A frustrated JetBlue flight attendant allegedly fled his plane via emergency chute -- beer in hand -- after getting into a fight with a passenger and then cursing out the entire cabin over a loudspeaker.

Sounds like he deserved the beer, from the way the passenger was acting.  But if you've got to go, what a way to make an exit yyyyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh!.   awesome, for real

Yeah, I enjoyed reading that earlier.  I usually want to murder half the people on the plane with me just as a passenger, I don't know how flight attendants handle it.  Though it seems this guys mom is also dying of Lung Cancer, so I'm sure that probably helped him snap after working in the airline for decades.

In other job quiting news, this has been making the rounds today:

Too bad Plane guy violated so many FAA rules he was arrested and faces some jail time.  I'm wondering if/ when Homeland Security will get in on it and make his life a little more hellish.

Well.. she IS.  awesome, for real

Bad move wearing the outfit. I'm willing to bet Spencer keeps those photos for his own private use.  He's likely to have plenty of it after being fired for 19 hours of farmville a week.

Back in the mid-90s I got the opportunity to quit a job in a similar fashion, albeit not as exciting or dramatic.  It did end with tossing my workvest to the customer while telling him "You know what, old man?  Fuck you.  Seriously, go fuck yourself."  Best thing I ever did... moved out of my hometown within the week and into a tech job making double what I was at the previous place. 

So thank you, old man customer, for riding me about how young kids know nothing these days.  You can still go fuck yourself though.  I take solace in the fact that you're likely dead now.

There's nothing on the facebook thing. Nothing stopping you from just grabbing any one of the photos and whiting out the whiteboard to put your own message on it. Or Lunch.

Why is the acronym HOPA when the actual phrase is HPOA? Doesn't that violate some sort of acronym law or something?
