An
odd fellow boarded and asked to sit in the middle seat next to me.
You know how you just think someone is a D-Bag? Then he proved it as he asked me to let him up to use the lav just as the door was closing.
Shortly after take off the FA served our drinks, I orderd a vodka and cran
and he ordered tomato juice. The
little booger spilled his entire cup of tomato juice on my leg and I was wearing khaki shorts. Then he got offended when
I said, "way to go Fedex." (that's a line from Cheaper by the Dozen) The FA immediately handed us a few napkins but the cold drink had already started seeping through my shorts to my skin.
I went to the rear lav to attempt to dry off. The other FA said, "sir you're supposed to drink it not bathe in it." I told him what happened and he gave me a cup with a lid and a straw full of tomato juice to give to the guy. I
took it up to the dweeb and loudly said, "
here's a sippie cup for you."
When we were exiting I told him to keep a lid on it.
JMHO, but it sounds like you boarded the flight with a chip on your shoulder, and blew a minor accident with no damages into some sort of assault.
I've had several people spill both hot and cold beverages on me over the years. Each time I chose not to inflame the situation. And each time the spillers were decorous and calm about the mishap, and the FA's helpful, in one case making a makeshift ice pack after pax spilled 18 ounces of hot Starbucks over my thigh and leg, and in another producing a stain remover pen to help pretreat a wine stain from an errant splash from a pax.
Going to fly a lot? Expect this and a lot of other accidents to occur.
