While in this case, an overbooked flight, I agree with you standing your ground and getting pissed, your overall “entitlement” to be an ass to customer service people because you are’t getting what you want at all times makes you look like a shitty person.

According to her quote to KHOU, cited in People, she said she would put him in his seat when they closed the doors. So that quite baldly says the child wasn’t in his seat.

And a two year old is not a baby. That’s a toddler. The sad part of this article is they are making this out as a statement against breast feeding a baby. You don’t strap in babies, but you do have to strap in a toddler.

...“look like a horrible person”. Customer service agents aren’t there to be abused because you don’t like the corporate policy. You guys booked an airline with a policy you knew you would find a problem and harassed a random worker with no control until they bent the rules for you (who knows if they got in trouble or…

“To which I march up and begin yelling”

You can do all of that without yelling or cursing or making threats or looking like an asshole.

I really doubt they were at all concerned about her job. And I’m sure another lab tech was perfectly capable of filling in for a few hours. However even if someone does have an “important job” it is no reason for them to be entitled to hold up anyone else (if that is what she was doing).

You sound like a fucking gem.

Is the cell phone video available? Everyone’s so quick to jump on the airline that it’s kind of funny. Until the video comes out no one knows, but just to spin some thoughts out there.

You’re very right. This is my opinion too. I want to be upset at his behalf, and part of me is. But part of me knows how tough it is to fire someone in law enforcement, especially someone so close to retirement. What I’ll be curious to see, if we ever find out, is what steps the department took to help him. Some law…

Playing devil’s advocate — we have no idea of the full story or his personnel file. Typically, civil service/public service employees are very difficult to let go. My husband worked for many years with a few pretty incompetent employees who were kept on simply because firing them was too much of a hassle for various…

To put it more compactly: if you change Obamacare’s name to Trumpcare but leave the rest of the program exactly the same, Trump’s poorly informed, cult of personality supporters will immediately reverse course and declare it the best thing ever.

THE “I’M A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER” garbage, these MLM people throw around....uuuuuuuugh. NO YOU ARE NOT.

I hate that I have invested thousands and 15 years into my incorporated business and have a fucking MLM rep tell me that they “run a woman-owned small business, too!”. No. No you fucking do not. Ugh. Lots of times even the reps don’t realize they are 100% being used as consumers and pawns in these schemes.

A woman in my book club QUIT HER ACTUAL JOB to “focus on growing” her Isagenix business. And there’s no logic to it- this is an extremely educated woman, divorced and (formerly) gainfully employed, so it wasn’t even one of those situations where you have a stay at home mom dependent on her husbands income, looking for…

In fairness, this cuts both ways. A lot of those racist, alt-right douche bags who marched with torches lost their jobs when their photos were posted publicly and they were not wearing work related clothes or anything.

Whatever.

I think we are seeing the current rise of direct sales that will eventually lead to a massive fall. In the end there will be a few of the mainstays (Avon, Mary Kay, Amway, Tupperware) but most will fail because it is too much about high pressure sales and loading up on inventory and more and more people are going to…

I’ve been off the sauce for almost 2 weeks & I’m feeling really good so far. Just wanted to say that if any of my fellow jezzies need some motivation to quit drinking, I definitely recommend the stopdrinking subreddit. Great community there & lots of the stories really hit home for me.

I can’t believe that Kendall tried to steal Rihanna’s look.
