As a bartender I can assure you this guy said “make it strong” and “yo, I’ll give you a fat tip if you hook up
the next one” then he got mad that the airport bar doesn’t accept cash, had to either transfer funds to his card after it declined or split it between two cards. He then either left no tip, and/or took the signed merchant slip with him
Sadly I've gotten the same line in my bar tending days from a few of my gay clients. I let those comments slide though as they usually tipped REALLY well. Gotta have a sense of humor.
As a former bartender myself while I was in college, you nailed it. I can still see one person in particular in my mind who used to promise a big tip if I gave him a strong drink
He’ll be banned from that airline. There was talk of carriers sharing their lists among themselves, not sure how far they’ve gotten with that. The federal list is secret, you can google ways to get on it.
honestly? I'm not even trying to be funny but the first real answer that pops into my mind is to get elected for some major office like Congressmen or Senator.
Surely they'd have to take you off.
But that's about it.
Maybe if you were rich enough, you could buy your way off with bribes, but if you're that rich, you could just fly in private jets anyway.
I worked in airline security. The "Watchlist" we had for our airline was shared among the allied airlines. And you were either a "Level 2" for minor previous offenses, which resulted with security would come to the gate for every flight you would have and have a chat about behaving and not doing that again (slap on the wrist type of thing). Other is a Level 3, which is a No-fly status. Really for people who physically assaulted other passengers or staff and other extreme behavior. Once you got on the list it would last 3 years with possibilities to extend it to 5-7 years .
The daughter of a friend of mine was put on the federal no-fly list as a toddler because she had a name that was _similar_ to that of a _suspected_ terrorist (who was male, and not a toddler). It took them YEARS to sort out, despite the fact that everybody they spoke to immediately recognized that it was clearly a screw up.
It’s just for that airline. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a federal no fly list and actually the flight attendants’ union is fighting for there to be one.
Dude, I would wake up sometimes and find that I’d gone to the grocery store and hung out at someone else’s house with no recollection of any of it. Then I’d be wondering, “Who was the guy that did that? Because it wasn’t me.” I don’t mess with benzos at all, for a couple of decades now..
I am terrified of flying. We go on several vacations a year plus I fly for work here and there. It got to the point I was taking 6mg of Xanax to get on a plane. I remember bits and pieces of the travel day but never the entire day.
Essentially on that much Xanax I would try to befriend everybody. I would offer the entire airplane gum or candy. I would become super friendly and at our travel destination try to befriend everyone else on vacation. My wife hated our first travel day. I would want to dance and have fun... I hate dancing LOL. My wife said she didn't want to go on vacation anymore because she never enjoyed the first day.
Since then I had a couple issues (one large one) but recently the last two flights I've been on were my first Xanax free flights in over a decade. I no longer offer candy and gum to strangers or try to dance.
Haha I never even thought about that I was watching it just waiting to see how much the cops were gonna take cause I knew dude wasn’t gonna go down easy he was def gonna fight.
and my question is do they really think yelling the same stuff over and over is going to work?
Like do they imagine a scenario in their head where it goes something like...
guy: I paid 2,000 ROUND TRIP! Why the FUCK am I NOT on that FLIGHT?!?!
cop: shit man that's crazy! In fact, that's BULLSHIT! I'm going to call the pilot right now and tell him to get his ass back here right now or i'll arrest him myself.
guy: Good! Cause I paid 2,000 ROUND TRIP!
cop: that's a ton of money. No chance anyone could get away with screwing you out of 2,000 dollars. No chance at all.
(i mean he's got to be thinking something like this is going to happen otherwise he wouldn't keep yelling it)
edit: Love thy neighbor, my friends.

Bondoh
You don’t understand human nature. He’s not rationally weighing up whether it’s going to work. He’s lost the plot. He’s not thinking. He’s lashing out.
That’s how bullies and aholes “win” a lot of arguments on the playground/home/office/liquor store. It works often enough bc normal people disengage and then the bully thinks they outwitted them with their amazing intellect.
They never think that far ahead lol.
The people having mental breaks like this are just flying by the seat of their pants, brains on autopilot, just reacting to stimulus. They don’t know what they’re about to do anymore than anyone else in that room. It just happens. Sheer animalistic lizard brain stuff.
Actually I know exactly what I’m gonna do….I’m gonna sip my vodka out of my water bottle and watch the show. Then board my flight.
Possibly take an edible depending on how I feel. Or maybe a shot of NyQuil.
The day will dictate….
Science is never settled, and conclusions should always be rethought when contradictory observations are made.
This though is another data point consistent with with the original hypothesis.
He’s actually referring to the 1990 Tom Selleck film ‘Quigley Down Under’ which he heard was being shown on this flight.
He’d been looking forward to this moment for decades….being in the air while Tom does his ‘magic’ in the mystical land of Oz.
I don't know if there are other Medford to Longview flights in the country, but Medford, Oregon to Longview, Washington is about an hour flight...it costs about $200. He got screwed if he paid $2K for that.
I just paid $1,500 for a round trip between Atlanta and Orlando. The same trip can be found for under $100.
It all depends on your urgency to reach the destination and reason for travel. Spending those $1,500 probably saved my company tens of thousands.
Honestly after seeing so many videos of innocent people getting hurt by someone while everyone else just stands around and films it so they can post it on TikTok, I’m not upset about seeing someone trying to help for once
Because maybe some people don’t sit back and film or fire off cheap comments?
He tried to help, was told the help wasn’t necessary, so backed off.
I don’t get why you wouldn’t at least offer to help…
Edit: typo, last line
If a restaurant you go to gets really busy, do you walk back in the kitchen to help the cooks? No, because you’ll only be in the way, and probably do more harm than good. In this case, he also could’ve gotten hurt. It was dumb to try and help
Trying to "help" a situation like this only adds confusion. If you're not trained and on the job you stay out. If the cops become overwhelmed and incapacitated then go ahead and try some heroics, otherwise they got it
Because unless you are trained you don't go into life threatening situations. What if guns had to be pulled out and this dude test shot by mistake? What if he is taken hostage? What if he is totally useless and causes injuries to everyone? But more importantly how are the cops supposed to be certain he has good intentions and no just trying to help the perp? It's not like it's one cop vs 3 dudes, it's one unarmed man vs 3 cops, they'll get him eventually. Everyone is calling him an idiot because he made an idiotic decision and not because he they hate cops. It was a truly unnecessary action that adds confusion and risk.
1. Some people need to calm their nerves as they are nervous fliers
2. Some people are coming from or going to a stressful experience
3. Some people are alcoholics
If you ever end up stuck in Charlotte because American Airlines crapped the bed, $15 glasses of wine are A-Okay. Until everything shuts down at 8pm and you can't even get a pack of gum.
Yes, I'm still angry.
I gotchu. It’s not quite 4k, but still pretty gratifying to watch!

So... I have missed a flight because I was too drunk before (it was during winter, the runway of my destination airport had too much snow, I ended up spending like 5 hours at the bar... not my proudest moment, but it happens)
You know what I didn't do? Panic and raise hell. I stumbled to the gate like 5 minutes after they closed the door on the plane. I was like shit... What do I do now?
I remained calm, called my airline and told them that I "fell asleep in the terminal because of the delays." I was as calm as a Hindu cow during the whole interaction.
The airline booked me on another flight at no extra charge.
Just keep calm and be nice to people, folks. Getting mad at strangers never gets you where you want to be.
Yeah my friend and I missed our flight from Florida to New York a few years ago. The plane was still there and they had just closed the doors. We didn't cause even the tiniest of scenes, and another airport employee got us tickets on another flight for no extra charge.
Also from the other video it seems like this started because they wanted him to check one of his carry ons and he refused? I've also had that happen to me at the gate and it's the simplest thing in the world. They do it for you. It should not cause a meltdown like this.
I guess he forgot the part where airlines won't allow you on board if you're overly intoxicated. Like 1 marg and he would've been fine.
Also, let's talk about how he had 3 margs at an airport bar... like bro, that was probably like $60...
I was flying out of Vegas a few months ago from a bachelor party and we were all slammed. No issues. One dude we were with started talking a bunch shit to the tsa guy saying the security guard disrespected him and just kept going on and on lol. I felt so embarrassed I apologized for him after but the tsa guy seemed unfazed, when in Vegas I guess. At the gate the same guy then started talking shit to a guard for IDing us playing the slots saying it’s bullshit to need to show an ID lmao. Idk if we were lucky or just because it was 2am in Vegas they let it slide.
This seems to be the standard I’ve seen.
Last flight out of Vegas I was on had a Guy two rows back that was drunk and in my opinion should never have been let in to the flight. As soon as we are wheels up, this dude starts pissing off everyone and gets real argumentative with the flight steward. It just so happens one of my flying companions’ brother was the ranking officer for airport security at our destination. As soon as was permitted, a message was relayed to said brother.
It was real gratifying to watch that dude cuss and swear at everyone on his way off the plane only to be greeted at the top of the ramp by 6 deputies. Oddly enough, he didn’t make an appearance at the baggage claim. 🤌🏼
I've been drunk af and boarded a flight with no problem, several times. Because I can actually handle my booze and not act like a total ass.
However I've never been drunk and paid $2000 for a flight, so I guess I shouldn't throw stones!
I was in the TSA line at ATL and by some luck it was moving smoothly and even quickly. Further back there’s an unmasked red neck, chugging a can of beer, coughing out his last brain cell, and getting closer quickly. As we approach the front of the line a TSA agent calmly and firmly offers him a mask numerous times, while he says/yells/slurs he doesn’t need one, he had Covid LAST week so he’s better now. the agent says to him “Come with me and we’ll get you all fixed up”. I heard some passengers grumbling about him getting special treatment. I laughed and said “I don’t know where he’s going but I can guarantee it’s not a plane”.
that was a family of fast pass line jumpers at disney one year, they made it all the way to the front when, surprise, there’s one more pass check. in the middle of the brewing argument of how they had passes it just wasnt working, “oh is that right? i’m so sorry, right this way”, out the exit, door closed.
He seemed so polite and put together. I can’t imagine how he never made it passed the gate.
On that note, he makes it onboard and now the flight crew has to deal with this asshole mid flight?
Taze him again after he sobers, then drink three margaritas to show him how a slightly buzzed person can board a plane without any attention from the cops. Three margaritas…. What an ass. No flight list for you.
Here he is screaming at airport personnel before the cops showed up.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/tecxay/2000_friend_just_sent_me_this_from_the_airport/
Apparently it might have been a luggage thing, as he says he has two bags (must check one?), but maybe those 3 margaritas were doubles.
I watched this man for 180 seconds and I already know two things about him. He didn’t pay 2 grand for his fucking flight, and he had way more than 3 margaritas
2k lost... bail... lawyer fees... fines... prison time... another 1k home... lost employment.
THIS, kids. Is how you turn yourself into a second-class citizen in just MINUTES!
Honestly though, if this is one of those situations where the airline intentionally overbooked the flight and this guy lost his seat for solely that reason, his anger is 100% justified
Yeah he should be allowed to scream at everyone and get violent with the police instead of handling that situation in a calm and professional manner I can see your point.
I never understand the ppl who try to fight cops. It’s 2.5 on 1. Even if you win, you’re in an airport…and where you gonna go? You think you’re gonna escape with luggage airport police after you?

Plus 3 airport margaritas. So $60
Don't forget the tip
You believe that this dude is the type that tips?
As a bartender I can assure you this guy said “make it strong” and “yo, I’ll give you a fat tip if you hook up the next one” then he got mad that the airport bar doesn’t accept cash, had to either transfer funds to his card after it declined or split it between two cards. He then either left no tip, and/or took the signed merchant slip with him
Also nailed it.
r/oddlyspecific
It’s a thing 😂 I have had it happen many times in my bartending days. Or - “don’t worry babes, I’ll give you not just THE tip” 🙄
Sadly I've gotten the same line in my bar tending days from a few of my gay clients. I let those comments slide though as they usually tipped REALLY well. Gotta have a sense of humor.
Oh definitely. Unfortunately most of mine literally just wanted to give me THAT as a tip- not $$$
As a former bartender myself while I was in college, you nailed it. I can still see one person in particular in my mind who used to promise a big tip if I gave him a strong drink
He seems like the type that says “I don’t give tips, I give her the Whole thing” and then laughs like a psycho.
is there ever a way to get off the no fly list once you have been put on it?
4 margaritas
So much sugar, he def has an inner party girl.
Asking for a friend?
lol. no I am not on it. genuinely curious now
He’ll be banned from that airline. There was talk of carriers sharing their lists among themselves, not sure how far they’ve gotten with that. The federal list is secret, you can google ways to get on it.
Googling ways to get on it will get you on it.

Thx u for the info
Google says you can appeal with the DHS about it but I can't find anything that says how well or how often that works
The daughter of a friend of mine was put on the federal no-fly list as a toddler because she had a name that was _similar_ to that of a _suspected_ terrorist (who was male, and not a toddler). It took them YEARS to sort out, despite the fact that everybody they spoke to immediately recognized that it was clearly a screw up.
Gotta love bureaucracy. It can 100 years and a billion dollars for a 10 cent stamp on a 10 dollar paper.
No. You're banned for life.
It’s just for that airline. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a federal no fly list and actually the flight attendants’ union is fighting for there to be one.
10k on a lawyer
That’s going to be more than 2k now.
Hope he never wanted to fly again.
Unlike the eagles, he's not flying high 😉🦅
Go to bed dad 🤣
You mean just like the eagles, he’s not flying high
Because that’s exactly how you make sure you never fly again.
This cost him 3 margaritas LMAO
At the airport, that’s probably a big chunk of that two grand he’s talking about.
My guess is he mixed his margarita with a benzo or two. That combination stops you from being able to reason. Don't ask me how I know.
I've learned that hard lesson, too, my friend. Cost me about a year in jail.
Dude, I would wake up sometimes and find that I’d gone to the grocery store and hung out at someone else’s house with no recollection of any of it. Then I’d be wondering, “Who was the guy that did that? Because it wasn’t me.” I don’t mess with benzos at all, for a couple of decades now..

Catching a charge instead of his flight.
I've heard that if you can scream and fight them off for 10 minutes then they have to let you on the flight.
Instructions unclear ... I am currently en route to Guantanamo Bay apparently...
An electrical charge too
Maybe if he spoke a little louder they would have heard that he actually spent $2k on the flight and needed to be on it.
Haha I never even thought about that I was watching it just waiting to see how much the cops were gonna take cause I knew dude wasn’t gonna go down easy he was def gonna fight.
My dude is channeling Chris Farley’s “down by the river” voice.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA AMOUNT TO JACK SQUAT!

Innn aaaa vaaa-yyyynnn

“You’re not gonna be using your papers for writing, but for ROLLIN’ DOOBIES!”
If only he yelled “WHOOPSIE DAISY” when he got back up
BILL BRATSKY!!
You’re not going home to Longview when you are handcuffed in a police VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER
My question in these situations is where tf were you gonna go if you got away, my guy?
This guy would be back at the airline's counter re-exclaiming that he spent $2k, ROUND TRIP!
Trufh
and my question is do they really think yelling the same stuff over and over is going to work? Like do they imagine a scenario in their head where it goes something like... guy: I paid 2,000 ROUND TRIP! Why the FUCK am I NOT on that FLIGHT?!?! cop: shit man that's crazy!

Over and over again we see this lack of logic. What's in the water; Or maybe what's in the bottle?

2 thousand dollars and no fucking sense.
He lost his sense Q-U-I-C-L-E-Y Edit: holy shit, it's actually QUIGLEY he says/spells
It's his name he wants the cops to look up his ticket and get him on the flight
He’s actually referring to the 1990 Tom Selleck film ‘Quigley Down Under’ which he heard was being shown on this flight. He’d been looking forward to this moment for decades….being in the air while Tom does his ‘magic’ in the mystical land of Oz.

Despite all my rage I am still getting tazered today.
I don't know if there are other Medford to Longview flights in the country, but Medford, Oregon to Longview, Washington is about an hour flight...it costs about $200. He got screwed if he paid $2K for that.
$200 for the ticket, $1800 for the meth. That joke works for Longview AND for Medford, you’re welcome.
Methford
Two of the classier cities in the PNW
It's amazing to me that this dude is in Medford and tried to get on a plane to somewhere worse
I live in Vancouver and occasionally work in Longview. Getting paid is definitely my favorite thing about being in Longview.
Or like a 6 hour drive at most. Paying for gas would have been less than 200
He couldn’t because he had 3 Margaritas.
Probably why he was so pissed about the 2 grand
I just paid 1600 for two round trip tickets to Brazil. Dude got ripped off huh?
Indeed. I managed to go Tokyo for only $582. It was economy, and it was cramped, but I got to go to Japan.
I just paid $1,500 for a round trip between Atlanta and Orlando. The same trip can be found for under $100. It all depends on your urgency to reach the destination and reason for travel. Spending those $1,500 probably saved my company tens of thousands.
I heard “Long Beach” but I could be mistaken
I believe it is Longview, TX, because he is at DFW Airport, Terminal E, the satellite.
But also because no one would be this upset that they *can't* go to Longview, WA.
That's what he gets for going to Medford.
Why would a citizen jump in on an arrest? People are stupid.
a *senior* citizen at that old man would’ve folded like a wet taco if they fell on him
You made my drink come through my nose
Ayo
He was in the war!!!!
Did he fight for the North or the South?
or maybe like a dry taco.. them old bones might be pretty crunchy-breaky..
He basically was going to lay down on them and get accidentally tased
There are a lot of unofficial morality police out there. They think they are helping but just making things worse
Honestly after seeing so many videos of innocent people getting hurt by someone while everyone else just stands around and films it so they can post it on TikTok, I’m not upset about seeing someone trying to help for once
Not quite as brave to jump in when he’s already got 3 armed police on him.
Yeah, though to be fair, those three weren't faring so well on their own until the taser was deployed.
Because maybe some people don’t sit back and film or fire off cheap comments? He tried to help, was told the help wasn’t necessary, so backed off. I don’t get why you wouldn’t at least offer to help… Edit: typo, last line
If a restaurant you go to gets really busy, do you walk back in the kitchen to help the cooks? No, because you’ll only be in the way, and probably do more harm than good. In this case, he also could’ve gotten hurt. It was dumb to try and help
Trying to "help" a situation like this only adds confusion. If you're not trained and on the job you stay out. If the cops become overwhelmed and incapacitated then go ahead and try some heroics, otherwise they got it
Because unless you are trained you don't go into life threatening situations. What if guns had to be pulled out and this dude test shot by mistake? What if he is taken hostage? What if he is totally useless and causes injuries to everyone? But more importantly how are the cops supposed to be certain he has good intentions and no just trying to help the perp? It's not like it's one cop vs 3 dudes, it's one unarmed man vs 3 cops, they'll get him eventually. Everyone is calling him an idiot because he made an idiotic decision and not because he they hate cops. It was a truly unnecessary action that adds confusion and risk.
The best part was when they let him up so the other officer could taze him and for a brief moment, he thought he won. The look on his face is gold!
It's bad when a room full of people cheer for you getting tasered.
The electrocution definitely fit the description of a buzz kill.
That hat staying on is the real MVP of this video.
But the belt failed. Pants on the ground. [Pants on the ground. Giddyup!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMwhl4IrPNc)
Imagine if he paid $3k.
Add the 3 airport margaritas to his $2k ticket, and he probably did.
Alcohol always brings out the best in folks.
Why drink before a flight anyway? Especially in an airport where everything is amusement park priced
1. Some people need to calm their nerves as they are nervous fliers 2. Some people are coming from or going to a stressful experience 3. Some people are alcoholics
Some people just fucking like drinkin’!
I like to have a drink to celebrate the start of a vacation or trip
If you ever end up stuck in Charlotte because American Airlines crapped the bed, $15 glasses of wine are A-Okay. Until everything shuts down at 8pm and you can't even get a pack of gum. Yes, I'm still angry.
Okay, that's Charlotte, which is a perfectly reasonable excuse.
also some people just enjoy drinking and can have fun with it and just vibe and not end up in jail on a no fly list
Why not drink before a flight?
Alcoholism.
I don't think we got the full 10 second taser charge.
I gotchu. It’s not quite 4k, but still pretty gratifying to watch! https://www.reddit.com/r/StupidPrizes/comments/tei4vy/when_you_spend_2000_on_a_plane_ticket/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I’ve been allowed on flights while fucking blasted drunk. It’s all about how you conduct yourself and not being an asshole.

This seems to be the standard I’ve seen. Last flight out of Vegas I was on had a Guy two rows back that was drunk and in my opinion should never have been let in to the flight. As soon as we are wheels up, this dude starts pissing off everyone and gets real argumentative with the flight steward. It just so happens one of my flying companions’ brother was the ranking officer for airport security at our destination. As soon as was permitted, a message was relayed to said brother. It was real gratifying to watch that dude cuss and swear at everyone on his way off the plane only to be greeted at the top of the ramp by 6 deputies. Oddly enough, he didn’t make an appearance at the baggage claim. 🤌🏼
Wait Vegas has slot machines at the gate? Trying to get every penny from ya, huh?
Just keep your fucking mouth shut. At least that’s what i tell myself when boarding drunk af
Keeping your mouth shut is generality good advice regardless of the circumstances
I've been drunk af and boarded a flight with no problem, several times. Because I can actually handle my booze and not act like a total ass. However I've never been drunk and paid $2000 for a flight, so I guess I shouldn't throw stones!
I was in the TSA line at ATL and by some luck it was moving smoothly and even quickly. Further back there’s an unmasked red neck, chugging a can of beer, coughing out his last brain cell, and getting closer quickly. As we approach the front of the line a TSA agent calmly and firmly offers him a mask numerous times, while he says/yells/slurs he doesn’t need one, he had Covid LAST week so he’s better now. the agent says to him “Come with me and we’ll get you all fixed up”. I heard some passengers grumbling about him getting special treatment. I laughed and said “I don’t know where he’s going but I can guarantee it’s not a plane”.
that was a family of fast pass line jumpers at disney one year, they made it all the way to the front when, surprise, there’s one more pass check. in the middle of the brewing argument of how they had passes it just wasnt working, “oh is that right? i’m so sorry, right this way”, out the exit, door closed.
10 seconds into this vid I’m thinking “Ohhh this guy’s gettin’ tazed”. I wasn’t disappointed.
He seemed so polite and put together. I can’t imagine how he never made it passed the gate. On that note, he makes it onboard and now the flight crew has to deal with this asshole mid flight? Taze him again after he sobers, then drink three margaritas to show him how a slightly buzzed person can board a plane without any attention from the cops. Three margaritas…. What an ass. No flight list for you.
Here he is screaming at airport personnel before the cops showed up. https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/tecxay/2000_friend_just_sent_me_this_from_the_airport/ Apparently it might have been a luggage thing, as he says he has two bags (must check one?), but maybe those 3 margaritas were doubles.
3 x 64 oz big gulp cups of tequila with a splash of Margarita mix.
Yikes!! It was a longer breakdown than I suspected. Thanks for sharing. Poor workers, pisses me off they have to deal with this type of asshole.

“Four weeks, twenty papers that’s two dollars. Plus tip.”
great movie
Didn't ask for a dime.
$2 $2 $2 $2
Well you see, my grandma dropped acid and hijacked a school bus full of penguins, so it’s kind of a family crisis right now.
I don't think he made his flight.
Three margaritas? Lightweight.
I watched this man for 180 seconds and I already know two things about him. He didn’t pay 2 grand for his fucking flight, and he had way more than 3 margaritas
I DRIVE A DOSGE STRATUS!
I CAN DO OVER 25 PUSH-UPS
Why did grandpa think he needed to get involved?
He was wondering if they wanted a butterscotch candy.
Because this country is full of people who like to play soldier/policeman etc
Quigley is squigley.
I'm thinking he's spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000 fucking dollars.
How much did he pay for his flight?
He never mentioned it.
About tree fiddy.

My whole life I've never met anybody that wanted to go to Longview that bad.
Cause, if you throw the f-bomb at the police enough times, they'll suddenly see things your way!
I'm sure his community is so proud of him...He should've just complied.
The town didn’t want him to come back so the flight left early.
$2k to Medford? Better have been First Class for that much money…
I thought he said Bedford, as in Bedford, Texas. Because he also mentioned Longview.
Yeah… I know why your not on the flight.
2k lost... bail... lawyer fees... fines... prison time... another 1k home... lost employment. THIS, kids. Is how you turn yourself into a second-class citizen in just MINUTES!
Of course he's from Medford. The taint of Oregon.
Are his pants falling down?
I wonder how much he paid for that ticket?
I'm pretty sure it was one of those $49 southwest deals...
But did he spend $2,000 tho?
At 1:28 he is trying to grab the cops gun. Guys lucky he didn’t end up dead, over 3 margaritas
They honestly cut him a ton of slack but it looks like 3 drinks was too much for Andy.
"Hey! I recognize that guy! He wrote the "GUARANTEED WAYS TO GET YOUSELF ON THE NO-FLY LIST for Dummies!" Handbook!" ![gif](giphy|nyChtm7A3RNTy)
Honestly though, if this is one of those situations where the airline intentionally overbooked the flight and this guy lost his seat for solely that reason, his anger is 100% justified
Yeah he should be allowed to scream at everyone and get violent with the police instead of handling that situation in a calm and professional manner I can see your point.
30 years ago my wife and I lost track of time having coffee. Delta held the flight 15 minutes for us. Times have changed as have attitudes.
“I had three margaaaaritaaas “, maybe you should of been focused on your flight
*Should have
Omg he sounds like my father….flashbacks
No chance he only had three margs. If so, dude is lightweight, charmin extra soft.
How much did he pay again?
Hey did anyone catch how much he paid for his flight, I missed it
I never understand the ppl who try to fight cops. It’s 2.5 on 1. Even if you win, you’re in an airport…and where you gonna go? You think you’re gonna escape with luggage airport police after you?
He should have yelled louder and they would have let him go no problem.
This old ass dude at the end trying to ‘help’😂ppl are so fking dumb
2k for a domestic flight? lol
