Really? The most annoying people who've sat adjacent to me on flights have been adults. Overflowing into my space, opening their newspapers into my space, playing their ghastly noise through raspy hissy headphones, farting, belching, sniffing, picking their noses, breathing halitosis and garlic laden breath over me, non-stop talking, trying to convert me, fidgeting, spilling drinks, falling asleep lolling over me. Children are far more pleasant travel companions.
Well said. You missed snoring. I wish I could have swapped the guy on my last flight for a crying baby.
It would seem that on this whole issue a strategic upgrade might be the solution. I think I could manage to cope with `excuse me sir we think you might be a threat to this child could you please accompany me to first class' without taking offense. At least if I was starting in my usual economy class seat. Of course the guy in question had his wife with him who seemed to want the window seat due for some reason I assume related to her pregnancy. So swap the child with someone else.
