhorn rigged my cellphone to blast some alarm-sound for a few minutes at random intervals? Then I actually don't have control over it.
I was in an empty part of an airport playing with my daughter who was 2 at the time. I was throwing her in the air and catching her. She was loving it and being loud, hence why we went to an empty part of the airport. Some b***h comes over and starts a phone call. Then yells “hello I’m on the phone!” at me and my daughter playing. I tell her that we were here first and she should find somewhere else. She stormed off. Later she was on our flight and my daughter was crying since they would let her sit on my lap (US airlines are moronic). And I saw her physically freaking out several rows up. I laughed so hard. Frick anti-Child people.
I have kids and I have purposefully fry on flights because I know it annoys autists like you.
>I like annoying people in revenge for them getting annoyed with me for being annoying
Sound logic, bravo
Again, do you honestly think parents can control their kid crying? Fricking moron.
They can control whether or not they bring their randomly-discharged flesh-airhorns on the flight, can't they? :^)
Oh right, you’re autistic, but not the funny Rain Man Kind.
You seem upset. Is annoying strangers that important to you?
No. What if grandma lives in another country and wants to see her grandchild?
In my opinion, she can move closer, fly herself or get fricked
She can fly? My grandfather still got on transatlantic flights well into in his 90s.
You’re talking to people who have been disowned or defooed their family. If they can’t understand that they were once kids and can’t empathise with that something is deeply wrong with them mentally.
Do you really have to make up fantasy stories to be able to cope with the fact that other people find your kids annoying as all hell?
Have some self reflection, Mr Airhorn autist
Realize that you and your children aren't the only people in the world, and be considerate to others
Frick grandmas, don't take them on planes.
You really are the type of person that lets other walk all over them, aren't you?
I’m so glad you childfree gays aren’t passing your weak genes on to the next generation. You can’t even tolerate a minor inconvenience.
I'm not "child-free". Why do you assume that anyone that has a child just blindly accepts that other parents let their children be an utter nuisance in public?
>acting like an impulsive black person
>based
lel pick one.
Based I want kids but I'm a sane enough person to know they won't fly until they are atleast 5
They will act worse on the plane at 3-5 than <3
Good thing I said atleast 5
5 is kindergarten age so they should know how to shit and play on a iPad or draw. You can always backhand them if they act up
KEK please backhand your kid on a plane
I'll backhand your kid on a plane. Then I'll backhand your wife for popping out the little fricker. Then I'll backhand you for breeding with that woman and not disciplining your child. Then I'll backhand the stewardess because that bawd deserves it. Then I'll backhand the air marshal because frick cops. Then I'll probably give my hands a rest because they'll be in handcuffs at that point and my backhanding days will be over, but it will have been worth every moment. b***h.
y-you can't do that! M-my little babyrinos! My wiferino! no you wouldn't dare it's not right!
I don’t have kids but I would heem your ass lmao
Lmfao it’s always morons like you that complain about babies crying on a plane. People with a modicum of intelligence wear noise canceling headphones and never hear a peep. Nigs like you are either too dumb and/or poor (often related) to figure this out.
I can tell you let people walk all over you irl
>"heh I'll show that baby who's boss by yelling at it to stop crying!"
meds now
On a recent flight we were coming in for a landing through some heavy turbulence after a 9 hour journey. A young woman a few rows ahead of me could be heard screaming "SHIT SHIT SHIT" every time the plane shook. After a particular shake she went into full on sobbing. Felt bad for her and I personally was in a cold sweat throughout the whole experience. We landed safely and on time though.
>we landed safely and on time though
As usual. Hahaha, still sucks though.
I remember one time flying out of Colorado, the pilot said that we were going to drive through a storm and expect heavy turbulence for about 40 minutes.
Turns out it was 2 hours of really heavy turbulence. I did my best to keep it together but I really thought I was fricked. Good thing they had wifi on the flight because I could just talk with my friends and family and calm down a little.

I don't even know the exact predicament. The entire conversation was in English, and both parties (the angry customer and the check-in agent) were Asian.
Sorry if it's boring, but I rarely see public meltdowns.
Years ago I was on a Cathay Pacific flight from HK to NYC via Vancouver and they were on the eve of a strike or something and the staff were explaining that the connecting flights may be delayed, etc. People were losing their shit. I had no time demands and didn’t care and was chill once I got to the counter. Bantered a bit with the agent, and she bumped me to 1st class for the flight. Pays not to be a spaz sometimes.
Lel. I remember a flight I was supposed to board in HK to Shanghai around that time being delayed like a whole fricking day. And the mainland Chinese were arguing with HK chongs and getting aggressive. The wypipo who were also supposed to take the flight didn’t do anything. Was amusing to see

Peak Moroccan moment
That was me
I travel to and from Africa, frequently.
moronic africans freak out in the airport with alarming regularity.
>will bring carboard boxes of shit instead of luggage, then complain that the airline staff won't accept them as checked baggage. Will go and get them wrapped in 10lbs of cellophane tape, then bring it back demanding it be checked. This is 'ok'. You can imagine the chaos on the other side when 20 different families try to get their similar looking cellophane wrapped boxes
>will arrive 15 minutes before the gate closes, to the check in, then act like its not their own fault and cause a scene.
>will utterly fail to form a queue, and push and shove each other and even fight in order to establish who gets to check in next
>random food items everywhere, yelling and complaining they aren't allowed to bring them on the plane
>produce
>literally livestock, brought to the airport (not allowed inside), stopped outside and forced to divest themselves of the animals before they come in
In fact I would wager that at least half of my trips to or from africa have involved some sort of chimpout in my vicinity. Africans are incapable of travelling without encountering the rules of civilization, which they are incompatible with. Most of them just sullenly accept they will have to pretend to be human for at least a little while. Just enough refuse outright and stage a protest.
I saw a flight out of Nairobi where a woman brought only a passport for herself, and none of her children had any identification. The airline would not print her boarding passes, so she tried to attack them and got arrested.
I haven't seen a travel-related full on freakout yet. There's always the odd idiot who shouts, but where I go to it's either their own travel buddies/family who tells them to shut up and suck it up, or the service staff just waits till the anger is gone.
I saw many MANY public transport freakouts, those are mostly fun from far away, being in it not so fun.
I did see eg. football hooligans fight on the underground.
Or... The metro I was on caught fire. It was interesting seeing dozens of fire trucks lined up, and firefighters rushing down while we get out. There was no panic, because the metro driver was pretty resigned about it. He didn't warn us before the station, but at the station he just made one clear announcement that "everyone is get off this train and get out of the station. now." And so there was no confusion, everyone got off their asses, it was only outside on ground level with the sirens blasting when we were like, what now? Luckily the fire was small enough so we didn't have issues breathing.
Idk I have literal hundreds of public transport freakout anecdotes, not so many airport ones.
To be fair, as recent as the 1990's I didn't have my own passport until I was like 6, and I'm European. My parents had me in their passport. After a quick googling I see eg. India and Nigeria still does this, I assume many other countries still do, too. It's not unusual at all for the mom's passport to be the passport of all her children, too.
Also I moved countries by plane multiple times, with literal dozens of cardboard boxes. Then again, I'm white and I paid for business class, cause the boxes were also heavy, so nobody cared.
>The airline would not print her boarding passes, so she tried to attack them and got arrested.
lmao
Was flying FRA to IAD and an African immigrant freaked out, ran to the door, and tried to open it halfway through the flight. He got tackled and taped to a chair for the rest of the flight. When we landed in IAD the police came on and escorted him off.
About a year ago, some black lady and older white guy argued about who had to wait their turn to leave the plane, even though they were in the same row, they got to pushing and shoving but then the guy gave in and let her go. Then they started arguing at the gate because the girl was so butthurt about the experience. Wish they would've got to scrapping and made the plane ride more fun
we almost diverted while over Greenland because some dude refused to wear an N95 mask instead of a cloth mask. it was a very intense screaming match between him and the crew and one of the pilots had to come back and threaten to land the plane at the nearest diversionary airport to calm the guy down.
that was the worst one, ive seen others that were just like people openly fighting with their spouse or just being generally stressed out messes. flying really does bring it out of people.
On connecting flight and landed in East Coast of USA. Was about to board to get to West Coast and all of a sudden, the flight was canceled for some stupid ass reason because why not, its Delta. Get told the next similar flight won't be for the next 22 hours. One guy loses his marbles and starts yelling in the empty airport at 1AM.
>frick Delta!
>holy fricking shit frick Delta!
visibily distraught, dude accepts his fate and sleeps in the airport like the rest of us. Horrid time altogether.
Another instance is a flight from South East Asia. Four military dudes on leave or possibly retired military dudes on drugs and drunk on the plane. They all have seats next to each other. They were already drunk to begin with- but they asked for more alcohol in the middle of the flight. Now they are rowdy and have no control. Three of them were inconsolable while the third was still semi-conscious. One of them tried to go to the lavatory and ended-up faceplanting in the middle of the isle on the way there and stayed there. The semi-sober guy got up and helped him and they both got back into the seats. Not too long pass and they all somehow got visibly irate because they were being cut-off from the alcohol. They proceeded to physically fight and beat each other to submission while in their seats- like straight up savage punching. Eventually I think, three of them got knocked unconscious while the third semi-sober guy finally got to chill. Was a funny thing seeing them almost get security to deal with them. Couple of stewardesses try to calm them down.
used to work at a sit down restaurant at the airport and I would see freakouts all the time
from people blaming the restaurant for cancelling or not being able to delay their flights so they can enjoy their meal
to blaming us for making them miss their flight cause they failed to read the notes that certain food items take longer to cook
Nothing too interesting.
I saw a lesbian couple with 4 children and one of them was sick and throwing up. They wouldn't let the sick child stay on the plane so one mom stayed back with her while the other mom and children stayed on board.
I saw a moronic girl constantly screaming and moaning while waiting at a gate.
Fat black ladies screaming at their kids with vulgar language.
Honestly I'm terrified that one day I'll have a flight canceled or diverted due to some unruly passenger, I see new videos of people throwing temper tantrums on planes every day.
never seen a freakout because i fly business class and stay in the lounge. no screaming kids either. stay poor.
The first time I ever flew business class, a paki couple brought their baby. Who the frick brings a baby into business class?
for that kid it's technically a free business class seat.
I get that very young children often fly at little to no cost, but it still ruined the business class vibe. They should really gatekeep a little harder than just a price bracket.
Wealthy people don't have kids?
Wealthy people are by definition supposed to have their shit together.
A. Raise their kids to not be little shits
B. Travel without their kids
C. Travel on a private jet
A. Crying infants aren't being little shits, there is no 'raising them' to do anything at that stage
B. You are a sperg if you think traveling with your kids is a sign of not having your shit together
C. The gap between being wealthy enough to fly business and wealthy enough to fly private is huge and this is obviously unfeasible for the vast majority of 'wealthy' people
Everyone hates to hear crying babies on planes but IMO to take the stance that parents are somehow in the wrong to travel with babies is not grounded in reality.
>this is obviously unfeasible for the vast majority of 'wealthy' people
Then they're not wealthy, simple as.
Are you being facetious or do you really not understand the immense level of wealth required to fly private vs the baseline what is considered 'wealthy' and able to fly commercial biz/first
If you can consistently afford to fly business/first, that just means you have above-average income. It doesn't mean you're wealthy.
If you can afford your own jet, then you're wealthy. Simple as.
I would say, generally, people worth less than ~$30-50 million don't consistently fly private and even they don't own the jet. But "wealthy" begins at the low multi-millionaire level
>B. You are a sperg if you think traveling with your kids is a sign of not having your shit together
Unless you're some sort of international businessman that needs to relocate his entire family frequently I see no reason to not just have someone babysit your future wageslave for the duration of your vacation. It happens far too often to be only unavoidable cases, which is believable considering people in 2023 bring "service animal" great danes onto the plane.
frick you sound autistic
Babies need to grow up and stop crying on planes. They should know better.
Would you be okay with me bringing an air horn and honking it for several seconds at random intervals throughout the flight? If no, please explain why
I'm not the anon you're replying to, but your idea sounds hilariously based. Gotta give them a taste of their own medicine.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/p6a6Ek4QHGg
>Would you be okay with me bringing an air horn and honking it for several seconds at random intervals throughout the flight? If no, please explain why
Depends, are you old enough to know what is going on, and why you shouldn't do that?
>Depends, are you old enough to know what is going on, and why you shouldn't do that?
Are the parents of the flesh airhorn?
I and my wife fly first/business, nanny and kids fly coach. I don't have to deal with their nonsense and we all still get to the destination at the same time.
>C. Travel on a private jet
That's for the mega-rich only
You're an entitled homosexual for thinking business class is for adults only kys
Something weird ALWAYS happens when I have a layover in ATL. I was walking to my connecting flight and watched a lady yell at the staff. She had missed her flight by a solid 45 minutes and the plane was already lined up and ready to fly. She was dressed in a mumu and had one of those silk caps. The staff could not make it any clearer that she was in the wrong but she wouldn't have it.
My dad used to fly constantly for business and he always had shit happen to him in Atlanta kek
I've seen a freakout before, but not from another traveler.
>US-Canada land border crossing
>get "randomly selected" for a search
>have to park in a lot and go into the border services office
>no phones allowed in the office
>guy standing in line is using his phone
>US border guard snatches his phone
>"Sir, you can't have your phone here. We'll be taking this."
>the phone's owner is pretty calm about it
>even apologizes like a good Canadian
>"It doesn't matter, sir. We're still taking your phone."
>"Okay, once again, real sorry about that. I wasn't thinking quite right."
>"I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR EXCUSES, SIR!"
>"Okay, okay, I understand."
>"DO YOU WANT US TO SEND YOU BACK TO CANADA? BECAUSE WE CAN DO THAT. YOU NEED TO STOP TALKING, NOW!"
kek. I always love those freakouts by "officials", cause they always try to act calm and professional afterwards as if someone just didn't watch them act like a teenage girl throwing a tantrum.
Undermines the whole image.
Only big freak out I ever saw was from a power-tripping butthole as well.
>Flying out of Philadelphia.
>Waiting in line at security.
>A tiny 50+ year old Asian woman ducks under the queue rope and approaches an idle TSA agent.
>Taps him on the shoulder and asks if he can help her.
>Dude whips around, darts back and puts his palm out like a cop dealing with an aggressive druggie.
>STOP RIGHT THERE MA'AM, DON'T FRICKING MOVE!
>Woman looks bewildered, says she is just worried about missing her flight.
>Dude starts flying off the handle saying she was trying to sneak past security.
>Calls over two other agents.
>Tells them he 'caught' her trying to slip past him.
>Woman is desperately trying to explain what actually happened while the jackass just keeps yelling at her.
Why can't parents just ship their children via UPS or something? Or put it in the pet zone on a plane.
>Why can't parents just ship their children via UPS or something?
This actually used to be a thing in the 1910s.
#bringitback
We really were the greatest country in the world.
I don't travel regularly, but I remember coming home around 2020 in Feburary after some work training, and there was this autist (real autism, not play play autism) that was having a moment as the plane descended. He was beating himself on the head because there was some turbulence. Alternatively I had a moment cause I spilled some diet coke on a legit Buddhist monk's robe who was sitting next to me. Dude was completely chill, but I felt like a 100% butthole, and apologized profusely. Hopefully I didn't incur some fricked up karmic debt cause of that, cause there's plenty of other things the universe could punish me for.
Anon you're already posting on here. Not much lower to get tbqh.
Fair
Also fair
that wouldnt be very nirvana mode of him to turn to you and go "AWW HELL NAW"
One time a woman seated next to me spilled an entire cup of coffee on my legs. Wasn't even mad, it didn't stain my jeans and done is done, but of course I acknowledged in my mind that she was a clutz
Spirit Airlines flight to San Juan. Woman started screaming and punching/slapping the shit out of her husband. He was laughing as she was escorted off the plane.
If there is a screaming child near by I will start gulping air. Do this for like 5 minutes, and you will begin farting 15-20 minutes later if you suppress your burps. Don't ask me how I learned to do this, it's not important.
If the child keeps crying I will go and stand next to the seats with the parent and kid and just release the tainted gaseous contents of my bowels all over them. It's not quite as potent as a real fart that is a byproduct of digestion, but it is still very foul and also has an unnatural aspect that I have been told smells 'disturbing'.
I will just stand next to them and release my gas. I have been asked 'why are you standing there', and I will say 'I'm using the bathroom' (not I am waiting for the bathroom), and they misunderstand and leave it alone.
If the child screams I will gas them out, which causes them to scream even more, but I don't care, I am getting my revenge. If I do have real farts, I will save them and cropdust the parents and the child by walking by them and releasing.
I get my revenge by forcing their infant to inhale shit molecules that were in my rectum. It's what you deserve for bringing your little larva onto a plane. Now they will never be the same, because they have my shit molecules inside them, maybe forever depending on what got scooped up on the way out.
peak shitposting
Why can't people travel then have a child at the destination? Simple as
the last time people tried this trick the hispanic race was created
Children and infants should be straight up banned from red eye flights. Hell - I would even pay extra for dedicated child-free flights.
I dont get why we tip-toe around children? Airlines will strap you to a chair and label you a terrorist if you speak out of turn on a flight. They'll straight up exterminate your dog if it doesnt fall within their 0.0001 point specifications. They'll charge you for luggage being 1gram overweight and just as well lock you up for life if they find a CBD gummy in your bag.
Im not even asking for extremes, but have SOME measures in place.
I'm 2m tall and feel like freaking out when the people in the seat in front of me slam the seat as far down as possible the moment they're allowed to.
I never lean my seat back out of respect for the person behind me. I'm too tall to lean my head back too, so I just sit for however long the flight is.
I fricking hate people.
Sup fellow tall gay. What I like to do in this situation is breathe heavily on the top of their head to make them uncomfortable, hope this helps.
Wish I could do that, don't have it in me. I'm also terrified of flying, so I just sit and tense up with fear and rage for however long the flight is. I'm rather sweaty and knackered by the time the plane lands.
You'd figure tall people like us would have an incentive to make money to afford better seats, but I'm a moron.
unfortunately the only thing for us tallgays to do is fly biz/first where possible. coach is unavoidable suffering
It is. The price tag of biz/first is too steep though for someone who only makes 60-70k. I have begun springing for emergency exit rows for the extra inches. Or if Im flying domestic I'll joke with the gate agent about looking like a monster from Space Jam and see if there's any extra legroom or free space in the exit rows for me, 80% of the time they'll oblige because they know it sucks to have your knees pressed against the seat in front of you for hours
Only seen one and it was pathetic
> easy jet
> one of the last guys on flight has booked first row
> no space in overhead locker above
> tells the cabin crew lady she must find a space for his bag
> she says no, he has to find a space, there is some about four rows back
> ……rrrrrrreeeeeeEEEEEEE
> the guy starts pulling out someone else’s bag
> it belongs to Chad, six foot five, ten thousand pounds of muscle, who reaches up from his seat and holds his bag in place
> “no sir like the lady said you have to go back” (really. Anon insults on a plane)
> starts cursing at the flight attendant “my fricking bag goes there! YOU take it!”
> pilot man comes out
> “is there a problem here?”
> “yes fricking no fricking bag space FRICK”
> pilot asks him to say that again without swearing, last chance or you are off
> angry guy realises he has lost and sheepishly goes up the aisle with his bag
> no space now until 3/4 way down the plane
> flight uneventful
> plane lands
> everyone with an aisle seat starts fussing in the lockers as soon as the wee light comes on
> angry guy starts shoving and screaming again when no one lets him through
> oh no someone called the rozzers
> gets nicked
I can no longer tolerate cattle class as a lanky oldgay. Exit row at least, business preferable. First is for insecure bourgeois twats though
So if you're on say a domestic 737 or a320 where the only options are first or coach, will you stay in coach to avoid being an 'insecure bourgeois twat'?
>NOOOO STOP USING THE SEAT YOU PAID FOR

Some old German b***h riding in my minibus in Cambodia went absolutely berzerk at the driver for driving too fast (like every fricking driver in Asia). She exploded out of nowhere giving the guy abuse and trying to get the rest of us on her side. The driver just gave her shit back in Khmer and laughed. When she was ignored by the rest of us she started ranting in German and spent the next 2 hours sporadically talking to herself before she finally calmed down.
>(like every fricking driver in Asia)
what is wrong with them though, seriously? they drive at speeds that are certain death if they collide with anything, and make an accident inevitable instead of avoidable
I hate these moronic monkey speed demons so much
Pretty much all commercial drivers in SEA are high on yaba (meth). Not only does it make you more alert and sharpen your reflexes, but it also makes you feel invincible. That's the main reason they all drive like fricking lunatics
This is not a problem unique to Asia. Ever driven in Paris? The place where 12 streets merge into a single roundabout with no formal lanes?
Flying through Frankfurt from US to Berlin
>Two hour layover and flight already one hour delayed since NYCs airport fricking sucks at logistics.

>Airline won't do anything to help
>I say frick it and take a train from Frankfurt to Berlin.
>it leaves on time and no hassle
Frick Frankfurts airport. I didn't freak out but I was super pissed off.
security has two lines open for literally 2000+ people
This happened to me at Heathrow last year. I was furious at first but once you got to a certain point they let you cut in line if your flight was leaving within an hour, so it wasn't that bad.
Still, it's the longest line of people I've ever seen.
Why didn't you just check the status from your phone in line
I only got updates until 30 minutes after my flight was scheduled to leave.
That's gay as all hell
Flew through Frankfurt to Japan on February, I got picked for random extra checks, made me go all the way to a security stand where they test liquids and stuff for drugs, German agent looks at me, asks me if I'm in a hurry and just releases me with no tests at all, was even very kind to tell me the fastest way to my terminal and that I should probably run since I was running late. I just didn't expect any kindness from Germans
Germans are people too.
Years ago when I was waiting for my flight I saw two toddlers from different families playing in the gate and when it was time to board one of them obediently walked up to his dad and stood there quietly while the other pitched a fit and started screaming. The parent of the screaming child just stood there and ignored it.
Not a flight/airline story, but when I was visiting Chicago a few years ago I was out pretty late at night riding the Blue Line to Bucktown to go to a club, some black guy walked on the train at a random stop, made a beeline for a woman sitting in the back of the car, and just stared beating the shit out of her relentlessly. Went at her for a solid 45 seconds before somebody finally intervened.
Chicago is fricking insane.
Have you seen this new trend of inner city youth forming mobs and trashing department stores and public events?
Umm diversity is our strength and they are allowed to do that because of years of oppression. Check your privilege sweetie.
I've seen some mild-mid level meltdowns at airports but nothing too wild. I sat next to a flight attendant on a flight during covid and I asked her what her wildest story was
>shes working a flight, everyone has boarded
>pilot is gonna be late, he has to fill out paperwork, they announce it to plane
>everyone groans but whatever
>boomer stands up in his seat and starts telling jokes to plane
>nice idea but no one wants to hear his shit right now
>attendants keep asking him to sit down but he keeps it up
>pilot finally shows up after an hour, everyone cheers
>"hi everyone, im captain joe and my forms are all done so lets go!"
>boomer stands up in his seat
>"aw captain joe, why the heck you lyin to everyone! you know you werent doing no paperwork, we was doin shots of patron at the airport chilis and i left you there so i could get on my flight, and you stayed behind!"
>entire flight crew drop their jaws and turn to boomer
>some FAA law says that any implication of a pilot being impaired results in cancellation of flight, pilot has to get quarantined and take piss test
>people start rushing the boomer and trying to frick him up
>complete strangers working together to murder the boomer
>flight crew trying to save this guy but also kind of want him dead too
>airport police have to come escort him off the plane separate from everyone else
>flying home from Germany to Australia
>there's this one loud african guy
>talk to him a little, he's cashed up from crypto or some shit and starting a new job too
>making a mild scene over baggage weight, but it's whatever
>land in singapore for next leg of journey
now this is where I'm not sure exactly what happened. I saw him again talking to people, just being loud and flashing newly bought airport goods, phones and whatever the frick else. again no big deal.
>board flight
>suddenly he really wants to talk to cabin crew
>they tell him to take his seat
>he starts walking down and intimidating this flight attendant
>making a huge scene over stuff he bought, maybe extra bags he couldn't take on board with him
>he keeps trying to escalate things
>eventually watch him get escorted off and left in singapore
Nearly every time I am in Tampa or other florida airport but tampa's the worst. Not a specific freak out but something almost always with spanish/Caribbean people
>Spanish family with 0 English freaking out at the gate about not being able to board the gate even with a spanish announcement stating group 9 is last
>People from DR/PR or some other piss ant island drunk as shit and flipping out about not being allowed on the plane
>plane is slightly bumpy all the elderly spanish start going OOOOO AAAAA and panicking
>plane lands and all the non english speakers instantly attempt to get up and grab their shit even while still rolling on the runway
>those boomer PR who always show up at the gate at DEPARTURE time and start to go on a rant about how they showed up at the ticket time but were clearly sitting at the bar near the gate drinking
>mexican family who at each group call attempt to get on the plane even though it's the wrong group and get pissy
You are dealing with sub-80 IQ mongrels, anon. It's inevitable that something will come up. And then you arrive in their countries, see the sorry state that they live in and it all starts to click.
I don't have a problem with crying babies as long a I see that the parents are really trying to make them stop. But all to often you get parents that just ignore it so the babie screams for a long ass time, that's why I'd be for a baby-ban on flight longer than around 4 hours
this fricking thread
what on earth is wrong with you people
What do you mean "you" people? Fricking racist
this guy died on my flight from Malaga to Paris. Had a heart attack with about 15min left on the flight and just slumped over. Shit was weird
this has never happened to me but i know someone who has seen it
basically someone died on a long haul flight. like over the atlantic ocean
there was nowhere else to put the body so they put them in a body bag (apparently they always have them on flights) and put them in one of the lie flat seats in business class
they put up the divider between the seats but even so the guy in the next seat is probably thinking i paid for business class and now i have to lie next to a dead person for like 5 hours
apparently on some planes they have a separate special little closet for storing dead people
The modern world does everything it can to distract you from the reality that everyone will die and death could be much sooner than we expect. Once reality reads it’s head it’s not some soft landing but a massive gapping rock destroying all it touches.
Love and live life to the fullest.
A lot of people have strokes and heart attacks when they fly. You sit for a long time and you get clots in your legs. The clot breaks loose and goes right to your brain or heart. It happens to literally thousands of people every year and it's rarely talked about.
There are something like 400 million flights in the US per year. I don't think a single person has been killed in the last 3 years in the US from a commercial airline accident. If people knew how dangerous it was to sit for such a long time, they would definitely get up and walk around every 2 hours.
Saw an Orthodox israelite threaten to sue the airline on the way to Israel for not serving him Kosher… wish I was making it up.
To be fair, what airline flying to Israel would be stupid enough to NOT serve kosher meals? That's just bad business.
jesus christ SighSee is going down in the rankings
how can someone not see that this guy is just baiting
yet we've had well over a hundred posts at this point about babies
look in a mirror
I saw a Western (USA or UK I think) Black lady freak out in an airport in Egypt due to security needing to check her bags again (in risky part of Egypt flying out of country).
She got BTFOed by the Security team who hauled her out of there - don't try to make a stink and yell discrimination in an arab country where they put b***hes in their place.
I bet she is still in jail, dumb ass.
>black lady in Egypt
She was kangs n shit
>they put b***hes in their place
We should import Arab security to the US to keep the airport chimpouts under control
In one last week, I was actually part of the issue, though not intending to be
Me and my mom were getting on a flight but booked separately and didn't have adjacent seats, so we asked at the gate if we could be adjacent. We get new seats, but one's occupied - her ticket was literally for that seat. And my mom's old seat already had someone in it, so the flight attendents proceeded to kick her out out of her seat (thankfully, it was a middle seat and she switched to an aisle, so not too bad) . I'll leave the airline nameless since they've only done good to me, even if they're shitty to others
Yeah me, its like the only time I ever freaked out in public.
I arrived wildly early to the airport since I heard there was going to be issues for my flight. I got into the airport and there was a line with exactly one customer service person trying to help like 15 people. I got stuck between two people who did nothing but complain and whine about being in line for hours while their stupid little rat dogs kept barking at each other. The lady in front me who count not stop b***hing about waiting, proceeded to take 45 minutes asking the same question but reworded to get something out of the agent. I quickly got my refund since at that point the flight was completely cancelled and headed out.
Since I was in the airport for like 3 hours, the long term parking people weren't going to let me out without paying their stupid fees. So I finally snapped and yelled at the attendant who choose to be sassy from the very start, before I got angry.
I only got out because I made it clear I was just going to break their stupid gate thing, and they valued the gate more than their fee. I don't use long term parking anymore out of the fear that I'll run into that person again and I don't want to deal with that.
Based gatecrasher. Frick these parking price gougers.

you're supposed to be subtle my guy; not write a fricking essay
And then everyone clapped and the baby got a Nobel prize.
>putting in this much effort just to be racist
you're like those people who repeatedly mention they do crossfit or drive a hybrid
I wasn't racist until I started traveling
>repeatedly mention they do crossfit
lol I work with a woman like this
oooh you're a newbie; that explains why you're trying so hard
>oooh you're a newbie; that explains why you're trying so hard
>Nigs with ten suitcases and cellophane wrapped boxes
It's usually brown people that I see doing the cellophane thing where I live. Must be a third world thing.
It definitely is. I travel through the Persian Gulf region quite frequently, and out here, it's mostly pajeets that I see doing that shit.
No, but we met some Germans on the way to Canada and their plane had to make an emergency landing in Manchester because some guy was on cocaine and causing a scene.
was on a flight I think out of Qatar and the Black person lady next to my seat was shaking her baby to stop it from crying and when I ased her wtf shes doing she starts speaking gaboon language and gets really angry
My very first long distance flight had something happen, though maybe a freakout would be too strong. It was a flight from Europe to Thailand and as is a common theme here, there was a baby that cried pretty much the whole trip. I was in the aisle seat and the mom kept going up and down the aisle with the baby, trying to calm it down. The dude right next to me was getting visibly more and more irate and eventually he snapped and started yelling at the mom. Which ended up with her coming up right next to me and yelling back at the dude. I've never felt like a bigger cuck than when I was just sitting there stuck between two people going off at eachother.
That really set my expectations low for what long distance flights are like, but as it turns out it's just that the trashiest Europeans all want to go to Thailand, so it's on those flights you'll find them. My many flights after this have all been uneventful.
Sounds like the guy acted like a Black person. Best case scenario the baby just keep screaming because you blew your top. Worst case scenario the flight attendants overreact and take action against you
Absolutely, all it did was make the situation worse. This was on Thai Airways though, where the flight attendants seem like total doormats.
I wish there were many more heroes like that guy. Bullying people with babies off planes altogether seems the only reasonable choice
Except he didnt bully anyone off the plane, he just screamed in midair and could have caused a diversion/forced landing if he continued or escalated (his screaming at a baby)
Never understood why they don't just give these babies sedatives or something.
I wont fly Jet Blue but would if he was on every flight.
I fly from Bozeman , Montanna down Key West every year around mid October.

I had a panic attack in an airport because I'm afraid of flying and I didn't want to get on a 5 hour flight. I started crying like a homosexual baby and was on the phone trying to get a rental car or train ticket so I could get back to work. My parents called and tried to calm me down. I finally got my shit together and got on that last flight and we hit a big storm. Lights and screens were going out (pitch black for several seconds) and the speakers were making some very odd radio chatter sounds. It didn't help one bit with my fears, only gave me trauma.
I'm sorry that happened anon, something like that would scare the shit out of anyone.
sort yourself out, homosexual
death is omnipresent, moron. accept that fact and thank god/shiva/buddha/allah/your funko pop collection for the gift of another beautiful day on this plane of existence. or don't, and live in fear until you croak. i prefer the former for your own sake but it's ultimately your life and your decision
you are not living if you are not in the presence of constant danger or death. Learn to live with this reality because that is the default. We aren't meant to live in constant safety and comfort- infact, you should feel that something isn't right if everything is about safety and comfort. The default is pain, hardship and death. If you get anything extra or pleasureable while you're here that itself is a luxury not afforded to everyone. Be lucky you can even post here like this. Afraid of a plane ride? Frick's sake bro
get this hothead outta here
I live in Somalia
Holy frick take a Xanax and shut up
When covid started there a doomer woman which refused to put on a mask. Everybody was shouting her to get the mask so we can finally go she was just smiling,. After 30 minutes cops finally escorted her out.
Normies
>my infant screaming is perfectly normal and everyone should put up with it
Also normies
>this adult man screaming is making me uncomfortable, I am putting this on /r/publicfreakouts.
Breathtaking hypocrisy, but what else can you expect from jabcattle?
Seeing the complete disregard for human decency, or empathy for another person from the people itt that literally have to cart their babies on planes constantly for some reason makes it so much worse. If I was responsible for making an entire plane miserable for an hours long flight I’d feel terrible about it. They don’t give a single frick.
This guy gets it.
They really don't. In most instances other normie parents compliment people who bring babies on flights, so if anything it gasses them up more. Even if the baby screams for hours, when they board they will be treated with smiles and compliments on the fact that a woman managed to take multiple hot loads of cum inside of her and really did not achieve anything of note.
At least you're acknowledging that you're the maladjusted freak
I'm going to shit on the next crying infant I see
When I was on a family trip in my teens some random woman sitting at a fountain in a busy square in Rome started screaming Italian nonsense at my dad unprovoked. The waiter working nearby told us she was crazy. No idea what set her off since we were just walking by quite a distance away from her but laughed the whole thing off.
I saw some drunk martsharter boomer having a complete meltdown over his Filipina wife in Anda beach in Bohol. Couldn’t quite make out what he was saying, but it had something to do with her being upset over him flirting other women.
Saw him being escorted out by securities while some other women comforted the crying wife.
Also not exactly a freak out but there was this nice small hotel in Romblon owned by a Filipina and her Belgian boomer partner(not married).
The guy was nice, but it was clear he was a fricking autist from the way he was talking, and even though the resort was under the Filipina’s name and almost exclusively managed by her, he was still the one responsible for hiring and the finances as it was built on his money.
Quickly we learned that the Filipina felt so hopeless and stressed because her moronic husband wouldn’t bother hiring anyone extra for the bar in the morning so she has to stay up from 5am to 11pm.
Also the guy was had shitton of pension funds he could use, but he never bothered to redeem it because “he had to go back to Belgium, and he was scared that he will be unable to go back”.
The “freakout” part of this story, though, is that every evening, WITH GUESTS AROUND, he would sit down with his wife and talk loudly about how “she was killing herself slowly working like this”, even smashing his fist on the table, when he could just hire another worker to help them out.
FFW a few months ago, she ended up seperating from him, and as the hotel is under her name, she is operating it all by herself with great success. She clearly loved him, but couldn’t take the burden of his stubbornness anymore.
Meanwhile the boomer is fricking dumb for wasting his whole inheritance on something that is not his, but is dating a former employee much to the woman’s dismay.
>screaming baby discourse is STILL going on
I came here to read funny flight stories you tards
I paid for my flight. I expect it to be quiet and on time. It's the agreement of the airline to silence all distribution of sound. Babies crying aren't my problem to solve but the airlines. They are responsible for letting them on the plane many times FOR FREE. How the frick is that fair? I paid for my flight and they didn't.
I hate babies more than anyone in this thread but the discourse is moronic, ignore normalgays and their baby simping will ya
Some guy started talking shit to an elderly lady sitting next to him while we were taxiing out. Apparently he didn't say a word until we got moving and began saying how he was going to frick her up when they took off. Like he wasn't screaming, he just leaned into her and started threatening to beat her ass. She somehow got the flight attendants attention who told the captain and we went back to the gate. A couple of cops and what I'm guessing was like the airport's Queen Flight Attendant came onboard, power-walked straight to him, told him to stand up and walk out. After he was off the plane, the captain got on the intercom and explained what happened. Other passengers started chirping about it and a couple of guys nearby started getting imaginative about what would have happened if he started it while we were in the air, if he had a weapon, what if he tried to open the door, "I heard this one story... and everyone died" etc. And this lady who was already obviously nervous about flying before all of this told them (in a nice way) to shut the hell up.
COVID had just started, but it was still possible to fly. A sickly looking fat lady on the flight puked and drizzled a teenager girl of a family who were all wearing masks and sanitising every 5 minutes. The girl starts freaking out saying she wants to get off the plane and crying about the bits of puke that got on her, which I admit is gross, but it sounded like she just contacted some infectious disease and was about to turn into a zombie. I was chilling and laughing at the incident on Xanax.
>day 3 of talking about her (male) xanax addiction
shut the frick up already homosexual.
>but it sounded like she just contacted some infectious disease and was about to turn into a zombie
if a fat subhuman piece of shit puked on you then there's a good chance she had norovirus or something highly infectious. Fat fricks should be euthanized.
The worst thing I ever saw was in Prague when some Turkroach looking dudes got into a fight over some shit on the tram
Some surly b***h was giving me evils yesterday on my flight because I had to lift the armrest up to sit down. We both paid the same for this flight, honey, you don't get to be picky.
I tried being nice to her, saying hello and how are you in her own language, but she just ignored me.
Fricking hate entitles pricks who think they're better than everybody. Pretty sure she was typing nasty shit to her boyfriend on Whatsapp as we were taking off.
Not quite a chimpout, but these microaggressions are just as bad sometimes.
fatass
Why would you ever need to put the armrest up to sit down?
it digs into me sometimes when I'm sitting. It's ok for short flights, but if I'm doing something long haul like 3 hours, then I'm worried it might be a problem. Especially when my baggage takes up all the space under the seat, I really get claustophobic, sweaty and agitated.
Planes really need to be looked at in the EU, I think it's unsanitary to give people so little space and force people to be squashed up next to each other.
I felt really uncomfortable having to touch another human for the whole flight.
>it digs into me sometimes when I'm sitting.
fatass
>I felt really uncomfortable having to touch another human for the whole flight.
I'm sure the other normal-sized human felt really uncomfortable having a fat disgusting blob like you touching them for the entire flight too, subhuman fricker
I saw a black woman lose her shit when her fake ticket was denied entry on the bus at the Atlanta greyhound station at midnight on Thursday. That was fun.
I yelled at crying baby once and got kicked off a flight. it's not worth it bros
Why would you post lies on the internet?
Last week, flying back to the US from Amsterdam via Iceland, had a chain boomer blowup. The Icelandair check-in was shared with Transavia but the way they did the line wasn't clear. As a result, a number of Icelandair passengers were in the wrong line, causing a little chain reaction of minor meltdowns by American boomers.
The big one was an old couple with a ton of checked bags. The woman was in a wheelchair being pushed by airport assistance. They cut in front us when learning they were in the wrong line. Some issue with their oversized wheelchair ended with the man screaming and yelling, while the workers tried to speak to each other in Dutch. He yelled at them about not understanding them, to which they responded in English that they were not talking to him. The guy pushing the wheelchair kept looking at me and my friend and making faces lmao.
All of this was a waste because our flight was still three hours from departing and a 15 minute security experience away. Had a good laugh about it though.
No, because I NEVER fly coach like I never buy a cheap steak.
I was flying from Geneva to LAX. This French b***h pushes past us in line as we're boarding the plane. I gave her a little hip check as she passed and knocked her into the wall. She continues pushing her way onto the plane. We had assigned seats, so it made zero sense. Once we were in our seats, she immediately gets into an altercation as someone asks her to get out of his seat. She won't comply and the flight attendants get involved. It didn't last long. The police boarded the plane and ripped her right out of her seat 2 minutes later and dragged her off the plane. I could smell her disgusting body odor for 10 minutes after she was gone.
A month ago I returned home to Israel from Denmark. The airport has completely substituted passport control for natives with biometric checks that are usually very fast and easy. On that day though, the machines weren't working. Not like the power was off, just that they rejected everyone that tried to use them. This also affected foreigners too apparently.
Naturally this caused a massive pile up of people, and there was a massive freak out in which people were screaming at apathetic airport staff, screaming at each other for not letting others attempt to go through.
The worst thing was that it seemed like the machines had a 1% success rate, turning the whole thing to a massive skinner box.
Eventually it turned out that passport machines near the entry gates worked so I went there and there was one russian granny who tried to cut in line, and when she was told off she screamed DAVAI BLYAT YOU ISRAELIS AND YOUR LINES
Fun times
How's the weather in Tel Aviv?
Summer's starting so it's about to get very hot and humid. On our last days of pleasant spring days
