I didn't get a photo either, but we got into it with a mother and her two kids flying back from HNL to LAX on a 757 with lie flat seats. I never get into heated arguments with other passengers, so this was a first.
We were in 3C and D. The mother was in 4B and her two 9? year olds were behind us in 4C and D. The seats are great. Lots of space so how on earth those two girls were able to stand on their hands (I'm guessing on the seats) and kick me with their bare feet in the head is beyond me.
The mother could see what was happening and did nothing until my partner stood up and told the girls to sit down. Before the kick to the head, they had both been kicking the backs of our seats for close to two hours. Which I don't get either, because they were both under 5 feet. I think they were bouncing around like it was a playroom or something. I was just praying for massive turbulence so they might slam into the ceiling or something.
So the mother gets into it and blames everything on Delta.
I suggested she sit with one and keep them separated. No go. Then I suggested they sit down with their seat belts on. Nope. The mother wasn't having any of it. She kept rambling about how it was Delta's fault.
So I told her if they were incapable of behaving, maybe they should sit in coach. That got her going. She said "I paid for these seats!". I said "So did I and it isn't the flight attendants job to baby sit your damn kids so why is it Delta's fault!?"
The two attendants apologized to us and made extra rounds to check on the kids. They were pretty good for about 45 minutes and then started in again and meanwhile that waste of carbon mother did nothing.
OK. I'm finished. I love those seats and the big entertainment screens.

I got off a flight in ATL to find this in the gate area. I don't know whether it was left from earlier or if the ladies and/or gentlemen sitting there had been in such a hurry to get in the gate lice scrum when my flight arrived that they couldn't bother to clean up after themselves.

Sorry, but there's not always trash cans nearby. Also it's not uncommon for places to pickup customers trash from tables. Not everywhere expects you to toss your own trash away, especially when it comes to eating. I always see employees going around specifically picking up trash from tables. In this case it's not like there was such a mess that it took extra work to clean up. There's no liquids spilled/condiments spread all over the place, etc. It's no more then I'd expect on a table at a fast food restaurant.

Edit: I should add that the employees at the SC do clean up after you although if I see their bussing tray nearby I normally set my items on there as I leave.

lol wut
this is a pretty incredibly elitist attitude. I don't give a .... who you are or how much you paid for the seats. The people in the back are people too. They're not a dumping ground for stuff you don't want to deal with.

But other passengers shouldn't have to deal with the mess in the meantime. Common courtesy dictates disposing of one's trash properly, and there are ample receptacles in which to do so at ATL. End of story.

The 757 had 4 rows (the two kids and the mother were in the 4th (last row) and if we had switched, then the couple in front of us would have had to tolerate their actions.
I still don't get the "It's Deltas fault" line.
