Alec Baldwin - Justified outrage or spoiled brat.

Asked by YoBob (12846points) December 9th, 2011

So… I was traveling last week. I flew American Airlines on my multi-hop business trip and was somewhat annoyed at the passenger next to me who, after multiple requests to turn off all electronic devices, continued to fart around with her cell phone until the flight attendant had to ask her to shut it off. I thought it to be rude, self absorbed, and totally inconsiderate. After all, the FAA requires these devices to be turned off for a reason, they emit signals that can interfere with the instruments on the aircraft.

While eating breakfast at the hotel two days later I see this news story . Having recently been annoyed by a passenger with a similar disregard, I am of the opinion that Alec Baldwin is a spoiled brat that needs to come to grips with the fact that he has to turn his toy of during takeoff just like the rest of us instead of throwing a temper tantrum, running into the bathroom, and slamming the door.

OTOH, I ran into another passenger on my trip home who seemed to be totally behind Baldwin’s revolt against the flight attendant that was forced to finally ask him in person to shut off his electronic device.

Am I the only one who thinks Baldwin acted like a spoiled brat with a sense of entitlement?
