Yesterday I was finally headed home from a 2 week work trip. I boarded my flight and sat down, a lady had the middle seat next to me and I was on the aisle. She got in her seat and wiped everything down and buckled her belt. No sooner than she finished that, she turned to me and said I really needed to pull my mask up and fully cover my nose. Mind you, it was on the very tip of my nose and I was moving it up and down to drink water. I was also listening to a podcast so I couldn’t hear everything she was saying, but she just kept on yapping in my ear. I finally looked at her and said “lady, I really don’t care”.
She got pissed, folded her arms and slammed back in her seat still running her mouth. After a second I told her she should mind her own business.
At this point she calls for a flight attendant and is waving her arms in the air. People are still boarding, so the flight attendant can’t get to her. Her frustration grows the longer it takes. Flight attendant finally gets to her and she lady said she needed another seat because my nose wasn’t covered and I told her I didn’t care.
They moved her, those around us who saw it all laughed, and the middle seat was now open. So it was a win win.

These people are absolutely ridiculous. If you’re that scared of the virus, don’t get your arse on a plane full of people in close proximity. I wish I’d have thought of it in the moment, bu I had some snacks in my bag. I should have removed my mask to eat my snacks and there’s nothing they could have said about it.

Sorry you're poor and can't afford either first class or an airline that is leaving the middle seat empty.

Covid is just the latest opportunity for those who want to CONTROL others and/or those with very serious ANXIETY issues to declare themselves. That exchange was not about a mask, it was about her Dad never hugging her when she was a kid and the fact that her first husband fled after three years and her second husband only lasting 18 months. We are surrounded by people who are unraveling before our eyes.

Bitch, I didn’t even pay for the tickets and it was AA. Guess you missed that it was a work trip, so the company pays for the tickets. Southwest is the only one I’ve flown that’s leaving the middle seats open.

Also, this was in your crappy area too. I was flying out of Milwaukee.

I fly AA next week... they are not booking middle seats.


ETA: It appears as though they are now... lame. I booked a while back for four people and we have window, aisle, aisle, window.

Pick a better airline. AA sucks. So does United.

I had a 3 hour flight last week and ate snacks and drank water the whole time. Every time the flight attendant came by I’d just sip my water.

You can remove your mask to eat or drink on an airplane.

Entering a gas station Some broad customer asked me where my mask was. I just grabbed nuts and said “Right here”. She stormed off.

To be honest, this needs to start being the first place people go when confronted by folks like this woman. No reasoning with them, not counter arguments...just a hearty, "Mind your own fricking business."

Anything else is just wasting time.

I don't get it.

I wear a mask, but I don't harass those who don't. Likewise the people who harass those wearing masks are idiots.

If you want to wear a mask, wear one. If you don't, and nobody in the business says anything, that's their business. Why do we need to control what everybody is doing?

It took me a solid four hours to finish my water on my flight to Seattle last weekend.
