Passenger gets angry over lack of chicken

[Bandit]

When I was flying a lot for business, I usually booked a low-fat meal. I usually got it first, it was always fresh, and always better than the regular choices.

On the odd time I didn't and found the regular meal unpalatable, I'd just politely decline and wait until I landed.

That twatwaffle should be subjected to nothing but the 7-pretzel Air Canada Cattle Car Class snack on his next long-haul flight.

Can't eat pasta, severe psychological aversion - long story.

Well, now I'm curious. Is this a sharable story, or a don't-wanna-talk-about-it thing?

Shareable, just not techincally interesting. Couple of incidents, spaced just far enough apart for maximum psychological impact.

Short forms are: First time I was disciplined at day care, and they went about that in a very wrong way, was because I didn't want to eat it. Halloween event at public library, doing spaghetti for brains, and then I got stomach flu right after someone finally managed to get me to eat more than 3 bites. To this day I can't have more than a couple forkfulls without straining to avoid puking.

Lol I do the same thing with pasta and macaroni. I never really understood why I do it though.

I read this and the first thing that popped in my head was they actually whipped you with a wet noodle

I joke that the last time i ate a mushroom, I started seeing things. In all honesty, I think they're so bland and tasteless that they ruin a meal.

I agree with raw456 though. He bitched because, in his opinion, it was the better of the two meals. Great pwnage with your meal AirHostess.

It always amazes me how passengers think ranting at ME will solve the problem. If they are nice to me I go out of my way to help them!

They think that yelling means you'll cave to them and be able to grant their wishes like some fucking customer service genie. Assholes. I wonder how the spouses of SC's put up with their shit on a daily basis.

Sadly, so many spineless managers cave in when people act like this, it doesnt give any encouragement to stop.

And I've always wondered that too. If I acted like that when I was with my ex-husband or ex-fiance, they both would have been appalled, and called me on it. I've never understood that.

I have a friend who can't drink hot chocolate for a similar reason...I couldn't live without pasta...or hot chocolate...

I hate mushrooms...my mom sometimes makes chicken or pork chops with cream of mushroom soup gravy; I can eat the sauce itself but the little bits of mushroom get pushed to the side of the plate. So depending on what kind of sauce was on this pasta, I'm not sure I would have eaten it, either. But I would have been nicer about it. The longest flight I've ever been on was about 3 hours, from NJ to Florida, but I made sure I had a snack in my bag, because I know I'm picky, and airplanes aren't exactly known for their gourmet coach-class food. Last time I flew we got a sandwich and small salad, and a cookie or something. I ate part of it, but it wasn't like I would starve to death if I didn't have something to eat for 3 hours. If I was going to be on a long flight where I would definitely need food, I would absolutely bring cereal bars and fruit, or some other food with me in case the in-flight meal wasn't something I liked. If that happened, I would politely decline and eat what I brought.

Is that what I'm stuck with on my trip home? hmm.. I should have picked WestJet both ways but stupid me cheaped out $10...

His wife just look embarrased and whispered "sorry" to me. Poor thing having to put up with that moron.

no! shame on her for not telling her ass of a husband off! She shouldve said, shut up ya idiot, leave the girl alone. Or i'll smash you with a coca cola bottle.

points for the reference

The guy was a total douchewaffle.

That said, why on earth would they have a mushroom-based sauce when there are so many people deathy alergic to the things?

^-.-^

Because the management are idiots? They never listen to what the frontline staff advise!

You're talking about the same people that decided that handing out bags of peanuts is a good idea, and how many people are allergic to those?


Wait, I know! The airlines are trying to kill you through anaphylactic shock!


Either that or they have stock in Epi Pens




EDIT: ... why does the board software flag the word anaphylactic as being misspelled when it's not?

The board doesn't have a spell checker. That would be you.

[Lingering Grin]

Oh... ok...

Well then Firefox's spell checker is wrong
