Entitled flight attendant eats tuna on airplane, complains about passenger discomfort: ‘They ate fast food at Gate 14 and have the audacity to judge your protein’
The travel and transport industries can be some of the most difficult in which to maintain a healthy diet, at least at work.

Entitled family of 8 loudly tries to cut lines at the Aruba airport by pretending they need special assistance instead of paying $100 per person for a concierge: ‘The island is beautiful. The only downside is the airport’
I’m a man of culture myself, but no matter how many sonnets or tragedies one hears, reads, or sees, nothing beats the airport as a theater for human awfulness, where the combination of mild inconvenience and proximity to vacation money transforms otherwise functional adults into petulant toddlers with credit cards. The Aruba airport, with its …

Woman covers airplane seat with ‘seat bag,’ completely blocks neighbor’s tray table: ‘I’d have that bag torn a minute after takeoff’
On a plane, there are few creature comforts. It’s kind of the bare minimum if you’re in coach. They give you a seat (kind of) and they give you a ride to your destination. On some airlines, they give you a free soda. On others, they give you a free meal. And if you’re super …

Plane passenger refuses to give up their assigned seat after entitled mother tries to sneakily steal their window seat: ‘»I’m not responsible for your poor planning»’
Airplanes feel fake. You’re telling me I’m in a metal tube in the sky, 30,000 feet above land, and I’m supposed to be okay with that? Yeah, so what if cars and trains are more dangerous? At least they’re not, again, 30,000 feet in the sky. Maybe I’m just afraid of heights, but you’ll always …

Like they always say, babies don’t come with an instruction manual.

Airplane passenger refuses to swap seats on 70 minute flight so dad and 7-year-old son can sit together, cites booking ahead:’I think he was trying to shame me’
Air travel is perhaps one of the least dignified forms of transport (unless you’re really rich, anyway). From the way that the TSA agents scowl at you to the awkward shuffle you have to do past a stranger if you’re in the window seat and you want to go to the bathroom, there really is …
