Can I Have A Window Seat In The Non-Masturbating Section?

Posted by Katie Halper

A 21-year old woman is suing American Airlines for failing to protect her from involuntarily and unknowingly joining the mile high club. Apparently as the woman slept during her flight from LA to Dallas, she got more than just beauty sleep. 20 minutes before the flight landed, the woman woke up to discover that a man had moved into the seat next to her, was looking at her, and masturbating. The woman responded by turning towards the window and nervously running her fingers through her hair when, in a There's Something About Mary moment (no, not the franks and beans one), she realized she had “a substantial amount of an extremely sticky substance in her hair,” -- and it wasn't an anti-frizz hair product. The woman then cried and unsuccessfully attempted to get the attention of the flight attendants. According to the law suit, "a passenger in the row in front of the woman comforted her and verified the semen in her hair."  This sounds traumatic, and nobody wants to blame the victim. But it seems like the American Airlines flight attendants acted appropriately-- once the plane landed, they notified the airport police and the man was arrested. And anyone who has ever needed an extra blanket knows how hard it is to get the attention of a flight attendant.  But we also know the old adage, "if at first you don't succeed in getting the attention of a flight attendant to report being masturbated on, dust yourself off and try again, even if that means getting out of your seat while the fastened seat belt sign is on."

What is WRONG with these people? Didn't she realize that she had the perfect opportunity to embarrass this perv? I mean, he was a CAPTIVE in an airplane! Stand up! Shout! Point! Make some noise! In addition, it is probably some kind of federal crime, given that it happened on a plane.

yah - but she was EMBARRASSED!

I'm not into "blaming the victim"

As much as I think I'd punch (or STAB)

this guy with my fork if I were next to him

or scream at him - I dunno - if he was

creepy - who knows what you'd really do

in that type of situation?

I'm just glad it wasn't me.

Cuz I might be in JAIL for what I'd do

in that situation!

sheeeeeeesh - what's wrong with HIM

is the BETTER Question to be asked.

While an amusing article, it was hard to get past your spelling and grammatical errors. Plain...really?

while an amusing comment from anon, it was hard to get past his syntactical errors. Article... really? this coming from someone purporting to criticize a blog POST. and, yes, i'm shamefully foregoing capitalization all over the place in this comment.

Was this an American Airlines flight or an Air America flight?  They're both named in the article.
