There's a difference between one statement (that probably everyone who's ever endured air travel has said at one time or another) and someone yapping on their phone for 16 hours in an area designated to be free of such annoyances. Also, the train lady was asked to be quiet and got pissy. I don't see where anyone asked the guy on the plane to please refrain from such language - they just booted his ass off.

Was the "shut the fuck up" light on overhead? I'm guessing no.

I get it, but maybe he was being a belligerent ass and they have a non-confrontational belligerent ass policy.

Maybe?

It says right in the thread title that he was talking like a NY'er.

Belligerent assedness is implied.

He was 'embarrassed' by being thrown off the plane, but not for swearing in front of a bunch of strangers? Tough shit. Suck it up. While this seems to be an over reaction, on the part of the flight crew, I fail to understand why people feel the need to swear, with impunity, in public places.

After flying from Albany to Dulles on Sunday and getting talkeddown to and cursed at by a 70 year old Guido... I doubt he just mentioned one "fuck" quietly to the person next to him.

Just sayin'

Agreed. When people use it as an 'adjective', they are rarely miserly in the number of nouns that they modify.

Fuck you, you fucking fuck.

You're from Jersey. I expect it.

Meh....don't worry about it....it's Boston cabbie speak for "Hey....good morning....what's up?"
