New Yorker booted off plane for talking like a New Yorker

They could have just slapped his wrists with a ruler, no?

What the fuck is this country coming to?

Yeh thats a little fucking redonculouse

How are airlines still in bussiness with so many lawsuits?

Because they keep creating new fees to generate more revenue that people will bitch about but continue to pay.

Seems like the airline industry likes to complain that it's hard to make a buck, and then they buy trouble by giving a fuck what people wear, and what they say to each other, and throwing people off their planes for ridiculously stupid made-up fucking shit.

Idiots going out of their fucking way to find trouble, if you ask me.

You almost wonder if the whole thing could have been fixed by direct confrontation. As in, if the flight attendant would have walked up to the guy and told him to watch his language or they will turn that plane around right now!

Then they'd be known as the airline that treats you like family!

Somebody needs to hire you for their PR...

Actually I have been thinking about freelancing myself for common sense

The second they did that fuckin shit to me, they would have really heard some fuckin swear words. And I would sue the Fuck out of them!!

someone is using this to sell their shitty books, yey...

Good Lord are we this stupid nowadays?

You know what's really fucking ghey? How the pilot always turns around, even if he is closer to the destination than to the origin. :skep:

Think of the children. The children for fuck sakes.

What the fucking fuck?

Absolutely retarded... if it went down exactly as he described it.

Agreed.

If you say that naughty word ONE MORE TIME MISTER, we're going to turn this plane RIGHT AROUND AND GO HOME!!!!

/epic mom voice

oh you can't have direct confrontation anymore, that might offend someone.....you say and do nothing to the person directly and bitch to everyone else about it later.

:lol:

Interesting how everyone's WTF'ing this case, but everyone cheered the one with the idiot that got Donkey Kong'ed off the Amtrak.

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?"

That.

I'll never understand people that are scared of a "bad" word. Though I choose to respect their sissiness and just smile politely and mumble my true thoughts.. :angel:

Canadians can swear up a blue streak too, especially Torontonians and Easterners. I'm an Easterner born, living in Toronto. Trust me, when I say that I don't need an education in that regard ;)

Still, when you're in a public situation, rather than with family or friends, it's seen as *polite*, to not tell people to cram their asinine opinions up their over-used bidirectional sphincters. Just for example.

Fuck what others think about my fuckin talk. I don't need me more education I be smart nuff. :)
