Leaving Cleveland Was Hell on Earth

Cleveland was great it getting home was a nightmare. We were getting on our Frontier flight, and most of the overhead bins were closed for some reason. I went to put my bag in an open bin, the stewardess barked at me that the bin was not for my row. I reached for another bin. Same result. Frustrated, I asked her where she wanted my bag and she directed me to a closed bin. I put y bag away, and as I was sitting down, I told her she was very rude, and asked her why she was so nasty and aggressive. She responded that I should be careful what I say, because she could have me removed from the flight. I told her it was ridiculous to threaten me when I had done nothing wrong, and I told he second flight attendant that the first had a serious attitude problem. I sat down, and started reading a book on my IPad.

When the plane was done boarding, a uniformed crew person came over to my seat, leaned over my wife in an intimidating and invasive manner. He tried to stop her from recording with her phone by trying to grab her phone.

He asked me if there were going to be any problems on the flight, and I said the only problem I was aware of was the on he was creating in that very moment he said I could be removed from the flight for refusing to follow the directives of the crew, and I pointed out that I had followed all instructions. When I asked him where I did not comply, he could not answer

He said I was raising my voice, and I pointed out that I was seated quietly when he approached me, and I was speaking in an even tone. I said that the person creating an issue was him and that I had done nothing wrong. He eventually backed off and we took off, but during the flight the stewardess who started the whole thing handed out “incident report” forms and promised free drinks to those who turned them in (my family did not get this offer)

That was followed by LA traffic, followed by two highway accidents. Fuck flying and drive everywhere.

So air stewards/stewardesses are the new police then? At least they aren’t armed.

Still. Glad you and the family made it out to the wedding and back safely.

Tell them you’re an air Marshall while pointing to your gun. That will shut them up.

Or make things worse when they realize you’re not an air Marshall.

Commercial air travel is the modern equivalent of hell on earth.
