In a place with zero creature comforts...
It's not just passengers in planes either. Drivers are so much worse than before. Everybody is just an asshole.
Reminds me of Dennis Leary's "Asshole"

YYYYEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH
All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight bound for Seattle to return to Tokyo
damn, an international flight. those poor passengers
At least they were just an hour into the flight. Would've sucked even more if they were already halfway.
aww thats cool. those flights suck.
If they were over the halfway mark, especially on an international flight over an ocean, would they keep going or still turn back?
They would probably just divert to HNL hahah
Great circle so more like Alaska
i'm not saying what the guy did was right, but flight attendant is pretty tasty if you can get it fresh
I chuckled
This is how it begins.
The guy was just hungry.
Yeah, this is so crazy it's laughable. And it should be used in TheOnion.
