Bad Lieutenant म्हणाले...: Believe me, white women will look at your phone while you sleep. Which BTW ladies is a firing offense.; ७/११/१७, ९:२६ AM
tim maguire म्हणाले...: What else is she going to do for entertainment on a long flight?; ७/११/१७, ९:२७ AM
tim maguire म्हणाले...: BL, that is a good warning for dating life. But when married, you have no expectation of privacy. He was asking for trouble.; ७/११/१७, ९:२८ AM
I Have Misplaced My Pants म्हणाले...: Once Mr. Pants was on a plane in which somehow a nearby passenger managed to accidentally play a video on his phone which was paired to a speaker in his carry-on. Not only was the cabin treated to the audio of his amateur sex tape, everyone got to witness his wife go apeshit when she realized it was him but not her. First officer came back to talk her down so they didn't have to put down and take her off.; ७/११/१७, ९:३८ AM
John Nowak म्हणाले...: Hope she spends some time in jail for forcing an emergency landing. Otherwise, no sympathy for the guy.; ७/११/१७, ९:३९ AM

Second. All in favor...; ७/११/१७, ९:४९ AM
Bob Ellison म्हणाले...: AFP. No names, few details. Not exactly Encyclopedia Britannica.; ७/११/१७, ९:५२ AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: They deserve each other. I feel very sorry for the kid.; ७/११/१७, ९:५२ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: If I missed a flight connection because a plane had to make an emergency landing to take off a woman making a scene then I would be well and truly pissed.; ७/११/१७, ९:५३ AM
Dude1394 म्हणाले...: Hopefully she was arrested and fined with the cost of the landing as well as all of the time wasted by the other passengers. Sometimes women think they can do any thing they want to do and no one will knock their blocks off.; ७/११/१७, ९:५६ AM
rhhardin म्हणाले...: That's probably two strikes against her now.; ७/११/१७, ९:५८ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: As Miss Manners used to say, to be deceived is the human condition. To read another's mail is despicable.

Update for current technology.

I feel debased if I open commercial mass mailings and junk mail addressed to my husband, if they're from companies with whom we have accounts, and I mistake them for bills I need to pay.; ७/११/१७, १०:१२ AM
Gahrie म्हणाले...: If you are going to have an affair...why would you preserve evidence of it?; ७/११/१७, १०:२८ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: tim maguire: But when married, you have no expectation of privacy.

?!?

I've been married for nigh on to thirty years, and I am entirely ignorant of what's on my husband's phone or his laptop, the content of any personal mail he's ever received (unless he chooses to share it with me), or of the unlocked cabinet where he keeps his personal correspondence. (If the laundry weren't my responsibility, I wouldn't even presume to open his sock drawer.)

It's never crossed my mind that he would ever poke his nose into my stuff, either.; ७/११/१७, १०:३४ AM
I Have Misplaced My Pants म्हणाले...: Yucky behavior all around.

I feel sorry for anyone in a trustless relationship. My ex-husband felt justified going through my computer and reading my private things when I was out of town, and yes he found some things he didn't like, but well that's what happens when your marriage is in the shitter enough to make a fishing expedition seem like a good idea in the first place.; ७/११/१७, १०:३६ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: Guys, guys, guys, the secret to a happy marriage: Samsung Galaxy S8 with retinal scan.; ७/११/१७, १०:५५ AM
Ralph L म्हणाले...: Even non-silicone-sister stewards need Valium misters.

Moral of Pants' story: keep your finger over the stop button when watching porn in public.; ७/११/१७, १०:५८ AM
Martin म्हणाले...: So much for fingerprint security. But that marriage was already in trouble, obviously, and it was only a matter of time.

Throwing a fit that forces the plane to land, though? It cannot have been THAT much of a shock or she wouldn't have gone to the trouble in the first place.

Hopefully there is some way to make her pay, although unless she is VERY rich she won't be able to pay what she really cost the airline and the inconvenience to the other passengers.; ७/११/१७, १०:५९ AM
Caligula म्हणाले...: "As her husband slept, she used his hand to unlock his fingerprint-protected phone."

Well, at least she didn't cut his finger off before using it. Although I'll predict that phone-finger security will shortly morph to two-factor authentication.

Of course, the headline is wrong: she didn't force the crew to divert, the crew chose to do so. Perhaps it was a good decision, perhaps not, but it was their decision, not hers.

In any case, I'll bet she'd be a lot angrier if they'd just dumped her off the plane, and left husband and child on-board.; ७/११/१७, ११:१० AM
Ralph L म्हणाले...: She had an extended, uncontrollabe fit in front of their child? What a nasty piece of work.
No wonder he strayed.; ७/११/१७, ११:५७ AM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: I don't think there's any expectation of privacy in marriage either. I have no idea if my husband has ever looked through my messages, but I wouldn't care. I don't look through his, but I could, and he wouldn't care either.; ७/११/१७, ११:५९ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: Din't chu know all bitches is crazy?; ७/११/१७, १:०८ PM
JaimeRoberto म्हणाले...: At least she didn't have to cut off his finger to get access to the phone.; ७/११/१७, २:५५ PM
Kirk Parker म्हणाले...: Caligula,

Her anger would have been very short-lived, if they had ejected her from the plane at altitude. That is something I'm sure your namesake would have done if it had been available to him.; ७/११/१७, ३:२५ PM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: I know my wife's passcode and she knows mine. Like Freeman and her spouse, she could look through my messages and I could look through hers, but we don't. I can't imagine a marriage where it would be different.; ७/११/१७, ४:१२ PM
cf म्हणाले...: I am with angel-dyne and big mike, hard to imagine tolerating anything less.

deep respect for each others personal privacy is a wholesome trait in a marriage, and a discipline with its own reward.

But clearly, marital courtesy & discipline was not on display here.; ७/११/१७, ६:३० PM
roger म्हणाले...: fun and games children, fun ad games; ७/११/१७, ८:३० PM
walter म्हणाले...: It's all fun and games until someone loses a penis.
I like how the page puts this at end: "Related: This Might Be The Coolest Airport Ever"; ७/११/१७, ९:१३ PM
Leigh म्हणाले...: So a commenter over at the original Yahoo story who goes by "Karen" excoriated the wife, championed multiculturalism, and displayed xer propensity to ethnically stereotype (a/k/a racism) in one fell swoop:

Who pays for cost of the unscheduled stop and what about the impact this stop had on all the other people on that plane? Her rage blinded her to everything but her own needs. Whatever publicity she got is apparently mostly an opportunity for haters to voice the differences between cultures around the world in a way that makes them feel superior. F-ed up situation all around
