Otherwise what makes you so special that you think you can restrict the people next to you. I hear you, I would love to say who can sit by and who can’t. Only the Swedish Bikini team please. But unfortunately, and fortunately our society isn’t exactly what we want. It is part of this great thing called life, where things are different around every corner to keep you on your toes. After all the time is limited that you have to “put up” with the small inconvenience and is minimal in the grand scheme of things. I don’t like being sick but it happens sometimes. I don’t like sitting next to crying kids for a 11 hour flight, but it could happen. I don’t want my kid to cry on the plane but it could happen. I don’t want someone to sit next to me and die mid way through the flight but it could happen.
I couldn't disagree with you more. This is is not about that thing happen, of course they do. But rather the thing that happen to you and are caused by you are your responsibility. The things that I cause are my responsibility. Why are your problems and actions my responsibility? And very often these are not "small inconveniences". And yes, I have three children and have traveled with them since they were enfants; mant internationl flight.
Also how come you assume it's my responsibility to be grasious. Are you absolved of your your responsibility to be grasious because you have some "special" need?
