Passive Aggressive Airplane fight

I seem to be in the minority in thinking that this is just really gross. Just plug your headphones in, and zone out.

A-hole, meet a-hole.

I don't think it's a hoax. The guy is a semi-known figure on the Internet. I feel like it would have been discredited by now if it was made up.

The lady sounds like a pill, but this guy totally lowered himself to her level--actually he went even lower.

Just when you think people couldn't possibly be any more self-important and immature... And that applies to both participants.

The "special stuffing" bit is where I stopped buying it, too. Regardless--yes, flying during holidays is awful, and people over-react. But she wasn't doing anything that was getting in his own way, and if it was seen as inappropriate, I would hope authorities would deal with it.

I can't believe a flight attendant would pass notes--with or without drinks. And there's no mention of anyone else reacting or even caring? By the end of the tweet-a-thon I felt he deserved any smack, fake or not, he got.

I read about this earlier. I believed it at first, but by the end of it, I thought it was satire and laughed my A** off. I deal with entitled guests all the time and I wish I could do what he did. If he did it at all. We all know this woman. We all would love to say this stuff to her. I find it brilliant and hilarious. I don't believe that what he says transpired actually transpired.

I know many "Dianes" and I would LOVE to tell them off. Maybe on my last day at my job.

"It's not all about you! You want an early check in? Nothings clean. Want a late check out? Pay for an extra night!"

I did that yesterday, actually. A guest wanted a 4PM check out. After telling him twice that the maids go home at 3, he said it was no bother for them to stay until four. I told him that he would have to pay for a second night. Since his business was picking up the tab, he said okay.

Yes, she was awful.

But he one-upped her in the Awful Dept.

Not to excuse the woman's behavior, but this kind of acting out before boarding is also SOMETIMES flying anxiety that has not been sufficiently treated/medicated.

Guys, it's a hoax. I'm on a private forum right now where the real story is coming out and it's a doozy. The producer of The Bachelor watched a woman walk up to a flight attendant and ask why there hadn't been updates in 30 minutes. She returned to her seat in row 12. Row 7, specifically 7A, was a mother, sitting next to her young daughter, who was sitting next the husband. Someone who didn't book the flight early enough kept trying to send unfinished wine and food to a woman behind the Bachelor producer and the flight attendant made him get up and carry it himself. The Bachelor producer sat there, watched the whole thing, then started tweeting up his story. At no point did anyone threaten anyone else over Thanksgiving or abused a flight attendant.

Someone working for the producer of The Bachelor keeps erasing anyone's comments contradicting his story. The witness I know is trying to figure out who to go to with the thrilling story of how the producer of The Bachelor sat there the entire flight with his headphones on alternately watching a movie and playing with his phone.

And now the producer of The Bachelor has deleted a lot of the story from his Twitter account. Like anything that would be actionable against him in a harassment and/or defamation case. No more eating anything in the story, no more photo of the alleged passenger, etc.

So far, the cancer story is only supported by the fact that, by Elan's own admission, "Diane" was wearing a surgical mask, and he could hear her breathing from several rows away. In the comments in one of the myriad articles about this, someone claiming to be "Diane's" cousin said that she was terminally ill.

I believe trentsketch's info is probably correct. Elan was bored and spun a tale to amuse himself and get attention. One thing, though. His own twitter remains intact. He hasn't deleted anything as far as I can tell.

My opinion on this thing hasn't changed. I don't think it's true, and if it is, it's really sad that people cheered Elan's actions, especially on Thanksgiving. He's also a massive hypocrite, posting in his blog that his actions were all about teaching kindness.

And it turns out to be a big, fat lie.
