Just reading this leaves me outraged. The woman was a dick, plain and simple. But the flight attendant?! The passengers?!

And your boss, Rebecca. Your boss deserves special scorn.

This is so extraordinarily heartbreaking, and not because of the false accusation. Your degradation was so casually accepted. It was almost as if the prevailing thought is “what’s the big deal for you?”

Even more outrageous is that you can’t lose your temper, despite that reckless idiot shrieking up and down the aisle consequence-free. Argh!

I’m sorry this happened to you. I applaud your composure, and hope karma thunderclaps that whole list of sordid characters.
