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?

You know, if we let some snakes loose on the plane it would fix this problem!   Is this maybe an origin story?
