Were they trying to wake you up to get past to go to the bathroom?

If so, I'm gonna just say, hey way to be an asshole.

I like to sleep on flights, but I recognise that people may have to use the restroom, and you physically can't get by without waking the person in the aisle seat up and excusing yourself. This is true for babies and adults. "Why didn't they book an aisle seat?" What makes you think one was available? If you were adamant about never leaving your seat again, the human thing to do would be to offer to take the window so you could ignore them the whole flight.

Why do you think I said I would have moved and stayed awake regardless (and did, anyway. It wasn't even a minute between being shaken and then getting up out of the way). The human thing to do is not ignore me when I try to introduce myself so we can have a nice flight, and then just bark orders like I was just something in their way. I got the aisle to be near my husband, and to have access myself to the bathroom if I needed it. I understand each seats responsibilities. But fuck them for not acting human for one minute during boarding to ask POLITELY that I be alert just in case they had to get up.

Hell, even if they said NOTHING I would have been fine. But after being ordered to stay awake? Hell no.

I know you're ruining your karma (a disagreeing comment that does not add to the circlejerk!! gasp!!), so you got my upvote, not that it will make much of a difference.

Honestly, I'm hoping this is a troll post, because I cannot bear to believe that there are people who would behave like this.

The other day there was this post about how one should not have to smile or play with other people's kids because the world does not exist for you and will not be nice to you always. OP, I think you need to take the advice that was meant for a 4 year old.

How do you know the couple hadn't just fought? How do you know the parents weren't sleep-deprived and irritated because of their kid? Maybe they were thinking "aw shucks I didnt say hi back, is it weird if I say it now?" I think a lot of introverts here will relate.

You went OUT OF YOUR WAY to pretend to be asleep, wore noiseless headphones, just to get back at these people because they didn't say hello?

People who sit in the aisle have the responsibility to get up irrespective of whether an adult or a child or an infant needs to use the bathroom. If you didn't want to be bothered, the parents would have gladly switched seats with you. You had to resort to this kind of behaviour didn't you?

I don't mind the downvotes. But I agree with the sentiment that if you're in the aisle, you should still get up to let jerks use the toilet. If you don't, you're an asshole. That's all there is to it, baby or no.

"aw shucks I didnt say hi back, is it weird if I say it now?" I think a lot of introverts here will relate.

OP didn't even say they introduced themselves, just that "Not ONE word as I sat down in my aisle seat, nothing from them even acknowledging my existence". So OP didn't introduce themselves, but the breeders are absolute monsters for doing the same.

I usually say "hi" or nod at people sitting next to me, but like you said introverts might not, and that's ok.

People who sit in the aisle have the responsibility to get up irrespective of whether an adult or a child or an infant needs to use the bathroom.

It's not mandatory to say hello to the people next to you on a plane - but if you're going to ask a favour from them, like requesting that they stay awake the whole time for your benefit, it's a good place to start. The parents were the ones wanting a favour and initiating the conversation, so the onus was on them to open politely.

Speaking as an introvert, I never initiate conversations on planes with my seat neighbors willingly. Even a hello. But I will respond if a greeting is directed at me, even if it's just a friendly smile. Just feels weird to say hi to random strangers O.o
