An OMAAT reader shared an experience with me that he had on Qatar Airways, whereby the very loud guy seated across from him became verbally abusive, down to telling him to “shut [his] f**king mouth.” He asks for my take on this situation, so let’s get into it…
All okay right? Nope. As we pushback, these people are strolling around the aisles shouting again. I’m shattered. Then they sat down. Then they got back up as we started our taxi and I flagged down the FA. FA told them to sit down. Tw0 minutes later, he’s back up and hovering around my Qsuite and I politely said “the plane is moving, do you mind sitting down and getting out of my personal space.” Now here is where it gets good.
His response: “shut your f**king mouth, you’re not the commander. Shut up now.” At this point he was standing maybe one foot away from me screaming this in my face. He kept going on and on until the cabin crew told him to sit down.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
