Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.

Got off a flight today and shortly into it I felt the guy in back of me firmly pressing his knee into the seat back through the fabric.  First couple of times I shifted my weight back to let him know he was doing it.  Third time I turned around and said “you’re shoving your knee into my back and it’s uncomfortable. Please stop.” 
 

The dude loudly protested that he wasn’t doing it, and showed me that at the moment his knee was not shoved into the seat.  I just shrugged.  No more issues for the rest of the flight.  Why lie? Just say “sorry about that” and move along. 
 

(Before I’m asked, I was not reclining.)

I need the video of the fisticuffs

“A woman in her 40s and a woman in her 60s made counter allegations of affray,” the statement said. No further details were provided.

Affray is when someone uses or threatens “unlawful violence” toward another person, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, which prosecutes cases in England and Wales.

According to The Sun, witnesses said one of the women asked the other to remove her hat, and they allegedly punched each other. The argument then continued on the plane, according to The Sun’s report, before the two passengers were escorted off.

Had repeated line cutters during deplaning. First time I just shared a look with the semi-cute woman across from me

On the return flight, after waking up at the crack of ass and suffering all day with back issues, I went full Larry David and asked the dude if he was in a hurry to catch a flight. He said “yeah”

I responded “I guess I’ll allow it then”. That was that.

Of course, we were in Austin. What connecting flights are here? Is that a thing? I guess it is.

I probably was pretty close to being the asshole in this situation, but for fuck sake, im sick of line cutters. If we’re flying into DFW and we’re late. Everyone has to catch a flight!!!

Not someone inside the plane, but a SWA flight out of Dallas got cancelled preparing to depart due to taking some gunfire

Seems like that'd be the best reason to depart.

We're going to have to put door gunners on planes departing Dallas aren't we?

Flying back home after the gator-lsu game the plane was delayed going into Atlanta, because Delta. When we landed i jumped up, grabbed my carry-on bag, and told people “I’m sorry but I have to run to catch my plane- It started boarding 15 minutes ago”.   I ran down the length of the concourse, and I was literally the last person on the plane.  They shut the door before I made it to my seat.

I’m sure a ton of other people on my flight had connecting flights, but no fucks were given by me for pushing past anyone who would let me.

if I had even 15 minutes to make the flight I would’ve waited my turn - like I always do.   But the Delta app had already picked another flight three hours later and wanted me to hit the accept button. Aw, hell nah! I would do that after first giving this last OJ Avis commercial re-do a shot.

OK, who was this?

United Airlines passenger has been caught on camera violently kicking a seat in a fit of rage that resulted in him being restrained and strapped to one of the seats which he had taken such an issue with.

The exact date of the incident isn’t clear, although sources claim the outburst took place on a recent United flight from Austin to Los Angeles.

Video in the link.

21st century hassle.

In Mexico City, my wife and I were held up long enough that, in order to board our flight, we rode on a golf cart to the actual runway, as the plane waited to take off, and boarded by climbing stairs at the ass end of the jet. 
 

I would like to say we flew into Love, and went to the Egyptian for pizza, but it was a long time ago.

What's Love got to do with it?
