The unnamed woman got into a screaming match with a stewardess on a Spirit Airlines flight from Baltimore to Atlanta, in the US.
In the footage, the woman can be heard complaining to a member of the cabin crew that they refused to give her two plastic cups.
The flight attendant then sharply tells her: "You need to sit down, the seatbelt sign is on. Right now!"
But this only serves to enrage the female passenger, who rants back: "This is all about two plastic cups!"
A fellow passenger can then be heard getting in on the fight, calling out to the woman: "Just sit down, for God's sake, c'mon, trying to land a plane!"
But undeterred from her cup-claiming mission, the woman carries on demanding two drinking vessels.
Clearly riled, another passenger then steps in, telling her: "For Christ's sake, lady, sit in your f***ing seat". It then all becomes a bit of a free-for-all with fellow travellers calling out, including another woman who says: I'll buy you two f***ing cups."
But the angry woman just responds that everyone is being "disrespectful" to her.
Eventually, she returns to her seat without the cups after warning an unseen person that she's going to "wait for [them]".
While the footage was uploaded this week on to Reddit, it was apparently filmed some time ago.
Spirit Airlines has been contacted for comment.

Experience.
I think it was the “disrespectful” part.
Most of the obnoxious people I’ve seen on planes have been drunk (and men). But not always. Some people are just *ssholes without any drink.
In any case, there should be severe penalties for behavior like this, especially disobeying a safety request from a crew member. I think that is a felony isn’t it?
The plane was landing. During takeoff and landing (and in turbulence) everything has to be locked down and strapped in, including the flight crew and passengers. If the woman had lost her balance and fallen she could have hurt someone else. I hope she was arrested and charged to the full extent of the law ... but she probably wasn’t.
Besides that, who needs all that nastiness when you are trapped in a metal tube and can’t get away. I have NO tolerance for people who make air travel more unpleasant than it already is. And there seem to be more of them theses days.
People are stark raving mad these days.
“This is the kind of passenger who needs to be forcefully tackled and dragged to her seat and restrained.”
Come to think of it, maybe I’ll have those items in my carry-on the next time I’m stupid enough to get on an airplane. :>)
Nothing. It is expected at this point.
“Sounds like a member of the Dindu tribe.”
Ya think that she’s for Trump? :>)
“But she said I axed you nicely.”
Sounds like Queen Sheila.
Well, except for white people. And Christians. And gun owners. And pro-life people. And conservatives. And the Confederate flag. And home schoolers. And straight people. But everything else, yeah.
Without checking the video, I bet I can guess the race of Ms. TwoCups. She probably thought someone would offer her a free flight if she just kept up her ranting. We see it all the time in restaurants.
“Didnt. Even. Have. To. Look.”
If the cashier has any brains and any self-respect, he or she will vote for Donald rather than an continuation of things as they are.
+1.
I agree. There are few situations more disagreeable than being on a airplane. All decent people will be as considerate as possible of others.
Ah ... Spirit Airlines.
...
Chuck E. Cheese’s with wings.
I wonder where Plastic Cups Matter will strike first.
“Wheres the pepperspray and zip ties when you need them?”
But you can carry on a few pair of stinky, sweaty workout socks and a roll or two of Gorilla Tape. All in the name of being helpful to the flight crew, you know. :>)
Oh, and a taped-up roll of nickels that you can put in a sock in about 3 seconds wouldn’t be a bad thing to have, either. If you don’t want to tape it up before boarding, then go to the bathroom as soon as you’re allowed to do it, then stick it in your pocket.
The second I read “disrespectful” I knew what planet she was from.
