It's amazing how thoughtless and selfish some people are. I young woman in front of me had a child who was pretty disruptive, but for some time I was able to distract him and he eventually calmed down. As soon as he did the woman punched the recline button and literally slammed the seat down. If I had been using anything other than a netbook it would have been toast. And as a reasonably tall guy my knees certainly didn't appreciate it.

This is why we can't have nice things.




It's possible she wasn't thoughtless and selfish, but that she simply didn't know better.
