It really is not the most annoying.
Very annoying, hell yes, I appreciate that (i have two and though generally I consider myself quite lucky that they are on the low maintenance side of the scales they can still be irritants) but I have sat on flights across the Atlantic wedged in my chair by my seat neighbour the world's sweateiest and most obese Floridian as his body tried its best to ooze into my paid for space; I have had to listen to the braying nasal whine of a family of almost comedically stereotypical New York Jews (at least three generations worth) who hadn't had the presence of mind to book seats near each other so used a form of loud screeching shuttle run chair swap to pass information back and forth across the cabin; hen do attendees explaining in unsuitably loud voices the sort of sexual practices that some adults but I would imagine pretty much all kids are unfamiliar with and how they wish to incorporate these into their holiday. In my experience it isn't that kids are fuckers it is more that people are fuckers and some of them happen to be kids/babies.

Couldn't agree more!
I've been on flights where the children have been nice and quiet and some of the adults complete and utter wankstains. I find a bit of noise from a child a lot less irritating and threatening than some dickhead who can't handle his drink for example, and I've never heard a toddler argue with a flight attendant when the couldn't get their choice of meal. As you say, it's people who are the problem, it's just some of them are small...

Well said...
On a flight from Paris once the guy sitting next to me twisted a bit in his seat, rested his head on his girlfriend's shoulder, and put his legs in front of mine, like we were old lovers. Then looked mightily pissed off when I pushed them back in front of his own seat O_o
