This extremely passive-aggressive airplane feud is one for the ages.

It took place on Thanksgiving Day between a middle-aged woman known as "Diane" and a righteously-indignant TV producer, Elan Gale, who live-tweeted the entire hilarious, maddening encounter as it happened.

1. They're both pretty annoying

And self-centered

[loli phabay]

2. for sure, but it goes to show that every action you do nowadays hits the interwebs,

Hopefully shes learned that lesson and him to.

3. Very true

after all, it's not about them . . . it's all about me.

4. She's lucky Élan didn't press charges.

My Dad worked for AA for over 40 years. I remember the good old days of air travel.
It used to be fun to fly.

Not any more. I need a Xanax and a few drinks.

5. If this is real, that dude definitely crossed the line - but I have trouble

believing a flight attendant would have even delivered that wine/note (assuming that's who he "sent" it by), let alone given him the vodka for that purpose...

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Can you tweet from an airplane in flight? Even if you can...

I don't believe this story. What flight crew would not only let this go on but encourage it?

True or not, he's an asshole either way.

7. she was a jerk, but Elan was the bigger jerk.

Assuming, of course, that this is true.

He could have just sent her a glass of wine with a nice note reminding her that everybody wanted to get home for thanksgiving, and maybe we all just needed to accept our fate.

Glad I wasn't on that plane

13. Agree. Neither was very classy. Funny, first class passengers, both of them, but no class.

And then the nerve to post about it, as if it's something to take pride in having done.

And indeed, how about just a nice note and the wine?

8. I think I'm probably going to kick a hornets nest when I say

antagonizing stupid, self-entitled assholes is a highly enjoyable activity. At least when you're stuck somewhere you can't do much else.

I wouldn't have done it the way he did, but I'd have probably done it. If people antagonized them on a regular basis, they'd either stop being stupid, self-entitled assholes, or they'd at least be quiet, stupid, self-entitled assholes, which is a huge improvement.

Had I done it, I definitely wouldn't have involved the attendant or done things that might annoy other people on the plane.

9. I like the way he handled it.

Although I probably wouldn't have told her to "eat my dick".

[warrior1]

10. I had read she's dying

and was trying to get home. The "why" she was wearing a face mask.

[magical thyme]

11. apparently she is dying of lung cancer.

This was to have been her last Thanksgiving with her family.

Hilarious, indeed.

14. Gosh, that was sad to read.

Thanks for posting that link.

12. i'm on Diane's side

assuming she exists and was not made up by this reality show producer.

[Texasgal]

15. I found it shitty

that he commented about sucking his dick.

There is a way to make a point without being a fucking asshole.
