Not so funny....

So, here is my soapbox for the week. If you are sitting in an airplane seat next to someone and they are asleep - do NOT wake them up when the flight attendant comes by with drinks. I repeat, DO NOT wake the person up!!!!!!!! I know you mean well, but the person is sleeping for a reason!! If said sleeping person wants a beverage when they wake up, said person can ring the call button!! Also, another helpful hint for you - if you have to poke the sleeping person more than once, he or she does not want to be bothered. Do NOT keep poking them!!!!

While I am on my rant, one other issue. Crying babies - if your baby keeps screaming at the top of his/her lungs for an ENTIRE flight, you may want to think about alternative modes of transportation. The other 200 people on board don't want to spend 3 hours listening to that!!  Now, before you get mad at me, I traveled many years and many times with my kids when they were babies. I never allowed my kids to act like that for more than a couple of minutes. Maybe I lucked out with great kids, I don't know, but for the love of god, please find a way to quiet them down!! 

The kid thing has happened on every flight of mine this week so far, and as I type his, there is one more screaming in the waiting area.  It may be a perfect record this week!!!
