Steven Slater (artist's rendering)
Apparently, passengers on the JetBlue flight from Pittsburgh to New York had to do without their thimble of Diet Coke and their package of stale pretzels, as one of their flight attendants, Steven Slater, decided to quit being their fucking maid in mid-taxi. To prove he was serious, Slater grabbed one of the $4 Buds from the beer cart (without swiping his credit card, we presume) and exited down the emergency chute with a big F-U!
Without their highly-trained safety advisor, passengers were understandably frightened, as they wouldn’t be able to find the closest exit or figure out how to make the oxygen mask work. They were also nervous that there would be nobody to save them from that one guy who doesn’t realize that leaving his tray table down during landing could kill them all.
Sucks to be in harm’s way because of one disgruntled employee.
Slater was later arrested by authorities. He was charged with reckless endangerment. He was also given his Man Card back.
Someone once said, “Life sucks, then you die.”
If you thought it was bad being stuck on a flight next to “Big-Fat-I-Want-To-Use-You-As-A-Pillow” Guy or “Great! I-Have-Four- Hours-to-Tell-You-About-My-Grandkids” Lady or “Never-Been-on-a-Plane-So-I’ll-Puke-in-This-Bag” Dude, quit complaining.
Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone at McDonald’s one minute, and the next you’re spitting venom at the geriatric who only put two swirls on the cone, when dammit, there are supposed to be three?
