As I mentioned in this morning’s post, today is a travel day in Jeffsetter land. When I have connecting flights in Atlanta it’s always a rush to find the gate of my next flight. After I board the flight I find myself killing time before the plane actually takes off. This usually involves reading novels or checking my Facebook feed for something interesting.
While waiting for our flight to leave Atlanta this morning and noticed several friends shared a story on Facebook about a man live tweeting his feud with another passenger on his plane. I clicked through on the story to see what it was all about and could not help but empathize with the situation the man faced.
He was delayed on a flight to see his family for Thanksgiving. Presumably, the rest of his plane was delayed from seeing their families as well and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Except for a woman who decided to make it known that she was being inconvenienced most of all. After complaining loudly, treating airline professionals with contempt and being an all around asshat, another passenger decided that he was fed up with this passenger and decided to give her a piece of his mind.
What follows is an incredible documentation of the exchange by the fed up passenger, a man named Elan Gale (a producer of ABC’s the Bachelor) who took to Twitter to share his experience with the world.
While it starts off innocently enough, by the end of the exchange I found myself literally laughing out loud on the airplane as I completed reading the story. I am embedding the exchange below for your entertainment. Please don’t read if you find sarcastic humor and semi-profane language offensive – You probably would not enjoy the exchange.
For the rest of you, enjoy this hilarious exchange between Elan and Diane… it’s well worth the read.
