Wouldn't imagine this needed to be implemented in a civil society.

Other airlines already have this.

The worst offenders so far have been people with kids.

Those iPads make the most annoying sounds for that age group

very interesting that this story was posted to this board on the same day that poster Crowknowsbest stated:

It’s annoying, but they’re kids so it’s understandable. Seeing/hearing grown basketball Americans do the same is not understandable and infuriating.

Unscrupulous. The things you laypeople are forced to tolerate from the dregs of society. Anyhow 777tiger is here to fly me to Maine for a cottage weekend. Onward and upward!

Trashy parent spotted.


That's one of the main things you are responsible for teaching your children. How to be considerate to others and NOT annoy strangers.

Carnival Cruise Line did the same thing. Every pool deck previously had 4 or 5 dee jays bumpin' their own music on bluetooth speakers.

Their parents need to be penetrated with a soup can turned sideways. I dealt with that crap on a Singapore flight to England.

Man I hate when I go places and people are listening to music or videos. I was in a waiting room the other day and this guy was watching videos in Spanish at high volume.
Then I was in line at a store and a guy came in with a Bluetooth speaker. I would never. I have multiple headphones off different sizes I wish more people use them.

I’ve not encountered annoyance due to lack of headphones as much as I have annoyance due to high volume gum bumping. Which is demonstrably worse. Either shut the frick up or use what your mother used to call your inside voice.

Oddly specific. And not specific enough... condensed? family size? It makes a difference.

Can we just make this a law for all public spaces?

Can they please prohibit people taking off their shoes on a flight?

The absolute zenith of trashy, selfish behavior.

That sounds like the 9th circle of hell, in every way possible.

It's understandable that the kids would do it; it's not understandable that the parents allow it.
