My Seatmate Throws A Hissy Fit Over His First Class Breakfast

Matthew Klint Posted onDecember 2, 2021December 2, 2021 83 Comments

This morning I flew from Los Angeles to Denver on United Airlines in first class. Breakfast was served onboard. When my seatmate wound up with his second choice, he threw a hissy fit for the ages.

A Hissy Fit Over Breakfast On United Airlines

I knew this guy would be trouble when I boarded the flight. I had the window seat and he had the aisle seat. On United’s Boeing 737 MAX 9, the first class seats feature underseat storage divided into three areas, with shared space between seats.

This man had taken a Larry Craig stance and his left foot was occupying the entire shared space area. It remained there the entire flight. I just chuckled to myself and said nothing.

We took off and breakfast orders were taken. Both of us ordered eggs (the choice was between egg whites or a waffle). After taking orders, the flight attendant returned to the man and apologized that there were not enough eggs. He was offered the waffle instead.

You could almost see the steam rising from the man’s head…

He turned red, slammed down his tray table, and proceeded to lecture the flight attendant:

“I hate this airline. Why can’t you load enough breakfasts for everyone?! You know I gave up on United after the pilot’s strike. Now after all these years I decided to come back and look how you treat me. Nothing has changed! This is [expletive]! I’m never going to fly United again!”

[editor’s note – folks, the pilot’s strike was in 1985…and if flight attendants only had a dollar for every time they heard that threat they could retire.]

The flight attendant could not have handled the matter better, offering empathy and a sincere apology. When the man turned down the waffle, the flight attendant asked if he could bring him some fruit. The man screamed:

“No! No! No! I’m diabetic!”

Coffee? Nope. He said, “I’ll just have water.” When the flight attendant brought it over, he downed it in seconds like a college drinking game and hastily handed it back to the flight attendant, who was serving breakfast to the passengers in the row behind.

Look, if you read this blog you know I care about in-flight meals a lot. I hate to miss out on my first choice too. But it’s just an airline meal on a flight under two hours….you were given other options.

Now there is room for criticism for United too, here. United has begun to roll out its advance-ordering tool for meals on flights over 1,500 miles but it needs to roll this out systemwide. If passengers can pre-order the meal choice they want, they will not be set up for disappointment onboard.

For the record, the eggs were delicious.

CONCLUSION

It was a sad spectacle to see a middle-aged man throw a hissy fit over an airline breakfast. Kudos to the flight attendant for handling the matter so professionally. Nevertheless, perhaps United can use this as a learning moment: give passengers the option to pre-order meals on all flights in which meals are offered.

          It’s a fine line, though, right? Because we’re told to abstain from eating meat sacrificed to idols or drinking alcohol if it causes our brother to stumble…but if a brother becomes so outlandish in his demands, I’m not sure peace is the highest aim. Maybe the best thing I could have done was told him his conduct was really churlish (Proverbs 12:1).

    Matthew, what percentage or dollar value do you place on the meal component of the first class flying experience?
    Gary wrote over the weekend about making the meal a la carte pricing, to improve the quality of the food served. I asked the same question there, but too late…everyone had moved on!
    Personally, I don’t value the food onboard in domestic/lower 48 first at much beyond $20 or so, placing much higher value on the seat, IFE, beverage selection, earlier boarding, etc. The food? I’ll eat in a lounge, hopefully the airport I’m at has options that my status or cards will allow entry.
    What do you say?

    1. Was “Untied Airlines” in the first sentence merely a typo?

    2. In the 1980s my company flew us first class and a co-worker and I flew a number of times SFO-ORD-ROC on American. On the third trip back east my co-worker was in the last row (right behind me) and I heard the flight attendant apologize saying that not enough first class breakfasts had been provisioned. My co-worker was known for having a slight temper and I was just waiting to hear what was going to happen when th\ise voice boomed out “then steal something from steerage.”

    Some type of breakfast was provided.

    • Sexy_kitten7 Reply
      December 2, 2021 at 10:53 pm

      No one is suggesting UA provision 200%. But they could at least get the ratios closer to demand or just give the extras to the crew. AFAIK, pax and crew meals are separate and cannot be substituted.

      I recently flew domestic first and was only given the option of waffle. It was delicious (but much too sweet). Now I’m wondering if there were eggs and the FA knew they’d run out (I was in the 3rd row of a 777 for heaven’s sake).

      UA has always bungled the ratios IMO. E.g. 12 veg salads vs 8 burgers. With that being said, apparently AA wasn’t provisioning enough veg options. On flights to India! Does it really take a rocket scientist to know that more people like/want/need eggs than waffles? SMH.

    If it were me, I would have switched to the waffle. Not so much to accommodate your seatmate, but to make the flight easier for the FA. I’ve taken the “other” choice many times over the years when I could help. To me, it’s just airline food. YMMV.

    Wish I was sitting next to him. I would have politely asked the flight attendant to kindly give my eggs to him and switched. And then when he was eating asked him to kindly quit flying united as I would appreciate sitting next to an adult that acted like one. And quietly go back to my waffle. What an ass.

Tell me what is good about that. And yes, I flew many times prior the pandemic on international business class flights (all US airlines).

    He was just a spoiled brat of a man. As a diabetic, I know that diabetics can eat anything in moderation. Looking at the fruit bowl offered, he could have had fruit (and the blueberries would have been especially good for his blood glucose levels). Even the waffle, which would be high in carbohydrates, could have been eaten by him provided he would use the syrup in moderation. But clearly, moderation with regard to anything is not in that gentleman’s skill set. And a good walk at his destination would help manage his glucose levels!

      Other people smarter than me (OK, they fly more often!) refer to the phenomenon as “FEBO.”

      Front – Even
      Back – Odd

      Even numbered flight number? FA starts serving from the front
      Odd numbered flight number? FA serves from the back

      Or so we’ve been trained to expect our meal. Which is why wifey and I sit in row 2-3-4 whenever possible, that way FEBO rules, which may or may not be a thing, may not impact us so much. As always, YMMV

          Had recent experience on AA in first (MIA-SFO) where they served starting in the back, and told everyone “we have two choices but you really shouldn’t select the second one”. Sure enough by middle of row 3 they were out of the first choice. Being in row 2, we had one choice: a literally frozen rock solid beef and quinoa dish. In a plastic container so the FA could not heat it to thaw it. Heard from another FA later that our experience was not unique – they had had the frozen rock solid beef/quinoa on 2 other flights out of MIA. Unlike UA, AA didn’t have the buy-on-board boxes from coach to offer. Having flown UA and AA in first a few times in last couple months, can’t say anything but bad things about AA.

        December 3, 2021 at 11:33 pm

        UA (and I think others) prioritize as follows:
        1) high elites
        2) other revenue pax
        3) nonrevs

        Over the years I’ve found FAs are very diligent about this. They’re supposed to take requests back to front and prioritize later but they sometimes bounce around the cabin. Probably easier to use up all your eggs (literally) so you can stop giving choices! So even it if appears the FA is going back to front, they are not actually giving preference in that order. Although for category 2, I guess it is first come first served. And on UA, I’ve never seen FAs start in the back for drink or meal service. One reason I like row 2: underseat storage, 1st in line for drinks

        • Observant Reply
          December 5, 2021 at 7:35 pm

          To clarify on UA:

          GS
          1K
          Rest of revenues (no other elites get preference)
          Nonrevs
          ALL orders are supposed to be taken front to back, asking for first and alternate choice if there’s more than two choices. Then the FA is supposed to work out the selctions in the galley, out of view. If you’ve pre-ordered, your selection should be secure and not part of the regular meal count. Plain and simple.

    I love those waffles. I think they’re one of the best meals United has ever offered. That said, I almost always order the eggs as my first choice. The waffles would make a fantastic dessert or afternoon snack, but they tend to make me a little sick early in the morning since they’re so deliciously sweet. United has increased the number of eggs lately, but they haven’t increased it nearly enough. I think they went from 60% waffles to 60% eggs, but they need to make it about 70-80% eggs.

    You could have given up your eggs, but chances are, your seatmate wasn’t next on the list in terms of status and seating to receive the eggs.

    My first job out of high school was working in the reservations department of Ansett Australia. In the 4 years that I worked there, I have to laugh now at how many calls were from “middle aged men having a hissy fit” over the slightest detail. I came to the conclusion very early on, that many business men in Australia thought themselves above everybody else on the flight just because they were traveling by air. I can accept now that I’m older that there may have been some people who had a genuine reason to be irate over an issue, such as a cancelled or delayed flight. But there were many others who simply enjoyed being given an opportunity to whine about the most trivial of issues. Yet back then in Australia, there were only two domestic airlines in Australia. So when they brought out the “I’m never flying Ansett Australia ever again”, we all knew that they would fly Australian Airlines (later to become Qantas) only until the same threats to them no longer worked and they were back in our airline cabins. Ain’t karma a bitch?

    If he is a diabetic, and acted like this, he likely had high blood sugar. There eggs were likely a salvation. There waffles would forget spoke his sugars. He was probably scared and the way he behaved was most likely uncontrollable.

    It sucks to be a diabetic. It’s why diabetes is covered in the ads law.

    Having said that, nobody should be a dick.

    I was on a ORD-SFO flight ten years ago this month in F. Six p.m. or so, quintessential long haul dinner flight (at least in F). Completely full, of course, and lots of hungry guys. I could tell the flight attendant didn’t like where this was going. She went through the cabin, asking people what they wanted based on their Mileage Plus status.

    I turned out I was at the bottom of the pecking order. She came to me and said, “Honey, you ain’t got enough stars next to your name. You’re getting the lasagna.”

    I don’t think I stopped laughing for the next 4 hours.

    Rolling out advance ordering systemwide is not a bulletproof solution. Anyone who gets upgraded will most likely not be able to participate. So there will always be a danger of flights running out of meals in Biz Class…

    As the spouse of a diabetic person, keeping your blood sugar at a manageable level at all time is paramount. Before anyone judges this man too harshly, no one here knows what kind of day this man was having. Perhaps he had to rush to get to the airport and didn’t have the time to get something healthy? Perhaps he had a tight connection when the plane landed and might not have time to get something? OTOH, it doesn’t give this guy an excuse to be a jerk, and he should have some snack options in his carryon for just such a contingency.

    As Matthew mentions, UA has been slowly – slowly(!) – rolling out pre-orders. They should have done this a LONG time ago! Pre-pandemic, I used to take UA in F pretty frequently (most of the time paid and not an upgrade), and this was when they were trying their disastrous Indian food experiment. I didn’t want it. Nobody else in F wanted it. the FAs I asked all said nobody wanted it. It got to the point where I asked the FA upon boarding that I’d like whatever the other food option is besides the Indian food. Pre-ordering makes so much sense. You get what you want (hopefully!), FAs don’t have to deal with disappointing pax, and the food that nobody wants to begin with doesn’t go to waste.

      Correction – meant to say, “As the spouse of a diabetic person, I’m acutely aware of why keeping your blood sugar at a manageable level at all times is paramount.”

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from I Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from Instagram ahead of the birth of my first child. Goodness, how time flies. While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
