We each have our breaking point where we believe spending such mental energy is needed. This was mine. Glad to know your level of tolerance for such nonsense is higher.
I think this would be my breaking point as well. There is no way I could have shut up after the FA asked "You wanna try me?". I would have replied "Yes".
So then what? He calls the captain and has me kicked off the flight. For what reason? Because he feels like it???
They would surely have to call the cops and Dr. Dao me off, because I would not go willingly, and in the interim I would be recording everything (as I'm sure my seat mates would be).
And you are completely right (on your previous post) if we don't start standing up to this BS it will only get worse.
