Karma is a - ha ha ha!

personally I’d be more pissed about somebody messing with the controls. Once is an accident. Twice means he is one of these completely unaware older folks who needs to be instructed. If deliberate I’d switch with the daughter and then we can see who takes the elbow rest.

glad to hear they lost his luggage.
