An American Airlines passenger was caught vaping in the lavatory, and then proceeded to have a meltdown, attempting to flip the script, accusing the flight attendant of assault. What I find so strange about this interaction is that the poorly behaved passenger is the one circulating this video online, and is presenting himself as the…

Smoking and vaping is not allowed. Why he didn't simply comply, I don't know. Why people can't simply follow the rules boggles the mind. And as I've said time and time again, if you're not going to worry about something in 5 years, it's best to not worry about it at all.
The ignorance of some passengers is beyond comprehension. One trusts that AA will ban the beggar from their aircraft …. period!
One now awaits the defenders of the indefensible to attempt a justified excuse for such crass ingnorance.
I wonder...
Where would one learn to deny, deny, deny and the aggressively attack the ones who accused them of wrongdoing? To bald-face lie when confronted by truth and fact?
How could one think that behavior would warrenty success?
What role model?
Hmmm...
Definitely grabbing a phone wasn't a smart move here, but it kinda help expose this guy. The bad thing is that this will probably bring him more followers. Hopefully he also gets put on some no-fly list.
Before the pedant peasants start …. Yes, I have noticed that Mr Apple auto-insert has misspelled ignorance …. however, I did fail to stop publication as soon as I noticed after I pressed send.
"a self-proclaimed celebrity pickleball coach, agent, and AI expert"
If you look up "insufferable douchebag" in the thesaurus, you'll find all 3 of these items.
Wow, how freaking embarrassing for the FA's. She even said sorry.
This is why we need to get back to punching people in the face for disrespect. The captain should have put the plane on autopilot, beat the living crap out of this kid and then lock him in the bathroom. Vapes are destroying the world because people can't even go 2 hours without getting their hit.
But on a permanent No Fly List. He can take Greyhound to his "pickle ball" matches. What a loser.
All pickleballers are obnoxious dbags. Source: I'm a tennis player. Please let this fad die off quickly.
I always wonder what people think in these kinds of situations. Getting aggressive is going to keep you on the plane? When you're in a hole, stop digging.
There is no one angrier than a man who has done exactly what he is accused of doing.
Wow...I am SO impressed that he's a celebrity pickleball coach with 25,000 followers...NOT! Illegal is illegal...plain and simple. Maybe the flight attendant was a bit aggressive but the passenger is the one who will be banned (hopefully). American can't say anything to the flight attendant because of the union but ask the union to suggest that she "tone it down" a bit. That won't happen but just suggesting!
They should "suspend" the FA... with PAY for a few days. 🙂
They should ban the passenger "permanently". Maybe the ban is removed after a few years if the passenger makes a complete confession, admits his guilt and apologizes to the FA and the airline.
Could be worse... could be an over entitled tennis player. They are all 'look at me' wanna be super d-bags. Love all the tennis courts being converted to pickleball courts.
No need to pray for tennis to fade away... it is!!
I would just ban anyone with more than 100 followers on TikTok from all airlines and everything would suddenly be so much nicer 🙂
Where’s the outrage over his terrible 2-tone bleach hairdo? Crybaby wannabe. Loser from (literally) head-to-vape sucking-toe!
Censorship is the way to go?
The problem isn't the content creator making trash.
Its the idiots who lack critical thinking consuming trash and believe everything you see.
Why not just lock you up and throw away the keys? "and everything would suddenly be so much nicer :)"
All passengers should "beat the living crap" out of TSA, gate agents, or at DMV?
You are part of the problem.
You're just a bully with a bigger muscle using another bully as an excuse to flex your muscles.
See how violence solve problems in Middle East, Eastern Europe or Africa?
"Why he didn't simply comply, I don't know."
Why are you going 1 mph over the speed limit?
Why don't you do a complete 3 second stop at a stop sign?
Jaywalking, littering?
The best for last, did you ever pay use tax on every item taxable?
"Why people can't simply follow the rules boggles the mind."
#hypocrites
Should have been arrested on arrival. Make a point out of an obnoxious idiot like him. Nothing of any value would have been lost, except maybe the pig remnants which went into his boloney sandwich in jail.
So, by your logic if I drive 1 mph over the speed limit I’m a hypocrite if I think someone should be arrested for murder?
#StopGaslighting
ban him. negate his frequent flier miles. establish a shared list of offenders so that other airlines can have access to who are the trouble makers if this is indeed a violation of FAA law let the feds prosecute
can we just have a calm peaceful flight
wait! I want to interview the idiots who hired him to coach them in pickleball.
Birds of a feather perhaps Frank? …. The coach and his clients, “Idiots”, not including you old bean …. 🙂

2025 get a nicotine pouch. They are spit-less, ultra thin and would work if you need nicotine that bad. Guys in the wrong for vaping on a plane. He Fed around and he found out.
Shocked the FAs actually cared. Just the other week, a woman diagonal from me in AA F was vaping the entire flight….from her seat!
She thought she was being sly, but it was easy to see the vape wrapped in her hand/smoke billowing from inside her shirt when she exhaled down it. Plus the cabin smelled like a cotton candy carnival stand. FAs were either dumb or simply didn’t care
See something, say something.
You never put on the FA hat and just complain.
It's easier for them to react on your complain than being proactive on their own.
Many FA actually cares but because of idiots on social media, they don't want to be proactive and end up on TikTok.
Some FA loves to flex their unchecked powers. TikTok makes sure they don't go diverting planes on a power trip.
It works both ways.
Don't underestimated followers. 15k is the new billion.
If a self important crying snowflake can get some chef fired for deeming 15k followers is inadequate, anyone can get canceled for anything.
Welcome to the 21st century witch hunt.
Facts don't matter if it hurts your feelings.
Old me would have said something to the FAs. But having lived in Miami for 15+ years, “see-say” has somehow only ever gotten ME in “trouble”, and not the person breaking the law.
I just stay quiet now in situations like this. It’s not worth being gaslighted into thinking I’m somehow the problem for reporting illegal behavior. Even my condo association cursed me out for reporting lit cigarettes in the stairwell next to my unit.
I’m so glad I was able to give up nicotine a while back. But I will tell you this, that damn vape addiction was the cause of some stupid actions like vaping where I shouldn’t. Hard to explain it but rationality went out the window at times…And I’m definitely not proud of that.
Again, I’m glad to have broken that habit and don’t miss it one bit.
Someone tell this guy 25k followers isn't impressive. Lucky has that many just from all of Tim Dunn's bot accounts!
🙂
“Celebrity pickleball coach, Nguyen name but talks with an effeminate valley girl accent, semen-stained dishevelled hair accents. This obnoxious creature needs to die of shame.
How many people’s feelings do you think you hurt with your regular racial slur posts Eskimo?
“Yuh a one wutliss Eskimo”.
Alonzo, with all due respect: the only reason you have a computer to write on are other people. Who don't punch people. We made laws and societies.
All you care about is muh dik. Click click.
Americans talk loudly and are a general annoyance on flights, too. It stresses real people and increases deadly cortisol.
Please, do not come to Europe. We hate you so much.
