Don't Go To Sleep on a Plane

<p>Sorry, we fly a lot of long hauls, and this article creeps me out. D is going to start flying a lot in just a year or two, and I can’t stand the thought of this happening to any woman.</p>

<p>While this young woman slept, the passenger next to her was visiting with 'Mary Fivefingers"… </p>

<p>[Sky</a> Talk: Woman files lawsuit against AMR because passenger next to her masturbated while she slept](<a href=“http://startelegram.typepad.com/sky_talk/2008/03/woman-files-law.html]Sky”>http://startelegram.typepad.com/sky_talk/2008/03/woman-files-law.html)</p>

<p>I don’t even know what to tell D when she starts flying by herself. Don’t go to sleep on the plane?</p>

<p>Wow what a loser that guy is. I mean honestly, in public? ***? and how did no one even catch this guy in the act? I mean if the sperm got into that woman’s hair the masturbation must have been visible to the passengers on the row. that’s just disgusting.</p>

<p>anyways i think that’s more the exception than the norm. i mean crazy weird things can happen ANYWHERE. i once read of a guy who kept going to a school library and proceeded to masturbate in front of the computer. That went on for a while too before he was finally banned from the library.</p>

<p>i wouldn’t tell her not to go to sleep during the plane ride. just be aware of your surroundings is all.</p>

</p>

<p>This is exactly how NOT to react to a news story.</p>

<p>lol, i remember once some guy in our public library was looking at porn and the librarians didn’t know what to do. and then my friend got all excited and thought it was hilarious, and leaned over and was like “excuse me sir can you help me with something?” and the guy minimized his screen, and then later went back to looking at porn sites. lmao soo sick.</p>

<p>Well, don’t go to Target either, then. The other day in a Portland Target store, a man was masturbating in an aisle and ejaculated onto a female customer. He has been apprehended.</p>

<p>I think you just need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Weirdos are everywhere. Yes, it’s creepy, for sure, but the likelihood of this happening to you or someone you know is so small.</p>

<p>There are wakkos everywhere, but fortunately, they are rare. No reason to tell anyone not to sleep on a plane because of the story that you read.</p>

<p>my Ds ALWAYS get an aisle seat in a plane…its just smart</p>

8

<p>I wouldn’t consider getting an aisle seat smart- I would consider it comfortable! Planes aren’t exactly isolated, dangerous places.</p>

<p>There is a man who has ridden the express buses for twenty years who has a complicated ritual for masturbating on the buses. He’s been banned from the private buses, slapped and kicked by woman and is very well known, but his compulsion must be very powerful. He got me when I was 9 months pregnant with D2. Still has the same ritual 16 years later.</p>

<p>I’d be more concerned about the possiblity for various errors caused by sleep deprivation after an awake and anxious flight. Many of us need our in flight sleep, esp on long haul flights. I need my window seat to curl up in the corner. Luckily seats are 3 across for the most part, or more, not two. </p>

<p>But this touches on a conversation I had with a young woman today on the importance of being able to spit out a strong NO in the face of inappropriate actions or unwanted attention. Call the flight attendant, store clerk, etc.</p>

<p>Worth a conversation with my Ds to point out yet another odd occurrance to watch for.</p>

<p>Oh good grief, she filed suit?!</p>

<p>How is American Airlines supposed to be held accountable for this? What?—do they have a pervert detector, whereby they can tell that a freak has booked one of their flights and is going to do something disgusting? How were they supposed to know or prevent this from happening?</p>

<p>Yes, the occurrence was upsetting, and disgusting to say the least. But the airline is not at fault.</p>

12

<p>Nah, I think an addendum to the no smoking or cellphones sign that said “or masturbating on female patrons” would suffice :)</p>

<p>Nah, I think an addendum to the no smoking or cellphones sign that said “or masturbating on female patrons” would suffice. </p>

<p>Vyse, Maybe a sign is a good idea. I can just see the flight attendants miming that one while the flight intructions were being given. LOL.</p>

14

<p>You two are terrible! My giggles roused the visiting dog.</p>

15

<p>I have an idea. The door to the restroom could read, Restroom and Masturbatorium.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>They’re not… but AMR has a lot more money than the idiot in question (hence why some bloodsucking 1-800-SUE-ANYBODY-NOW type lawyer names them as the defendant) and they’ll likely just settle out of court rather than pay the legal costs associated with fighting, and likely winning, the case.</p>

<p>As for the original question… there really isn’t anything to worry about. Just keep aware of your surroundings, as one should anyway, but other than that it’s no big deal.</p>

<p>Here’s my CC laugh of the day. Thanks sonssecty!</p>

<p>Eeeewe.
How does someone do that without getting caught? You’d think the flight attendant might have noticed that he changed seats at least, if not what he was doing with his hand…</p>

19

<p>Personally, unless it’s a REALLY long flight, I’d advise any solo traveler not to sleep. Just doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Pickpockets, etc. I sometimes doze a little on a plane, but even that is rare. </p>

<p>Just like walking across campus at night with your ipod blasting, it just isn’t good street sense.</p>

20

<p>Ewwweeee is right. And now I’ll think twice before I use one of the airline blankets too, since I would guess this perv had the <em>decency</em> (haha) to try to hide what he was up to.</p>

<p>Curm-
Your post made me truly LOL! Visions of the demonstration for the seatbelt, the oxygen mask, the cabin door exits and…</p>

<p>As for the masturbatorium, while most already know it as the “mile high club” lounge, this provides a much classier-sounding name. Good thing they are unisex bathrooms, and don’t label the bathrooms “Jack” and “Jill”, eh? ;)</p>

<p>*** Edit** Afterthought-- wasn’t there a scene in “Something about Mary” that was similar, with respect to the in-the-hair component? Maybe the film studio should sue for copyright infringement, while the lawyers are at it…</p>
