I was flying back home last week and there was this guy with a 2 years old on the seat across the aisle next to me. The toddler never stopped screaming and crying the whole flight. As an added bonus, all of a sudden, there is this putrid feces smell permeating the air all around us. Sure enough, the asshole is changing her diaper right on the seat.

There is a change tables in the bathroom you fucking moron, USE IT.

I can't believe people would be so ignorant.


That is all.

Considering that even when aircraft have changing tables in the lavatory, they are designed as infant changing tables, not toddlers. Indeed, they are only like 20 or 21" wide, barely enough for a small newborns, much less a 30-36" toddler. Maybe if you stopped being a judgemental asshat about things, you world realize that there was likely a reason why the parent was doing it that way. They were probably already stressed enough about traveling via air with small child, because often it's because there is a reason to do so (death or family emergency, etc) and now they need to put up with people like you also.

I saw a guy at a Chipotle changing his kid's diaper ON AN EATING TABLE outside. :mad:


I hate people.



And can't we just get "kid free" flights? You people that want to travel with these annoying things can travel on the "kids" flight. Then they can yell and shit and scream and you guy would all understand one another and be happy. :rolleyes: I'd definitely pay more for a "child free" flight, and hope they would bundle it with a "fatass free" flight.

if you see a parent, especially a single parent, on a plane with a screaming child, you should have some sympathy.

it's hard enough traveling with kids, but then to get stares and comments is rubbing salt into a wound.

do you think they like being in that situation? wouldn't you think they would quiet the baby down if they could?!? have some compassion.

dont have kids then. SEriously.

Sounds like your problem, not mine. Again why are you subject me to shitty parts of you having kids?

babies don't come with instructions and I for one wouldn't assume a bathroom in an airplane would have a changing table.

when you become a parent, you gotta do what you gotta do.

thats just retarded.

no they don't come with instructions. But if you do not have common sense you shouldn't have kids.

If you do not know if it has a changing table GO FUCKING CHECK. 90% of the places around have t hem. guess what? they also have them in the MALE restroom!

Gross! 5 things not to do on a plane



Yes people, changing a diaper on the seat is on the list.

I had to LOL when this story was on the list, "Toenail clippers,
An unsettling number of travelers report witnessing other passengers clipping toenails mid-flight. Jill Bazeley of Merritt Island, Fla., can’t forget the “scruffy-looking fellow” she sat next to on a flight from Denver to San Diego. “Through an hour or so of studious picking at his filthy feet, he managed to deposit an unpleasant bounty of skin peelings on the cabin floor,” said Bazeley."

Have you been on an aeroplane?

Have you been in an aeroplane toilet?

Have you seen how big a 2 year old is?

similar to another thread - if you don't have kids of your own - STFU

if you want to avoid kids on planes - drive yourself - just like you said they should drive - maybe you should be the one driving, not subjecting people to your 'i'm a princess' bullshit

Meh, I usually just get the steward/ess to get me another G&T and not worry about stuff.

People stress way too much about stupid shit (literally in this thread).

Why the fuck would a 2 year old still need a gawd-damned diaper?

I have kids...they're grown and one has kids of her own.

People with children have the responsibility to control their children, to not inconvenience other people because of their children, and to respect some basic common sense "rules" about having kids.

Change diapers in the bathroom or other "non-public" place. No one wants to smell your little shit's shit.

If your child cries, remove it from the public place if possible. That means restaurants, movie theaters, etc. In a plane, take it to the bathroom. (flush it for extra points)

If your children play outside, set boundaries for them that doesn't include playing in my yard or on my vehicles. I AM the kind of ass hole who will hold you responsible for any damages your sweet little angels might cause.

Unfortunately, the younger "Me-Me-Me" generations don't seem to understand common courtesy...especially when it comes to their special little spawn.

So much entitlement mentality from parents these days...

I don't need your kid to be silent the whole trip, but I also shouldn't be subjected to the sight and smell of their shit.

As a parent, I find it fucked up that someone would change a diaper in the seat like that. Use the damn changing table.

It doesn't matter though, because the same people that do that shit, and the people that defend doing that shit are all the same. Inconsiderate fucks who show no respect for anyone and could give two shits about the person next to them. They'd rather everyone see the shitty diaper and smell it then take the extra ten seconds to wipe down the changing table or whatever they need to wipe down to do it in the bathroom. Fuck inconveniencing myself for ten seconds when I can just inconvenience everyone else instead.

Fuck inconsiderate people, die in a fire, slowly and painfully so I can watch and smile.

Dude, seriously, calm down. Your going to end up having a stroke by the age of 50 if you carry on like that. Then it will be you having your diaper changed in public.

I've donated generous amounts of sperm since I was 18 so statistically I'm bound to have some genetic offspring out there... does that count?:rolleyes: (it's an easy extra 600 dollars a month)

You're a parent and don't know this? The average age of potty training is around 2.5 years (29 months for girls, 31 for boys). There seem to be a lot of "parents" in this thread that are pretty oblivious about babies in general and what's involved with changing diapers on a plane in particular.

Can't help it, because these are the same people that will cut you off in traffic, talk on their phone in the theater, won't hold a door open for someone, will back up traffic for ten minutes waiting for a parking spot, will pick up a box of spiral macaroni and cheese and put it right in front of the regular mac and cheese so the next guy grabs the wrong kind, won't flush a toilet, won't pick up the paper towel they dropped on the floor next to the trash...and on and on and on.
