(2,104 posts)and their lack of respect or acknowledgement of my humanity over some inconveinence or stupid material possession that I almost never had any control/power to fix or had involvement in 'screwing' them over.
That power is of course reserved for others often management and in this case the Pilot has that 'power' to remove such a horrible person.
There's no reason if you have that power to make those 'under' you suffer because you don't have to deal with it personally. The other passengers as well as the crew had to put up with that horrible person. As a passenger I wouldn't want such a piece of garbage spewing their hate on the plane and be forced to deal with it. I certainly wouldn't want to put up with it if I was the crew either.
He did pay for a service and paying for that service does not entitle anyone to be a jerk unless you specifically solicit that service. All he had to do was keep his hateful thoughts to himself and he could've made use of his purchase. He could've just taken a flight where the pilot was a man to satisfy his prejudice or maybe learn to keep his stupid mouth shut. You can be sure he's at least learned he can't act like a hateful sexist without someone doing something about it.
Yes many people suck but that doesn't mean we all need to be horrible to each other or put up with that horrible behavior. If fewer people put up with adults acting like little children throwing tantrums and cursing out the people who have to serve them fewer would do it as they'd see it wouldn't get them what they want. Having more of the verbally abusive horrors of human beings inconvenienced, kicked out, denied service or even arrested, where appropriate, for acting out to demean other people is a good thing.
