Worse to be next to on a plane. Bad breath guy or

I don't mind BO or bad breath. I can turn my head. Don't mind the large people either, as long as they are not literally in my seat. A little overhang ain't no thing in my book. I'm not afraid of touching people. Our culture's too touch-a-phobic IMO.

But anyway, yeah, I hate young children on flights. Even if they don't "act up", they still tend to talk loudly or annoyingly, squirm, etc, while everyone around them is in severely claustrophobic conditions. Unless you've got them doped up on benadryl so they sleep for the duration, small children just CONSISTENTLY make flights annoying at the very least for other people. Even the best behaved. It's just how children are, and the extenuating circumstances of the situation.

You know what though?

REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD WHEN AIRLINES DIDN'T PUT YOU IN SUBHUMAN CONDITIONS?

How about we just complain about how we can't seem to make them bring that back?

Bo because I can look away for the bad breath guy at least. I hate bad breath, and usually try and offer the person a mint when they have it, but I doubt I will be chatting up the bad-breath guy next to me lol.Bo would suck though, since I can't escape xD

Totally thought your screen name said "I love vagina"

Kids that kick the back of the seat the whole time are bad.

But, the worst flight I've been on was sitting next to the guy who was drunk when he got on the plane, continued drinking during the flight, so I had to endure his drunken conversation, to have him then pass out, snoring, on my shoulder.

Yeah, that was fun,

Old person wearing a dirty diaper, happened to me once, worst 5 hours flight ever!

Awwww...I know everyone has experienced an irritating kid on a flight before, but I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I mean, think about all the thoughts going through our minds, "Oh my gosh this guy's breath stinks, this girl has BO, that couple is talking so loudly, I am hungry, I have to pee, but I don't want to get up, my back hurts, my leg hurts, where's the flight attendant with the drink cart?" I could go on and on. Little kids express this on a plane by crying and whining. Grown ups mostly hold it inside and fume over it. The ones that don't...well, they end up getting tasered by the Marshall on the plane.

That said, to choose between these two, BO would bother me more than bad breath...unless the bad breath is so offensive that it seeps out through the nose or the person is a ridiculous mouth breather. At least BO tends to smell sort of onionlike which makes me think of the way it smells when one saute's onions for a delicious cheese steak or something.

Edited to add: My son who is now 6 1/2 has flown almost every year since he was 9 months old. Every time we fly I worry, "is this going to be the time he is the kid everyone hates." Every time he is super well behaved and even has new adult friends by the time the flight is over. We've even had people give him little trinkets as gifts because he's so sweet and fun.

I could care less about any just don't sit me next to a f'n chatterbox!

I'm actually okay with crying babies. Babies cry, that's life.

Wow. You might just be my new hero!

Not heroic but my problems are with people who are inconsiderate. Babies don't know what's going on. I feel bad for the parent trying to get somewhere, the kids crying and all he or she gets is dirty looks. Hey we were all babies once and annoyed someone with our crying. Karma.

Bad BO guy?

I am still wondering what BO stands for.

I'm usually quite shmammerd on long flights so - neither, but don't you dare sit me next to a prude - that'll kill my very expensive air plane buzz...
