A United Airlines flight attendant was arrested for tapping the shoulder of a very rude woman, exposing how absurd Florida’s battery law is and also how intolerable speakerphone culture is in shared spaces.
The confrontation began at an employee shuttle stop when a Cayman Airways agent was speaking loudly on her phone, using speakerphone. The United attendant objected and told her to stop. What followed was a verbal exchange that deteriorated quickly, including insults and accusations of racism.
The flight attendant said that when he told her she was being rude, she responded by calling him a “racist” and told him to “go f*ck yourself” while flipping him off. They both got on the employee bus.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
