Drunk Passenger Pukes

We were on a dinnertime flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta that was full of business travelers and vacationers coming back with their wallets empty. We were in the bulkhead seats, so we were able to see everyone get on the plane. One of the passengers, a man traveling alone that looked to be in his late 20’s or early 30’s, got on and sat in the one remaining seat in the row opposite ours. He appeared extremely intoxicated, but seemed to be minding his own business. A few minutes later, however, we learned that the man had just plopped down in the first available seat and it wasn’t actually his. The situation became tense as the man became sweaty and agitated, but a flight attendant intervened and ushered the man back to his actual seat (a middle seat). We thought he must have settled down, as we didn’t hear anything else.

We thought wrong. As we were waiting to get off the plane, the flight attendant started chatting with the person whose seat he had tried to take. Apparently, the man was so intoxicated that he vomited into his hands (remember, he was in the middle seat). The passenger sitting next to him called the flight attendant. The flight attendant asked him if he was okay, and if she could get him anything. His response? “No, I’m fine,” and then he ATE HIS VOMIT.
