    Or… and this might be a crazy concept… take some responsibility for yourself and buy your own ear plugs if you’re flying and expect to be boarded with children.

      No shit. No disrespect to the OP or anything, but do people just forget that kids exist and are sometimes noisy? It’s not like planes are some holy institution that was just declared open to minors last Tuesday or something. If a crying toddler is going to send you into an irrational rage, it’s probably YOU who shouldn’t be willingly climbing into a metal tube with 150 random strangers who are equally entitled to be there.

        Exactly. As a wise man (my highschool welding teacher) once said to me:

        a failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

        If you get on an airplane in 2023 without the bare minimum of personal preparedness, you deserve whatever happens to you.
