“I Loved Every Moment Of That”: Plane Bursts Into Laughter And Applause After Captain Puts An Entitled Passenger In Her Place
Cramped seats, irritated passengers, and soaring flight prices with planes packed full to the brim can surely bring out the worst in us.
This story titled “Karen On A Plane” and shared on the Petty Revenge subreddit sheds a light on exactly how entitled some travelers might be.
According to the author, as soon as the plane landed, “a Karen in the back unbuckled and darted to the front of the plane to get off first.” After an 8-hour flight, everyone was exhausted, so nobody said a word.
But the captain didn’t remain silent and pulled a hilarious move to teach the entitled passenger a lesson.

“Don’t treat the airplane like your living room,” an etiquette expert warns

With the seats getting tinier these days, traveling is not as glamorous as it used to be. Flight fares are soaring, planes are packed to the brim, and travelers seem to be more careless than ever. But since we should all aim for a pleasant and civil flight, there is some basic flying etiquette to be aware of.
Jacqueline Whitmore, a founder of the Protocol School of Etiquette in Palm Beach, Florida, argues that bringing in food with “a highly identifiable or offensive smell” is not smart. In fact, she argues, “There’s nothing more annoying than having to smell someone’s greasy fish tacos.”
Jacqueline believes that if you can’t lift your own bag, it’s better to stow it instead of carrying it on. Relying on others to lift it for you is not an option.
The internet is full of pictures showing strangers’ feet jammed in a plane seat. “Keep your dirty feet off the seat in front of you. This is not only gross, but it’s also unsanitary,” Jacqueline warns.
“Don’t treat the airplane like your living room. If you must air out your feet, keep your socks on or wear slippers.”
People are tired of sitting next to unruly passengers in planes, hence the soaring popularity of passenger-shaming groups

It shouldn’t be surprising that flight attendants are no strangers to rude passengers. Shawn Kathleen, a former flight attendant of seven years who runs the Passenger Shaming account on Instagram, told Vox that the one thing she really found interesting was that previously, a lot of content related to rude behavior on planes was submitted by crew members.
But things have changed. “Now 99 percent are from passengers because they don’t want to sit next to these people. They’re like, ‘I’m calling these people out for this BS behavior.’”
A lot of the content is foot-related, or concerning arguments, people eating things like hard-boiled eggs or tuna, and clipping their nails. Shawn believes that this type of behavior was made worse by the coronavirus pandemic. “It was a s**tshow before, and now add everything else on top of it.”
Having said that, Shawn noted that this is still a very small percentage of people behaving that way. “When I was a flight attendant, 99 percent of the people I ran into were awesome.”
Many people joined the discussion and shared supportive comments

Alanis Morissette updated ‘Ironic’ for today’s problems and it’s hilarious
Alanis Morissette’s 1995 song “Ironic” was a massive hit, making the top five in Australia, Canada, the U.S., and Norway.
It would go on to be nominated for two Grammys and its video featuring Morissette singing in a large automobile would be nominated for six MTV video music awards. But the song has drawn more than a few raised eyebrows from pedants across the English-speaking world for being about coincidences, not irony. But who cares? It’s still a good song.
Twenty years later, Morissette updated her song with the help of “The Late Late Show” host James Corden to reflect modern problems, including Facebook, vaping, Netflix, and Southwest flights. She even made fun of her original song singing, “It’s singing ‘Ironic,’ but there are no ironies / And who would’ve thought it figures?”
An old friend sends you a Facebook request
You only find out they’re racist after you accept
There’s free office cake on the first day of your diet
It’s like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like swiping left on your future soulmate
It’s a Snapchat that you wish you had saved
It’s a funny tweet that nobody faves
And who would’ve thought it figures
It’s a traffic jam when you try to use Waze
A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape
It’s 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!
It’s singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think
It’s like you’re first class on a Southwest plane
Then you realize that every seat is the same
It’s like Amazon but your package never came
And who would’ve thought it figures
It’s like Netflix but you own DVDs
It’s a free ride but your Uber’s down the street
It’s singing “Ironic,” but there are no ironies
And who would’ve thought it figures

Father of prank YouTuber who was shot says family has received harassment
The father of Tanner Cook, the prank YouTuber who was recently shot in Virginia, said that his family has received harassment following his son’s hospitalization.
Jeramy Cook said he has received messages stating that his son deserved to get shot because of his YouTube channel. He also said he has been getting contacts and messages to his phone that have made him feel threatened.
“Our family has been absolutely targeted by people saying he should have died, too bad he didn’t die, just colorful, nasty language,” Jeramy Cook said.
Tanner Cook’s videos, posted on his YouTube channel Classified Goons, have received backlash since he was injured at the Dulles Town Center Mall in Sterling, Virginia on Sunday.
Cook was playing a prank involving Google Translate at the time of the shooting. The shooter, Alan Colie, was working for DoorDash at the time and told Cook multiple times to get away from him, Detective Katie Mitchell of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said during a court hearing this week, according to CBS-affiliate WUSA.
The YouTuber is known for pulling audacious practical jokes on unsuspecting strangers. Some of his videos include “Fake Target Thug Employee Prank,” “Fake Vomiting On Uber Drivers!” and “Taking Rackets From Tennis Players Prank!”
Comments under his latest YouTube videos show viewers praising and sympathizing with Colie. Others made jokes about Cook’s injury, which required him to undergo surgery to remove his gallbladder.
Jeramy Cook said many of the responses to his son’s experience have gone too far.
“It’s just gross,” Jeramy Cook said. “How do they think that they’re on some high moral ground to cuss somebody out whose son was just shot?”
Jeramy Cook said his son is “a good kid that doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.” He added that Tanner wants to provide entertainment to people.
He also pointed out that his son is not the only person to create prank content. The genre stretches back to the days of Ashton Kutcher’s “Punk’d” or “Jackass” movies and have been a staple of online culture for years.
While the content is divisive, prank videos remain a popular genre on YouTube. One of Tanner Cook’s collaborators includes JiDion, a notorious YouTuber who has built a following of over 6 million followers for his pranks.
“There’s a million TV shows and movies and YouTube channels … [of] people pranking people all day long, and people eat it up,” Jeramy Cook said. “So if there’s some magical line in terms of what’s not okay, then that line should be clearly defined for anybody in the space.”
Jeramy Cook said he forgives Colie, but added if someone feels harassed, they should tell the police and let law enforcement handle the issue.
“If he didn’t break the law, and he broke somebody’s feelings, then that’s not a thing that’s actionable,” Jeramy Cook said. “You know, you can’t take the law into your own hands because you feel triggered.”
One target of Cook’s pranking, Natalie Lomax, told CBS-affiliate WUSA that she reported Cook to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department three weeks before the shooting. Lomax did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment.
Lomax and the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“It’s been a lot, emotionally and physically,” Jeramy Cook said of the past week. “So we’re just praying and trusting God and getting through it.”
Andrew Wiggins returned to the Warriors to a standing ovation and with a huge, heartwarming smile
Andrew Wiggins, a former NBA champion and All-Star, has returned to the Golden State Warriors after missing more than 20 games while attending to a private, personal family matter.
The former No. 1 pick addressed the media before the game on Tuesday and said that he was “hopeful” he would return before the end of the regular season. He added that he rejoined his teammates because he felt he was finally in a “safe place” to do as much.
Although he didn’t play in Golden State’s game against Oklahoma City on Tuesday, it was his first public appearance in nearly two months. When the fans saw him on the Warriors’ bench, he was greeted with a standing ovation and an incredibly warm welcome:

Just from the video above, you can see how grateful the Golden State fans are to have Wiggins back with the team.
From his smile, it’s evident how much he appreciates their support.
His teammates seemed encouraged about the reunion as well. Golden State’s Jordan Poole described Wiggins’ return as “awesome” because he is a “bright light” and an “amazing spirit” in the locker room.

Warriors executive Bob Myers also spoke about Wiggins:
“Thank you for respecting Andrew’s life and privacy over the last six weeks … That’s a pretty rare thing now in our business, to respect the personal life of someone who is in a public job … Basketball is a really important thing in the world and certainly here, but it’s never more important than family, and that’s never going to change … We will always fully support that … I know you have to ask him questions … I hope you can respect the answers he gives and he’ll be as open as he chooses to be.”
Wiggins is expected to return to the court either Friday in Sacramento or Sunday in Portland.
Golden State is in a three-way tie in the loss column with the Lakers and Clippers. The Timberwolves and Pelicans are only narrowly trailing the trio of Pacific division rivals.
Only two of the aforementioned organizations will be able to avoid the play-in tournament to earn an official spot in the postseason. Wiggins’ return will help Golden State in that pursuit.
