An affluent man becomes displeased with being seated next to a corpulent woman in first class and begins to voice his complaints to the flight attendant.<\/p>\n
The instant James Courtney spotted the woman seated beside him on the flight, he knew it was going to be a rough one. She was enormous! With her seated next him, how in the world was he going to travel in comfort?<\/p>\n
The woman took a seat, jabbing at James with her elbow as she fastened her seat belt. \u201cObserve it!\u201d She turned to face James as he aggressively yelled at her.<\/p>\n
She sobbed, \u201cOh, I\u2019m so sorry. Please pardon me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPardon me?\u201d sarcastically questioned James. Or pardon the three thousand doughnuts you consumed to reach that weight?<\/p>\n
The woman gave him a startled gasp, and James noticed that she was rather young with a weak but sweet face. He was inspired to scoff, \u201cLady, you need to book TWO seats when you travel!\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s eyes welled up with tears, but James was in the mood, especially after noticing how cheap and dated her clothes were and how worn out her shoes were.<\/p>\n
\u201cI assume your entire budget goes on nachos and hot dogs, right?\u201d he asked. So you\u2019re not able to afford two seats? The next time you pass the hat, I\u2019m sure everyone on the plane will be quite giving!<\/p>\n
The woman turned to face the window, and James saw the tears streaming down her cheeks in the reflection. He said, \u201cListen.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sure my friend who owns a clinic down in Mexico would give you a liposuction for a lot less money!\u201d<\/p>\n
By the time James felt his discomfort from being pressed up against her soft weight had subsided, the young woman\u2019s shoulders were quivering with sobs. He thus requested a Martini when the bartender arrived with the drinks cart.<\/p>\n
Everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.
\nIn his best James Bond voice, he said, \u201cShaken, not stirred,\u201d and then, \u201cI don\u2019t know what Moby Dick here will drink.\u201d<\/p>\n
The attractive attendant gave him a snide look while pressing her lips together tightly. Next, she spoke to the woman seated beside her. \u201cMadam, what would you like to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n
With a nod, the woman dabbed at her eyes. \u201cPlease, give me a diet Coke.\u201d<\/p>\n
James sneered. \u201cDon\u2019t you think a diet Coke would be a little late in the game?\u201d Though James felt a slight glow upon realizing he\u2019d upset both the flight attendant and the woman, they both chose to ignore him.<\/p>\n
While the woman next to him sipped her diet Coke, he reclined and bit on an olive and sipped his Martini. With a shudder, he realized she would eventually need to use the restroom and would be squeezing by him.<\/p>\n
Shortly after he had finished his last drink, the flight attendant arrived carrying food. She placed a lovely tray in front of him and another one in front of the passenger next him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you certain that will suffice?\u201d The flight attendant was asked by James, \u201cWhy do you think it would take a village to feed this lady?\u201d<\/p>\n
Disregarding him, the flight attendant continued serving the other first-class customers. \u201cShe really was impolite, wasn\u2019t that?\u201d James questioned the person seated beside him, saying, \u201cI think I\u2019ll complain about her.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the other traveler disregarded him as well, and James proceeded to enjoy the genuinely superb meal. When the flight attendant returned, he was finishing the last of his wine, and she was beaming.<\/p>\n
\u201cPardon me,\u201d she began. \u201cThe captain would love to have you come up to the cockpit. He\u2019s a big fan.\u201d<\/p>\n
After being startled, James noticed that the large woman sitting next to him was being spoken to by the flight attendant. She was flushing, nodding, and smiling. This implied that James needed to stand up and give her space.<\/p>\n
After guiding the woman off of the aircraft, James resumed his seat. He expected to be forwarding a good deal of venomous emails concerning the first class service and conditions on the company\u2019s flights to the management.<\/p>\n
When the captain\u2019s voice came over the speakers, he was mentally crafting some great diatribes. \u201cLadies and gentlemen,\u201d he said. One of us is a celebrity! You will recognize the voice if, like me, you are an avid listener of \u201cI Love Opera.\u201d<\/p>\n
When a beautiful voice began singing a few bars of a well-known aria in the cabin, the other passengers began to applaud and make joyful comments to one another. \u201cThat\u2019s correct,\u201d declared the captain. \u201cWe\u2019re flying with the lovely Miss Allison Jones to perform a charity concert for world hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n
James winced as the entire aircraft broke into spontaneous applause. The flight attendant then approached. \u201cListen up, buster,\u201d she replied in a harsh, icy tone. \u201cI\u2019m putting you in economy if you upset that girl again, no matter how many millions you have.\u201d<\/p>\n
James noticed the sparkle in the flight attendant\u2019s eye as he opened his mouth to object. \u201cI apologize,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to apologize to me!\u201d said she.<\/p>\n
After some time, Allison Jones, the large woman, reappeared, grinning and signing autographs for the other travelers. James shot to his feet to give her room to sit.<\/p>\n
He smiled his most endearing smile and said, \u201cListen.\u201d \u201cI apologize if I offended you a little; I didn\u2019t know who you were.\u201d<\/p>\n
James saw that Allison had the most stunning eyes when she turned to face him. It makes no difference who I am. Never, ever treat someone that way! Furthermore, you\u2019re not sorry. If I wasn\u2019t sort of famous, would you even be saying sorry? I mean, I can\u2019t control my weight, but you can alter your mindset. Give up passing judgment on others.<\/p>\n
James stopped talking, lowered himself back into his chair, and remained silent until their arrival in Portland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
