Cool

In this era of the emancipated free-ranging ego I have to say that I am glad this wiseass is jailed. Why? Because I am sick and fed up with "customers" challenging the rules of whatever service it is they have bought when the rules are there (a) for safety and (b) are a reasonable part of the bargain.

When you buy an airline ticket you are signing up to many things, Chicago Convention etc, weight of baggage, size of carryon, no active cellphone, promptness for delivery of service, and since 9/11/01 restricted in-cabin items. Dats it! No "you are on honeymoon so do as you like", No "you earn a lot so do as you like" ....

Somehow, these days, more and more people believe that they are exempt from the rules... duh??!!! your mommy/daddy and wife/husband/partner may think you special but in fact... you are just like the rest of us!!!
