It's a me first World

I have been fortunate enough to travel across our great country and been exposed to people from all walks of life.

Last week I found myself in DFW on standy for an earlier flight. This flight had a young lady whom fate had put in a wheel chair. She could not walk to her seat and the airline had decided 7B would be the best seat for her as it had some additional legroom. They informed the guy in 7B, (a sack of skin with poofy thinning hair and "cool" eye glasses ) that they would put him in an aisle seat a few rows back.

This asshole proceeded to erupt.........I stood in shock. Let me get this straight, he was not willing to sacrifice 15 cm of leg room for someone who can't walk? Really? He was shouting that he was only moving in exchange for a first class seat and that he needed other compensation from the airline.

The gate agent then made an announcement asking for anyone in row 7 to give up their seat for this young lady. The asshole then starts shouting, asking why they are "victimizing" him. Really...victimizing? For asking other people to step up and do the right thing because he wouldn't??

At this point I informed the man that he should shut his mouth... I also informed him that he was getting what he wanted since someone else gladly gave up their seat. Fucking amazing...!

The flight wound up departing 45 minutes late since they couldn't board on time as a result of all this.

So here is my thing...how fucking selfish do you have to be to think your little bit of leg room is more important than providing access to someone who is handicapped? I am far from perfect, I haven't always held that door, meant it when I said thank you, or kept a rude comment to myself...but in general I think I am pretty decent. When everyone aboard a McDonnell Douglass Super80 thinks you are an asshole...chances are you are a fucking asshole.

****
Inconsiderates. Had I been a steward on that flight, I would have urninated in his spritzer & rubbed his pretzles on my ball sack. Guarrantee you this man will pass the Frisbee test.
Nice work
