Brat.





Shit like this pisses me off. A couple boards a plane and can't control their three-year-old (she's screaming, hitting them, and refusing to buckle up). The crew kicks them off as they're delaying the flight and can't take off with a person unbuckled. The airline not only refunds their money, they give them three roundtrip tickets anywhere the airline flies. The couple has been touring Good Morning America and shit complaining how they will now boycott the airline.

The wife complained she didn't have enough time to "hold and console" her kid? Bitch, please. A plane boards at least 20 minutes before take-off, you know they was one of the first ones to board (elderly and families first!), and then this family delayed the flight by 15 minutes before getting the boot. If you can't manage to plop your kid in a seat and buckle her up in a half hour, what the hell do you do when you're in your car?

You just know that kid's a holy terror. And the rest of the flight is supposed to just sit and wait while the parents try to reason with their little princess? Fuck that shit. My mom would have given me The Look (That Threatens A Spanking) and buckled me in. Done and done.

Best part - here's a screencap from Good Morning America. They couldn't even get her to sit still for a 30 second interview. Probably didn't want to hurt her feelings or something.

OMG. I wouldn't have put them on tv. Except maybe to ridicule them.

I would have NEVER gotten away with that kind of behaviour when I was a kid. They should have popped the kid some Gravol - my sister does that for her little hellion.

I would pay a fare premium to be on a plane with no children.

i can't believe they think that the airline is in the wrong. and i can't believe that they think that everyone on the plane would have been fine with waiting. on top of that do you think this copule would be willing to pay the gate fees to the airport for the late departure or the fees for a late arrival at the destination (that the airline would be responsible for)? yeah i didn't think so.

I LOVE the flight attendant that slipped a Xanax into a kid's apple juice to shut him/her up.

Too bad he got caught.

Drives me insane when my kids misbehave in public. This one may need young-Ned Flanders therapy.
