yours. What especially makes it so maddening is that you can’t escape, you must endure any disruptions to your day.
One man took to Reddit’s “Am I the A–Hole?” forum to express his frustrations while flying one day. He wanted to find out if he was wrong for yelling at a mother to control her children.
“Am I the A–hole?” is a place where people can write about conflict in their lives.
The 39-year-old began the post by revealing that he was on a flight from New York to London.
His seat was in front of a woman and her two young sons, while her husband sat behind them.
He notes that it is important to recognize the family is Indian, and he is American-Indian.
So the plane takes off and the boys “start yelling about how this is the best day ever,”,but the man in front of them just tunes them out with his headphones.
Eventually, he felt something “digging” into his back, and he turned around to see that the young boy had his feet “jammed” into the seat.
He asked the mother if she could tell her son not to sit that way, and she did.

Really? You must be a lot younger than I. Or perhaps from a different part of the country. “American Indian” was one of the terms used in everyday language when I was growing up that were fine, to everyone involved, but now with all the perpetually offended masses, we can’t say them any more. (The “n-word” was always offensive, in my family, so I’m not talking about that.)
My point is, I was grown before “Native American” took the place of “American Indian”.
Wrong kind of Indian.
