About that "I am entitled" blonde with long legs

[question everything]

I've recently read someplace that passengers are not allowed to take pictures on a passenger plane.

Time to implement it. I felt bad for these three innocent passengers who ended up in her twit.

Someone should have muscled her phone from her spindly hand and trashed it.

And then trashed her from the plane for disorderly conduct. Or something.

1. There is no law against taking pictures on a plane,

but most airlines have policies against photographing crew members or other passengers. So Delta would have been within its rights to have stopped her from doing it, assuming that policy is published somewhere (like in its contract of carriage). I wouldn't blame them from banning her, since she's been rage-tweeting about them and publishing her photos every since.

2. Yeah, anyone who rolls up on me trying to start shit and snaps my photo is going skydiving...

6. They could have just stuck her in the overhead compartment

Or underneath the seat.

7. Put her in the cargo compartment (n/t)

12. Fold her up like Flat Stanley---

And stow her in the broom closet. 😂😂😂 That ought to get her steamed. 😂😂😂 I predict another book---coming to a Dollar Tree near you. 😜

14. True story

Not long ago, I was in an extremely rural area where there were out-houses instead of bathrooms. The toilet paper was made of of many pieces of printed paper. Not surprisingly, the pages I used were from her book, "If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans."

Rarely have I enjoyed a bowel movement as I did that day.

(Please excuse my scatological humor!)

4. I wonder if the people could sue Ann.

"Coulter tweeted a photo of the passenger who was given her seat to her 1.6 million followers, complaining that she wasn’t “an air marshall or tall person,” nor was she “elderly, child, or sick.” Then she insulted the passenger, calling her a “dachshund-legged woman.”"

The woman wasn't worthy of the seat Ann had pre-booked.

5. I really dislike Coulter

8. I can't stand Coulter, but I am confused about the airline's policy.

If she paid for 2 seats she ought to get 2 seats. The same thing happened to a mother with a toddler last week. She paid an extra $1,000 for a seat for the kid, but the airline stuffed another passenger in the seat and the mother had to put her child on her lap for the whole flight. She probably got reimbursed, but that's not the point.

9. Fine, then take it with the airlines. But why punish the other passengers?

And it was not just that woman who got the seat; it was the whole row, including the other two next to her.

10. See didn't pay for two seats

Certain seats have more legroom than others. As you can see in the photo, these seats were the first row in coach.

She supposedly paid $30 to reserve a particular extra legroom seat. According to Delta, she got a different extra legroom seat, just not the one she had booked.
If you look at the photo, the phototaker appears to be in the same row as the folks she is taking a picture of.

13. I misunderstood the issue I guess.

11. According to Delta:

...

The airline claimed Coulter had originally booked seat 15F, a window seat in an exit row; seats in such rows generally come with additional legroom. Delta said that within 24 hours of the flight’s departure, Coulter had changed her seat to an aisle seat in the same row, 15D.

When the flight was boarding, Delta said that it “inadvertently moved” Coulter to 15A, another window seat on the same row, in order to “accommodate several passengers with seating requests.” The airline said a flight attendant had stepped in to deal with “confusion” arising from the seat reassignment and that “all customers complied and the flight departed without incident.”

Delta added that it first became aware of Coulter’s concerns when she began tweeting on Saturday. The airline said it reached out to Coulter to apologize, but only heard back from her on Sunday evening.
