Today’s ‘feel good’ story.

I don't fly often, once or twice a year maybe. I hate flying. The claustrophobic spam in a can for 6 hours is frustrating, and sometimes requires deep breathing when I feel a minor claustrophic attack coming on. Plus I'm a moderately big guy, (about 5'11", 235) so if I end up in the middle seat it's uncomfortable, for at least me, and maybe my seatmates. I have moderate rheumatoid arthritis, so not moving for hours results in a painful “fold out.”

I usually skip the complimentary beverage, other than a small cup of water without ice to wet my mouth, in order to cut down on bathroom necessities.

But I do get good fares, coast to coast sometimes for less than $200. RT $400-500.

I suppose my problem is I'm a cheap b@st@rd, I could spring for first class, or at least another $40 for an aisle seat, rather than hoping the seat lottery will give me one for free.

My favorite part of the entire story is the fact that the 80-year-old man is the one who called her “Karen”. LOL

Please note that what follows is NOT intended to in any way excuse this woman’s bad conduct. Still, I think it is notable that in all of the many threads on this, it has not been pointed out that the confrontation with the old man was started by the old man. He heard the woman comparing herself (absurdly) to Rosa Parks and decided to insert himself in the situation to provide her with a history lesson. Again, for those who missed my initial disclaimer, this does not excuse her. I only note it because I have found in life that those who insert themselves in other people’s arguments often end up getting a response that is more intense then they were counting on. OTOH, this is how society polices itself. Food for thought.
