ROTFL: ‘Congratulations! You Get To Sit Near Me’ Kid’s Travel Shirt

Posted in Random by Dan at 10:12 am

This had to be the funniest thing I have seen today. As a frequent flier I get the privilege to be shoved in small confined spaces with screaming infants for long spans of time - Thats why I have my Shure E5c’s (Best Headphones ever!)

But I’m also the type who tries to see the humor in every situation. So if I ever lost the airline seating lottery and got stuck next to a young kid, I’d have to cut them some slack if they were wearing this clever ‘Congratulations! You get to sit near me’ shirt. But if they started to wail once we got airborne, you’d better believe I’d still be riding that flight attendant call button.

The shirt (or snapsuit) is available from Milkbomb in a variety of child and infant friendly sizes, ranging in price from $20 to $24.

If I was a parent of a screaming child might as well let the other passengers get a chuckle as the suffer.

    I’m going to make a shirt that says

    “Congratulations, your child is about to be punched by a full grown man”

    “Riding the flight attendant call button,” eh? And just what do you expect the flight attendant to do?

    Hey, I’m sure you never cried when you were a baby.

    That’s why I always check my seat preferences right before I board, so I can (hopefully) get a seat with no one around it. Makes a world of difference.

    Funny shirt!

    Every time I travel, there’s some bonehead with a laptop click-clack-clicking away, wondering if he can use my son’s extra footspace for his bag of electronic doo-dads and my son’s tray for his soda. My son handles this for us by pretending to be sick and about to throw up.

    It must suck to be a flight attendant, it seems like everyone who travels has a kid, a keyboard, or a weight, odor, or drinking problem. It’s like we all plan in advance to be the biggest jackass possible in the most confined space possible.
