Okay... in a restaurant or movie (just last night I rolled my eyes at a fussy kid at a 10p movie), yeah, you can remove your kid, do whatever you have to do. It's usually less than $50 bucks, and usually there's some room to adjust.

But she was on a PLANE on her way to go somewhere... had paid at least a hundred bucks or so. If the plane is taxi-ing, he's only been on there a few minutes. What a judgment call that stewardess made... wow. 10 minutes and she's decided she knows best? What a cunt. I would have had to restrain myself from slapping her upside the head. I think certain situations need a little more understanding. A little more patience.

Do I want a screaming kid on my flight? Of course not. Neither does the parent, I'm sure. If they could get the kid to shut up, I'm sure they would. Are they an incompetent parent? Possibly, yeah. But the guy in seat 4C with too much cologne on who's making the whole plane smell is a jerk too. So is the idiot talking to someone sitting 5 seats away. Oh, and the 20-somethings in the back who keep going up the aisle and bumping into me. Let's not forget the cart pushers who try to take out anything that's not inside your seat by 5 inches.

People are assholes. Kids are just better at being one than adults. If it were a movie theater, kick 'em out. But a plane has cost too much and involved too much in terms of time, etc.

Just so you know... chances are, you who "don't want to have to put up with someone else's kid" and all that... someone doesn't want to have to put up with you, either.
