Any subject can be controversial but none quite as controversial as food. It seems as if everybody has an opinion on the type of food they eat and they will argue about it until their dying breath.
Even if you don’t receive permission to talk about food, it is eventually going to come up in conversation. The problem is, it is not always going to come up in the best way possible and sometimes, it is nothing more than picking a fight.
A man found himself in a difficult situation when he was on a flight and was very hungry. He wanted to have the hamburger he bought but the vegetarian next to him was not happy.
This is happening right now and the lady sitting next to me is glaring daggers at me while making passive aggressive comment under her breath.
I have a 8 hour flight with a short connection. The 1st flight only served a small cracker pack and the 2nd will be the same. During the connection, I only had barely enough time to run from one end of the airport to the other. Once I got to my connecting gate, I found out I had enough time to order food but not eat it. I checked with the gate agent to see if I can bring food onboard and she happily reassured me that I could. I went and got a burger, fries, and a drink.
When I was allowed to put the tray down, I did and started to eat. This is when the lady sitting next to me told me she doesn’t eat meat or fried foods and the smell of my burger and fries are making her sick. At 1st I ignored her and kept on eating but she complained louder. I finally told her I bought the food after checking with the gate agent and I’m hungry so she’s out of luck. She called the flight attendant and was told that I’m well within my rights to eat food that was bought at the airport.
I know I’m right when it comes to the airline rules but the food is pungent in an enclosed area and she’s still glaring at me so am I an AH?
