This is so cliche, but it happens all the time: sitting within 3 or 4 rows of someone with their unruly children! Argh! Screaming, running, crying, throwing things, dropping food all over the floor, backtalking, pulling sibling's hair, etc. - it's a nightmare. I even tried once to help a lady who had three little ones with her; I took the oldest one, who might have been 4, so she could feed the baby, but after five minutes of his shrieking I wanted to kill the little brat.

I have suffered all of the above and will add a few through experience that may jog some memories:

* Guy in front keeps leaning back and putting upright his seat while you are trying to use the table.
* You get a seat that does not have all the 'extras' - blanket, pillow, magazine or ear phones
* You are seated in between two people that have attitude
* You are on a row isle and the person near the window constantly wants to pass by you to go to the toilet
* Someone next to you is engaging someone in conversation so loud that you can hardly get any sleep
* The whole plane is dark, but the person next to you decides they will turn on their light at 3am

Any memories jogged?
