Airplane Horror Stories?

[iris]

Once when I flew from NYC to London, I was seated next to a drunk, 40 year old man who literally kept pawing me. Think, in a drunken slur, "Whash your name? How oldsh are you? Are you married?" while constantly patting my arm. I was sixteen, people, and completely grossed out.

When he finally offered to trade 4 camels for me, that was the last straw. I got up to change seats and he literally smacked my butt. I turned around and punched him in the eye and startled the other passengers sitting near us into screams. Airline stewardesses came rushing over and I threw a fit until they seated my sister (14 at the time) and I in our own row. We had 5 seats to ourselves all the way to London.

In two weeks, I will be flying to Japan. :ph34r:

Last Christmas, I was flying home from SF and the flight attendants managed to skip my rown for food and beverage service. Now, I normally hate airplane food, but I was damn hungry that day.

So anyway, I pressed the call flight attendant button. The light turned on and stayed on for the next 2 hours. I was completely ignored and annoyed. I never even got their attention when they passed by.

Afterward I wrote a nasty letter to the airline, but nothing happened.

I guess that's not too bad a story.

The only horror stories is the one that I fantasize of. For example: We're gonna skid off the runway and crash and burn to death! Or: We didn't have enough power taking off and we're gonna crash into the icy waters, go into shock and die of hypothermia! And last but not least is the looking out and seeing a creature on the wing. :lol:

Wow that's a pretty awful story. I guess you completely smashed that "submissive asian female" stereotype :P

I've flown alot, but never had anything near that bad. I've had to sit next to really obese people who overflowed into my private space, and I've lost luggage once, but that's it.
