Maggots on a Plane

Over-reaction... again:

Maggots falling from an overhead bin from a spoiled container of meat forced a US Airways flight to return to the gate so the bin could be cleaned.

A passenger had the container in a carry-on bag and brought it on Monday's flight heading from Atlanta to Charlotte, N.C., said US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher. The pilot announced that they were returning to the gate because of a "minor emergency on board" and the flight attendants told everyone to sit down and be calm, Adamo said.

"I felt like they were crawling all over me because it only takes one maggot to upset your world..."

"You'd better believe it, MAGGOT!"

"And as they're telling us to stay calm and seated, I see a maggot looking back at me and I'm thinking, 'These are anaerobic, flesh-eating larvae that the flight attendants don't have to sit with.'"

"Anaerobic," no less. That's the first word that comes to my mind when I think "maggot." No, really.

"You can buy meat anywhere," Adamo said. "I don't know what special piece of meat was in Atlanta that needed to get to Charlotte, but it affected hundreds, if not thousands ... of passengers, and is a health risk."

There are some people you don't even have to meet in person to know you'll detest them. Ms Adamo is among that number. The person who put unrefrigerated meat in a suitcase was just an idiot, but Ms Adamo is a self-absorbed, irritating windbag.

Anaerobic.
