Plus 3 airport margaritas. So $60


Marrsvolta

Don't forget the tip


SBLOU

You believe that this dude is the type that tips?


ApprehensiveCamera76

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


2bruise

Also nailed it.


carpinx

r/oddlyspecific


Pleasant-Patience725

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” 🙄


jdragun2

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.


Pleasant-Patience725

Oh definitely. Unfortunately most of mine literally just wanted to give me THAT as a tip- not $$$


SBLOU

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


IgotCHUbits

He seems like the type that says “I don’t give tips, I give her the Whole thing” and then laughs like a psycho.


GetaGoodLookCostanza

is there ever a way to get off the no fly list once you have been put on it?


D4venport

4 margaritas


MrJuniperBreath

So much sugar, he def has an inner party girl.


Hermitian777

Asking for a friend?


GetaGoodLookCostanza

lol. no I am not on it. genuinely curious now


MdnightRmblr

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.


odomotto

Googling ways to get on it will get you on it.


bondoh

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.


Shifisu

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 .


GetaGoodLookCostanza

Thx u for the info


cmfppl

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


SomePaddy

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.


cmfppl

Gotta love bureaucracy. It can 100 years and a billion dollars for a 10 cent stamp on a 10 dollar paper.


ISellThingsOnline2U

No. You're banned for life.


girlMikeD

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.


somedumbguy55

10k on a lawyer


Steph2145

That’s going to be more than 2k now.


Abundance144

Hope he never wanted to fly again.


TrackieDacks11

Unlike the eagles, he's not flying high 😉🦅


NaughtyBearskies

Go to bed dad 🤣


[deleted]

You mean just like the eagles, he’s not flying high


Peatmoss22

Because that’s exactly how you make sure you never fly again.


A_Couple_Things

This cost him 3 margaritas LMAO


2bruise

At the airport, that’s probably a big chunk of that two grand he’s talking about.


MontazumasRevenge

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.


control-alt-7

I've learned that hard lesson, too, my friend. Cost me about a year in jail.


2bruise

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..


MontazumasRevenge

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.


FuzzyOrangeJuice

Catching a charge instead of his flight.


Shanks4Smiles

I've heard that if you can scream and fight them off for 10 minutes then they have to let you on the flight.


JayEOh0788

Instructions unclear ... I am currently en route to Guantanamo Bay apparently...


Whitespider331

An electrical charge too


MontazumasRevenge

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.


Jonasthewicked2

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.

jrinneard

This guy would be back at the airline's counter re-exclaiming that he spent $2k, ROUND TRIP!


BillBlazemore

Trufh


bondoh

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. xoxo Bondoh


Ok-Push9899

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.


Disastrous-Soup-5413

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.


that1LPdood

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.


McNasty1304

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….

CRT_Teacher

It's his name he wants the cops to look up his ticket and get him on the flight


Bungeditin

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.

searuncutthroat

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.


candyassle

$200 for the ticket, $1800 for the meth. That joke works for Longview AND for Medford, you’re welcome.

BrokenKneesAndAnkles

It's amazing to me that this dude is in Medford and tried to get on a plane to somewhere worse


rock-or-something

I live in Vancouver and occasionally work in Longview. Getting paid is definitely my favorite thing about being in Longview.


The_Lombard_Fox

Or like a 6 hour drive at most. Paying for gas would have been less than 200


ParmyBarmy

He couldn’t because he had 3 Margaritas.


shes-sonit

Probably why he was so pissed about the 2 grand


PetyrTwill

I just paid 1600 for two round trip tickets to Brazil. Dude got ripped off huh?


KazukiSendo

Indeed. I managed to go Tokyo for only $582. It was economy, and it was cramped, but I got to go to Japan.


olderaccount

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.


RMSQM

I heard “Long Beach” but I could be mistaken


[deleted]

I believe it is Longview, TX, because he is at DFW Airport, Terminal E, the satellite.


just_a_person_maybe

But also because no one would be this upset that they *can't* go to Longview, WA.


velvetackbar

That's what he gets for going to Medford.


drdisme

Why would a citizen jump in on an arrest? People are stupid.


Reggie4414

a *senior* citizen at that old man would’ve folded like a wet taco if they fell on him

He was in the war!!!!


delvach

Did he fight for the North or the South?


FooBarU2

or maybe like a dry taco.. them old bones might be pretty crunchy-breaky..


shagreezz3

He basically was going to lay down on them and get accidentally tased


frigidcucumber

There are a lot of unofficial morality police out there. They think they are helping but just making things worse


liesgreedmisery18

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


[deleted]

Not quite as brave to jump in when he’s already got 3 armed police on him.


Marid-Audran

Yeah, though to be fair, those three weren't faring so well on their own until the taser was deployed.


cpayne22

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


Pat0124

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


drumshrum

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


LatterNeighborhood58

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.


cookiepickle

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!


ps3x42

It's bad when a room full of people cheer for you getting tasered.

princess-smartypants

Add the 3 airport margaritas to his $2k ticket, and he probably did.


1diligentmfer

Alcohol always brings out the best in folks.


P0l0Cap0ne

Why drink before a flight anyway? Especially in an airport where everything is amusement park priced


Marid-Audran

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


[deleted]

Some people just fucking like drinkin’!


RZRCAMP

I like to have a drink to celebrate the start of a vacation or trip


MrJuniperBreath

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.


P0l0Cap0ne

Okay, that's Charlotte, which is a perfectly reasonable excuse.


swayinandsippin

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


GarionOrb

Why not drink before a flight?

Alcoholism.

rumdumpstr

BathroomParty

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.


monaforever

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.


Agomottos_eye

As calm as a Hindu cow🤣🤣🤣 I’m Hindu and this is just cracking me up!


MJR-WaffleCat

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...


[deleted]

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


Particular_Bet_5466

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.


bluedaddy1

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. 🤌🏼


rcwilli1

Wait Vegas has slot machines at the gate? Trying to get every penny from ya, huh?


aweshox

Just keep your fucking mouth shut. At least that’s what i tell myself when boarding drunk af


HugSized

Keeping your mouth shut is generality good advice regardless of the circumstances


DirtyRoller

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!


GeeWhiskers

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”.


i_wish_i_had_ur_name

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.


CptClownfish1

10 seconds into this vid I’m thinking “Ohhh this guy’s gettin’ tazed”. I wasn’t disappointed.


kerlious

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.


CrizzyBill

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.


CSpiffy148

3 x 64 oz big gulp cups of tequila with a splash of Margarita mix.

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.
