Well that’s awkward…

A furious airline passenger was left with enough egg on his face to make an omelet after his complaint left him a target on social media this week.

JP McNeiland had taken to Facebook to air his anger after a flight attendant allegedly refused to lift his bag – however instead of support he received more than 1,000 comments of abuse.

Branded a ‘total jerk’ by an airline customer (a comment which received 4,315 likes), the business-class flyer was shunned over and over again in a series of spiteful posts.

Here’s a selection of the best things people had to say about it

‘Total Jerk’

Linda Tiboni said: ‘Shame on you buster…if you knew you couldn’t lift your bag you should have checked it. You are a total jerk for taking her picture. Shame, shame, shame!’

‘Creepy and cowardly’

Alexa Gray-McCannon said: ‘You’re really ridiculous, you know that? You couldn’t handle the situation like an adult and ask for her name, so you took the creepy, cowardly way out and snuck a picture of her and posted it without her permission.’

‘Not today JP, not today’

Lucie Jayne Llewellyn said: ‘Not today JP not today. Bet you managed to get it down as quick as you could when the belt sign was off and you wanted off the plane.’

‘Big baby’

Gina Knowles said: ‘As a flight attendant we are instructed to not do this as it can cause injury to us and if we are out of work we don’t get paid! Big baby!’

‘Not a slave’

Richard Cercone said: ‘You’re a man, lift your own bag. Why would you ask a lady to lift your bag? She isn’t your slave, or waiter.’

‘Big boy panties’

Laura McCafferty said: ‘Get over yourself. I’m physically limited and I don’t expect the flight attendants to lift my bags, I check them or make sure they fit under the seat. Grow up and put on your big boy panties!’

‘Quit acting like a stalker’

The harshest of the bunch however came from a flight attendant….

Luz Bary said: ‘You had surgery and you’re too weak to lift it? Check it tough guy. Understood? Quit taking pics of flight attendants and acting like a stalker.’

Ouch!
