Bizarre Airplane or Airport behaviour

I thought so too. Or maybe she is blind or something.

She should get a subscription to audible and a pair of earphones

There should be a no fly list across all airlines for anyone acting the maggot on a plane.

I flew to Turkey years about twenty years ago , during the flight a muppet decided to trim his hair with a lighter.
He was dragged of the plane by two ordinary sized policemen and a policeman who looked like a shaved gorilla.
I always think of that bloke and his lighter when I see the film Midnight Express.

In Dalaman airport last year, and there was a rather angry looking man sitting at the table across. Suddenly he falls off his wobbly chair and proceeds to get up and throw it, breaking it into a few parts and narrowly missing a young child. He then loudly screamed "FCUK" and proceeded to leave.

Nothing too crazy but was a strange occurrence to watch.

Yup,
Was only married a few weeks and was already thinking for f*ck sake.

Easy, "just popping off to the jacks".
Head back 20mins later looking like jack Nicholson.

Was on a flight from Tokyo to Heathrow a few years ago, and got talking to the passenger next to me. I wasn't in the mood for conversation anyway, but it turns out that they were in washine machine sales and wanted to know, in great detail, about European washing machines and how they compared to Japanese ones.

Years back I had been backpacking around South East Asia and ended up in Bangkok to get home. I was pretty broke when it came to buying a one way ticket back to Dublin. So to save about 60 quid I went with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the flag carrier of Bangladesh. The agent sold it to me as the cheapest flight to London and it came with an overnight stopover in Dhaka so I could see some sights.

Flew the Bangkok-Dhaka leg which left around 2 hours late but we arrived around 9pm local time. Got transferred to a shabby hotel with stained bedsheets and intermittent electricity. Got up at 9am the next morning to a breakfast of egg curry and rice. The Dhaka-London flight wasnt until 10pm so decided I would explore the town. But I then realised that security at the hotel prevented anyone from leaving as we were "in transit" and didnt have a proper tourist visa. We werent even allowed outside. So about 50 or so passengers were locked up in this hellhole of a hotel for around about 23 hours in total between the two flights. Being a Muslim country we couldnt even buy a beer in the hotel. Tempers got frayed but the security would not budge, we literally couldnt get outside of the hotel all day.

Then at 8pm that night we got ferried in clapped out mini-buses to the airport. Boarded the plane pretty quick but then the action kicked off. As it was September there were a good few single female going back to their university in London on board. The problem with that was people were complaining to the stewards that single Muslim women could not sit beside men. Cue lots of musical chairs and lots of arguing from families with kids who got split up over it. This charade had been going on for around about 20 minutes and the flight was now delayed for take off. The pilot ended up coming down into the cabin and he switched a few people around to try to balance things up but whatever way it was done it was impossible to keep single women from sitting next to a man without splitting up families and children. It was like some high level game of chess, for every person you moved it had implications somewhere else on the plane. There was lots of shouting and running battles going on between the pilot and several women with kids throughout this time. From what I gathered these women were adamant that a single girl should not be seated beside a man but also that no family should be split up. At about the 40 minute mark the pilot, looking ready to explode with anger roared loudly to the whole plane, stormed off and duly flew the plane off.

After all that I was left sitting beside a single student and asked her what it was that the pilot had said. She spoke very good english told me that roughly it was along the lines of "I dont fcuking care where you all sit, Im going now to fly the fcuking plane".
