On behalf ALL of us, Airline Crew, especially Flight Attendant… Thank you❣️ -for telling your story -for standing up for us -for understanding and being compasionate (You won’t believe the abuse we take, everytime we are working 😞) We ❤you Gary Owen 🥰
You are absolutely correct. I'm the same way when disarming them because they already expect us to act like a hole. I've received really good service by being polite and understanding of their job duties.
Oh hell no- if you flicked me off as you deplane, I will make sure you misconnect. Thank you for saying all this bc people are just not good flyers or humans sometimes.
When they were serving him liquor, at first, I was annoyed that they served him. What was really annoying was they didn't serve him ENOUGH liquir to knock him completely out!😂😂😂
Yep I live in Birmingham and I can completely agree it’s so many male and female Karens roaming around this city. I remember me and my ex wife got into a road rage incident in Hoover when we first moved here and my ex was from Jacksonville Florida and I’m originally from New Orleans but in college at uab and the lady started swearing on Bear Bryant and my ex was like who is that. She told my ex not knowing who Bear Bryant was is the same as not knowing who Jesus Christ is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 from that point on I was just like yep 👍 yall got it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What is it about air travel that turns some people into the most entitled, self-absorbed a-holes known to man?! Story/essay time: I work in an ER and, on a flight a few years ago (just before the pandemic) they did one of those "is there a doctor on the plane?" announcements as we were going on a well-earned break. Hubby and I looked at each other with a "FFS, we're on holiday!" look (we're both ER docs) and did "rock, paper, scissors" to decide who was going to "volunteer". I lost... ☹️ So, up I go, and there's a woman who appears to be having a panic attack. Crew are concerned it's something more and want to know if they should divert. I give her a once over and ask a few questions. Found out that edibles make her paranoid, muscle relaxants made her dizzy and give her migraines, and alcohol makes her heart race. She knows all of these things, has apparently known them for years... So she ingested all of these things just before getting on the plane... 🤨🙄 This meant that she had knowingly caused her symptoms, and the main risk was OD, rather than anything serious. Found out how much she'd taken and realised she was fine, which made the whole thing seem really odd. Then I saw her face light up when the crew member mentioned the airport they wanted to divert to, and I realised that the symptoms were "worsening" whenever I was close by and easing off when I walked away. BS detector was detecting sh-t. So I spoke to the flight attendant in private and asked if the flight we were on was cheaper than a flight between our departure point and the place they were considering diverting to. She told me that no direct flights operated between those two airports... And I clocked what was happening. Cheeky mare was putting all of our trips at risk to create her own direct flight, by faking a "medical emergency". Relayed my suspicions to the crew and told the attendant to start saying that they wanted to divert to a totally different airport and got hubby to come over and watch from afar. As soon as I "went to talk to the pilot" she was completely fine, not struggling, demeanour change, symptoms disappeared, seemed really happy. As soon as the attendant told her it would be a different airport, the patient became rather combative. "Batsh1t" would be more accurate. Went from almost fainting & "I'm so ill" to threatening a full-on smackdown of everyone around her. Unsurprisingly, she was restrained. Air crew contacted the airport she wanted to go to, and this wasn't the first time she'd done this. Apparently, she'd done this with another airline and they suspected she was faking but couldn't prove it. This b1tch was prepared to ruin hundreds of people's trip/holiday/etc, so that she could get a direct flight to where she actually wanted to go. Instead, she flew to the actual destination and the police met her at the airport. Apparently, they discovered that all her reservations, etc, were for the airport they were going to divert to. Not a damn thing booked at the destination. Those diversions cost the airlines a fortune in landing/take off fees and delays. Gary is right - play fair with people and they'll play fair with you. I was very happy when I saw they'd upgraded hubby and I for our trip home as a thank you! 🤩😎
Haha, you let him live rent-free in your mind, which is why you ended up sitting right next to him! The universe knew you needed a challenge. 😂 I can only imagine how I would have handled that scenario. Sometimes when I’m at the airport, I notice the people I’m flying with. If I pay particular attention to someone, it just so happens that I end up sitting near them on the plane. It’s ironic.
Ha Gary reminds me when I was in Tampa waiting for my flight back to DC. There was a guy getting ready to board another flight on the phone talking loud enough everyone in that general area could hear his conversation. Basically he was talking to another guy at his destination telling him “I’m gonna kick your ass soon as we land in Phoenix. We are boarding now but soon as I get there I’m coming to your house and kick your ass tough guy. You are tough now but soon as I get there we’ll see who has the bigger balls.” I died 😂
Hey Gary im fairly certain that thee underlining causes behind all of the different delays your flight had to endure were 💯‰ direct repercussions of that dude being in, on, & at your flight! He is such a negative thinker that he becomes the dude that has the gray rain cloud all around him when outside of 😅😅😅his shadow its all blue sky and perfect weather!
Unfortunately, these jerks get a pass. They disrupts flights and are allowed to continue to do so just because they pay a few dollars. Corporate greed allows bad behavior as long as they spend , they don’t care that they inconvenience everyone else with their outbursts and rude behavior.
Lol damn Gary. He had you all in your feelings but you never said anything to dude. Lol…I would have just kept my earbuds in and minded my business. Let the flight attendants and pilots deal with TAH’s.
I needed to hear this for full context. Um Gary, you were sitting next to a “Kevin” and you were about to turn into a “Kevin” not a “Karen” unless you want to let us know something. No judgement on my part, I still think you’re cool. Just thought you needed help clarifying things a bit. Now go on with your Bengals loving self. 🧡🖤💜
That is true for Government officials but not for private business owners. You can flip off police because they are paid by our tax dollars and are suppose to be non-partial. You can’t flip off private workers as they are doing their jobs for a private business and not expect retribution.
Traveling can be very hard and frustrating. Never have flew out of Shreveport. You were up the road from Texarkana. I thought you did comedy for black audiences. What was that like eating Mexican food hanging around houstonians.
Can we chill on the Karen name it's some nice Mothers (mine included), Grandmothers, Co-Workers who are loved and cared about with that name. It's a lazy reference to categorize others nagging BS.. Secondly, that wouldn't make you a "Karen" you would've been right to stand up for the attendant if you wanted to but even the Sorry that happened to her was well mannered bro, Cooler heads always prevail! 🤝📈💯📜

The true character of a man comes out when hes in a situation he cant control
Great story Gary! Always an A-Hole on the flight! 😂
So true unfortunately
Some people are just hell-bent on being miserable.
So true
Wow. Classic story. True nightmare
I hate it when people have loud cell phone conversations in public.
Entitlement
And when they talk on speaker phone...😑😑😑
So true about the airport workers. Ticket counter, gate agent, flight crew, etc. Thank them and make them laugh and they will appreciate it.
On behalf ALL of us, Airline Crew, especially Flight Attendant… Thank you❣️

Be nice to people in service positions. They won’t work harder for you if you’re mean to them. 🤷🏾♂️🙄 They might spit in your food, too. 😂
Gary, He was the Karen!
I know what shade that dude was.... lol
Eggshell
Gary, you are one of my favorite people. Blessings to you and your family.
Oh hell no- if you flicked me off as you deplane, I will make sure you misconnect. Thank you for saying all this bc people are just not good flyers or humans sometimes.
Gary❤️, I LOVE YOU❤️! This Story was SOO RICH❤️!!!
I saw you on the phone at BHM that morning. Great energy in passing! Keep doing your thing.
Gary, what you said should be the name of a song… (They Need to Leave Your “A” in Birmingham 🤣😂🤣
When they were serving him liquor, at first, I was annoyed that they served him. What was really annoying was they didn't serve him ENOUGH liquir to knock him completely out!😂😂😂
What a story. Just - be - nice. 😊
Fix the plane??? I would have been like....nevermind, I'll take the BUS.....😳😵💫😵
Yep I live in Birmingham and I can completely agree it’s so many male and female Karens roaming around this city. I remember me and my ex wife got into a road rage incident in Hoover when we first moved here and my ex was from Jacksonville Florida and I’m originally from New Orleans but in college at uab and the lady started swearing on Bear Bryant and my ex was like who is that.

THERE'S ALWAYS ONE THAT THINKS "THEY" ARE THE CENTER OF THE WORLD!!!
I’m so glad I saw you live in Dayton back in the mid 90s. I’m in San Diego now. 😃🤙🏻

Golly... How many times do I got to tell you WELSHMAN(monsieur spade) she ain't no Holla back girl

He shouldn't have been boarded the 2nd time! God bles the flight attendants.
Love your tshirt Gary.
Sorry to say I am always giving TSA a hard time because I remember how it was before there was a TSA.
Plenty Much Love brother... I am a blogger and rapper... My wife and I love your content..
A strongly worded thank you email helps a lot too. I send those instead of complaint emails.
That's true from a military point
Unbelievable!
Saved your life
Funny story😂😂😂
So sad how ignorant some people are on public transportation! I’m a New Yorker…. Enough said! 😅😂
Unfortunately, these jerks get a pass. They disrupts flights and are allowed to continue to do so just because they pay a few dollars. Corporate greed allows bad behavior as long as they spend , they don’t care that they inconvenience everyone else with their outbursts and rude behavior.
I want that shirt yo!
Yup ban him from being able to fly altogether
Like the saying goes; You get more with Honey than you do with Vinegar. I just could never understand people who act like that.
He was the karen. You'd have been a heroic anti-karen.
SMH it’s an A-hole on every flight ✈️
Who thinks booze should be banned on flights??
Lol damn Gary. He had you all in your feelings but you never said anything to dude. Lol…I would have just kept my earbuds in and minded my business. Let the flight attendants and pilots deal with TAH’s.
One of the only benefits of being poor, I can’t afford to fly. I’ll never experience this.
sup Gary....

For some reason the world is full of self appointed special people. Only in there mind.
The flight attendant should have duct tape. His phone to the Wall. What a idiot. You always have good stories, G, Thanks for sharing. MUCH 🖤🤍🖤🤍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hold on, gary, he can flip them off if he wants.... this is America, freedom of speech. Freedom of expression... Is what it is.
That is true for Government officials but not for private business owners. You can flip off police because they are paid by our tax dollars and are suppose to be non-partial. You can’t flip off private workers as they are doing their jobs for a private business and not expect retribution.
It’s a private business. They can ban you if they want.
Did u catch his name or could you describe him? Curiosity ya know
Wow! Why some people want to show they a#$ once they get on a plane? 👀
Being a Karen is making a severe issue out if something small or easily addressed…he’s being belligerent and violent…thats not being a Karen
Common sense ain't common
😂👍👍💯
Traveling can be very hard and frustrating. Never have flew out of Shreveport. You were up the road from Texarkana. I thought you did comedy for black audiences. What was that like eating Mexican food hanging around houstonians.

11:32 Waist of time.
The unruly passenger was black, wasn’t he?

Shut up
A better name for these types of women would be ‘Ivanka’, instead of Karen 🤷♀️ I know lots of great women named Karen.
We would have to go back in time for that to happen ❤
The dumbest comment ever !!!!
Karens have had it rough with their name being used for negativity for the last decade 😂
I liked the story.. it was funny and insightful.
That's true from a military point
