ENTITLED COUPLE ON PLANE DEMANDS I COVER MY FACE BECAUSE MY SCARS “SCARE” THEM—FLIGHT ATTENDANT & CAPTAIN PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE.
I recently sustained serious facial injuries, leaving me with visible scars still healing. Flying home for a family event, I wasn’t thrilled about the stares or pity. I had the window seat and put on my headphones and drifted off to sleep since other pssengers were still boarding.
I woke up mid-flight to an argument brewing next to me. A couple had taken the seats beside me, and the entitled man (EM) was loudly voicing his disgust:
EM: Can’t you see you’re scaring my girlfriend? Cover your face or move to the back!
His girlfriend pulled her sweater over her nose, sneering: How did they even let her board?
Fighting tears, I stayed silent as the man called a flight attendant.
EM: Move her. She’s upsetting us.
The flight attendant’s face hardened, and without a word, she headed to the cockpit. Moments later, the pilot’s voice crackled over the intercom.⬇️
