Why are we ejecting Lynda?

She brought a bag of chips and just will not stop noisily eating while you're trying to nap, obviously.

Am I the only one who wears earplugs on an airplane? Planes are loud as fuck and it’s exhausting. I always wear earplugs, and put noise cancelling headphones over them.

She sits in the window seat, goes to the toilet every 27 minutes, and refuses all offers to switch with the aisle seat.

She took both arm rests and is acting entitled about it

Okay but looks like a middle seat so I think it's fair they get both armrests. It's like a consolation prize for having the worst spot

People say Delta is cutting edge with this, but Spirit has been doing this on a barter system for years.

Linda is fine. Her non-stop crying baby on the other hand...

When my kids were infants, the last 1hr flight left em cranky and tired. At midnight, the cabin lights were dim and my son was wailing. My wife and I felt so bad for him and the fellow passengers as we tried desperately to comfort him. I vividly recall looking up and seeing quite a few weary, yet smiling faces as folks quietly supported us. That moment has stayed with me, and if you have a crying infant on a plane you'll get nothing but quiet support from me.

I was on a flight where the parents of a one year old brought a big bag of those cheap yellow and red ear plugs and just started passing them around the cabin. We amazingly didn't need them, but I have never forgotten that gesture. I'm pretty sure the flight attendants gave them all the drinks they wanted just for that.

I get it. I guarantee you, though, that Linda is having a much, much worse time than you are with the baby.

Nothing like being at ground zero and having nothing work and everyone on the plane judge you.

My kids were pretty good as infants on planes, but every peep they make makes you feel like major inconvenience

Wtf hellscape is this? Is this like the last chopper out of Saigon or something?

It’s some techno-libertarian’s wet dream
