Default Vegetarian Throws Food At FA

This spoiled brat committed assault and battery. If I were the FA, I would not have turned the other cheek.

From New York Post:

She should have ordered a Happy Meal.

A 30-year-old vegetarian was so disgusted by the food she was served on a Newark-bound Continental Airlines flight yesterday that she threw the loaded tray at a flight attendant, sources said.

Things came to a boil somewhere between the Dominican Republic and Newark Airport after the passenger complained that her special meal didn't meet her culinary expectations.

"She said she was a vegetarian and she didn't like what she was being served," said an airline official. "So she threw the food tray -- and the food -- at the attendant."


Sources said the meal was not vegetarian and the woman did not like the way it was served to her.

The crew called the Port Authority, whose officers met the plane when it landed at Newark at 3:58 p.m.

The flight attendant declined to press charges against the passenger, who was not identified, but cops still filed a report.

A Houston-based Continental spokesman confirmed the flight was met by PA cops, but he declined further comment.

Witnessed a snack pack thrown at a FA once. I bent over, picked it up, did my best Bluto shrug and began eating the contents with my First Officer.

You ever flown with a vegan? Can be kind of annoying if they're on a soap box. But buying chinese and eating mango chicken in front of them is kind of a sweet revenge, just like mango chicken. Although Panda Express is sooo much better if you can find one.

Double orange chicken!

Did you see that thing about the fitness guru who died at 96 years old back in January? Do you know what that shows you?

Work out and be healthy all you want, you're still going to die.
