Strange Reasons For Getting Kicked Off A Plane

 A FEW STRANGE REASONS FOR BEING KICKED OFF AN AIRPLANE

In the news a little while ago, I read a section where it talked about strange and funny reasons that people have been kicked off an airplane before. I thought these reasons were funny and really entertaining, so here some of them are:

 1)   TOO EMOTIONAL: Two sisters were on an airplane together and were crying because they were flying to visit their dad who had recently had a heart attack. One of the sisters asked the flight attendant for a glass of wine, but the flight attendant (seeing that her eyes were red) said, “I think you’ve had enough,” even though the woman had not had a drink on the flight. Both sisters were kicked off the plane for being too emotional.

 2)   BAGGY PANTS: A twenty-year old college football player entered an airplane with saggy pants. He was kicked off the plane.

 3)   PRAYING: At a New York airport, a man was removed from a flight because while he was praying, a flight attendant told him to take his seat. The man said that he didn’t mean any offense, but he couldn’t follow orders until he had concluded his prayer.

 4)    OVERWEIGHT: A man was kicked off an airplane because he was overweight and the plane’s captain said it was a “safety risk” for him to be on the plane.

 5)   SMELLY: A man was asked to leave a flight because a few of the passengers on the plane had complained about an odor he had.

 6)   TAKING A PICTURE: A Miami photographer took a picture of a rude employee’s nametag. The employee told her to delete the picture, so the photographer did, but a few minutes later she was escorted off the plane.

 7)   FEEDING HER BABY: A woman was breast-feeding her baby on an airplane. When a flight attendant tried to hand her a blanket, she refused to cover herself and was asked to leaver the plane.

 8)   NON SMOKING: In the days when smoking was allowed, a man on a plane was a non-smoker and made a special effort to reserve a seat where smoking was not allowed. A lady took the seat next to him, and as soon as the “no smoking” sign went off, she pulled out a cigarette and began to smoke.  The man told her he would not tolerate her smoking next to him, but she ignored him. He complained to the flight attendant, who told him to quit complaining. The man took the cigarette from the lady and butted it. The lady then started yelling and cursing. The flight attendant showed her to a different seat. As soon as the plane landed, the man was kicked off the plane. He complained to the airline and threatened a law suit with publicity (he was a lawyer). The airline gave him two first class tickets to Hawaii.

 I really don’t like planes. If I had a choice between a road trip and an airplane, however, I would most likely choose the airplane. Cars are cramped and can get hot and stinky really easily, but airplanes can as well. At least airplanes get you to the place much faster than cars. I hope I never have a crazy, strange experience like the ones above! I like it better when I am not kicked off airplanes. Unless I get first class tickets to Hawaii! J
