[FONT=&quot]An American Airlines passenger is speaking out about a “horrifying” ordeal she experienced on a recent flight.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Chloe King, a social media manager from New York City, was en route to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, when she awoke from a nap to learn that the man next to her had been masturbating while she slept, reports the New York Daily News.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In an essay she wrote for Medium, King explained that the woman seated on the man’s other side (he was in the middle seat, King was by the window) saw the man masturbating and informed a flight attendant, who allowed the woman to switch seats.[/FONT]

Sounds like one of our resident pervs might have been on a plane recently.

The only reason I'd need a flight attendant for is to bring lots of ice water.
 
Re: Amer. Airlines passenger details 'horrifying' flight next to masturbating seat-ma

Best thing to do in that situation...

"Awwww...look at that little guy, it's so CUTE!"
 
Re: Amer. Airlines passenger details 'horrifying' flight next to masturbating seat-ma

Nature called?

I'm thinking the guy who is often the nickname for beaver.

That would be a very dumb idea. It's better to just report it and let them handle it than to get yourself arrested for assault and perhaps sued by the man.

Oh I'm sure the DA would chomping at the bit to prosecute THAT.........

So you're saying the law would ignore an assault? Interesting.

Yep. Took the matter into his own hand.

On a plane? Yeah, she probably would end up in more trouble than the guying spanking his pud.
 
Re: Amer. Airlines passenger details 'horrifying' flight next to masturbating seat-ma


That guy is in a world of trouble. I travel a lot for work and I'm well aware you're not allowed on a flight with a loaded weapon. It was convenient that the French police had a firm handle with which to haul the guy of the plane with upon landing.

Does pouring cold water on someone meet every element of assault on a law school exam? Probably. In reality no prosecutor will put that before a jury in these circumstances. They would rule unanimously she gets the keys to the city

Why? I am thirsty, and when something startles me, accidents happen.
I assume you read the article?
"the crew saw that...." and told her later about it. Another passenger saw it and moved to another seat. Great help they were.

Which I would accept with pleasure.
 
Re: Amer. Airlines passenger details 'horrifying' flight next to masturbating seat-ma

I'd just loudly verbally abuse the guy until he moved or they allowed me to move. Or could take Lovebug's idea and roll with that. I can be a bit of a klutz.

Hands get shaky up on high. ;)
 
Re: Amer. Airlines passenger details 'horrifying' flight next to masturbating seat-ma

I take it the guy didn't pull it out and go to town. Had he done that, he most certainly would have been arrested. He must have just been playing pocket pool. And, that certainly is not a crime...just weird.
 
Re: Amer. Airlines passenger details 'horrifying' flight next to masturbating seat-ma

Is it just me?
Or is it that there are more and more weirdos making questionable behavior decisions while in public?
Is it that formerly in place self restraint seems to be flagging? (Certainly seems that way)

I'm not sure that it's more prominent, perhaps it's just that technology and the Internet has changed news reporting so much, we hear about things we likely wouldn't have before. More and more people are sharing information on Social Media networks too.

It would appear that way yes. Or was it just covered up and ignored due to embarrassment at making such issues public, I don't know.

with the PC patrol wanting everything "out there and okay" I think certain doors are opened that would otherwise remain closed

is it good for it to be out there

maybe

True, there's no denying those things, but still, I can't believe what people choose to share on Social Media, again, that might also be an example of self restraint flagging, and wouldn't such examples are being covered in 'news' media would again be an example of media restraint flagging?

Kinda leaning that way myself on this. Not really seeing it as a good thing, really.

is it relevant or valueable to my life/world to know someone's brain was scramble enough that he was jerking off on a flight on the other side of the world?

does this serve some purpose other than easy armchair voyeurism?

I'd have to say no on both counts. I suppose there is such a thing as a story that's NOT worth reporting.
