9 hour flight. Kid (maybe 6 - 9 y/o) bumping my seat the whole way. I won the lottery. No one around me spoke English. Guy next to me is sick, coughing and sniffling the whole way. Baby crying in front a few rows up.

So this kid behind me is doing everything to annoy the shit out of me. Playing a game on the screen, but pushing/hitting it so I can feel everything. It started before takeoff when he had his foot up, and then kept tapping his foot on the back of my seat.

Then when he wanted to sleep, he'd try to lean forward and rest his head on the tray. He was never comfortable, so he'd constantly be moving around and it would push and jerk my seat back and forth.

Before takeoff I frowned at him, and shook my finger no (he didn't speak English). Still didn't get it. Did that 2 more times through out the flight. Didn't stop. Parents who knows where (there were a row of kids). I'd throw my back into the seat, recline and unrecline it, just to get him to stop. He'd "get it" for about 10, 20 minutes and then would start again. The few times flight attendants came through, he wasn't doing it so didn't feel confident enough to ask them to tell him to f'ing stop (he was probably too stupid to understand since he wasn't actively doing it).

I honestly wanted to punt the fucker off the plane into the ocean for being such an unaware little shithead. Not to mention him and his little brother were yelling/talking half the flight while everyone was trying to sleep.

I'm curious how you would handle this. Other than going out of my way to get a flight attendant involved or being much more aggressive, are there any ideas I'm missing?
