There is a large Facebook group about passengers behaving badly in, on and around planes. Yet recently the Moderators of the American Airlines board at Flyertalk.com shut down a thread which collected together images of passengers behaving badly on American and USAirways.
So who’s right?
This, by the way, was my contribution to the short lived Flyertalk thread – breakfast time at the Admirals Club in Miami.
yup… shame away. this is real life not a montosorri education class
Right! People can be real a$$h@le$, and shaming is a perfectly acceptable way of changing the behavior.
If people are happy to behave like that in public, why should they feel shame – or resent – a photo of their behaviour?
It’s passive-aggressive and annoying. I seldom read stories with “look at what this person kept doing AFTER I asked them to stop!”
If you’re annoyed by something do something about it. Taking a picture will change literally nothing.
Passenger shaming is just a passive-aggressive method to make the shamer feel good but does nothing to curb any behaviour. It only makes the shamer look like a whiny douche.
Take a chill pill and enjoy the things that are going well with your trip.
