Transportation, Airplanes and Health: The strangeness of strangers

The strangeness of strangers

By wellalrightythen - 09/02/2015 06:23 - United States - Hobart

Today, I boarded a plane. A woman decided that she didn't like where she'd put her carry on luggage and pulled it out from over my head. The heavy luggage then fell right onto my face, the wheel smacking me in the mouth and busting my lip open. She just laughed and waltzed away without a word. FML

Today, I was boarding a plane and an elderly woman asked if I could put her carry on into the overhead bin. Eager to help, I energetically lifted her bag up, and smacked her in the face with it. FML

Today, I was getting onto an airplane and happened to admire the stewardess. I was walking onto the plane and was just about to talk to her when my foot slipped into the crack between the boarding ramp and the plane. Not only did she laugh as I limped to my seat but now I have bruised nuts. FML

Today, I was sitting next to a lady on an airplane who was very overweight. She fell asleep on me, and violently bled from her nose upon take off and landing. FML

Today, I was boarding a plane and a woman's bag started to fall. In the spur of the moment I thrust my arm up to catch it. I didn't catch the bag, but I did catch her boob. I had to sit next to her for the rest of the flight. FML

Today, I was sitting in the airport, watching the baggage handlers load the plane I was about to get on. They were being really rough with it, one bag came open and all the clothes spilled out onto the tarmac. The clothes looked familiar. They were mine. FML

Stressed out

Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML

Today, I was on the bus during rush hour. A fly started buzzing around my head, and I swatted at it, at the exact moment the woman beside me decided to get out of her seat and put her face straight in the path of my hand. FML

Today, while I was on the bus, my foot fell asleep. When we arrived at my stop, I stood up and limped to the front of the bus. As I walked down the steps, I tripped, fell, and smashed my nose into the ground. The driver just laughed and drove away. FML

Today, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML

Today, on my airplane ride home, the woman next to me wasn't feeling too well. She pulled out the air sickness bag to throw up into and missed. Her vomit splattered all over the seat in front of her and all over me. We were both covered in puke. And that was only my first of two flights. FML

I feel for you OP. Half the struggle of flying is having to deal with the general public and shit like this happens. Hopefully your lip heals quickly. Although I'm not so sure I would've been able to hold myself together long enough to let her just waltz away after hurting my face...

I know it's the wrong response but I would have thrown the nearest thing at her. Peanuts, souvenir, or baby.

You can sue for pretty much anything. Whether you can win the case or not is really the question

No not really. But it seems it's the first thing people say. We are more into violence.

#7 op could sue for assult.... and yes our culture believes in suing people :(

Well really sue because that's what most people do like the subway woman who sued for her footling being like 11.5 inches

I'm pretty sure it's an injury and can be sued over.

Well, actually you can't really win a suit here for assault. Assault is when you are threatened and feel in danger of injury. The actual injury is called battery, and it has to be intentional. You could sue and win for negligence, probably.

And good luck finding a lawyer that will pursue the case in this instance. Most lawyers prefer to have at least a slight chance of winning.

Is it a long flight? If so, find where she sits & spill your in flight beverage *I recommend coca cola* on her face. When she falls asleep, or while she's awake don't let her get away with this.
