- r/Entitledparents In today's episode, an entitled family learns the hard way that "the customer is always right" doesn't really apply to the world of commercial air travel. This entitled family lets their spoiled children constantly run up and down the aisles, which leads to a confrontation between the parents and the plane staff. Things eventually get so heated that the the pilot has to make an emergency landing so they can kick off the entitled family. See ya, Karens! Welcome to the no-fly list!

Dadâs about to join the âMy daughter never speaks to me and I have no idea why!â club. Good work dad.
Aka the "missing missing reasons" or "estranged parents" club
Just a friendly little reminder: threatening a member of the flight crew is a Federal felony...far-reaching consequences for momentary stupidity...
i love how he says he will also sue the guy then threatens him with death
@@aleshiawisch4097 Right! Pick a stupid threat, and stick with it; don't get wishy-washy when you're doing a dumb.
After all the captains first priority is to protect the cockpit at all cost in order to do that they have similar powers to police and they can even arrest or restrain an unruly passenger until The pilot can get the plane down safely and federal law-enforcement ( in my case the Australian Federal police) can step in
@@sytherwusky Isn't it legal for some planes to do manuvers to try and take possible threats off their feet?
@@TylerFurrison all I know is the maximum penalty is 10 years behind bars for anyone who assaults threatens or intimidate a crewmember
Story 4: Not only is this father an abusive control-freak, but I can tell that he would verbally abuse retail-workers without hesitation.
Anyone that abuses and insults retail workers are losers. They are extra losers if they abuse their children.
he will be surprised, when she goes no contact one day
I work retail. The last thing I am is a lowlife addict. Guy is real piece of work (had a different choice of words but YT can't tell where said words are being directed at). Not all of us are inclined to go to college or had any interest in skilled work. I had no desire to go to college and not a single trade jumped out at me as something I could make a career out of. So retail it is.
@@25Erix also that guy would probably be the first to complain if his favorite restaurant/shop or whatever had no staff to help him, bummer. retail jobs are necessary and the people who do them are just people like everyone else
He's a classist, sexist narcissist, and he needs to be taken down a peg. When the daughter goes no-contact & the wife takes everything in the divorce, maybe he'll learn a lesson.
Oh, HELL yeah. You know he's a full on Karen every time he goes to ANY store or restaurant. Definitely the 'do you know who I am?' type who will tell workers they are 'losers' who should get their lives together. Well dad, not everyone has a dad who'll pay for 8 years of college and all of their bills. And obviously not every service worker is a HS dropout. What a jackass.
Last story: the mom is NOT level headed. She goes the complete other way. She is complicite to abuse. That bullshit about his mom being in the hospital is no excuse. The dad blows chunks. I get that she is most likely a victim too, but it baffles me when people stand by and make excuses for the abusers of their children. The roommate is a very supportive individual, good on them.
Thank you! I hope the mom can safely leave that pathetic excuse for a human and come to realize that both she and her daughter deserve so much better.
Stockholm Syndrome is unfortunately a very powerful thing.
AGREED. That amount of control is definitely a form of abuse and the mother should be ashamed for just letting it happen. Thank goodness that poor girl has OP to depend on.
Exactly what I came here to write. She's not "level-headed", she's an enabler.
@@KISSArmygroupie The mom no doubt believes 'he's a good provider' so it's okay if he's abusive. He just 'cares so much', right? Mom needs a good therapist and a divorce lawyer.
That last story is more than just an entitled parent. That "father" is straight up abusive.
The fact he 'owns' her bank account and want her to get a specific job tells me the thing isn't about where OP's roommate works, but that he wants her to work a place where he can controls her, and also her money (kind of a way to keep her dependant of him);
Instead all he got is her opening her own bank account (one he doesn't have access), and probably will get her to cut him off her life when she graduates and gets a job that'll allow her to pay for her rent by herself.
Unless he somehow mends his ways, he's going straight to the old folks' home later in life.
Yes, that level of control is oppression. I want to see the follow up story where OP goes full no contact as soon as she graduates. We all know it's coming.
She can pay her own bills
@@hardup9809 Doesn't sound like she's opposed to working and paying her own bills. Sounds like dad is making assistance with school contingent on allowing him to control every aspect of her life. Should also add that LOTS of law students work over ther summer. And whether or not you think she should have refused his help all around, she didn't do that. It doesn't change the fact that the dad's behavior is completely NUTS.
I really hate when parents refuse to control their kids and excuse it by stating the adult to kid ratio.
1. Donât have more kids than you feel you can handle alone(because you will at least sometimes be expected to handle them alone).
2. Donât bring your kids somewhere that requires calm(ex. airplanes or theaters) if you canât/wonât control them.
3. Daycare teachers can be qualified to care for up to 12 2-4 years of age kids without assistance so a 1:12 adult to kid ratio.
These idiots have no excuse.
oly shit poor teacher
Preach it. This should be emergency news broadcasted worldwide
You do get surprise multiples every now and again, especially when twins run in the mother's side of the family. I won't blame the parents for that one. If they have too many due to thinking having ten kids is a great idea, they're idiots. Or they could be too stupid to have dad get a vasectomy. Both of those, yeah, it's on the parents.
Hold it! The Karens wants to speak to your manager! Don't you know who they are?
My mother had 10 children so she spent lots of time wrangling young children with just one other adult and not even that if dad was at work, right? I still remember my mother giving us the speech before going places. We all knew she would murder us if was acted crazy in public. đ€Łđ€Ł This was back in the day when a parent could spank unruly kids in public and no one would bat an eyelash.
About the first story: even if LAX was where Entitled Father lived, he'd still have to get a car ride anyway, since LAX was the final destination of the plane, but he got kicked out in Albuquerque. Whoops
Now heâs gonna have to figure out transportation to LAX and his family is probably going on the no-fly list. Hope the death threat was worth it.
thats gonna be a horrible drive lol
He's guaranteed to be on the no-fly list for life. Possibly his whole family, too.
Not sure if it's the same in the US but if it was I Europe he'd also get fined for the fuel, wages and fines the airline would have suffered
@@epsilon-eleven oh most definitely
"how, honestly, in post-9/11 are you gonna tell a crewmember that you're gonna murder them"
I mean, even pre-9/11 that would have gotten you on a no-fly list.
True! But yeah, not a good thing to say regardless.
It just is way more severe after 9/11
That father is guaranteeing heâll never know his daughter and sealing his fate on losing her once sheâs independent. Hope he enjoys hearing about his daughters wedding rather then walking her down the aisle, and that heâll probably only see any future grandkids through Facebook pics via relatives. đ
And she'll probably try to call her to yell at her when those two things happen. Keyword: try. As soon as she sees it's him, she won't answer the phone, and if he calls her from an unknown number, as soon as she hears his screaming voice, she'll hang up and block the number.
If I were her, I'd start putting the amount of money daddy dearest is spending on her each month into her own bank account that he has no access to so that when he cuts her off, she'll be fine.
I feel people watch too many shows, that's why people said so casually: "I'm going to kill you" thinking that sounds so badass but in real life it has to be most stupid thing you can said, specially inside of a plane.
Unfortunately, a lot of American gun-fetishists watch too many action movies & think they're real life.
@@epsilon-eleven Well they can all gather in the stinking jail together and reminisce about their fetish then. Many of them don't deserve to see the sunlight.
I absolutely hate controlling parents all they want is to be 100% in charge cause they believe the world revolves around them when in fact is doesn't
Those types of parents deserve to suffer
They're narcissists.
My grandparents were like that to my mom uncles and aunt one of my uncle's took his life before i was even born and yes i am the first grandson but they still don't know why he did it but when my mom told me how abusive there were towards me and my little brother when we were i think 2 and 4 i thought is the abusivenss and being helicopter parents what led to his death.
@@seanmurphy3357 Karma gets them one way or another because in the end, whatever kids they have that managed to remain sane end up leaving them because of their controlling ways.
My grandparents are controlling and sadly I have to live with them. They think they have a right to knowing what goes on in my head, what's on my computer, and what's on my phone. It feels very invasive and I plan on going low or no contact with them once I'm able to buy at least an apartment. Sometimes I feel guilty but I can't stand living with them.
You know, the whole controlling parent thing is true, but the opposite can be just as damaging. When I was in high school, my parents were getting a divorce. So, both parents took it different. My dad drowned himself in work, turning into a workaholic, neglecting everything else in his life. My mom decided to finally explore herself and find out all her passions she didn't have while married. That left me neglected 85 percent of the time when I lived with my mom, and 90 percent when I eventually lived with my dad. So, I acted out, of course. Not blaming them for my own stupid actions, just explaining the situation. My older sister saw the issues, and attempted to be the parent for me, which was needed, but I resisted as a rebellious teen would, not wanting my sister to be my parent.
Well, she did break my trust of breaking into my phone, laptop, and accounts online eventually to be sure I was being safe, but that only made me more paranoid to leave stuff around her, let alone at home or anywhere. I also can't blame her for this situation since she was trying to step into the role of parent as a young 20 year old to a teenager. She didn't realize her errors, but it took literal years for me to get over my trust issues set from that, but I did thankfully passed high school, which I was on the road to not do, and went to get a job and to to college thanks to her push.
So, despite these sort of situations, people can drown or thrive given enough. Not saying all of their actions were good, they weren't. I wasn't any better with my own either. We all needed to heal and grow. Mend things, which has happened mostly. Still an ongoing thing, but there is progress. Its been over 10 years.
You need to have the right balance. There definitely needs to be limits, but too strict limits will break somebody and they won't know how to deal with the real world.
Start out super strict while they are young, as they grow older and more mature start loosening the reigns, when they step out of line, tighten the leash again, and then loosen it again.
By the time they're adults take them off the leash
*First OP:* " ... Imagine being on a road trip with obnoxious kids from the west coast to the east coast!" A seven-hour road trip without kids is bad enough. I'd run out of the car screaming if I had to take a cross-country road trip with obnoxious kids.
*Second OP:* OP is right; that story _is_ hilarious! So is the divorce court story.
*Third OP:* I feel bad for OP's roommate. :/ I hope she goes NC with her dad as soon as she graduates, if not sooner, even if it means losing contact with her mom.
And 7 hours is more like LA to San Francisco, that's not even leaving California. I do not envy that guy.
The last story is awful. Her father is so controlling, it's no wonder she feels the need to hide things from him. She needs to set some serious boundaries with him asap, the moment she can. Cause this man is stomping all over them, and it's not going to just stop. He will be mad, sure. But she's an adult who needs to live her own life, and all he's doing is bringing her down.
Yeah, shes got a job, she should really be working on going no contact with this guy.
She can pay her own bills
@@Nekulturny I was going to say that. She needs to go no contact by any means necessary.
Having boundaries and enforcing them are two different things. It's hard when abusive parents have any leverage over you (from intangible love and advice to tangible food or money) to force cooperation.
Sometimes they're in love with having power over someone. Sometimes they rely on their kids to be surrogate spouses, adult friends, or therapists. Sometimes they vicariously live through their kids.
Hereâs a custody story for you. Back when I was married, my exwifeâs father sued us for âgrandparents rightsâ. The basis for his argument? I have a âfuck offâ tattoo on my arm. Why did we stop letting him see the kids? Heâs mentally ill. When he was on his meds, he was okay. When he would stop taking his meds, he would get drunk and high in front of our kids and instantly blamed his brother.
On one occasion, my exwife and I went to go see âLord Of The Rings: Return Of The Kingâ in the theater and he had offered to watch the kids. My daughter pooped herself (she was 18 months old at the time) and he called me at the theater demanding that I come over to change my daughter. I said, âYou offered to watch the kids. She is your responsibility right now. Change herâ. He didnât. When we came back from the movie, she had HORRIBLE diaper rash to the point that she was screaming and shaking from the pain of wiping her with diaper wipes when I cleaned her. After I got done, I yelled at him for not changing her. He tried to say thatâs not what he agreed to. I said, âYES IT IS! THE SECOND WE DROPPED THEM OFF AFTER YOU OFFERED TO WATCH THEM, THATâS EXACTLY WHAT YOU AGREED TO!â I told my exwife that I donât want him watching the kids again. He apologized to her, not me, and she kept telling me that he should be allowed. I relented, like an idiot.
On another occasion, I had stepped outside for a cigarette. My exwife showed up with my daughter (who was just old enough to start eating baby food) after being fed, so her face was messy. Her father showed up, grabbed my daughter and said in his baby speaking voice, âMommy and daddy are slobs, arenât they?â, all because we hadnât cleaned her face yet. I yelled at him for just being an asshole.
There are quite a few stories of this type of behavior. There were so many of these stories that by the time my daughter was 3 or 4 years old, we cut off all communication with her father.
On another occasion, he was watching the news and a story came on about parents rubbing their kids noses into their dirty diapers like they were dogs. We had been watching the same news story. 30 seconds after the story finished, he was convinced that we were doing that to our kids as well. My first words to him after he had uttered those idiotic words, âWHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?â
He never liked me because I had ALWAYS stood up to him when his behavior got really bad.
When we got divorced, my ex wifeâs behavior became just as erratic.
wow, you are color blind.
Iâm glad you save yourself
I propose a new flight attendant creed
âSilence is golden and duct tape is silverâ
From news reports, this has happened! sm
I've seen those videos. They're great honestly
Yeah, I remember a news story some time ago where passengers duct taped some drunk idiot to his seat because he was making a nuisance of himself.
Brilliant.
I dont understand why people are mean to flight attendants they work really hard to make sure everything is good for everyone. I know im at least on my best behavior if im on a plane not just for flight attendants but for everyone.
To any flight attendants or Pilots on here keep up the good work and dont let wild karens and entilted people bring ya down!
Yup! Even if the flight attendants are annoying themselves (for example, once they rammed a drinks cart into my elbow from behind instead of just announcing they were there or asking me to pull it in - which I could have done without), the very worst thing I will do is glare at them. They are not wait staff (although those deserve to be treated with respect too), they are there to make sure everyone's safe. Let's not mess with that.
It is really satisfying to hear that this type of bad behavior gets consequences. So tired of hearing people getting away with behavior like this, particularly with their kids watching.
So⊠fun fact about personality disorders. Most personality disorders are âEgosyntonicâ, meaning that the person with the disorder is incapable of seeing anything wrong with their behaviors. While other conditions like depression or anxiety are âEgodystonicâ, meaning that people with those conditions can recognize that something is wrong with their behavior, people with narcissistic personality disorder do not have that capability. They may recognize that outcomes are not coming out as they would want but reaching the point where they might be willing to try behaviors that seem totally arbitrary and bothersome rather than continue behaviors they can literally see no problems with often takes years of therapy, if they can be talked into receiving therapy at all for what they see as a ânon-issueâ.
Don't be an ass on a plane everybody! This is what the consequence looks like!
How about 'don't be an ass' period
Especially in the US.
@@limiv5272 Yeah that works too
I will always maintain that EVERYONE should work retail/service industry at least once in their lives, for at least 2 months or a summer breaks worth.
Otherwise we end up with absolute AHs like that last dad, who think that not only are they just better than those workers, but that those workers are practically sub human.
Two to three months is too light. Bump it up to one to two years. But generally, yeah, I agree with you and think that this should just become an actual law. If you donât work at least a year or two of retail/customer service, then you will be legally disqualified from getting any other employment.
@@eeveefan132 I couldn't handle even half a year, though QwQ
@@FerreTrip Do you want to have a job, though?
@@eeveefan132 oof, I think for a law then 1-2 years is too long if someoneâs able to do something different. I would like to try it for a few months though for the money at some point but sadly canât even try rn.
@@terra_the_nightingale135 Then thatâs your problem.
Airlines have also been suing people for the costs associated with redirecting flights. So on top of the fines, they will likely have ten to hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees and judgement against them.
Amen! Love to hear that!
_That_ seems a bit extreme if the air rager in question is financially supporting a family. You'd be punishing a generation of kids for the dumb decisions their parents made.
I have 4 children close in age. Since they were young, we traveled back & forth by plane between Utah to my home state of New Jersey once or twice a year. I always prepared my kids for the long flight & always packed things to keep them entertained. When they needed to get up & walk around I'd take 2 at a time & play "eye spy"... making it the first two vs the 2nd two. Or bring drawing paper & such so they could make pictures for the crew & passengers and such. As a parent with kids in public, you just have to be prepared and creative. It saves everyone's sanity & above all makes the trips fun.
Exactly. Like you didn't bring anything they could have to keep themselves entertained?
@Mitchell Leonard For real! As a parent...once your child turns 1...you realize busy kids are happy, content kids!? It's for my own benefit more than everyone else's đ
@@LynnCooks not a parent but often babysat my younger siblings, and yeah give them something they can throw or just beat up kind of and chew on they'll be happy
This reminded me what happened to me 5 years.
My best friend and I were going the zoo due to a a deal if you take cota tsr free, you get a free admission to the zoo. We took the bus and the bus was packed. On our way to the zoo, we got rear ended. The bus stopped. This is where we have the entitled dad comes in. He was upset and left the bus. Now, I didn't know what happened. But, he look the next bus. Later, the bus was pulled off to the side and the dad got arrested. We later found out that the person who rear ended us was a 16 year old boy who just got his license. The entitled dad assaulted the kid and stole his keys and wallet. It was on the abc 6 website a day later talking about the incident.
Last story: Well the good thing about being a Pre-Law Student is that she'll likely use that knowledge against her father at some point. There will come a breaking point.
Can you spell 'restraining order'?
Hahaha

@@condorboss3339 LOL
@@condorboss3339 The problem is that those can backfire as they can tell the abuser where you live and work. ("Oh, I have to stay away from the apartment building at 123 Whatnot St. and the offices of J.C. Dithers Construction Co?")
The answer your looking for to your question about how entitled people go their entire lives without ever realizing their the problem/the ones in the wrong, is called *narcissism.*
"What do you mean, wrong? I only have to care about myself! Everyone else doesn't matter, because I am better than them!"
It's weird. Let's all be glad we aren't like that.
In the words of actress Shannen Doherty: "The only person who NEEDS to be happy is ME."
I'm born in Canada but have lived in Sweden since I was 6, so I have been on a plane many times. I have also traveled to Italy, England, France and Norway. I am really shocked but also thankful I have never had an entitled parent sighting.
Give it time.
My mother is getting very close to 60, I'm almost 30. She treats me and my older brother like we are still teenagers. I honestly think it's a symptoms of some kind of personality disorder like narcissim or ASPD. But I did some personal assistant work for my aunt who does real-estate and my mom was PISSED and accused my aunt of stealing me from her like I was her actual property. She could not stand the idea that I'd be spending time with another relative for one day.
I was staying with her after I lost my job, but I had to go after that.
Between the parents I've seen with entitled parents and people LOVING the ability to have guns, I wouldn't be surprised if the plane guy says he's being patriotic.
And I feel both of my grandmother's would be able to relate to the grandparents rights stories. My paternal gm would probably sue to see me and my one cousin and were 26 and 31 respectively, and my maternal gm would probably sue for rights of my mom and uncle, both at least in their late 40s.
God that last story has me boiled! I am 28 and my mother is almost exactly like this. She wants to know where I am all the times, know who I'm interacting with and all their information, why I left the house (doctors appointmen) and I need to send her a picture as proof but she NEEDS to go with me next time, I need to call her at certain times to "make sure I'm still alive and not kidnapped", I can't hang out with people but "I don't understand why you never have any friends. You should have a boyfriend already."
It's a wonder how I snuck a boyfriend in my life and got a kid.Thank God she doesn't control my bank account but I know that if I don't put my foot down she'll most likely try to.
And, yeah, what RSlash said is true. Controlling parents don't make perfect kids. They just make kids good at sneaking. And kids who prefer isolation.
Is your mother also being abused by someone? Was she raised in an abusive setting? That is some creepy and definitely not normal behavior.
@@stephanien6237 She was raised by my "strict" grandmother. Born and raised in Mexico and were well below the poverty line.
I understand some if not MOST of her concerns stem from all of this, but it's so fu*ing extreme. She wants me to study and be successful but how tf can I do that if 1.) I can't socialize outside of my family members without supervision, and 2.) The only thing I can do is supervised online study and work at the same job my father does to make sure I'm not misbehaving?
Jesus!
Or at the very least, kids who cut ties from their parents.
Excuse me but why are you letting her walk all over you in this manner. You're old enough to speak up already
I have flown from Texas to Germany, and Arkansas to Turkey with two children two years and 10 months. They were entertained by items I brought to keep them entertained for the 8+ hour flights plus layovers.
The worse thing that happened was my 10 month old had a massive diaper blowout ( poop up out of the back of the diaper) trying to change that nasty diaper in the tiny airplane toilet was a feat.
At least you were smart enough to bring things for the kids to be entertained with. Makes you wonder why those moron parents with 4 spermspawns never thought of that.
@@danielbrant6740, they are too self absorbed.
It only take a little extra planning.
You pack a small backpack for each child with crayons, travel sized board games, and snacks. This is their carry on.
Back in 2015, my family and I were flying to Toronto on a flight and this guy was drunk and started throwing a temper tantrum. I was also wearing headphones but I took them out when I heard the flight attendant yell for him to put his seat belt on and an RCMP officer started screaming at him and started restraining him. We had to divert to Thunder Bay to get them off the plane and the RCMP officer's vacation was ruined as a result, but I managed to thank him for his service before then. That event also got on the news.
There really are two general types of entitled parents:
The ones who donât control their kids, and oneâs who are too controlling.
(P.s: I say generally because I know there are some E.P in the gray area or can change. But most fall into these categories)
I have 4 kids. I never took them on a plane, but if I had, they WOULD NOT have been allowed to behave like that. I call BS on "I have 4 of them, what do you want me to do?" PARENT YOUR CHILDREN.
The so-called level-head mother in the last story with the abusive father gets no pass. She is an enabler and therefor complicit in the abuse.
Enablers compound the problem through gaslighting and making the target of the abuse question their own reality. The enablers' excuses also make it that much more difficult to find help + entrench stigmas against those who are targets of abuse and those who suffer mental illnesses and injuries as a result of the abuse.
We, as a society, need to stop giving a pass to the enablers. The enablers are part of the problem and deserve no excuses.
My mother comes to mind here. Even though my father's still got a very short fuse regarding anything that deviates from how he wants it done, no matter how slightly, my mother keeps siding with him, claiming it's only because of this condition where his right half got disabled, even if that didn't actually change a thing.
@@Max1996YT I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that. I'm happy, however, that you realize your parents were in the wrong (too many of us who were targets of abuse take on the blame for it too - I know I did before therapy).
My situation is reversed: abusive mother and enabling father.
Too many people (including a horrific therapist I once had) make excuses for my enabling father as if he were innocent. NO. We (my siblings and I) were children who had virtually no other choice. He was an adult with options. He chose to throw his children under the bus to, make his life more comfortable with his spouse (my, ahem, mother).
For me, because enablers make the excuses they also get none at all.
Lol, that last father sounds like he's ticking every single box of the kind of parent that their child wants nothing to do with anymore. Way to go, daddy-o!
Regarding RSlashâs reaction to Story 3: my father and his current wife are exactly like that. Their egos are so big they think the whole world is crazy and only they and a portion of their small circle of friends (three people out of maybe seven) are sane.
" _The whole world's crazy but me and thee. And I'm beginning to have doubts about thee_ "
Laughed my ass off when OP said they had to deplane in Albuquerque. Perfect place for those nutjobs.
a better place would have been Portland
I feel bad for those people
@@RAC00NFANGIRL no need to feel bad, they brought it upon themselves, unless you mean everyone else except the entitled people, if so, i'll head out
@@lotusleaf1365 Pretty sure they were referring to the non-entitled people on the plane.
@@eeveefan132 i think so as well, i just wanted to make sure first, ya know? And darkshadow101, if you were talking about the non-entitled people, i'm sorry
First plane story made me think of how many times Bugs Bunny thought he should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque...
And ended up somewhere he shouldn't have. Like the bull arena
Regarding the first story, there's an incident that happened on 4-29-21 where a woman repeatedly hit a couple of flight attendants. She's facing up to 20 years in prison. She didn't threaten to kill anyone, so I know he'll most likely get at least 10 years and a huge fine for that one.
The Last Story with the helicopter dad pissed me off so much I had to pause and vent to myself about it. Like that dad is so controlling. I feel so sorry for that girl that she has to deal with a parent like that because nobody should have to deal with a parent like that. It's her life and he should not be dictating what she can and can't do especially if she's a grown woman. And he's doing all this because his mother's sick? I understand that people get stressed out and sometimes they lash out but that does not excuse his bad behavior towards his daughter. If my dad acted like that towards me, I would have put him in his place because there's no way my parents would treating me that way, I would not stand for it. The story pisses me off so much and I feel so sorry for that girl. That dad is going to end up in a nursing home.
First story: I'm surprised the plane was only two hours late. With all that going on, I figured it would be five hours or more.
Idk if those "unruly passengers" realize just how bad they are gonna get screwed. The fines alone can be tens of thousands. Ef around & find out, I guess, but a plane is an incredibly stupid place to do that.
Dang. My parents were overprotective growing up but that last story . . . wow. Just wow.
Rslash is my fav CZcamsr for Reddit vids. I love listening to these while doing work. Thanks for another great vid!
Finally some one I can agree with
On of my favorite episodes of Steven Universe was Nightmare Hospital. It basically taught the exact lesson you said. Parents tend to be strict to protect their kids, but a true loving parent would also be scared if they found out their kids aren't telling them things and have to hide.
In the second story, I hope that lawyer tells his partners about that visit. âyou guys are not gonna believe what this old woman wanted to hire me for.â đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Last story was best. This lady needs away from her father just to be able to have a life at all. And yes, the advice given by rslash is true. When you become a super crazy strict parent, your kids sneak around, hide things, and lie. But if you become your kids best friend, you become their "go to" person.
Fun fact: it takes a week to drive from Carolina to California.
I really hope that that girl from the last story can go NC with her dad soon, and I hope she can be safe after that, because abusers can go ballistic in moments...
As someone who used to work for Delta Airlines... It's NOT surprising what so ever đ€ŠđŒââïž
They were also the same people who called ME (in reservations) for a refund after "tHe wAy THeY tREatED mE & mY FAMILY!" đ€Ł
Oh my God, my father to this day complains that my mother is âkeeping his children from seeing himâ. I am the youngest. I am a 30 year old woman!! Some people are just delusional.
Itâs so hard for him to believe that we have our own lives, our own families, live all over the country, and donât want to visit him because heâs a narcissistic sociopath. Yeesh.
I knew the second the guy made a death threat that the plane was being diverted. That's not something airlines take lightly. Now, thanks to him, his whole family almost certainly on a no-fly list. It's been happening all the time now that if someone makes a threat on themselves or someone else, they land the plane and arrest them. The FAA is done taking passengers shit.
Damn that story about the overcontrolling dad paying for rent lol. My dad has access to my bank account and pays my rent, I'm catching a train 2hours to go visit my dad not because he forced my but because we are both responsible adults who hang put like responsible people because we both want to. I'm so grateful my parents are reasonable people damn.
I work at an airport as a cleaner and I've seen my fair share of entitled people, and I have mad respect for cabin crew. They're so nice but are so badass, they take no shit, there's signs everywhere telling people to be respectful on flights but there's still ding dongs and cabin crew handle them amazingly
rSlash, man... I believe it was 86 when my inlaws (six adults, two kids) drove from North Texas to Disney World and I am still very proud to say that I killed no one... Although, strangulation did cross my mind from time to time. Even with all of us packed into a Chevy Astro, none of us were anywhere close to being as bad as that airline family.
As for that controlling jerk of a, supposed, father. Okay... I consider myself a very strict parent. The kids do too. However, I am the first one they come to when they have a problem. Everything from "Hey... I'm out drinking with people and I need a ride home." to, "My boyfriend/girlfriend had a huge fight. Can I come over to vent a while?" Yeah, I'm strict but no matter what the kids have always known I care deeply for them and their well-being. Also, I think young adults should work retail for a while to let them know the other side of the coin when dealing with other people. It teaches mutual respect for others. The, 'Be nice to the janitors because without them no business can run' concept was taught from the time they were old enough to understand.
I live with an entitled sister in her mid 30s, she is incapable of clarity and thinking that she is fault, she blames my dad or younger sister (who lives 2 states away) and she lives off and with my parents and has no job.
Story 1, stuff like this happens quite often. You don't read or check up on any news do you?
I was like...which time?
I mean, he checked it out.
Listening to these stories really makes me appreciate my parents.
Used to work at my local international airport and let me tell you, DO NOT mess around and find out near and especially in an airport. Feds run security and private companies run the airlines and BOTH will pass costs off to unruly people like this first story. companies have contracts and the airport has Federal Law. Dont win that stupid prize.
My mom was the prime example of controlling behavior back when I was living with my parents as a legal adult. I was not allowed to store any sort of alcohol in my room, and my mom even poured out imported bottles hours after I got them as a gift. Right now I have zero official bank records of purchasing anything from a liquor store.
"Why did you keep having kids" cracked me up. Like my wife says "never be outnumbered".
Love having breakfast while listening to rSlash đ great start to the day
Same
I used to work for a major airline. You would be surprised at the absolutely insane things airline employees have to deal with. They don't realize that screwing around on an aircraft, or going onto an airfield is a federal offense, and can land them in a world of trouble, up to and including serving time in a federal prison. All over something totally stupid. Flights get diverted to have unruly passengers removed from the aircraft on a fairly regular basis, and those people end up in a world of legal problems. Those incidents don't always end up in the news.
I hid stuff from my dad for *YEARS.* I've told him about it in the last couple of years, and his response is, "Why do you get so gleeful about lying to me?!" Um, because you were a straight up abusive person when you did find out I screwed up as a pre-teen and teenager...?
The last story should have a subreddit of its own called "Entitled Families" where some families think they deserve everything for themselves and no one else.
#1 R/slash the no fly list only applies to the one airline, in this case American. There's a federal no fly list and that's separate. The airlines wanted to combine their no fly lists for unruly passengers because this happens so much lately. But republican senators blocked it because most of the issues are related to wearing masks.
Grandma story - My husband's grandfather was sued by his side piece for not divorcing my husband's grandmother...his wife. She wanted a court to force a divorce and marriage. She got laughed out of court, and even though my husband's grandfather stayed with the side piece, he never divorced his wife. My husband's grandmother outlived both of them. When my husband's grandfather died his oldest daughter wanted the side piece acknowledged as a concubine in the obituary. The side piece ended up not being acknowledged at all.
Since the feds got involved, that one might be on the federal list. Or, at least the dad, since he was the one with the threats. Mom and kids will probably be on the company one, at least for a while. No idea how long those last.
@@marjoriejohnston4905 Doesn't mean they'll be on the federal no fly list. If they were, why would the airlines be pushing to combine their lists? He lives in LA but got banned of American, it's hardly an inconvenience.
It's not a matter of the number of cases of unruly passengers has increased its more that the flight crew is just having people arrested for the slightest perceived problem. Being cranky for any reason can get you arrested even if that its totally understandable and you are not actual being openly hostile to the flight crew. Where in the past the flight crew would put up with more than they really should now just doing something that would be extremely minor will now get you arrested.
There are plenty of news reports on extremely minor issues that got someone arrested on a flight.
Just got up and about to head off to school, what a great start to the day! Thanks Rslash!
"Am I the problem?"
Make me think of that Simpsons episode
Skinner: Am I so out of touch? No, it is the children who are wrong.
so "Am I the problem?"
"No, it is the world that is wrong."
As a daughter of a controlling parent, what rSlash said was accurate. My sisters and I learned very young to hide and sneak around so our parents wouldn't loose their shit.
Passenger Threatened to Kill Flight Attendant...
I'm astonished. How did the pilot manage to come about and land at Albuquerque, off-load disruptive passengers, re-fuel, get a maintenance check and still arrive at Los Angeles only two hours late? Hats off to the pilot and co-pilot. Outstanding job of flying.
No matter what goes down on a plane, I just wait it out.
Interestingly enough, in college in the early 1980s, I worked with a co-op program, and got a job working reservation phone bank for now defunct PEOPLExpress airlines.
At one point they had us assigned to work in the terminal itself (Newark Airport), helping station agents.
It was more like shadowing than actually _doing_ anything, as I was only the equivalent of a paid intern.
Well it so happened, on the night I was there, we ended up having some massive weather in various areas of the country, and it was delaying flights right and left.
I shift ended at around 10:00 p.m. . The hallways were lined with seated passengers, as they were not enough seats to accommodate entire plane loads of several flights.
Essentially the poor passengers were waiting for a plane to arrive to take them to Buffalo. Unfortunately, as the plane was arriving, and the passengers were all cheering that this was their escape from newark, station agents and I had been made aware that it was not going to be going to buffalo, but to a different Airport, is the rains in Buffalo are still too severe.
At the end of our shift, two station agents and I walk the entire length of the corridor with people who are elated that they were going to escape, us in the silent night that they were not going to be going anywhere anytime soon, we found slightly bad, but we were smart enough to know we were not going to be the ones to tell them of their flight plight...
My parents were very controlling of me, and it resulted in me being a shut in with basically no social life. I started arguments and discussions against it and it took me a full year to get them to relax. Parents need to realise that their 'precious babies' are people and not mindless pets.
I was willing to believe the first story, since there are definitely people like that in the world and a passenger on a plane threatening to hunt down and shoot one of the flight attendants is a BIG problem. Glad to see you turned up a news article from the same day as the reddit post, though - definitely good to actually check and confirm things.
As someone that had controlling parents growing up I would say she handled things really good. My dad also tried to control my spending when I was living on my own and paying my own bills. It got so bad that I completely ignored all phone calls and went and stayed at a friends house for a couple days so they didnât know where I was. Looking back I know it probably scared them a bit. But it got the message across. They were still controlling, but they relaxed with my bank account.
You're right! When you interfere with one of the plane attendants the penalties are quite steep. Not only is the fine high but the person can also get up to 10 years in jail.
From what you've said, it couldn't happen to a better guy.
Entitled person waking up from a nightmare: "oh my god it was scary, the world didn't revolve around me and I wasn't the center of everyone's attention, thank me it was a night mare. Oh boy 5am time to go enrich the lives of teenager workers at the local grocery store with my presence"
The first story is absolutely hilarious in an ironic sense. In less than 30 minutes, I have an interview with the TSA. đ€Ł
That grandma trying to sue for visitation, while its kinda crazy its also kinda sweet. Like she wants you to be part of her life so bad that shes willing to go that far to get it.
Story one: I hope that crazy flier can't rent a car to get back home, either. I hope he has to take a bus with his four undisciplined brats. Bus drivers take no crap!
I hate screaming running children in a plane or a restaurant.
I hate screaming, running children.
15:00
âYou donât create obedient children, just sneaky children.â
Yuh thatâs me.
Just bought a plane ticket right before watching this video....
I hope no entitled parents decide to take my flight
Last story: very true. My siblings still hid stuff from our parents because they were strict. We even hid them while we lived in the house. They never wanted to hear from us and every conversation ended with "dont talk back to mee" and "my house. My rules". A big reason why I wanted to move out. And have been happy ever since.
I have 6 older brothers. The closest is 9 years older than me. The oldest could be my dad, he has a daughter(my niece who is 3 months younger than me.) Lots of family stories which I loved listening to. One: There was about a grocery store in Greeley, Colo. named Snow White back in the 50's-60's. Mom had never been there before. The owner said his heart sank when he saw mom walk in with 6 young boys. (He knew all about how kids misbehaved in the store and the damage they did! ) The boys lined up two by two and held hands and walked behind mom. They would get what she asked them to and put it in the cart. They were polite to people saying please, thank you, and excuse me as they needed to. The grocer and his wife became very good friends with mom and dad. After they had known each other for a couple of years he told mom about his feelings when he saw her and the boys for the first time. I can remember as a kid(in the 60's) sitting quietly in a restaurant listening to the adults talk. This was LOOONG before them offering kids place mats and colors or taking a toy with you to play with while waiting! Also politely asking for food to be passed and when I was done eating, sitting quietly for a while BEFORE asking if I could be excused from the table..I maybe wrong but I believe that good manners and teaching them to your kids went out with the "Hippie" Generation.
Oh boy. Threatening to shoot someone is bad, but doing so on the plane is much much worse
Anyone else love it when rSlash does his research for videos like this? Idk, it's a nice little treat.
The law student's dad is gonna be SO shocked when she goes full no contact about 10 minutes after graduation. đđ
Man does that last message from R/Slash really hit home. My fiancé has that type of controlling parent because his step dad is that way. In the Step Dad's mind, he's teaching his step son about responsibility and taking care of himself. When in fact, he's just freaking about the littlest of things.
Like for example, if he sees a speck, a tiny little thing even though my Fiancé has cleaned everything until it's spotless. He'll freak out about it. Or go passive aggressive. Which stresses my Fiancé out more.
You're not teaching your children, you're just stressing them out and making them fearful of you.
For the first story, I looked up drive times from Albuquerque to both LA and North Carolina. If the entitled family lived in LA, they had an 11-hour drive back to LA. If they lived in North Carolina, they had a 25-hour drive to get back home. Either trip would put a dent in that family's wallet with gas and pit-stop hotels. And I imagine those parents needed a lot of pit-stops with kids like theirs.
The first story sure isn't plain.
Youâre right. It was plane.
My mother-in-law took me to court to try to get grandparents rights to see my daughter. She was 6 days old and had a cold so she was taking breathing treatments a couple times a day. It all started because she wanted my daughter to spend the entire weekend (her very first weekend ever) at her house and I was ânot allowedâ to come with her. We spent a day arguing with me saying I was willing to come over for the weekend and bring her with me and her claiming she couldnât spend time with her if I was there. She was also welcome to come see her whenever she wanted at my house but she just HAD to have her all alone and it freaked me out. This was my first child, I was 18, she wasnât even a week old and was sick having trouble breathing. There was absolutely no way I was going to let this happen. The judge laughed her out of court the next week since our state only allows grandparents rights if one parent is deceased and since her son (my daughters father) was only in jail and still obviously living it was dropped and never mentioned again. My daughter is almost 16 now, my MIL barely even visits and my daughter hates having to see her, lol.
I had the aisle and fell asleep. At some point later I awoke and the lady in the middle seat asked to get up. She was gone for quite a while, actually, she never returned! Some random guy took her seat. Odd but I thought nothing of it. The rest of the plane goes smoothly with the new male passenger sitting in the middle. Oddly he was given 1st class meals...why did he move back here? As we approached our destination the guy went back to his first-class seat. The plane landed and we were instructed to remain seated. 2-3 (I forget how many) airport police boarded the plane, walked down the aisle to my row and asked me to get up. I did. They arrested the man who had been sitting at the window seat the entire flight (barring a restroom visit or two). Something else to not do on a flight: sexually assaulting a fellow passenger on a flight. Especially an INTERNATIONAL flight!
I would love to see that dad with a clean resume, no previous experience, try to get a job at an office or other higher job.
Two opposite stories.
First one:
No control over the children.
Absolutly no interest in parenting.
Last story:
Absolutly overcontroling parent.
Don't people know how to balance parenting?
Shame on the 'calm' mother. Her responsibility isn't to stay with a man who treats her child like shit.
I can confirm that strict parents create sneaky kids. My dad is a cop and my mom is a control freak, so in high school/early college i went off the rails. Drugs, shoplifting, sex, etc. I basically did anything risky I could. They would then bring down the hammer and that would cause me to do even worse things. I definitely would not recommend that parenting style đŹ
Just realized something - in all these COVID era incidents where the flight attendants have to duct tape someone to their chair, where was the Air Marshal? Iâm tempted to believe they donât actually exist lol.
That dad has a really creepy sense of agency over his daughters body.
