On a recent flight on Southwest (where you get to sit anywhere you want on the plane) I had to make the decision between sitting next to the screeching baby or sitting next to the passenger with the lung-rattling cough of doom. Which would you choose?
I did an informal poll over at my personal blog, and my pals chose the screeching baby by a landslide.
My friend Lexi sums it up best:
A piercing screech is annoying but doesn’t leave one wondering about drug-resistant TB for the entire length of the flight…
If this type of poll interests you, consider lurking over at FlyerTalk, which is a forum for folks who fly a lot… like, a lot a lot. Makes me look like an amateur.
