retail years ago and that was bad enough. But being stuck on a plane with stupid, entitled assholes would send me over the edge really quick. I'm always VERY appreciative of the flight staff whenever I fly because, man, I feel for the bullshit they have to deal with.

My only flight after the pandemic began was last summer (I couldn't really say no to this business trip because the pandemic killed my income). I purposely flew first class to limit the number of people in close proximity, and was very covered up. But wouldn't you know it, the woman sitting next to me thought she was clever, and would pull her mask down below her nose every time the FA would turn her back. The FA would tell her to put it back up, she would for five seconds, then pull it back down. I was losing my patience and about to go off on her when the guy across the aisle beat me to it. Thankfully, after a some junior high level retorts and eye rolls, she put it back up and kept it there for the rest of the flight. The amount of effort these people will expend to be "rebellious" is just so fucking ridiculous.

Lifetime bans on all air travel should be penalty. Stores should get permanent restraining orders. TheBlackAdder May 2021 #1
I'm sure some of these are drunk people; but I'm guessing most of these 1,300 are maskholes. LonePirate May 2021 #2
