His guardians swiftly, but not very passionately apologized but I couldn't resist responding "Well, kids only repeat what they hear on a daily basis..."

The captain was a lot more pissed than I was, and was about to kick them off, but I convinced him that the best revenge was to leave them on let them stew for the 90 minute flight and then stand in the doorway proudly smiling as they deplaned.

Thats was and is the best way to handle situations like that. I wouldn't give someone the satisfaction by getting angry over some crap like that.


I agree. Even though I am just an instructor, I have heard all sorts of crazy talk. I've even had one person with the nerve to tell me that I am an uppity n***** trying to rise above my station in life. No sense in getting angry.

Like Chris Rock says, "whomever you hate will end up in your family."
