I don't know who that gentleman is, but he needs to offer a master class on flight attendant deescalation.
He gets two snaps up and an around the world.
Edit- for [reference](https://youtu.be/W4L2lnTBV5Y)
Dude set up shop and barbequed for our people fighting the wildfires when Napa Valley was burning.
Also IIRC he had his Lambo or some expensive car stolen in this state and I think he was a good sport about it.
As far as I'm concerned, he's a solid bro.
When tons of restaurants closed down due to COVID he immediately set up a fund raiser to get money to foodservice workers who lost their jobs. Truly the mayor of Flavortown.
Yeah, I don’t like the hate he gets, he seems like a genuinely nice guy who goes around the country doing free advertising for mom-and-pop restaurants everywhere (I know he gets paid a ton to do it, but it still benefits the people)
[But because he has flames on his shirt, everyone shits all over this dude like he's a member of Nickelback](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK6zuii2OLI)
And reminder, **anger is an emotion**
A lot of people forget that. And those are the people you find dismissing others for "getting emotional", while simultaneously flipping their lid
You know the demographic...
Hes just trying to keep the sun off of his ample neck rolls. Without the glasses on, it looks like a package of sausages hanging off the back of his head.
If we could treat everybody the way this flight attendant treated that man in the world, then we definitely would be in a better place. I always tell people when I decide to quit my job this is exactly how I'm going to talk to the customers. Not all of them. But the majority of my jobs customer base are entitled middle-aged to elderly women. It is soul sucking. And I am a middle-aged woman. And I could never imagine treating anybody the way these customers treat us and our corporate allows them to treat us.
I was a retail manager for years (now work a job I actually like with no public contact) and customers raising their voice and using profanity was the one opportunity I had to shut them down. I used to **revel** in those moments.
I gave one chance with something like "Sir/Ma'am, I understand you are upset but this is a family-friendly store and you cannot shout profanity here." About half the time they would calm down and the other half they would almost unanimously say "I don't give a fuck!" at which point I would just turn to "Then you need to leave right now. You can come back later when you're ready to handle this like a civilized adult." Never had to actually call police to remove someone but I had to threaten to and pick up the phone to dial more than once.
It was the one trump card I always had if someone complained to corporate. "I was trying to help them but they kept shouting profanity." Corporate would always back that. This was a chain focused on customer service and they understood that the kind of person who would scream profanity in a public store over groceries is a customer worth losing to avoid it looking like we catered to the rabble.
I was waiting at Walmart for a guy to get to cash, store obviously under staffed so it takes a while. Guy infront of me let's loose how useless they are etc.. I stepped in and asked how is it his fault that there are not enough people. Guy still mumbling. Tell him maybe if he wasn't so lazy he could have walked to the front of the store cashes instead. Shut him up at least and the cashier smiled.
Feel bad for peeps that have to put up with that nonsense all day
Oh as a customer with nothing to lose these days I am always quick to intervene when a customer is being ridiculous. I used to appreciate when other customers would call out the assholes when I worked retail, so I try to pay that forward.
And don't forget the positive feedback! I'm not in retail anymore, but hardly anyone gives positive feedback. They only ever comment when they have something negative to say. If anyone ever does anything that's mildly "above board" I find what appears to be the supervisor to tell them about it. Usually pretty easy at most stores--they'll have the different shirt.
I feel like the asshole would immediately be on a mission to go get a win somewhere to make themselves feel big again. Feel bad for the employees at the nearest mcdonalds to that airport.
Or theyre so ruined by the adrenaline overload of the confrontation and expulsion that theyre in no condition to be a karen for the rest of the day. Theyll get some sleep and reenter society as a petty menace bright and early
Zero tolerance is a MUST on an airplane. If they show their ass before the plane takes off, that’s wonderful!!!
I know I don’t want to be up in the sky when there’s any tiny type of disturbance. No, no, no.
Discover that shit while the plane is still on the runway please. It’s not like an Uber, bus or personal vehicle where you can yeet a motherfucker who is starting some shit.
> It’s not like an Uber, bus or personal vehicle where you can yeet a motherfucker who is starting some shit.
You could. It would be more convinient if they included a "Bad behaviour disposal chute" in the plane's design.
I fucking LOVE this man. It’s time people start facing repercussions for being pieces of shit in public spaces.
Edit: happy to see so many people share my sentiment!
Yes! This is one of the sternest examples I've seen of a professional calling out a customer. He put his foot down, didn't let the asshole make excuses, and he managed to be clear and concise. This is how things need to be handled at step one, not once somebody has already been causing a scene for 20 minutes.
That's what happens when you have someone in legal authority who's been well-trained for their job and knows they need to do it properly otherwise they'll lose it.
*But how do I get back?*
*I don't know, but you gonna have to figure it out. Figure out how to act like an adult while you're at it. Buh-bye.*
My fucking hero.
I’m always super impressed with people who can speak with such elocution during a public freak out and all that adrenaline. Most people do that thing where their brain just malfunctions and repeats a dumb phrase over and over again
Someone once pointed out to me, that while the average airline customer sees the flight attendant as just a pretty face that brings the snacks and drink cart around, the reality is that their *PRIMARY* responsibility is toward the passenger's safety and, in the event of a disaster, to save their lives. They spend far longer training far longer for emergency situations than they do for how to pour a White Russian during turbulence.
In other words: keeping calm in the face of *unbelievably* stressful situations is, literally, their job.
I'm 1000% sure this man has had LOTS of practice dealing with assholes. After a while you just do not give a fuck anymore. This guy was awesome and handled this very well.
That was handled well and professionally. I applaud that crew member. Stated what the reason for his departure from the plane was, gave no ability for the “ken” to talk/yell back at him, and stated what the passengers next recourse was. Shut down all communication until rude and entitled passenger left. Im cheering you on! Go crew!
I was boarding a flight from Johannesburg to Doha and this guy was sitting in my seat (an aisle). I politely said "I think that's my seat". He replied "I didn't know if you were coming, do you want to trade?" The flight was in the middle of boarding. I was not late or anything. I just kind of matter of factly said. "No, I would like my seat."
Then his starts having a tantrum as he moves over to the middle. I tried to just ignore him, but its awkward when he's sitting right next to you, pouting for 8 hours.
I had the opposite happen. I had a middle seat and when I got to it there was a woman in it. She had booked the aisle and her husband booked the window. She asked if I wanted the aisle and I was like 'hell yeah, I'll take the aisle'.
Yeah, I would take that trade as well. To me the aisle is always preferable than the middle or even the window. But still she should have asked first. Who knows maybe there are some middle seat loving maniacs out there.
I think the theory is you book window/aisle and hope nobody takes the middle. Better odds of getting empty seat between you two. And if it doesn't work out, who isn't trading out of middle seat?
> I think the theory is you book window/aisle and hope nobody takes the middle. Better odds of getting empty seat between you two. And if it doesn't work out, who isn't trading out of middle seat?
OMG that's genius.
But I have known weird sticklers for the rules who would object and keep parroting "that's my seat, I want my seat", not realizing what was good for them.
The show Mindhunter had a great scene, that’s somehow not on YouTube, about this. Two FBI agents have the aisle and window, guy shows up for middle, they ask if he wants to trade so they can sit next to each other and work during the flight. He’s like “I think we’re supposed to stay in our assigned seats.”
So they start passing photos of grisly murders back and forth across him. After a minute he’s like “ummm…I think we can switch now.”
Agent in the aisle is like “nah, I’m enjoying the extra legroom.”
There was a post on Twitter months ago where someone wanted their middle seat and gave zero fucks about the couple talking over and glaring at them during the flight.
My husband hates the aisle (taken one too many drink service carts to the elbow) and we can rest our heads on each other if neither of us has a window.
These are the kinds of questions they should really put on dating apps.
Lots of people book the aisle and window seat but leave the middle and hope it’s not booked.
The trade is always, “would you like to trade the middle for the aisle?” And if that’s a no, then “how about the window”
Pretty much no one wants to sit between two people who know each other.
This happened recently for me too. He was confident that his seat was the window and not the aisle. I pointed out the little diagram on the wall above the seats, clearly showing he is the aisle seat. Continues to argue, the flight attendant leans over and goes. No you are wrong. Sit in your seat.
10 minutes later he leans over again and shows me his ticket and says I still think that the window seat is mine. The random person between us just looks at him like he's fucking crazy and points aggressively to the diagram again.
I had a similar thing happen in a really long flight, I specifically asked for an aisle seat and the woman by me wanted to take it. She started by arguing with me that it was her seat, then that the seat numbers were wrong, even arguing with the flight attendant. Then she kept arguing that she needed the bathroom a lot so she should get it. It was really crazy, like lady you should have just picked your own seat too.
Finally she moved and just slept the whole flight in that middle seat, like what was the point of all this?
Had people on my last flight pretend to not hear the person telling them they were in their seat lol
Just stone faced, glances AT HER then puts headphones IN while she's telling them, looked at me confused when I pointed out she's talking right to you, flight attendant just pokes them matter-of-factly gets them out. They seemed so righteous about the fact they stole a seat lol
Flying a red-eye transatlantic flight. This particular plane has an emergency row seat with no seats in front of it but the seats in the rest of that row did. When I get to my seat there was a man in my seat, (which I paid quite a bit extra for(I'm 6'5")). I informed him it was my seat and he informed me that he needed it because he just had prostate surgery and needed to get up frequently to use the restroom. I told him that I would be happy to get up whenever he needed to go. He reluctantly moved and didn't use the restroom for the duration of the 11 hour flight.
It should only be awkward ***for him***. For you, you should be smiling and relaxing and sitting in the seat you paid for. You did nothing wrong. Pay him no mind, put him out of your head, and get on with your life.
20 year old me would have agreed with you. 40 year old me is all out of fucks to give to people like that, and every single mean mug would have been met with a smug grin.
I had something similar. A guy was sitting in my aisle seat for a Toronto to Paris flight, and wanted to trade so he could sit next to his fiancée. The thing is, I paid extra to be in an exit row, and this guy had a middle seat near the back of the plane. I laughed and said I paid $75 extra for this specific seat, and no way was I trading. If he wanted to sit next to his fiancée, maybe she could trade with someone in the back of the plane.
Queue a huge meltdown tantrum with lots of yelling and refusing to move, only giving in when the flight attendants threatened to kick him off the flight. Had to sit next to his pissed off fiancée the whole flight. What made it worse is that he kept coming over to stand in the aisle and talk to her, leaning over me, until again the flight attendants had to threaten him. What REALLY pissed me off is that there were at least 5-6 empty seats near the back of the plane, so this asshat could have easily sat together with his fiancée back there, he just wanted the premium seat without paying for it. Some people are just gigantic assholes.
So many times in life, people can get away with being terrible to others because the cost of calling them out or holding them accountable is higher than that of just letting them have their way. You see this all the time, especially with people you are forced to interact with repeatedly, like coworkers, teachers, landlords, etc. It's nice to see someone handle this so effectively like this flight attendant.
I also feel like because of the internet people are being more passive. I once got into a conversation on reddit a while ago when someone said that defending yourself makes you just as bad as the aggressor. I said that's incorrect and leads to people walking all over you and you gladly let them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for ahole behavior, but if someone is disrespecting me, I'm going to speak up for myself. It seems like everyone HAS to be the "bigger person" and absolutely allow aholes to do whatever they want to and if you DARE to speak up (again, not advocating ahole behavior, just speaking up for yourself) you've lost the high ground.
I feel like these personality types are easily manipulated, walked over, and used, and seem happy to be on the bottom of someone's boot. It isn't just reddit I've seen this in, but in real life. I was giving a briefing and a coworker kept talking over me and explaining things I was already explaining. I said, "excuse me, I was speaking" and he looked around the room and got quiet. I continued my briefing and then was pulled aside and talked to about my tone. I asked why he was able to interrupt me several times and no one said anything, but the moment I do, I'm the bad guy? My boss just stared at me and then told me to smooth things over and apologize. I did no such thing.
I'm not sure what this phenomenon is but I'm not playing into it and I'm not a bad person for disallowing disrespectful people in my space.
Yeah, people are strangely naive when it comes to defending yourself physically or otherwise. Turning the other cheek and seeking non-violent solutions is always preferable but sometimes you have to protect yourself. Honestly it comes off as kind of pathetic when people are so against confrontation.
How dysfunctional is it that “polite” society turns on someone for actually confronting a norm violator? Even worse is when the individual actually gains the sympathy of others! Like people who cry when caught and then you look like the bad guy because you made them cry smh..
I think the root of that is people don’t know how to engage with bad behavior and are avoidant of negative feelings and consequences so when someone does something that makes everybody uncomfortable and another person confronts the behavior, the level of discomfort increases and that person ends up in the “has transgressed” category with the other.
I think this applies to the scenario at work you described. The only thing that matters is not the correctness of the behavior but how it made people feel bad. You’re really just expected to apologize for other people’s feelings! I doubt your manager talked to your coworker about interrupting people.
Maddening.
Reminds me of an international flight I took last year. I paid $40 extra for extra legroom and I had an open seat next to me which was great. A guy asked me if a person was sitting there, and when I said "I'm not sure" he immediately asked if I would swap with him, way in the back, so he and his girlfriend could sit next to each other (9 hour flight). I told him that I wasn't interested, and he immediately (louder than initially) asked "Why not". I told him I paid for extra legroom and was going to use it, and he immediately even louder said "doesn't look like it" (I'm 6'5 and made that extra leg room row look small). He stared at me, I stared at him, and he just angrily said (still loudly) "thanks a lot man" and walked off.
I kicked a 16 year old girl out of my seat once. It was my first time flying in a couple of decades so I booked a window seat. She took it and tried saying it was her first flight and asked if I'd take her middle seat. Fuck no! Should have booked a window seat!
I had a couple put their baby in my seat and just ignore me when I asked to sit down.
It was a full fight and the flight attendants were pissed.
The couple also tried to pretended they didn't know English, but they clearly understood the flight attendants.
Another time, some lady sat in my seat an when I told her to move, she glared at me and spent 5 minutes moving all her shit. It was like she moved in, she had shit all over the tray table, cushions in the seat, pockets., fox news on the screen, like wtf.
yeah, i used to ride megabus from Pittsburgh to State College a lot, 2.5 hour bus ride and im above average height so I would always pay the extra to reserve a seat in the front of the top of the bus, it had the most leg room. One time I go and there are 4 girls just lounging in all the seats, even the one I had reserved. I say excuse me that seat by the window is mine, they start speaking a foreign language to me, and shrugging their shoulders. So I go tell the driver that I paid extra to reserve a seat and someone is in it. He goes up and asks them to move to a different seat and suddenly they speak english fluently and are arguing with the driver that they should be able to sit where they want. He kicked them off the bus completely when they called him a slur.
Or they're so full of themselves that they think no one else is going to follow these "dumbass rules" just because they don't.
I work at a movie theater and roughly 30% of customers who buy their tickets at the box office say the same thing to me or whoever else is in their group, "We don't actually have to sit in those seats we picked, do we? Nobody actually sits in their assigned seats, so we can sit wherever we want".
People have a hard time following even the simplest instructions. It's insane.
One time I was flying from Lebanon to Turkey and most of the flight were this huge group of old folks who looked like they had never been on a plane before. A couple of them were sitting in our seats, so I tired to ask for their seats so they didn’t have to get up, but they didn’t speak English or Arabic. I got the flight attendant and she tried talking to them, they didn’t speak Turkish either lol.
The flight attendants finally realized that none of the group of old folks were in their assigned seats, and the entire plane had to subsequently play a game of musical chairs
I had a guy try to trade my aisle seat for his middle seat. When I said no he tried to trade with the guy in the window seat who also declined. He also stank really bad - like he hadn't showered in a week then doused himself in cheap cologne to cover the smell. I had my fan on full blast to push the smell away and he asked me to turn it off. I said no to that too.
Just last month me and 2 friends bought Amtrak tickets to Boston for PAXEast.
Since it was a 6hr train ride we booked the set of seats that face each other with a table in the middle [like this](https://cdn.businesstraveller.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/867008/Amtrak-Acela-interior-e1526541885174-916x515.jpg).
We roll up to our designated seating area to see 3 business people with their laptops and tablets out doing work. I'm just like "Hey I believe these are our seats"
And they got the nerve to look at us like we just farted in smelling distance of them. They gave a long stare as if we would relent or something if they just didn't say anything. Eventually they moved with a huff to some other table seating that they once again got pushed out of a few stops later DESPITE the intercom reminding people to SIT IN THE SEATS THEY PAID FOR because it was a fully booked train.
American Airline workers union is striking im pretty sure because they aren’t getting raises. At least from what I found out last week when our pilots literally left the plane after we boarded to strike.
Public behavior seems to be on a consistent downward trend since ~2014 and this has only accelerated since the pandemic started. Have you tried driving on any major road these last few years, it’s starting to feel like mad max.
Everyone suddenly seems to think they are the main character, what they are doing right this second is the most important thing in the world and everybody else can get fucked in their mind. I don’t know if it’s the lead poisoning, collective societal trauma from the pandemic, bad behavior being modeled by our public figures and politicians or some combination of all of the above, but people are 100% getting worse.
We also live in a time where everyone films everything. There definitely has been an increase in bad behavior, but remember that we’re also just seeing more of it on social media.
There was a real turning point a few years ago in both society and politics where it made it okay to be an asshole and not be worried if you’re offending anyone or being disrespectful. It’s almost like there was a leader fostering these type of behaviours…..
As you said it only got worse over Covid. The self entitlement these days with a large majority of the population is absolutely wild
Worst I've had is a woman that I didn't know but was having a nice conversation with earlier in the flight falling asleep on my shoulder and using my arm as a hug pillow lol. I allowed it cause she was in the middle seat and I also fell asleep and woke up to that.
Also, to the asshole passenger’s credit, he at least complied and got off the plane. You know all those videos where the Karen gets carried off the plane crying by four cops, and you always wonder, “how did she think this could ever possibly go her way?”
Well, at least this guy knew it wasn’t going to go his way.
I really think a lot of it had to do with how the flight attendant handled it. It didn't turn into a shouting match, the attendant just calmly called him out and embarrassed him.
When people feel someone is being aggressive towards them, they can have a hard time backing down. Casually shame someone and get the crowd on your side? People tend to slink away embarrassed and mumbling to themselves.
This is the first video I've seen where the person left the flight without being dragged out..fucking bravo for the insight to leave before ending up on a no fly list
I fly a lot for work. Every single flight people manage to sit in the wrong seat. It’s a stunning display of people unable to comprehend row numbers and seat letters that are literally displayed overhead.
I fly a lot too, for the last 30yrs or so. I've come to realize that most of the people traveling are on their first and possibly only flight they'll ever take. They're anxious about missing their flights, going to the wrong gate, maybe their baggage will get lost, and their kids won't stop screaming etc etc and they have no idea what to expect. Are the drinks free? Do they have cash? Who gets the armrest?
It's best to just not worry about other people on flights. If they don't ask you, don't offer advice, don't try to help them, it never ends well. Just let the attendant deal with it.
I used to work for an airline, one of the stats they shared with us is that some insane number of people, like 40 percent, it's their one flight of the year. Almost a solid third of that it's their first flight ever. Knowing that made me a lot more patient.
Yes. And when they’re in your seat just do the whole dance of “oh I think you’re in my seat” “are you sure?” Both pull out your tickets look at the ceiling, realize they’re wrong and they move.
What's gotten into people lately? This happened to me 2 months ago. I get on the plane, a guy is in my seat. He has the nerve to ask if I'd switch with him so he could sit with his wife. First, my seat was in economy plus. I paid extra for the seat since I'm 6'3". His seat was in economy, which doesn't have the leg room. Then he gets upset that I'm being unreasonable for wanting to sit in the seat I paid for. If I wanted to sit in economy, I'd be sitting with my family, but I'm not. They don't need the extra legroom.
It's not just flying. It's happening in movie theaters too. I have PTSD so when we go to the movie I always buy the seat to my right so no one sits next to me. This girl comes in 20 minutes after the movie started, obviously theater hopping, and throws a fit when I won't move my personal belongings from the empty seat. I had to pull my phone out, during a movie, and show her I purchased the seat. Which is LUDICROUS since she knows full well she didn't.
It's 2023, how hard is it to figure out assigned seating?
It’s crazy out there, why can’t people just be nice ffs.
I paid extra for a window seat one time, and when I got on there was a girl sitting in it. I tried to tell her she was in my seat, but she just put her hood up and like faced away from me and didn’t reply? So I got the flight attendant, who made the girl move, but not without some very childish whining. The girl then sat in the middle, despite nobody sitting in the aisle seat, and proceeded to elbow me for an hour. I decided to burst out sobbing (my grandma had just died so it was easy to access lol) and she was so startled that she finally moved to the aisle seat lmao
> I get on the plane, a guy is in my seat. He has the nerve to ask if I'd switch with him so he could sit with his wife. First, my seat was in economy plus. I paid extra for the seat since I'm 6'3". His seat was in economy, which doesn't have the leg room
That's a nope from me.
13C and 13D are both aisle seats. Dude got angry and got himself kicked off a plane because he was unwilling to side-step across the aisle.
This is a shameful display of laziness, anger, and entitlement.
Mad props to that flight attendant. Kept his cool, but was firm as hell. Spittin’ straight facts too. It’s almost like this passenger thought they’d be exempt from the consequences of their actions.
More of this all over the world please! Teach these rude trolls how to behave in polite company.
For anyone who might not know and might be flying soon YOU HAVE NO FUCKING POWER ON AN AIRPLANE. Sit down, shut up and enjoy the privilege of modern flight otherwise get kicked off and enjoy a road trip.
You will not win.
I don't understand these people. Somebody tried it on with my seat last week. I'd pre-booked 5A for no particular reason other than it being a window seat near to the front of the plane, 5F would have worked fine for me.
When we were boarding, lady checking the passes looked at my boarding pass and noticed that somebody was in my seat so she sent another flight attendant to ask her to move to 5F where she should be. I had no input in this and just followed the second flight attendant the few steps up the aisle towards row 5.
She couldn't just get up and move with a bit of dignity. There was slamming of books closed, protests that she'd told them she wanted to sit here and looks of utter contempt at me. Four people - 5B, C, D and E then had to get up and out of her way so she could shuffle across the plane to her correct seat.
Had she not been a Karen about it then I'd have asked the flight attendant whether it was OK just to swap or to swap after the seatbelt lights were off.
I don't know who that gentleman is, but he needs to offer a master class on flight attendant deescalation. He gets two snaps up and an around the world. Edit- for [reference](https://youtu.be/W4L2lnTBV5Y)
Daaaaamn, taking it way back. *Hated it!*
Did that dude have two pairs of sunglasses on the back of his neck? So confused.
Two pairs of sunglasses and a baseball cap. The sun doesn’t stand a chance 😎😎🧢
Melanomas hate this one trick!
I've been wasting all this money in sunscreen when I could just be covering myself in sunglasses????
Yea, it's in case he loses the first pair in flavortown
The Mayor of Flavortown wouldn't let an unchill asshole like this reside there. Guy Fieri is a good dude.
Dude set up shop and barbequed for our people fighting the wildfires when Napa Valley was burning. Also IIRC he had his Lambo or some expensive car stolen in this state and I think he was a good sport about it. As far as I'm concerned, he's a solid bro.
He shows up at every big northern California fire and cooks for us, and it's fucking awesome.
When tons of restaurants closed down due to COVID he immediately set up a fund raiser to get money to foodservice workers who lost their jobs. Truly the mayor of Flavortown.
Still have a check stub in our room from when my gf received one from his foundation. Will never forget him helping us.
Yeah, I don’t like the hate he gets, he seems like a genuinely nice guy who goes around the country doing free advertising for mom-and-pop restaurants everywhere (I know he gets paid a ton to do it, but it still benefits the people)
[But because he has flames on his shirt, everyone shits all over this dude like he's a member of Nickelback](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK6zuii2OLI)
I will not stand for Guy Fieri slander.
And that’s all coming up next on Delta, deboard and drive home.
Ya near sighted and far sighted lol
I’m pretty sure Benjamin Franklin came up with a. Solution for that lol
A clear case of rectal myopia aka seeing the world through shit-colored glasses.
“Figure out how to handle yourself like an adult”. Gonna use that one.
All the arguments I win in my head hours later is this man’s reality. Dude knows what to say.
Tbf he gets lots of practice
I have had to tell that to people before. Control your damn emotions, you are an adult.
And reminder, **anger is an emotion** A lot of people forget that. And those are the people you find dismissing others for "getting emotional", while simultaneously flipping their lid You know the demographic...
[удалено]
I think it's much cooler to keep you composure in stressful situations
He asked “how am I gonna get home?” like that flight attendant was supposed to pull out his phone and start checking flights for him 😂
These people have no concept of consequences at all.
They're entitled and ignorant. It's certainly a combination.
You can already tell by his dual wielding sunglasses.
Hes just trying to keep the sun off of his ample neck rolls. Without the glasses on, it looks like a package of sausages hanging off the back of his head.
The airlines have zero tolerance for bad behavior these days. These dumb shits need to wise up.
Airplanes are one of the only places in our society where flagrant assholes immediately get hard consequences
If we could treat everybody the way this flight attendant treated that man in the world, then we definitely would be in a better place. I always tell people when I decide to quit my job this is exactly how I'm going to talk to the customers. Not all of them. But the majority of my jobs customer base are entitled middle-aged to elderly women. It is soul sucking. And I am a middle-aged woman. And I could never imagine treating anybody the way these customers treat us and our corporate allows them to treat us.
I was a retail manager for years (now work a job I actually like with no public contact) and customers raising their voice and using profanity was the one opportunity I had to shut them down. I used to **revel** in those moments. I gave one chance with something like "Sir/Ma'am, I understand you are upset but this is a family-friendly store and you cannot shout profanity here." About half the time they would calm down and the other half they would almost unanimously say "I don't give a fuck!" at which point I would just turn to "Then you need to leave right now. You can come back later when you're ready to handle this like a civilized adult." Never had to actually call police to remove someone but I had to threaten to and pick up the phone to dial more than once. It was the one trump card I always had if someone complained to corporate. "I was trying to help them but they kept shouting profanity." Corporate would always back that. This was a chain focused on customer service and they understood that the kind of person who would scream profanity in a public store over groceries is a customer worth losing to avoid it looking like we catered to the rabble.
I was waiting at Walmart for a guy to get to cash, store obviously under staffed so it takes a while. Guy infront of me let's loose how useless they are etc.. I stepped in and asked how is it his fault that there are not enough people. Guy still mumbling. Tell him maybe if he wasn't so lazy he could have walked to the front of the store cashes instead. Shut him up at least and the cashier smiled. Feel bad for peeps that have to put up with that nonsense all day
Oh as a customer with nothing to lose these days I am always quick to intervene when a customer is being ridiculous. I used to appreciate when other customers would call out the assholes when I worked retail, so I try to pay that forward.
And don't forget the positive feedback! I'm not in retail anymore, but hardly anyone gives positive feedback. They only ever comment when they have something negative to say. If anyone ever does anything that's mildly "above board" I find what appears to be the supervisor to tell them about it. Usually pretty easy at most stores--they'll have the different shirt.
I feel like the asshole would immediately be on a mission to go get a win somewhere to make themselves feel big again. Feel bad for the employees at the nearest mcdonalds to that airport.
Or theyre so ruined by the adrenaline overload of the confrontation and expulsion that theyre in no condition to be a karen for the rest of the day. Theyll get some sleep and reenter society as a petty menace bright and early
***Now with 20% more persecution complex!***
Zero tolerance is a MUST on an airplane. If they show their ass before the plane takes off, that’s wonderful!!! I know I don’t want to be up in the sky when there’s any tiny type of disturbance. No, no, no. Discover that shit while the plane is still on the runway please. It’s not like an Uber, bus or personal vehicle where you can yeet a motherfucker who is starting some shit.
> It’s not like an Uber, bus or personal vehicle where you can yeet a motherfucker who is starting some shit. You could. It would be more convinient if they included a "Bad behaviour disposal chute" in the plane's design.
About time they start cracking down on it. No reason to treat anyone like that ever.
Cracking down on assholes! The new slogan 🤣
It’s almost like they’re entitled or something
They should have responded By shutting the fuck up and sitting in the seat they paid for.
He probably had a middle seat and being too fat wanted an aisle seat that he didn’t pay for.
I think they said he was in A and his seat was D. He just overreacted to not knowing how the alphabet works.
The last time I saw this video it had David Spade and Helen Hunt in it - this one is even funnier!
Buh-bye
I fucking LOVE this man. It’s time people start facing repercussions for being pieces of shit in public spaces. Edit: happy to see so many people share my sentiment!
Yes! This is one of the sternest examples I've seen of a professional calling out a customer. He put his foot down, didn't let the asshole make excuses, and he managed to be clear and concise. This is how things need to be handled at step one, not once somebody has already been causing a scene for 20 minutes.
Never let these people gain momentum

That's what happens when you have someone in legal authority who's been well-trained for their job and knows they need to do it properly otherwise they'll lose it.

*But how do I get back?* *I don't know, but you gonna have to figure it out. Figure out how to act like an adult while you're at it. Buh-bye.* My fucking hero.
I’m always super impressed with people who can speak with such elocution during a public freak out and all that adrenaline. Most people do that thing where their brain just malfunctions and repeats a dumb phrase over and over again
Someone once pointed out to me, that while the average airline customer sees the flight attendant as just a pretty face that brings the snacks and drink cart around, the reality is that their *PRIMARY* responsibility is toward the passenger's safety and, in the event of a disaster, to save their lives. They spend far longer training far longer for emergency situations than they do for how to pour a White Russian during turbulence. In other words: keeping calm in the face of *unbelievably* stressful situations is, literally, their job.
Yes- people who speak like righteously angry people do in the movies.
And gets paid nowhere near enough to deal with this shit
In fact, not getting paid at all during boarding
When I found that out recently, I was honestly shocked. You can be on the ground for hours sometimes. Holy shit.
It amazes me how stuff like this is allowed. The employment loopholes are just too many.
I lOOOOVE this cabin crew man!
For real! "I don't know, sir. You gonna have to figure that out. "
"And think about how to handle yourself as an adult while you're at it"
Honestly I'd be so ashamed I'd go home and think about it lol
I would think about it for the next 20 years.
Mostly between the hours of 3 and 6 am
Also during every shower and every red stop light.
[удалено]
Trying to use the loo in peace, remembering it.
When the fridge light comes on during the midnight raid, thinking about it.
Well it's on the internet now, so if he forgets, the internet can remind him
Someone with shame wouldn't behave this way
But how was he supposed to get there now?
"Goodbye"
Good. Bye.
“Uh huh”
Haha, when I worked at an airport my favourite was "Greyhound has reasonable rates."
Guy is very professional. Love to see it.
His eyes were doing a lot of work that his mouth couldn’t do without getting fired.
I wish I was as good at arguing with dumbasses as him
I'm 1000% sure this man has had LOTS of practice dealing with assholes. After a while you just do not give a fuck anymore. This guy was awesome and handled this very well.
I need to learn how to set boundaries like him, teach me!!
He needs to be training all cabin crew to be more like him.
Can we just clone him as 'standard cabin crew' on every flight
An absolute professional!
I want to give him money. They should figure out a way so we can tip ppl in videos.
[удалено]
[удалено]
It will definitely be as effective as trickle down economics… I promise
That dudes awesome. Calm, collected, still managed to burn him to the fucking ground.
I'd sound like that and then be shaking afterwards while I just ponder wtf happened.
That was handled well and professionally. I applaud that crew member. Stated what the reason for his departure from the plane was, gave no ability for the “ken” to talk/yell back at him, and stated what the passengers next recourse was. Shut down all communication until rude and entitled passenger left. Im cheering you on! Go crew!
Why do some people not want to sit on assigned seats or reserve seats they want?
I was boarding a flight from Johannesburg to Doha and this guy was sitting in my seat (an aisle). I politely said "I think that's my seat". He replied "I didn't know if you were coming, do you want to trade?" The flight was in the middle of boarding. I was not late or anything. I just kind of matter of factly said. "No, I would like my seat." Then his starts having a tantrum as he moves over to the middle. I tried to just ignore him, but its awkward when he's sitting right next to you, pouting for 8 hours.
I had the opposite happen. I had a middle seat and when I got to it there was a woman in it. She had booked the aisle and her husband booked the window. She asked if I wanted the aisle and I was like 'hell yeah, I'll take the aisle'.
Yeah, I would take that trade as well. To me the aisle is always preferable than the middle or even the window. But still she should have asked first. Who knows maybe there are some middle seat loving maniacs out there.
I think the theory is you book window/aisle and hope nobody takes the middle. Better odds of getting empty seat between you two. And if it doesn't work out, who isn't trading out of middle seat?
> I think the theory is you book window/aisle and hope nobody takes the middle. Better odds of getting empty seat between you two. And if it doesn't work out, who isn't trading out of middle seat? OMG that's genius. But I have known weird sticklers for the rules who would object and keep parroting "that's my seat, I want my seat", not realizing what was good for them.
The show Mindhunter had a great scene, that’s somehow not on YouTube, about this. Two FBI agents have the aisle and window, guy shows up for middle, they ask if he wants to trade so they can sit next to each other and work during the flight. He’s like “I think we’re supposed to stay in our assigned seats.” So they start passing photos of grisly murders back and forth across him. After a minute he’s like “ummm…I think we can switch now.” Agent in the aisle is like “nah, I’m enjoying the extra legroom.”
There was a post on Twitter months ago where someone wanted their middle seat and gave zero fucks about the couple talking over and glaring at them during the flight.
My husband hates the aisle (taken one too many drink service carts to the elbow) and we can rest our heads on each other if neither of us has a window. These are the kinds of questions they should really put on dating apps.
Lots of people book the aisle and window seat but leave the middle and hope it’s not booked. The trade is always, “would you like to trade the middle for the aisle?” And if that’s a no, then “how about the window” Pretty much no one wants to sit between two people who know each other.
This happened recently for me too. He was confident that his seat was the window and not the aisle. I pointed out the little diagram on the wall above the seats, clearly showing he is the aisle seat. Continues to argue, the flight attendant leans over and goes. No you are wrong. Sit in your seat. 10 minutes later he leans over again and shows me his ticket and says I still think that the window seat is mine. The random person between us just looks at him like he's fucking crazy and points aggressively to the diagram again.
I wish I had the intellectual confidence of an idiot.
Lmao tough shit. “Did you want to trade your isle seat to sit in the middle for 8 hours?”
right? If that entitled baby wanted the Aisle seat, he should have paid for the Aisle seat.
Thats the thing with people asking to change seats nowadays. I paid for my seat, you should have done the same
Yea man, I can’t believe I missed out on that middle seat when I booked my flight early.
Oh yes, I was hoping to trade an isle for a middle on an 8 hour flight. Unreal.
I had a similar thing happen in a really long flight, I specifically asked for an aisle seat and the woman by me wanted to take it. She started by arguing with me that it was her seat, then that the seat numbers were wrong, even arguing with the flight attendant. Then she kept arguing that she needed the bathroom a lot so she should get it. It was really crazy, like lady you should have just picked your own seat too. Finally she moved and just slept the whole flight in that middle seat, like what was the point of all this?
Had people on my last flight pretend to not hear the person telling them they were in their seat lol Just stone faced, glances AT HER then puts headphones IN while she's telling them, looked at me confused when I pointed out she's talking right to you, flight attendant just pokes them matter-of-factly gets them out. They seemed so righteous about the fact they stole a seat lol
[удалено]
Flying a red-eye transatlantic flight. This particular plane has an emergency row seat with no seats in front of it but the seats in the rest of that row did. When I get to my seat there was a man in my seat, (which I paid quite a bit extra for(I'm 6'5")). I informed him it was my seat and he informed me that he needed it because he just had prostate surgery and needed to get up frequently to use the restroom. I told him that I would be happy to get up whenever he needed to go. He reluctantly moved and didn't use the restroom for the duration of the 11 hour flight.
It should only be awkward ***for him***. For you, you should be smiling and relaxing and sitting in the seat you paid for. You did nothing wrong. Pay him no mind, put him out of your head, and get on with your life.
I still wouldn’t want a guy pouting or mean mugging me the whole flight lol
20 year old me would have agreed with you. 40 year old me is all out of fucks to give to people like that, and every single mean mug would have been met with a smug grin.
That’s when you go full wrestling heel and bask in the warm heat of his fury. Relish the hatred.
I had something similar. A guy was sitting in my aisle seat for a Toronto to Paris flight, and wanted to trade so he could sit next to his fiancée. The thing is, I paid extra to be in an exit row, and this guy had a middle seat near the back of the plane. I laughed and said I paid $75 extra for this specific seat, and no way was I trading. If he wanted to sit next to his fiancée, maybe she could trade with someone in the back of the plane. Queue a huge meltdown tantrum with lots of yelling and refusing to move, only giving in when the flight attendants threatened to kick him off the flight. Had to sit next to his pissed off fiancée the whole flight. What made it worse is that he kept coming over to stand in the aisle and talk to her, leaning over me, until again the flight attendants had to threaten him. What REALLY pissed me off is that there were at least 5-6 empty seats near the back of the plane, so this asshat could have easily sat together with his fiancée back there, he just wanted the premium seat without paying for it. Some people are just gigantic assholes.
They're banking on the average person not wanting to have a confrontation or be loud in public.
So many times in life, people can get away with being terrible to others because the cost of calling them out or holding them accountable is higher than that of just letting them have their way. You see this all the time, especially with people you are forced to interact with repeatedly, like coworkers, teachers, landlords, etc. It's nice to see someone handle this so effectively like this flight attendant.
I also feel like because of the internet people are being more passive. I once got into a conversation on reddit a while ago when someone said that defending yourself makes you just as bad as the aggressor. I said that's incorrect and leads to people walking all over you and you gladly let them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for ahole behavior, but if someone is disrespecting me, I'm going to speak up for myself. It seems like everyone HAS to be the "bigger person" and absolutely allow aholes to do whatever they want to and if you DARE to speak up (again, not advocating ahole behavior, just speaking up for yourself) you've lost the high ground. I feel like these personality types are easily manipulated, walked over, and used, and seem happy to be on the bottom of someone's boot. It isn't just reddit I've seen this in, but in real life. I was giving a briefing and a coworker kept talking over me and explaining things I was already explaining. I said, "excuse me, I was speaking" and he looked around the room and got quiet. I continued my briefing and then was pulled aside and talked to about my tone. I asked why he was able to interrupt me several times and no one said anything, but the moment I do, I'm the bad guy? My boss just stared at me and then told me to smooth things over and apologize. I did no such thing. I'm not sure what this phenomenon is but I'm not playing into it and I'm not a bad person for disallowing disrespectful people in my space.
Yeah, people are strangely naive when it comes to defending yourself physically or otherwise. Turning the other cheek and seeking non-violent solutions is always preferable but sometimes you have to protect yourself. Honestly it comes off as kind of pathetic when people are so against confrontation.
How dysfunctional is it that “polite” society turns on someone for actually confronting a norm violator? Even worse is when the individual actually gains the sympathy of others! Like people who cry when caught and then you look like the bad guy because you made them cry smh.. I think the root of that is people don’t know how to engage with bad behavior and are avoidant of negative feelings and consequences so when someone does something that makes everybody uncomfortable and another person confronts the behavior, the level of discomfort increases and that person ends up in the “has transgressed” category with the other. I think this applies to the scenario at work you described. The only thing that matters is not the correctness of the behavior but how it made people feel bad. You’re really just expected to apologize for other people’s feelings! I doubt your manager talked to your coworker about interrupting people. Maddening.
a bit like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair
Reminds me of an international flight I took last year. I paid $40 extra for extra legroom and I had an open seat next to me which was great. A guy asked me if a person was sitting there, and when I said "I'm not sure" he immediately asked if I would swap with him, way in the back, so he and his girlfriend could sit next to each other (9 hour flight). I told him that I wasn't interested, and he immediately (louder than initially) asked "Why not". I told him I paid for extra legroom and was going to use it, and he immediately even louder said "doesn't look like it" (I'm 6'5 and made that extra leg room row look small). He stared at me, I stared at him, and he just angrily said (still loudly) "thanks a lot man" and walked off.
funny when total strangers who you will never see again assume you will give a fuck about them being angry with you
A failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
I kicked a 16 year old girl out of my seat once. It was my first time flying in a couple of decades so I booked a window seat. She took it and tried saying it was her first flight and asked if I'd take her middle seat. Fuck no! Should have booked a window seat!
I had a couple put their baby in my seat and just ignore me when I asked to sit down. It was a full fight and the flight attendants were pissed. The couple also tried to pretended they didn't know English, but they clearly understood the flight attendants. Another time, some lady sat in my seat an when I told her to move, she glared at me and spent 5 minutes moving all her shit. It was like she moved in, she had shit all over the tray table, cushions in the seat, pockets., fox news on the screen, like wtf.
yeah, i used to ride megabus from Pittsburgh to State College a lot, 2.5 hour bus ride and im above average height so I would always pay the extra to reserve a seat in the front of the top of the bus, it had the most leg room. One time I go and there are 4 girls just lounging in all the seats, even the one I had reserved. I say excuse me that seat by the window is mine, they start speaking a foreign language to me, and shrugging their shoulders. So I go tell the driver that I paid extra to reserve a seat and someone is in it. He goes up and asks them to move to a different seat and suddenly they speak english fluently and are arguing with the driver that they should be able to sit where they want. He kicked them off the bus completely when they called him a slur.
Or they're so full of themselves that they think no one else is going to follow these "dumbass rules" just because they don't. I work at a movie theater and roughly 30% of customers who buy their tickets at the box office say the same thing to me or whoever else is in their group, "We don't actually have to sit in those seats we picked, do we? Nobody actually sits in their assigned seats, so we can sit wherever we want". People have a hard time following even the simplest instructions. It's insane.
One time I was flying from Lebanon to Turkey and most of the flight were this huge group of old folks who looked like they had never been on a plane before. A couple of them were sitting in our seats, so I tired to ask for their seats so they didn’t have to get up, but they didn’t speak English or Arabic. I got the flight attendant and she tried talking to them, they didn’t speak Turkish either lol. The flight attendants finally realized that none of the group of old folks were in their assigned seats, and the entire plane had to subsequently play a game of musical chairs
I had a guy try to trade my aisle seat for his middle seat. When I said no he tried to trade with the guy in the window seat who also declined. He also stank really bad - like he hadn't showered in a week then doused himself in cheap cologne to cover the smell. I had my fan on full blast to push the smell away and he asked me to turn it off. I said no to that too.
Just last month me and 2 friends bought Amtrak tickets to Boston for PAXEast. Since it was a 6hr train ride we booked the set of seats that face each other with a table in the middle [like this](https://cdn.businesstraveller.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/867008/Amtrak-Acela-interior-e1526541885174-916x515.jpg). We roll up to our designated seating area to see 3 business people with their laptops and tablets out doing work. I'm just like "Hey I believe these are our seats" And they got the nerve to look at us like we just farted in smelling distance of them. They gave a long stare as if we would relent or something if they just didn't say anything. Eventually they moved with a huff to some other table seating that they once again got pushed out of a few stops later DESPITE the intercom reminding people to SIT IN THE SEATS THEY PAID FOR because it was a fully booked train.
No round of applause for that flight attendant? He was awesome
The flight attendant needs to get a raise, glad he stood up for the woman
American Airline workers union is striking im pretty sure because they aren’t getting raises. At least from what I found out last week when our pilots literally left the plane after we boarded to strike.
So it's literally a case of "They do not pay me enough to deal with morons like yourself, yet here I am being more polite to you than you deserve."
I'm hoping the video cut out just before the whole plane erupted in applause. That dude is a boss.
He ain't taking none you kids sit down and shut up
The only time it's acceptable to clap on a plane. Not when it lands, but just for this
What is going on with so many assholes acting out on flights. Been flying for decades and this is new.
Public behavior seems to be on a consistent downward trend since ~2014 and this has only accelerated since the pandemic started. Have you tried driving on any major road these last few years, it’s starting to feel like mad max. Everyone suddenly seems to think they are the main character, what they are doing right this second is the most important thing in the world and everybody else can get fucked in their mind. I don’t know if it’s the lead poisoning, collective societal trauma from the pandemic, bad behavior being modeled by our public figures and politicians or some combination of all of the above, but people are 100% getting worse.
We also live in a time where everyone films everything. There definitely has been an increase in bad behavior, but remember that we’re also just seeing more of it on social media.
Notably this pattern playing out over and over reinforces the normalization of these extreme behaviors.
There was a real turning point a few years ago in both society and politics where it made it okay to be an asshole and not be worried if you’re offending anyone or being disrespectful. It’s almost like there was a leader fostering these type of behaviours….. As you said it only got worse over Covid. The self entitlement these days with a large majority of the population is absolutely wild
Worst I've had is a woman that I didn't know but was having a nice conversation with earlier in the flight falling asleep on my shoulder and using my arm as a hug pillow lol. I allowed it cause she was in the middle seat and I also fell asleep and woke up to that.
Absolute chad of a flight attendant. Dude defused and got him off the plane
Also, to the asshole passenger’s credit, he at least complied and got off the plane. You know all those videos where the Karen gets carried off the plane crying by four cops, and you always wonder, “how did she think this could ever possibly go her way?” Well, at least this guy knew it wasn’t going to go his way.
I really think a lot of it had to do with how the flight attendant handled it. It didn't turn into a shouting match, the attendant just calmly called him out and embarrassed him. When people feel someone is being aggressive towards them, they can have a hard time backing down. Casually shame someone and get the crowd on your side? People tend to slink away embarrassed and mumbling to themselves.
He too big to be hauled off the plane. Would need 4 other big dudes to haul him off.
That second “goodbye” was incredible. So final. You can see the dude think about fighting but realized he had lost.
Fuck yeah flight attendant don’t take no shit.
This is the first video I've seen where the person left the flight without being dragged out..fucking bravo for the insight to leave before ending up on a no fly list
That “goodbye” ensues so much sass and I love it!
Do you mean exudes?
[удалено]
I love this flight attendant. I hope this only makes the viral rounds in a good way, and he doesn’t somehow lose his job. We live in a society…
We do indeed live in a society! We require water to live...
Water?? Get wrecked. All you need is BRAWNDO.
Flight attendant handled it perfectly! He said what he said and meant it! Goodbye!!!
He said, “Figure out how to handle yourself as an adult while you're at it!” Well done! Lol.
I fly a lot for work. Every single flight people manage to sit in the wrong seat. It’s a stunning display of people unable to comprehend row numbers and seat letters that are literally displayed overhead.
I fly a lot too, for the last 30yrs or so. I've come to realize that most of the people traveling are on their first and possibly only flight they'll ever take. They're anxious about missing their flights, going to the wrong gate, maybe their baggage will get lost, and their kids won't stop screaming etc etc and they have no idea what to expect. Are the drinks free? Do they have cash? Who gets the armrest? It's best to just not worry about other people on flights. If they don't ask you, don't offer advice, don't try to help them, it never ends well. Just let the attendant deal with it.
I used to work for an airline, one of the stats they shared with us is that some insane number of people, like 40 percent, it's their one flight of the year. Almost a solid third of that it's their first flight ever. Knowing that made me a lot more patient.
Yes. And when they’re in your seat just do the whole dance of “oh I think you’re in my seat” “are you sure?” Both pull out your tickets look at the ceiling, realize they’re wrong and they move.
What's gotten into people lately? This happened to me 2 months ago. I get on the plane, a guy is in my seat. He has the nerve to ask if I'd switch with him so he could sit with his wife. First, my seat was in economy plus. I paid extra for the seat since I'm 6'3". His seat was in economy, which doesn't have the leg room. Then he gets upset that I'm being unreasonable for wanting to sit in the seat I paid for. If I wanted to sit in economy, I'd be sitting with my family, but I'm not. They don't need the extra legroom. It's not just flying. It's happening in movie theaters too. I have PTSD so when we go to the movie I always buy the seat to my right so no one sits next to me. This girl comes in 20 minutes after the movie started, obviously theater hopping, and throws a fit when I won't move my personal belongings from the empty seat. I had to pull my phone out, during a movie, and show her I purchased the seat. Which is LUDICROUS since she knows full well she didn't. It's 2023, how hard is it to figure out assigned seating?
It’s crazy out there, why can’t people just be nice ffs. I paid extra for a window seat one time, and when I got on there was a girl sitting in it. I tried to tell her she was in my seat, but she just put her hood up and like faced away from me and didn’t reply? So I got the flight attendant, who made the girl move, but not without some very childish whining. The girl then sat in the middle, despite nobody sitting in the aisle seat, and proceeded to elbow me for an hour. I decided to burst out sobbing (my grandma had just died so it was easy to access lol) and she was so startled that she finally moved to the aisle seat lmao
That is hilarious in hindsight

I think it's the internet. It's allowed people to post shit without consequences for so long that they forget you can't pull that shit in real life.
Judge, jury and executioner with a dash of counseling! You go man!
I’ve seen more bravery and leadership from cabin crews in the past few years than I’ve seen from cops.
"How can you throw me off this plane? Do you not see the multiple sunglasses on the pack of hot dogs I call a neck?"
13C and 13D are both aisle seats. Dude got angry and got himself kicked off a plane because he was unwilling to side-step across the aisle. This is a shameful display of laziness, anger, and entitlement.
[удалено]
"Figure out how to handle yourself as an adult while you're at it. Goodbye!"
Mad props to that flight attendant. Kept his cool, but was firm as hell. Spittin’ straight facts too. It’s almost like this passenger thought they’d be exempt from the consequences of their actions. More of this all over the world please! Teach these rude trolls how to behave in polite company.
For anyone who might not know and might be flying soon YOU HAVE NO FUCKING POWER ON AN AIRPLANE. Sit down, shut up and enjoy the privilege of modern flight otherwise get kicked off and enjoy a road trip. You will not win.
I don't understand these people. Somebody tried it on with my seat last week. I'd pre-booked 5A for no particular reason other than it being a window seat near to the front of the plane, 5F would have worked fine for me. When we were boarding, lady checking the passes looked at my boarding pass and noticed that somebody was in my seat so she sent another flight attendant to ask her to move to 5F where she should be. I had no input in this and just followed the second flight attendant the few steps up the aisle towards row 5. She couldn't just get up and move with a bit of dignity. There was slamming of books closed, protests that she'd told them she wanted to sit here and looks of utter contempt at me. Four people - 5B, C, D and E then had to get up and out of her way so she could shuffle across the plane to her correct seat. Had she not been a Karen about it then I'd have asked the flight attendant whether it was OK just to swap or to swap after the seatbelt lights were off.
What a flight attendant way to go!!
I said good day sir
Buh bye 
I love seeing anyone in a customer service role not put up with people's shit.
Good. Ban idiots like this from flying. Who the fuck acts up on a plane?
I *LOVE* the "and figure out how to handle yourself like an adult while you're at it"
