Drunks On Planes

There have been a bunch of stories about people getting really stupid on airplanes.

Flight attendants are getting slapped around, people are being downright nasty, and the assholery is at all-time high levels.

On a recent flight an unruly passenger who appeared to be three sheets to the wind was duct taped to his seat.

He kept yelling.

And a couple of flight attendants came by and duct taped his mouth shut.

The other passengers cheered as if they were at a sporting event.

It was uncomfortable for me to watch.

The guy may have deserved it, but man, you can’t tape a man’s mouth shut when he’s been drinking.

What if he started to throw up?

And having someone tape your mouth?

There certainly has to be a better way.

I’ve flown quite a bit…

…I’ve never seen much in the way of rage.

I can see why it might happen though. The airlines don’t care much if they inconvenience a whole plane filled with people and sometimes when you voice your displeasure…

…they get even more impatient and miserable.

Miserable on miserable gets more miserable.

Flying sucks.

Nasty people in a confined space really sucks, but you can’t tape a mouth shut.
