Angst with Inflight Movies

I think I'd have gone all sarcastic on the guy.

Something like "Oh right excuse me sir, what was I thinking! Imagine me trying to FLY THE PLANE rather than be concerned with the inflight entertainment. You're right I SHOULD RETIRE RIGHT NOW! Sorry guys cant fly anymore - I HAVE TO TURN IN MY BADGE!"
 
"...and just think sir - I get paid $350,000 a year and only work three days a month to pick out these movies. There are two things wrong with what I just said. I will let you think on that." :)

I found 3 things?

O well, people suck and bored easily. Some just love to other, while others want a free ticket. Just smile and shoot off some prefabricated PR thing like "I'm sorry sir that the movie was not up to your standards, unfortunately, the flight crew is not in charge of the media selection. I welcome you to take this magazine with you and send your valued concerns to the address listed on the back, I assure you that these will be forwarded to the appropriate department."

Chances are he'll just f=*k you off, or get mad, but you did you job, it's time for the supervisor to work his/her PR magic. :nana2:

Anybody else have a hard time understanding these two "sentences"?

That sentence I understand all too well (except for using "you" instead of "your", but that's another subject). In my opinion if you have to use symbols instead of letters, then don't. There's a filter for certain words on this website, and I presume it is there for a reason. If it were my website, I would consider it a slap in the face if someone circumvented a restriction that I had put in place, and did it on purpose.

Personally, I like that this place is PG-13, not R like some other websites.

SteveC, yha sorry about that. I usually just keep my words understandable, and appropriate for all ages. Frankly, I used to despise people who used those terms because I found them inappropriate, however, being in high school in L.A., I've become desensitized to most words, but I still try not to use any.

I just got frustrated last night because I found out the insurance company decided to wreck a car (give it a salvage title), and it's going to be impossible to replace it. Oh well, that's what I get for driving home with my parents through an area known for meth labs and then getting hit by a car and not chasing after him. Dang hit-and-runs. :(

Oh, and it was supposed to be "some just love to argue" not "other"
 
I think thats great. The sound isn't even on... you have to get headphones; so he had to make sure that his children and him had headphones to hear the 'foul' language... and if his kids are that small... how could they see over the seats to see something so terrible... let alone edited hardcore for the plane ride anyways?
 
"That was amazingly rude that you knew you were going to be that early and didn't say anything. Now I've got to wait for a ride in the cold. I could have called my wife back in (departure airport) and let her know."

I would say, "Why don't you have a seat for the next 15 minutes and if you don't like that I'll have TSA here in a few moments because it seems your abnormal behaviour is a security threat! What plan did we foil because we were 15 minutes early? Cavity search for you!"
 
That's not what you'd say. You'd break their jaw and then go and then go eat a meal replacement bar and work out.
 
I would turn the movie off IF that is possible or as Doug said offer the number to a customer care consultant. Last thing I would do is blow the upset passanger off.
 
"Oh right excuse me sir, what was I thinking! Imagine me trying to FLY THE PLANE rather than be concerned with the inflight entertainment. You're right I SHOULD RETIRE RIGHT NOW! Sorry guys cant fly anymore - I HAVE TO TURN IN MY BADGE!"

I hope you don't mind if I make this my new sig line......
