0044. the return flight from krabi was painfully punctuated by unacceptable behaviour from some children and their parents.

so ms octopus and i clambered on board the airbus, looking forward to a safe and quiet flight home. i mean seriously, who wouldnt? and of course, like all things in life, you'd almost never get what you want.

a caucasian couple and their 2 young boys located their seats right behind us. the same family whose kids ms octopus and i thought were incorrigibly naughty. the moment the little bastard sit down behind ms octopus, who is dying to get some rest on the flight, i knew trouble would brew.

this tiny ang moh fucker starts making a racket about belting up, wanting to see out of the window and shit and starts kicking the chair in front of him, which unfortunately was ms octopus' chair. obviously she couldnt rest properly and i wasnt very pleased.

after a couple of minutes, i decided to turn back and request the ang moh man, who has his hand full dealing with his other noisy kid to stop this kid from kicking. not only did he not apologise, he gave me the "why the fuck should i care, im busy now" look. fucking hell! never mind. ms octopus is not the sort to cause trouble. neither am i. so i went back to reading and being a pillow for the missus...

until his son SIMPLY CANNOT stop kicking. i almost wanted turn back to the ang moh and burst in full singaporean flare, "eh CCB ang moh! your little CB kia better stop kao beh kao bu and stop kicking the fucking chair. knn beh bu bo kah xi ah? need me to teach him issit?!"

keyword: almost.

luckily, ms octopus couldnt care less and was already dreaming about catching underwater pandas while snorkelling. i decided that if the damn ang moh wanted to be rude and let his kid be annoying, i'll let his karma burn under. already 2 not nice persons on earth right behind me. im not going to join them and be a third. im not going to be pissed off over some kid whose father did a shit job as a parent.

so what did i do in the end? it's something all passengers in front are ENTITLED to do unto the ones behind them:

i lowered my seat all the way to the back.
