When one makes a claim that they have some sort of "deathly illness/allergy" then it would be in the carrier's interest to ensure she had medical clearance.....she stepped on a turd and they left it up to her to scrape her shoe off.
Deliciously ironic.....
Did she have an Epi-pen in her purse? Pretty irresponsible to walk around civilization knowing you may be stricken with your life threatening allergy and not have the proper medication to stop it.
My sister is allergic to pet dander and she has, at times, negotiated with flight crews to be seated away from passengers with animals. I just sent her an email suggesting she get a “medical certificate” so as to avoid this type of situation in the future.
I have a mild version of the same problem if the animal gets in my face. I flew last week to and from Pensacola FL and saw several furry beasts escorted by passengers. I think the analogy to handicap parking stickers is quite apt.
Personally, I’m more concerned with the people who board a plane with the flu or a head cold and proceed to sneeze like crazy, filling the air with their germs.
One thing I’ve noticed in recent years is people with allergies who act like their allergy is some kind of grave disability akin to being blind or missing a leg or something. They literally act like if you don’t turn your own world upside down to accommodate them, then you’ve done the equivalent of parked a Ferrari in a handicapped spot.
Methinks she just didn’t like dogs and decided to lie her ass off - lied it right off the plane...;-)
“handicapped parking has become unusable by people that need it in favorite of a group of fat fraudsters.”
How true! I have a handicapped hanger due to my hip. All the spaces are always full. Lots of minorities use that scam.
You normally don’t, but if you start claiming you have some life-threatening condition that may cause you to drop dead mid-flight, the airline might demand one.
I don’t go anywhere anymore without my 9 foot emotional support alligator.
I’m deathly allergic to 9 footers.
Since when does the airline have to accept the liability risk of putting a woman claiming a life-threatening condition on board a plane where what she has told them will provoke the condition already exists?
I ring the bell at Walmart at Christmas and I see the people who get out of handicap spots. About 20% are either fat or using grandma’s hangtag. The rest are legit. The handicap spots are always full.
Where do freepers live that they always see people with fake service dogs? I’ve rarely seen a service dog, except leading the blind in NYC, and I live in a blue state!
And as for the handicapped parking, I never see a fat person using one. Where I live they are always, always empty spaces.
Yeah I dont get that either. I am allergic to dogs as well and would never subject myself to having to sit next to one on a flight.. I would rather get off the aircraft. I LOVE dogs too, just cant tolerate the dander and it will make me sneeze non stop. So its either get off the plane, or sneeze non stop on the passenger with the “Service animal”
For some odd reason I never outgrew the dog allergy, horses get me too.. but I have 3 cats and they do not bother me.. my allergies are weird lol
I’ll complain about the abuse including my daughter’’s college roommate whose doctor dad signed a form so she could get an emotional support dog in their dorm.
It was a puppy, and the girl worked for shifts for 8 hours. Even though it was not my daughter’’s responsibility she gave up her free and study time to walk
My daughter was worried about the dog after she stopped living together.
Yes, i get it now. it was them asking her to contradict her assertion.
Colleges! It’s how kids get their pets in dorms or in apartments.
“I’ve rarely seen a service dog, except leading the blind in NYC, and I live in a blue state.”
Service dogs do not need any recognizable ID-——any dog being walked could be a service dog.
.
lol
Oh! So I’ll assume every dog I see from now on is a service dog, lol!
