...on the airport tram.

Traveling standby out of LAS, and I actually make the flight (2 empty seats). But there's no space in the overhead bins where I'm sitting, so I toss my bag into one of the open bins in first class. The following conversation ensued, verbatim:

Tool in 1st class: "You didn't just crush my laptop, did you?"
Me: "Yeah. I smashed it to pieces."
Tool in 1st class: "Don't get smart with me!"
Me: "Who the hell are you?"
Tool in 1st class: stammers...everyone starts to giggle, I walk back to my seat & a dude high-fives me.

^^^ Was not in uniform when that happened :D thank god

Please tell me this did not involve DAL.

How about the tool captain that includes this is every Pre-flight brief. As he taps his eppaulets "you know what this means? It means I have 51% control of this aircraft. The rest of it is dispersed at my discretion.". This guy is 23 and was hired at 18.... :rolleyes:

I'm not sure which one of you qualifies as the tool :)

He thought his thread was a contest.

Self-disclosing only saves you the fine and penalty, but the problem is that the violation seemed intentional.

You're definitely going to have a "Tool" on your record.:rolleyes:

If you're traveling standby, and get a seat, you probably outta be a little more discreet and either run you bag downstairs or don't harass the paying pax. Sounds like the tool was you.;)

I saw that as a LCA. They get it out of their system after about two years in the left seat.
