When This Guy Decided To Get Revenge On A Rude Airline Passenger, He Didn’t Know It Would End Like This

ADVERTISEMENT

Travelling can be an exhausting and annoying experience on its own, but when snobby passengers are involved… The trip could be especially irritating.

Recently, comedian Steve Hofstetter encountered a rude lady at the LAX airport and decided to teach her a lesson. The lady not only let her dog poop in the middle of the airport, but she also didn’t pick it up, was offended by people who hinted she should pick it up, and listened to music without her headphones. Once Hofstetter saw that the woman was at his gate for the flight to Tokyo, he decided to teach her a lesson…

    Personally, I would have picked the dog c**p up, went up to her and said "Excuse me miss, you dropped something" handing her the pile of c**p. Then I would have "tripped" and smeared it down the front of her. Totally worth getting a little dog poo on my hand.

    That is cool idea. How about use tissue or plastic bag? You would get the revenge and keep your hands clean!

    I guess if she had said "thank you" and turned the music down at last, it would have been right to say that he was kidding, but if it happened the way depicted here, I have a hard time feeling sorry. The only thing is that this will probably NOT tell a reason. It is like you try to correct other drivers' behavior. It never works.

    "Did He Go Too Far? " I think it is wrong to punish the dog. The dog can't help it if its owner is inconsiderate. If there was some way to send the woman to the wrong gate while letting the dog go to Tokyo that would have been better.

    I don't like the Birte woman's comment. It isn't always the staff's job to do your dirty work!! Yes his karma may take a hit, but then again, all things considered, maybe karma was already getting back at him for not taking action in the past...by forcing him into that horrible woman's presence. Kudos to him!

    You shouldn't believe everything that people post online about their doings. This really just sounds like a fantasy of a person who likes to play out different scenarios in their mind (because of boredom or insecurity...or whatever). And yes, I use the word "their" instead of "his or her".

    Not a believable story. The air personnel has all the flight info on the ticket and would not let anybody on or off the plane, without a proper ticket.

    I don't think this is real. Since that woman already checked in to the flight to Tokyo, the airplane will not take off without her, especially if the woman's luggage is already on board. The result will be nothing but causing delay of the flight.

    I had it worse: a man did the same thing. I saw it, worried that someone would slip on the poop and fall. I went to an airline staff person and reported it, keeping an eye on the poop-pile worriedly. She said, "Oh, we don't DO that." Period ! I asked another. Same result. So I grabbed some ticket folders and picked it up myself. We nurses are a pragmatic bunch!

    we do not know what that woman is going through, she might have been into a heart breaking break up or just found out her husband has been cheating on her or whatever.. my point is everyone out there are strangers and not all people are very good in handling s**t they are going through, some just burst out their anger to anyone around them.. I just hope it's not a funeral she missed in tokyo..
