Dear Mr. 5C

Dear Mr. 5C,
I wanted to congratulate you on your impressive fit-throwing skills on last night's flight. While not particularly volcanic or emotive, your complaining and pouting would put the most obnoxious two-year old to shame. And what set you off was ridiculous. Seriously.

Sir, as you let all those within earshot know in the First Class cabin, you used two of your mileage certificates to upgrade (which on a flight of less than two hours on a 757, Economy Plus is a better bet) and you were somehow expecting filet mignon and Baked Alaska? Sir, when was the last time you were on a US airline? And may I also point out, to expect a full meal on a flight operating several hours after the dinner hour is, well, just silly. Silly also describes your demands of the Purser (who by the way was one of the best Pursers I've flown with in a very long time) for her to provide you a written letter that it was awful to offer nothing to eat on the flight. FYI, sir, it's not like she was holding the good stuff back. That galley had a whole lot of nothing in it, other than the "premium" version of the Fiesta Snacks that you were offered. Good luck in your quest to get your upgrade certificates back and sure, demand your money back. Dare to dream, sir, dare to dream.

Signed,
A Fellow Flyer

PS - Here's an image of the "snack" that set it all off:
