Unfiltered Story #352816

(A mutual friend of our family has invited us to go to Las Vegas with them over summer, and they decided to hook up us up with 2 front row seats.. These seats, as many would know, are really special from the others because we had maybe an extra foot of leg room. Our parents decide to let us take the “luxury” of these seats and sit a bit farther back. An elderly couple sits down behind us and gets settled in. A woman and her child walks down our aisle. She gets to our row, which consisted of a couple of Asian kids reading and using their phones. According to my sister, she gives us the “suspicious squinty eye look”.)

Sister: *elbowing me in the ribs*

Me: *annoyed and taking out my earbuds* What?

Sister: *points towards the woman*

Me: *catching on* Something wrong?

Woman: Yeah… You see, I don’t think you kids should be here, since you know, your parents aren’t around to take care of you, and it seems the older couple couple behind you don’t look all that comfortable, so, do you mind finding and sitting with your parents so these older customers can have more space?

(My sister and I both look at each other and have a really short eye conversation that pretty much went like this.)

Me: Should we? The old people haven’t complained so far.

Sis: IDK, [Friend] paid for these seats, and they’re pretty comfy.

Me: *out loud and to the woman* Uh, yeah. You see, we already settled down and we kind of paid for these seats. Uhm, I don’t think the people behind us really care all that much?

Woman: *menacingly* What did you just say to me?

Sister: *getting nervous* We really don’t want to move, b-because we paid for these seats?

Woman: *loudly and slowly* Can you understand American? Please let the older people behind you sit here so we can sit in their seats?

Me: *shocked and offended* Yes, we can understand you, and we’re not moving just so you can feel you did a good deed for an elderly couple who looks really comfortable right now, and so you can cheat us out of a good pair of seats.

Woman: *scowling and presses the Flight Attendant button while muttering under her breath* D*** C*****, taking seats and jobs.

(A flight attendant arrives and asks what’s wrong. The woman goes on an absolute s***-storm of a tirade and people are starting to look at the scene.)

Woman: *finishing up* So you can take these d*** c***** off of this plane. Let them work for their ticket. They’re just a pair of d*** thievies who stole our seats and pretend to be all goody two-shoes about it by staying quiet and reading good American books. *snatches the book out of my sister’s hands* Can you even understand English?! Can you?!

(At this point, my sister and I are pressing ourselves further away from this insane person and the flight attendant’s smile is shrinking by quite a few molars. Finally, the FA plays this gem:)

FA: Ma’am, I’m going to say this once, please leave these two customers alone. We have already checked their tickets and have concluded this is their seats. Please calm down and return to your seat, or else we will be forced to call the police.

Woman: *shrieking now* GOOD! THESE C***** DESERVE A GOOD WALLOP OF AMERICAN JUSTICE. *points and jeers at the two if us* Now you’ll get it! This is what you get for disrespecting your elders!

Me: Christ, can you just p*** off now?

Woman: *yelling* DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM? I WORK FOR [Some Company] AND I WILL SUE YOU IF YOU EVEN TRY TO WALK INTO THE BUILDING TO STEAL OUR JOBS

Elderly Man from Behind Us” Excuse, you said you worked at [Company]?

Woman: *instantly more polite* Yes, sir. Why?

Elderly Man: Because you just got fired the instant you said pressed the flight attendant button *pulls out wallet where it flashes CEO of Company, along with his picture*

Woman: *goes pale, looks at us, back at the man, and back at us*

(She then proceeds to TACKLE the both of us, screaming about how this was all of our fault that she lost her job, how we stole her job, and how we don’t deserve to live in America. Literally, the instant she tackled me and pinned be to my sister, she got hardcore tackled by an officer)

Police Officer: You are under arrest for assault and public indecency! This is your only chance to come with us, before we start using force!

(As the police officers bring the still cursing woman off the plane, our parents, who heard the entire coversation comes up to us.)

Mom and Dad: Are you two okay?!

Me: Yeah, we’re fine.

Dad: Well, she’s a crazy b****, ain’t she?

Sister: at least she said please the first couple of times
