A man onboard a flight from Iceland to New York snapped the above photo. Apparently, the flight crew had to restrain this passenger to his seat with duct tape and zip ties, after he got really drunk and started attacking female passengers and screaming that the plane was going to crash. At first, I thought it would be really awkward to have to sit next to this guy, but then I realized, it might be kind of fun. Here are ten ways you could make this guy’s flight worse.
- Keep changing the channel on the screen in front of him 20 minutes into every movie
- Ask repeatedly if he minds if you use the arm rest
- “Accidentally” rip one of the pages in the in-flight magazine. Ask if he’s got any tape.
- Point out every time the ‘fasten seatbelt’ sign comes on and tell him that he really should buckle his.
- Ring for the flight attendant. Inform her that they forgot to tape his shirt shut.
- Remind him how lucky he is to have a window seat
- Ask the flight crew for one of those junior pilot pins they hand out to kids. Pin it on his shirt. When people pass by say “hey, check it out, junior pilot.”
- Go on and on about how many places you’ve been and how much you know about airplanes (oh wait, that’s how to make ANYONE’S flight worse)
- Place a Cosmo in his lap. Make it look like he’s reading Cosmo.
- Point out how ironic it would be if it turned out he was right about the plane crashing thing, because now he would be the most screwed.
Or just let everyone in the plane take a picture with him with your coincidentally brought polaroid camera. Then, ask himsign it. Everytime.
And then include him in a list about ten reasons why you should ALWAYS bring your polaroid camera.
Hahaha. Do they still make those?
Unfortunately not, but you can buy used expensive ones. It would be worth it. 😉
Haha, I wonder how crazy he actually got to have to be DUCT taped to his seat xD
Another inappropriate thing to do would be to poke him on his stomach constantly — the bit that’s sticking out. But then after doing all those things suggested you may have to be duct taped too 😛
Good thinking, although the last time I flew they confiscated my stick
Too funny…
Thanks
How about putting a supply of his favourite drink in front of him?
I get the sense that they’re ALL his favorite drink
Number ten made me laugh out loud! Great post, poor guy…
Thanks. One man’s poor choices make for some fine entertainment
I love this! You forgot to mention the possiblity of tickling his tummy. LOL
I don’t know, it looks kind of sweaty
Nothing beats number 9. Except number 5.
except in math
You’re comment beats my comment. That’s math.
When I saw the image, I wondered about the jokester who duct taped his buddy for Instagram fame. But when I found out it was real… oh my! And the bulging out belly – kudos on the attention to detail!
Thanks, the belly out on a flight I think would annoy me the most
Haha! Love it!! Nice one !
Thanks
Wow, that is mental, can’t believe that happened! I love the way you turn it into something absolutely hilarious though, awesome post!
Thank you
No 7. just might get you into trouble too! lol. Poor guy…imagine what he’ll feel once he sobers up!
Good thinking. Don’t want to make my own flight worse. Better change it.
Oh ….. that is SO bad! But it’s hard to feel sorry for the zip-tied guy, isn’t it? My pet peeves are 1) LOUD, obnoxious gum-chewing and 2) LOUD, obnoxious, sniffling. You know, the “I obviously have a full load in my nose” type of sniffling. Either one of those would make his day worse. A shame this guy had to be a turd-ball and make life hard on the entire airplane population.
I know what you mean. That would suck if that guy had gum in his mouth when they taped it shut.
Oh my god! So funny!
Nothing beats a guy taped to his seat
Someone might try to, however.
