I cancelled my TV service because i never watch it anymore, but as the following was reported on CBS and NBC sites, i imagine you saw this on yesternight's evening news. I think it is fucking brilliant! As a retail veteran, i know the pain of working around pain-in-the-ass customers! What i'm talking about is the Jet Blue flight attendant who lost it (after 20 years of airline service, mind you) with yet another recalcitrant passenger. Here is the short story: he asked her to mind the rules and remain seated until alerted that is okay to rise and get one's luggage from the overhead bins. This bitch ignored rules and got up (according to one version of the story, her insolence started at the beginning of the flight) to access the overhead bin. When flight attendant, Steven Slater, approached to ask her to follow the rules, he was accidentally hit by her luggage as it came out of the overhead bin and the passenger proceeded to cuss him out after he asked for an apology. Mr Slater (again after 20 years of this shit) lost it. He then thanked the passengers who were polite for their cooperation, then grabbed some beers, opened the side door made sure no one was below, then deployed the emergency inflatable slide and jumped out the plane. Let's go back a tick: HE GRABBED SOME BEERS BEFORE EXITING...umm, can you say my hero!
Read the story through the following articles. They offer different versions, but in the end, Steven Slater, is my hero!
Here is the CBS article.
Here is the NBC article.

If what your country is doing seems to you practically and morally wrong, dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
