'He knows how to play': Entitled parent begs random plane passenger to 'share' their video games

Maybe the in-flight movies aren't good enough for this woman and her son.

When traveling and preparing for a flight, there's a lot to remember: passport, luggage, wallet, keys, and more. But most people remember to bring something to keep them occupied during the flight, too, whether that's a book or a pair of earbuds to listen to music or a podcast, or to watch an in-flight movie. This wouldn't seem to require much planning ahead, and most flights will hand out earbuds in case you forgot your own.

That's why this woman's story is so incredibly baffling. She seemingly brought her young son on a short flight (under two hours long) and yet didn't bring anything to entertain him. Instead, she decided to bug a random stranger, insisting that her child be allowed to play video games. The audacity is stunning!

I definitely side with the OP here — as cute as kids are, they're so messy and are not at all careful with electronics. People in the comments echoed this as well — at least the OP managed to stand their ground. Then, check out these mildly infuriating moments, like the person who discovered squirrels were living in their car.
