Escorted Away
I was on a red-eye flight from Sacramento to NYC and it was somewhat empty. I had a window seat. There was an old man sitting next to me and a couple in the row in front of mine. As I was falling asleep, I noticed that the woman in the front was resting her head on the guy’s lap. “Oh, okay. She must be tired”, I thought.
I wake up a few minutes later to the flight attendant scolding the couple in front, telling them that no, do not do that. I kind of suspected what was going on, but I didn’t really care. I was too tired to think about this further. I try to go back to sleep when a head pillow fell in between the couple’s seat and the floor of my row. I paid no attention, went back to sleep.
I wake up to the flight attendant scolding them even louder, telling the couple that they were disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves.
A few hours later, we land in JFK, and we are told the Federal Marshals need to come on board. Two feds come and escort the couple away. The old man sitting next to me tells the flight attendant that the couple had left a pillow and she told him that he better not touch it.
I think they were banned from the airline, but am not sure.
