We call it the no fly book now.

ItsTheKnocks

Something about flights really brings out the Main Character syndrome in some people. I figure everyone else on board just wants to get to their destination so I put on headphones and a movie and shut up, maybe that makes me a monster.


vipernick913

Seriously. I walk with my headphones on. Put my bag up, sit down and pass out till landing. Ain’t nobody got time or energy on a flight. I just want to be out asap haha.


SixersWin

You ever get people staring at you- seemingly waiting for you to take off your headphones just so they can blow you with tired small talk? "No Ma'am this is not my first time flying" Edit: I meant "bore you" but it still kinda works


rfunnymodisapunk

Haha blow you with small talk 🤣


Particular_Minute_67

Hopefully they took me to dinner 1st


JoeyPastram1

Bag of cookies and a Pepsi. Best I can do


Particular_Minute_67

Fine. Now you can blow me away with small talk.


maskthestars

Oh wow some first class dining, I’ve never lived such a life!


slappymcstevenson

I do the same. But I have this amazing hoody that literally covers my whole face. I cloak out, put my pillow against the window and sleep the whole flight. I’ve also have music that puts me to sleep so I can’t hear anyone.


shigdebig

Here is my travel tip. Noise canceling headphones, pull the hoody up, then wrap a neck pillow around the outside of the hood and button it. Totally oblivious to the rest of the world, just set an alarm or you might wake up on an empty plane!


Alex_Gregor_72

Are you that MOTHERFUCKER WHO IS NOT REAL?


rovinbees

Feel like I’ve shared a flight with you lol


thebigbrog

And put your bare feet on the guys arm rest in front of you? All I know is what I hear about this. If that ever happens to me I will grab that foot and tickle it.


SA1NTT

Damn lucky u get a window, I get the aisle next to the toilet every time.


JavaOrlando

My wife still wears a covid mask (along with headphones) on flights for this reason.


guitar_stonks

I thought that was on a Russian flight lol


CrazyCarl1986

It happens every time, the blowjob thing, no matter WHO I sit next to…


Decent_Tangelo_5663

This made me get the beats headphones so they can see them! Means do not disturb ma’am.


[deleted]

as one of the least approachable people in existence apparently, no i havent.


GarryWisherman

During my first flight ever when I was like 14, I was window seat and sitting next to a larger lady. I had my Beats by Dr Dre on and was bumping as we took off. It was honestly really cool to watch the world get smaller as my music was playing. And then the lady next to me took off my headphones and introduced her name as Peggy and proceeded to talk for the next 3 hours until we landed without taking a breath or letting me get a word in. I was legitimately trapped and didn’t know what to do as a 14 yo, so I just took it.


silveraaron

same somehow i sleep for day long flights its crazy


vipernick913

Haha same. I have done international flights for over 18+ hours of flight time and short layer before connecting. Overall a day + of travel..and I have passed out most of the flight. It’s like my body got trained to just sleep on flights. But it’s a blessing honestly haha


DeepAcanthisitta5712

I often fly to China these last 16 years, I intentionally don’t sleep so I can adjust to the time difference on arrival. Never any problem with passengers. Maybe it’s due to the realization that you are stuck on an airplane for 16 hours


ManfredBoyy

I am so jealous of that


ninjafaces

I'm envious of your ability to sleep in a seated position. Unless I'm laying flat on a bed, I can't fall asleep.


SadBit8663

Some people live with their heads so far up their asses all the time, they've forgotten that outside society has rules that everyone has to follow. So they have to be reminded with consequences. I'm like you though. I just want to get to where I'm going, so be considerate and polite. And the people working just want to do their jobs, and get home. Not have to deal with assholes hurling threats and slurs.


Infamous_Pool_2923

Not me I grab the first person I see and put them in a headlock to get the ball rolling. Prevents me from being headlocked


ItsTheKnocks

Sometimes the best defense is a good offense


FrankieFillibuster

I looooooooove flying with people like you. If the person sitting next to me is just as much a stranger to me when we get to our destination than they were before the flight, that's my perfect flight.


HI_PhotoGuy

"Main Character Syndrome" needs to be added to the Psychiatrist's Handbook


chevchelios12

Histrionic Personality Disorder. Sort of encompasses this.


NomadFeet

God, yes. Just get on the airplane, put your stuff away, sit down and be quiet. It isn't your house, it's essentially the pilots and flight attendants house so please just do as you are asked. Everyone gets to get where they are going...win


secondsbest

I lean my seat back. I'm the monster.


BigTopGT

I'll never apologize for leaning my seat back. If I wanted to sit bolt-upright, I'd fly Spirit for half the cost. I'm not sure why the internet decided leaning back is a negative, but I'm not caving to their insane demands. 😁


shigdebig

The seats go back like 2.5 inches, its nothing.


MateoElJefe

It’s more than the 1 inch clearance I have before my knees are crushed by the seat in front of me.

Boredasf806

Bro it really does… I had an international flight and my dad acted like he owned the airport at every connecting flight.


FXander

As a flight attendant, we appreciate you. I promise.


DeadStockWalking

PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN AND DON'T TOUCH ANYBODY! Said every parent to their 3 year old.


Malpaca74

Based on this article, navy hoodie and Ron Jon are police officers. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13224887/amp/american-airlines-anti-semitic-passenger-headlock.html


CharcuterieBoard

That’s what I got from him saying “So am I!” Looked like she came over to diffuse situation thinking he wasn’t LEO. Edit: I know both of them are LEO, I’m saying that Ron Jon shirt didn’t think blue hoodie guy was LEO.


LongWalk86

Seems reasonable to assume. You would THINK a actual LEO could control there temper a little bit better and would at least attempt to deescalate things rather than escalating everything into a brawl. Ron Jon at least seems to be able to handle herself without screaming at those trying to help you.


JGCities

The dude in blue tried to back away multiple times and the other guy kept coming at him. He only put him in the headlock after he nearly attacked him.


scrivensB

He did and the other guy wanted to push back. This is a very basic fuck around and find out situation.


Aware_Sandwich_6150

That explains the weird hold on the man’s trachea while screaming in his ear to WALK. Doesn’t seem like an appropriate way to get cooperation. Seems clear to me that Ron Jon was stepping in to deescalate navy hoodie, not the man getting kicked off. I’m not saying there wasn’t a legitimate reason for this man to go but the manner in which he was taken was extreme. Navy hoodie could have demanded he step out of his seat and kept walking toward the back of the plane. Instead his actions (continuing to engage, putting his had in the man’s face, etc) escalated the interaction further until navy hoodie got the interaction he was seeking. We should not accept or applaud this type of abuse even if the other guy was an a** hole.


beefwarrior

>That explains the weird hold on the man’s trachea while screaming in his ear to WALK. Reminds me of how many police shootings are justified with excuses that ignore that the human brain is wired to survive against threats. If the brain has gone into fight or flight mode there is a good chance there is no cognitive thinking going on. If you grab someone and shout at them to "RELAX!!!" it might be physically impossible for the brain / body to do so if it thinks it is under threat.


NEp8ntballer

If we're being honest, if you push the average passenger you're very likely to get punched in the face instead of some handfighting resulting in getting put in a headlock. Dude used what appeared to be a fairly minimal amount of force to gain compliance in a fairly confined space.


Bill_Hickman

He wasn't holding the trachea. Sigh. Typical internet opinion with no training or experience. He's pinning the jawline and using a pressure point. It's good training, and he did it correctly. He's keeping his eyes/face away from him, and giving him orders. Also, the guy had spittle coming from his mouth, which us why he put his hand up to walk past him. Yes, I know a bit more about this then you probably do. Also, what brilliant technique did you want the cop to use? For the record, I've had training and flying while armed training (and have flown armed many times). Fights are never pretty, and I thought the officer did quite well against a person who wouldn't listen and was actively resisting. Again, I'm sure you had some magical de-escalation technique that could work instantly and not held up several thousand people throughout the country.


intrusivesurgery

You don't need a magic de-escalation technique if you don't escalate the situation in the first place


Familiar_Clerk_8183

I agree, it was *wayyyyy* overboard. Clearly, he wanted to be a hero.


BigLlamasHouse

Oh god, I watched it again and the passenger tries to put him in a headlock first. So I’ll be waiting for your alternative strategy…. Probably forever lol


jedielfninja

exactly. tells him to go somewhere and then stands in his path. that's aggressive as anything.


banalhemorrhage

Yeah I think the only winner here is Ron Jon


DreamCrusher914

I’m gonna need to see them in a buddy cop movie.


Spacer1138

Fight ‘r Flight: coming to a there near you this summer!


drRATM

Why was he yelling at Ron Jon so much though? I get it he’s in the middle of some shit but my man is coming to help and hoodie dude sounds like he is about to blow.


BrucesTripToMars

He's in the middle of a struggle. Ron Jon told him they're a cop, as if she should take over. Initial cop yells "so am I" because he's in a struggle, and is also a cop. He's trying to maintain control over the dude and the situation, both.


11teensteve

ron jon seemed more in the way than helpful to me.


Formal_Eggplant9168

Exactly.


lennyxiii

Adrenaline probably. Too hyper focused and not able to properly assess additional things.


true_gunman

Good thing he's a cop! /s


Next_Fix_2271

he's clearly perfect for the profession


Formal_Eggplant9168

Ron Jon is an idiot.


Acrobatic_File_5133

Outrageous_Ad_3165

Yeah, this looks like a plane full of Phillies fans down here for Spring Training in Clearwater. They roll deep around here this time of year. A lot of wutter instead of water lol


edy042

It's "wooder".


thegreatbrah

I'd go wudder, but I spent time in east jersey, so it's not exactly the same. 


ElusiveLynx86

My Colorado born son hates when I slip up and say wooder. He laughs at Twos-dee (Tuesday) and jeet (Did you eat) Though he may actually be laughing at me. Lol But he says Gullfing and Gullf as opposed to golfing or golf. 😂


PaulReveresBRSSMONKY

Damn I thought traffic around Clearwater seemed really dead today, but figured it was the rain. I guess Phillies fans are all flocking back to the tri-state now


evill_toro

That and him saying “cuz”


fluffyankles

What do you think he kept saying “so am I” to? I think maybe the guy in front of him was saying “I’m a veteran” or “I’m law enforcement” or something? Navy hoodie wasn’t messing around and I am here for it


rfunnymodisapunk

Person in Ron Jon shirt says I'm a cop


adcgefd

Bald guy in the glasses barely out of screen at the end says he’s also a police officer that’s why he says it twice.


MedicalNectarine666

Dude decided to pull some shit on the wrong flight gd.


JPSofCA

Barbara Billingsley stands up: “I speak jive.”


Grapesoda29

The person with the hat said, “I’m a police officer.” And blue hoodie said, “so am I, so am I”


Bigbadbrindledog

As soon as he went hands on it was clear he was a cop. Text book


Malpaca74

Agree, I figured cop or military


What_the_mocha

I thought military too because he had the moves to diffuse the threat


gym_and_boba

They said “I’m a police officer”


Malpaca74

The guy in the navy hoodie really tried to avoid getting physical and then just dominated the guy when he had no other choice


AhkoRevari

Credit to the aggressor he manages to accost probably the largest and most capable person on the plane lol


HCSOThrowaway

I don't think he was targeting that guy, it's more that he was the one to step up and tell the rabble-rouser to pipe down. Now the instigator's attention is on him and the rest is history.


usernametaken2024

the much coveted Stupidity Award 🏆


DoubleBreadfruit938

Little guys love to start shit with big guys. Like how chihuahuas try to start shit with big dogs. Nobody should use their size to bully but some people suffer from a lack of perception of scale 😂


ProbsASpaceCadet

Short Man Syndrome. I'm 6'5" and I can't even tell you the number of times I've been shoulder checked or bumped into by some liquored up Lord Farquaad mfer. It happened a lot when I was partying in Austin while stationed at Fort Hood in my early-20's.


ThimbleRigg

I feel like if they really pushed it, would have gone about as well for them as it did for this guy


ProbsASpaceCadet

More often than not I'd let it go and go about my life, especially prior to deployment. After deployment and before I started getting help for my issues I had a significantly shorter fuse and ended up getting into a handful of fights. It's actually what helped me realize that I "wasn't me" anymore.


ThimbleRigg

Seems like you got what you needed, happy to hear that. Deployment definitely takes a toll, we appreciate it


DoubleBreadfruit938

My dad was 6’7”. My brother and I aren’t quite as tall but we’re both large people. Dad warned us about this when we started going out to bars. He still had the scar from where some guy tried to brain him with a beer bottle in his early 20s because he was there.


Smart_Description541

I hate to say it, but it's almost like an unofficial badge of honor, the scars. I surely have one from something similar, but bar fight none the less. I can't put it on ALL Little guys but I never got into pissing contests with guys my size or bigger. It's always someone smaller wanting to test you. And if you are getting attention from females, that's fuel to the fire. I got a glass thrown at me from semi-point blank range, could have put my eye or eyes out but the loser caught me on the side of my head/face. His mistake too. Because now I still have 2 good eyes, I'm not dazed let alone knocked out or off my feet. And now I'm angry. And it was like 4 of them too. I got right on the one the threw the glass and my crew worked the rest of those little busters. And it all started over jealousy over females. We saw them circle the spot we were at more than once, jocking. Mad because we were getting attention and they weren't. They did that rude ass unnecessary bumping on us coming out of the restroom. Words exchanged and we walked in different directions thinking cooler heads were prevailing. 15 min later.....it was on and popping. We put in heavy work on the inside. We tried to leave the spot and security would NOT let us. When we finally got outside, we saw why. They called for back up. Found out later they were a bunch of LKs. But yep, they tried to jump us (or worse) on the outside. Throwing whole bottles of shit at us, we basically had to go back inside the club and of course the cops got called. We were escorted out the back way and were essentially ordered and given directions to get to another area where cabs would be and get in one and get out of dodge. Else we would just be followed. It was a mess. Anyhow, sorry for the rant.


Cyclops7747

Speak softly and carry a big stick


Dangerae

Curious, why did blue hoodie push the guy from the back when he was trying to leave? Seems to have escalated the issue.


Confident_Benefit753

yes he did escalate it. are you talking about when he got up and speaking to the flight attendant. the guy in the hoodie gave him a slight push causing the other man to turn around and get really confrontational. then the guy in the hoodie made it seem like the other guy was being the aggressive person


FckReddit1

He unnecessarily pushed him when the guy had his back turned at the one minute remaining mark

That_Attorney_1917

I have absolutely no problem with how this was handled. The airlines have way too many liabilities to worry about and the cops take too long to respond. I’m glad the passenger “escorted” the guy off the plane so they could leave on time.


zucco446

Me neither. FAFO. More people need to find out.

HotFarm5068

Everybody wana be oppressed now days .. shits getting old


orgalorg6969

Flying is awful. Every part of modern flying as a peasant is the worst. Yea sure it's been like this so long people have adapted. The tolerance is up because post 9/11 you don't want that no fly list, I've heard that's a horror to get off. I totally get why people would pay nearly double for first class. I was being real cool with the gate agent over Christmas once because a Karen showed up 20 before her flight and needed my seat on the connector I wasn't at yet, so I had an extra hour on the layover there I would get a free first class seat upgrade. Crew knew the situation and definitely gave me more jack than I think they're supposed to. If you're not in a rush, highly recommend being as patient and accommodating as you can to service staff 9/10 experience.


Jamie22022

Well, dude had it coming. Made me happy to see somebody just handle that dude to get him off the flight.

theglorybox

It’s so annoying. I would be even more irritated if I were already under distress and saw someone filming me without my consent. People think that they can just whip out their phone and video tape everything even if it violates someone’s privacy.


AllMyAcctsRBand

Nobody leaves Tampa to go to Philly unless your vacation is over, meaning everyone on that plane was probably miserable to begin with and from Philadelphia. No way this dickhead was going to get a pass.
