Passenger's rant on Southwest's FB page backfires

Mon May 28, 2018 2:35 pm

So I figured this one was interesting. Some lady complained on WN's Facebook page after being denied boarding because she was too late. She readily admits she was late too, but still somehow it's Southwest's fault.

What's remarkable? In this day and age where everyone always blames the airline, people blame the passenger instead, en masse. The post has 2100 replies so far, of which NONE are in support of the passenger :white:

Enjoy reading the comments

Everyone loves some internet harassment under the guise of justice.

Lets find out where she works and get her fired!!!

That would feel really good.

That's not how this works! That's not how any of this works!

I clicked on the link and it said the page does not exist. I can just imagine, though. Wasn't there a complaint on some company's FB page about a product that had not been released yet?

I'm going out on a limb and say this person deleted her post?

Look that is what is wrong with the internet. By all means, vigorously denounce her for her silliness and blame shifting.

However, the line has to be drawn at calling her at home/work, trying to get her fired, etc.

Mob justice that imperils a persons livelihood is unacceptable. For example, I disagree with 99% of what you believe, and your politics. But no way would i take the time, effort, and malignant action to cause you to suffer at work, home or other private areas of your life.

Chill, Tex, chill. CC was joking. Most likely.
