On a recent 14-hour flight, I, Toby, 35, was eager to return to my wife and kid. I had splurged on a premium economy seat for extra comfort, but my peace was ruined when newlyweds Dave and Lia came along.
Dave asked me to switch seats with his wife, who was sitting in economy. “I declined politely, explaining I’d paid extra for comfort,” but Dave didn’t take it well, muttering, “You’ll regret this.” What followed was pure chaos.
Dave started coughing loudly, blasting a movie without headphones, and scattering crumbs everywhere. Then Lia joined him, sitting on his lap, turning the row into their personal honeymoon suite. It was clear that their behavior wasn’t going to stop, so I flagged down a flight attendant. She reminded them of the airline’s rules, pointing out safety regulations and common courtesy.
Finally, after much disruption, Dave and Lia were moved to the back of the plane. At last, I had the peace I paid for and could relax for the remainder of the flight. As we landed, I couldn’t resist getting in a last word: “Hope you guys learned something today. Enjoy your honeymoon!”
With their heads down, they didn’t respond, and I walked off the plane, satisfied that I’d stood my ground and taught them a lesson in airplane etiquette.
BREAKING NEWS! Horrific accident.
In Manitoba, Canada, on Thursday, a horrifying disaster claimed the lives of at least fifteen people. A bus full of senior passengers and a truck collided at a crossroads close to Carberry, 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg.
The busload of guests was headed to a Carberry casino. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s commander in Manitoba, Deputy Police Officer Rob Hill, verified that “at least 15 individuals were pronounced dead as a result of the collision.”
The hospital is also providing medical care to ten additional people. Although both drivers are alive, the cause of the collision has not been identified by the authorities. Photographs taken at the scene revealed damaged walking frames and wheelchair seats close to the tarpaulins that were covering the remains.
In expressing his sympathies, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his thoughts are with the injured and the families of those who have lost loved ones. Premier of Manitoba Heather Stefanson also offered her condolences.
One of the bloodiest incidents in Canadian history recently occurred. 2018 had a similar tragedy in Saskatchewan that claimed 16 lives. These tragedies highlight how crucial it is to drive carefully and responsibly in order to avoid accidents in the future.
