Ladies, has anything like this ever happened to you? How did you react?
I got up, slowly walked down the aisle, a cup of coffee in my hand. When I reached their row, I smiled at my husband and kissed him on the cheek. But as I did… I miscalculated the movement of my hand.
“Oh… I’m so sorry,” I whispered softly, as a drop of hot coffee landed directly on her thigh.
The young woman jumped up as if she’d been burned.
“Are you crazy?!” she shouted so loudly that nearby passengers turned to look.
“These are brand new shorts!”
Still smiling politely, I answered:
“Yes, I noticed the shorts. You’ve been showing them off so enthusiastically the entire flight, it was impossible not to notice. Maybe now you could try sitting a little more decently?”
She huffed, pulled a pair of sweatpants out of her bag, and stormed off to the bathroom to change.
My husband looked at me as if to say, You’re impossible. I sat back down in my seat and, for the first time during the flight, calmly opened a magazine.
