A New Jersey woman said an intoxicated man sexually harassed her while she sat next to her 12-year old daughter on a United flight, ABC 7 reports.

...

Rafieyan said she wrote a complaint to airline, noting “both flight attendants gave me warnings about him” prior to sitting him next to her. She also wrote: “He started to harass me immediately, constantly holding and kissing my hand, grabbing my knee, stroking my leg…etc., and wrote a note that he wanted me to have a passionate night.”

Rafieyan noted that she complained to a flight attendant who shrugged it off. “I’m sorry. We felt really bad putting him next to you but there was nothing we could do,” Rafieyan recalled her saying.

United responded with “a form letter saying my feedback would help them improve services.”

Nothing they could do?

Really?

They couldn't tell this guy to stop?

They couldn't even threaten to call the cops?

5. The female passenger just wasn't proactive

"Stewardess, the passenger sitting next to me says he's a Vietnamese doctor."

6. Had I been near that, I'd have offered my seat to that woman.

Since I always travel with my wife, I know she'd be willing to switch seats, as well. I'd sit next to Chester the Molester, of course. I might even have a few words to share with him in a quiet, sincere way, too.

7. I'm sure if she had made a loud scene they promply

would have hauled her off somewhere and left the evil bastard to the 12-year old!

Damn I hate that airline more and more every day!

10. I wouldn't doubt that one bit

8. I thought this was going to be about Donald Trump!

That is exactly the behavior one of his victims reported as having been perpetrated on a plane. Don't recall if it was United, though....

9. Yep...I was sure it was the Trumpster

11. They could've easily asked a guy sitting nearby to change seats.

12. We're a litigious society of babies, where even criminals have the right not to be offended.

Telling him to stop would hurt his feelings. Since words now can hurt, telling him to stop would open the airline up to a lawsuit and the employee to an immediate firing.

... Unless if someone more important wanted to take his seat. Then, the cops could run in and crack his skull open. It's very logical if you think about it.
