- Florida, natch.
Woman has screaming meltdown on her boyfriend at the Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida.
The boyfriend sat in misery as the woman humiliated him in front of travelers.
“You’re a f**king loser, I hope you drop de*d.”
“You dumbf**ker! Because of you. Like literally because of… pic.twitter.com/oaJG9wfuDJ

- British Airways Avios redemptions for LATAM have been devalued by 60% or more
- It looks likely that EU competition authorities approved the very anti-competitive Lufthansa acquisition of ITA Airways (the new Alitalia) as part of a trade for Italy’s support for a second term for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. (HT: Enilria)
- Miami airport can be a miserable place to arrive into from abroad.
- Always wanted to do this tbh
Worst experience flying @AmericanAir EVER. left us stranded waiting for luggage till 2:00 in the morning. Tried to call customer service with no help and eventually had to call the airport to get them to make an announcement for an AA employee to help. Still no one came. pic.twitter.com/svqBId7nJK

Uh…I’ll take “Bikini Girls from Air New Zealand” for 1000 Alex.
The corrupt EU, pretending to care about competition. Of course if an American tech company makes too much money then they unleash arbitrary multi billion dollar fines. I’m so tired of being lectured by these leaches.
@Mantis … Guess what ? The tech companies are the actual leeches .
Boyfriend was attracted to the wrong girlfriend , because he wants to be a fearful mouse .
@Alert. How so? The EU just makes things up as they go along. You really think arbitrarily deciding after the fact that this web browser shouldn’t be included in OS, or this phone should have a different connector, is worth conducting economic warfare against the country that oh by the way has subsidized your defense budget for more than a century? They don’t do this to Chinese companies, strangely.
I wish one company would have the gonads to say FU EU, we ain’t paying you shit, you have no authority over us, we’re not an EU company. I also wish a US POTUS would have the active brain waves to recognize that our companies are being extorted by our “allies” and defend our interests.
Oh, and the dude in the video has no self respect. What a cuck. I’d ditch that crazy bitch right then and there, and never look back. That’s a public violation of respect and trust that can never be atoned for.
The boyfriend should quietly cancel her ticket and proceed with his journey solo.
@Mantis … You are correct about the EU … the best action the UK has taken for a while was bailing out of the EU (Brexit) . The EU even trying to control weights (eliminate pounds and ounces) and miles for distance .
However , these tech companies are leeches in that they sell the consumer harmful junk which rots their brains , and do so gleefully . For example , the generation of young people who literally love their mobile phones , to the expense of being a part of the natural world , and to the expense of rational reasoning . Very irresponsible .
@Mantis – 100% agree (on both envious and impotent Europeans, who literally created NOTHING but Ozempic in the last 50-60 yrs, and dude listening to this crap).
@mantis
‘They don’t do this to Chinese companies, strangely.’
Uh, Huawei and ZTE are or will be banned from several networks in the EU. And several EU countries banned or restricted XIaomi over their Russian presence.
As far as what browser ships with a phone or OS, the FTC bought action against MSFT back in the 90s over bundling the browser with Windows. Hardly new for any regulatory agency concerned about competition and monopolies.
@Gennady
Ever heard of ARM? Just curious .
Strangely, you don’t mention it.
Boyfriend is a complete beta simp.
As soon as the harpy started screeching, he should have walked away, left the airport, and grabbed a hotel room for a day or two and permanently ghosted the shrew. Fly home another day.
Don’t know what’s up with these younger generations’ so-called “men”, letting their women get out of line and then sitting there and taking it.
She sounds like a keeper! : )
