my life is a soundtrack

air turbulance

so--here's a classic one:
on my connecting flight from charlotte to chicago i "luckily" ended up an exit row w/ lots of leg room (esp after being on a 4 hr flight). was trying to get some rest and enjoying massive attack on my ipod. was tossing and turning-since you really can't get too comfortable on a plane no matter how hard you try. and had reclined my seat about 1/3 of what it could have done. i knew there was a younger boy/girl right behind me--and kept on feeling the jiggle of the seat. was thinking: ok...the kid doesn't realize that the pressure they put on the table, they're getting settled, etc. NO! after about an hour of dealing w/ that restlessness and constant bumping on my seat..i turned and could see a reflection of the young girl (about 10) in the window...well, that little brat was purposely pushing my seat. i couldn't believe it?!!? so i bumped my seat back and forth and scowled: "Cut it out!!!"...i turned and scowled at her again "I can see you, i saw you push my seat in the window refection, that's just rude". well, she had the fear of god in her. and the part that irks me the most?!?! her mother was right there next to her the whole time and didn't tell the little brat to "cut it out"!? and dad was right next to them!?? i also replied back: "I WAS sleeping!?". i pulled my seat up all the way=maybe an inch!? (which i prob should have done the opposite!?).
so-there was the last hour of my vacation!? was ready to get home in my own bed for sure (and have sweet dreams about shoving that little brat into the overhead luggage compartment or something like that....i don't want to sound evil--i have an 11 yr old nephew...i understand how kids can be--but i could not believe when i saw her purposely push my seat after an hour of being on the plane)
