Memo To: Pygmy lady w/ carry-ons...

[Scott_F]

Dear Pygmy-sized lady that boarded my flight yesterday. If your suitcase is larger than you are, even if you're sitting in first class with me, you do not have a god-given right to assistance getting it in the overhead. What I really loved was the half-hearted attempt to pick it up, knowing someone would offer to help. And, yes, I was the one that did it for you.

But, while you were standing there, while I was letting you sweat for a minute, did you really think your beloved Imelda Marcos shoe collection was too good for the baggage hold in the plane's belly? Did the gold bars you had in there breeze through security? Are you in that much of a frickin' hurry?

Do you realize that your bag is supposed to conform to the airline's standard, not the other way around? If you have to turn your carry on bag sideways to get it to fit in the overhead, you just screwed the person next to you out of their alloted space. But, I digress. It's way too easy for me to forget how important and special you must be.

Oh yeah, when the husband and wife who were on different rows approached you about swapping your seat with one of them... was moving back one row that big a deal? Good lord, you'd have thought this was your special good luck seat. The guy next to you didn't mind, but he was probably just happy to get away from your snooty self. Maybe he figured if the plane went down, he might be standing outside the pearrly gates, guilty by proximity?

To you, maven of the airline overhead workout, I offer my salue.

I think taking the high road just won you a place inside the gates Scott, as if your amps alone didn't warrant the ticket.

It seems to me the the phrase Common Courtesy is mis-labeled. People being courteous is NOT a common thing these days. I have also noticed that there's something about air travel that seems to bring out the worst in people.
I feel your pain brother!

Ya, the high road is good for the kharma.

Man, you get to travel a lot. I love it. I'm jealous, too.

Keep these threads coming.

[LesStrat]

Pathetic. She refused to move to accommodate a married couple?

Sadly, this type of behavior is becoming far too common.

[Gearjoneser]

You should have stuffed HER in the overhead compartment!

[timccart]

Did she have crying baby with her??

His amps alone do warrant the ticket.

Great story Scott_F. Seems that people just keep on getting more and more selfish these days.

Yeah, but did she have teeth?

The older we get the less tolerance we have for adult idiots but like you said in a recent post you get used to screaming kids. Funny how it works 2 ways, I think its because generally you want to like kids but eventually you've had enough of rude adults in your life.
Funny post!

Little kids are generally blameless for most of their actions. Adults are not.

Flat head works!!!! Now, if she had dentures that is a bonus in my book!!!!

BACK IN 1986, I was on a Korean Airline flight travelling from Seoul to NYC and paid for and was sitting in first class.

One of the Korean Lawmakers (Congressman) got on the plane a little later than everyone else and saw that I was sitting in seat 01B. He then walked up to the first class steward and told him in Korean (In my listening area - I read and write Korean and view) that I should be moved so he can sit in my seat.

The steward came up to me and asked to see my seat assignment. I responded that it is Seat 01B same as I am sitting in. The Korean lawmaker heard my response and got angry with the steward and demanded that I be moved, (Again, he was speaking in Korean). The steward again asked me to see my seat assignment and this time I responded with two questions, 1) Did the airline overbook first class seats 2) He should check the manifest and see that I am assigned that seat.

The steward then came clean and told me that the 'Gentleman, requesting my seat belongs to the Korean Congress". So I responded with my 3rd question... Did he purchase a first class ticket?

The Korean laymaker got really angry and started calling me a 'SOB' in Korean so then I responded in Korean with the following question... "Didn't your mother teach you to treat others with respect? My mother did and she is not a dog!"

The steward looked at me with a shocked look on his face and apologized for the rude behavior of the Korean lawmaker, who was asked, then told to go to his seat in business class.

Payback came quick, when we landed in USA I made sure to tell the custom officer that that older asian guy was bragging how easy it was to find asian-american kids to have sex with in USA. They detained him...
