View Full Version : being pretty is a curse

this is a great story. i was laughing my ass off
Long ago, when I was deep into the ugly duckling phase of my teen years, my mom would remind me that “beauty is only skin deep” and suggest I focus on being smart and nice instead.
Sort of a mixed message, sure, but definitely not the “just stand there, look pretty and stamp your feet if you want something” instructions Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams seem to have received.
Police were called in to escort these two 18-year-olds off a Tampa-to-Los Angeles flight operated by Southwest Airlines this past Valentine's Day. The duo had caused an in-flight disruption. And these days, when that happens, airlines and law enforcement officials don't mess around.
What caused the ruckus? Well, it seems that first Swedberg felt sorely dissed by not being served water before take-off and then getting skipped over during the in-flight beverage service. Then Williams needed to use the lavatory, but found it occupied. Either she really had to go, or she's not accustomed to having to wait — regardless, witnesses say she banged on the door and then got into a heated exchange with the passenger who finally emerged from the bathroom.
Southwest Airlines spokesperson Beth Harbin says the police were called in to meet the flight in Los Angeles because “the girls were verbally abusive to another customer ... using profanities ... and getting in his face.”
Airplanes, especially full 737s, are very contained spaces, Harbin emphasized, and situations like this capture everyone's attention. “You cannot let an incident elevate in that environment. Flight attendants are asked to contain and calm situations as quickly as they can. But at 30,000 feet we don't have the opportunity to just ask someone to leave.”
Although it sounds like that would have been an appealing option.
The young women have a different take on the story — one they were all too happy to share with a local TV station in Tampa Bay. As the camera panned up her legs, past her brightly manicured nails and off-the-shoulder blouse, Nisreen Swedberg calmly explained how unfairly she'd been treated, how she didn't feel as if she'd done anything wrong and that she was surely singled out “based on my looks.” On the phone, Swedberg's friend, Sarah Williams, told the TV reporter, “I think they were just discriminating against [us] because we were young, decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us — except us.”
Get a clue
Ladies, it wasn't that you were “too pretty to fly.” You were too rude. And, sadly, stereotypically clueless. However, you're not alone. There are plenty of other travelers — novice and experienced, pretty and not so pretty — who sometimes forget their manners. So here are a few very simple tips to keep in mind.

Oh if I were on the plane, I would gladly took some turds out of the toilet and slap them on their face, and make sure each of two *****es would get a big plenty chunk.
Who gives a sh!t what they look like.

have you not been to the malls. fat chicks with there bellys hanging out. schools have classes now that teach them to be accepting of everyone. kids are aloud to play in games and they get medals cause they have to play and have to have positive reinforcment. we all want our kids to be accepted. we dont want them to be picked on or told they are not good enough. well we got what we want . kids that think they are better then they are and have no concept of self awareness.
maybe if that fatty was called fatty. maybe if that kid that couldnt hit the ball was kept out of the games. maybe these kids would have a better understanding of there worth and what a concept of reality is.

Thank God my parents were apparently peeing in the gene pool. I'm much happier being intimidatingly intelligent and witty than pretty.

QFT.
How things have changed. Long gone are the days when one kid would punch another in the face, a teacher would pull them apart and that was that. Nowadays, one kid postures that another has slighted him, however trivially, gets into a mindset that he actually was slighted, and now you've got one or more dead kids.

One of my secretaries just turned 41 and she is absolutely gorgeous and just the sweetest person. I remember we were putting in a new building in the back for digital x-ray processing and I walked in to get a measurement on something and she was hanging sheetrock. Somehow, being sweaty made her even sexier.
I walked away muttering "I'm a married spud. I'm a married spud. I'm a married spud."

eew those girls aren't even pretty
It's all about the settlement. Southwest already had one lawsuit against them for a woman being dressed "too sexy". These chicks were jerks, a lawyer got to them and told them to get their lawsuit together.
We now have two sets of profiling on airplanes: Muslim-looking men and ditzy sorority girls.

I truly know their pain. I mean, I'm pretty good looking, and it's hard to be taken seriously when people only think you're pretty. I mean, I'm more than just a pretty face, I'm smart, intelligent, and dammit, people like me.
Anyone have a spare donut?

I hate to say it, but if a few words on the computer screen send you to get snacky cakes, then you lack the willpower of a diet.
While you're up, will get me a donut?

Wow I can't believe no one stands up for the rights of pretty people anymore! If I were on the plane I would've been like:
"What the hell were you thinking going to the bathroom when this marginally retarded, pretty looking girl had to go? Your bladder needs to know it's place in this world! Word!"
Yeah... that would've solved the problem right there.
these 2 retards are gonna be on dr phil tomorrow. should be interesting
