FRIDAY'S FLIGHTS!
Hey! Were you on a friggin awful plane ride? Sat next to an awful person?
Got treated real bad? Bathroom? Puke? Rudeness? Write it on up!
December of 2006 I was traveling from
Orlando to LI MacArthur.
A woman (I will call her Mom) was sitting
behind another woman (I will call her single). Single was trying to lay
down and nap. Mom was with her Daughter and Hubby. Mom had her eyes
closed and Daughter wouldn't stop banging the back of Single's seat. So
Single asked Hubby about 4 times for the daughter to stop it, each time
he responded by rolling his eyes. Finally Mom opened her eyes and asked
what Single was talking about. Hubby told her she is complaining what
Daughter is kicking the seat. Mom started slamming HER tray table
against the seat, then put her legs over Hubby's lap and proceeded to
jam her toes into Single's back. Nice huh?
So Single got fed up (who wouldn't) and she
whipped her pillow back and yelled CUT THE $hit! Well - I was sitting
directly across from them and saw the whole thing. Everyone else who was
at an angle was defending Mom b/c 1) she had her daughter with her and
2) they couldn't SEE what actually happened. So Mom was grabbing
attention with "SHE HIT ME" and how traumatized her daughter is going to
be over the incident. So they start yelling. Flight grew starts to get
witness statements, etc. They were calling the ground crew to have to
cops there. So I called them over and told them my side. They stopped
the cops. They realized Mom was psycho! I gave Single my phone # and
told her I saw the whole thing if she ever needed a statement. What a
mess!
Everyone I tell this story to asks why Single didnt just get up and move. Why should she have to? Mom needs to teach Daughter how to behave in public!

This was way back in
December of 2000, but my folks decided to take the kids (and by Kids I
mean a late 30's daughter and a mid 20's son) to Cozumel for Christmas.
My sister had a kid and a boyfriend so they went along as well, seeing
that I didn't want to have to just hang with the parents the whole trip
and wasn't seeing anyone I figured Hey, I'll take my best friend
Sara! So off we go, flying from Little Rock, AR to Dallas, TX the
afternoon before our flight to Cozumel. This was back in the day
where Southwest had those seats that would face each other.. great for
leg room, so we're sitting down all happy that we have the row to
ourselves and no one staring at us, then all of the sudden, white trash
motorcycle lady plops down next to Sara.
We both try to just ignore her, but I swear the first words out of her
mouth were "You wanna see something really gross?" To which
we both respond in unison "Um, NO" she then proceeds to explain
for 20 minutes about this puss filled something or another behind her
ear, then about her kids being worthless blah blah blah.. But anywho,
that's my bad plane story....... Lucily the flight only lasted an
hour, but it's still a funny story to tell 6 years later.
