An out-of-control American Airlines passenger freaked out after she was kicked off the plane for playing videos on her loudspeaker.

A video posted on February 26 captured a female passenger erupting at flight attendants after she was asked twice to use headphones.

The woman is seen sitting in her seat, shouting profanities at the crew, before she is heard yelling: 'I played a video for 30 f***ing seconds, at 50 percent sound, and that's the f***ing reason you're kicking me off.'

Rodney King deserved it.

Sometimes my iPhone mysteriously goes to full volume after I inadvertently hit the “play” button. Those mystery swipes on the screen get you every time. Or pulling the phone out of the hip pocket and snagging the volume button (right after five pics of the inside of my pocket). I swear iPhone does this to get back at me after I growl at it.

I’m doomed to never fly again.

'I played a video for 30 f***ing seconds, at 50 percent sound, and that's the f***ing reason you're kicking me off.'

Charming.

This type of behavior is also very prominent among the ‘urban’ element. Listening to their music and videos at high volume on public transportation and in other public places such as medical offices (both of which I experienced first-hand), and essentially daring anyone to ask them to turn it down. They see it as a sign of “disrespect” that warrants a physical attack. How difficult is it to get a set of earbuds? They just assume that everyone wants to hear what they listening to and are “enjoying” it as much as they are. It is a power move. Anyone who has a problem with it is considered “racist”, so people just keep their mouths shut for fear of being labeled “racist” or catching a blade in the gut for showing “disrespect”.

‘I stopped after the second warning, I stopped it.’

A man and his new bride were riding on a horse. The horse stumbled. The man said “That’s one”.

They continued and the horse stumbled again. The man drew his pistol and shot the horse dead. The bride says “Why did you do that?”

The man says to his bride “That’s one”.

“”Glad the cops hauled her off the plane!””

“Haul” was ALL they could do - did you see the size of those legs?

[Thank You Rush]

“”on her “loudspeaker” ? Probably she was watching a video on her phone””

Certainly makes more sense than having a “loudspeaker.”

She might have had a Bluetooth speaker nestled in all that cleavage.

“This ordeal comes after another major airline, United Airlines, quietly updated its policies to require passengers to wear headphones when listening to any audio or video on personal devices during a flight.

Under the revised rules, anyone who plays sound from a phone, tablet or laptop without headphones could be removed from the aircraft and potentially barred from flying with the airline again”.

I’m willing to bet you quickly turn the volume down. Maybe even apologize to people nearby you. Not leaving it play loudly and act like an entitled a-hole. There’s a difference

It took a couple of minutes before it got to ‘my feelings’.

“Things were so much more peaceful when cops had night sticks. “

I was just commenting about that the other day. Run your mouth or spit? Thump, thump, thump. Worked like a charm.

Miami to Tampa? She should have driven with the windows rolled down.

I don’t think they assume other people want to hear their crap. I don’t think they think of other people at all. THEY want to hear it, and that’s all that matters.

Ted Kennedy got bribed to push the Hart-Celler Act. Congress could repeal it if they wanted too.

She was really full of herself...how drunk was she?

[No name given]

Agreed.

Some people can’t accept any kinds of rules on their behavior whatsoever. She was vulgar, defiant, and obviously quite disruptive. Such conduct cannot be accepted in public, particularly in an airliner where it can lead to great danger for others.
