Don't get me started with whiny kids,, I had one barf all over me. I 
smelled so bad that they told me that I had to disembark to clean up and 
change my shirt. I wound up being forced to get on a flight 8 hrs. 
later, since I didn't have a change of clothes in my carryon since I was 
flying home, they had to retrieve my checked bag. I felt that I was 
treated as though it was my fault the kid barfed on me.
