They gave him the option of getting off the flight. Toooo funny. I would have had to smirk to the person next to me if I overheard the stewardess telling him that. lol

MayB,
When people act like that, they are most likely never satisfied with anything.

I hope that in a quiet moment,

he'll think about this behaviour and make a change instead of making more lives miserable.

chances are, in his "real" life,
he gets no respect, so he acts like a self-important jerk to people who have no power to respond in any meaningful way. Someone is probably looking over his shoulder, crawling up his a**, reading him the riot act and making him feel insignificant most of the time...  Or else he lives alone in a cold water flat, eats his meals in a cheap diner with a paperback novel for company, and lies to everyone about where he goes and what he does on the weekend -- all the beautiful women who are clamoring for his attention, etc.... or not.

Self control and good manner
What a pity they're so often distant cousins or people have to find a dictionary in order to look them up?

Remarkable post on a quality that is fast disappearing or that has already disappeared from what you witnessed firts hand, that of self control. Well done.

his employers or whoever he had that meeting with probably did see that side of him--which was why he was on that cheap flight!  Reni has a good point:  what side DO his family members see?  I shudder to think what side his wife sees...

Whenever I see people like that, I always wonder what their

family members think of them.
