Assume for the moment the flight attendant was not nice. It is still hard for me to imagine a situation getting so dramatized that I leave a scheduled flight and book another one for my destination, delaying me and my family (and the plane) for hours and hours -- over a SPILL? A SPILL?

C'mon. What do normal people do in a situation like that? Answer: they work it out.

I assure you whatever happened they did not leave that plane voluntarily, or if they did she was out of her mind with indignant estrogen. They were almost certainly kicked off.

The truth here is obvious. Victoria made a butt out of herself, Joel suffered through it like many a husband would, and when either she stomped off or they asked them to deplane he was relieved.

MY , what an ugly shade of green.

Yup. I had a seat that someone had spilled on on a recent flight. Did I yell at the flight attendant? Did I make a scene? Nope. I got a blanket from the overhead bin and put it on the seat, all folded up. Problem solved.

You don't get thrown off planes for complaining about a wet seat. You get thrown off planes for doing outrageous stuff.
