Benefactor of a malicious compliance got me a first class upgrade
Yes I know people have legitimate allergies. Dont nit pick this story, the woman may have had allergies, but they only popped up when it was convenient. ) This was in 2000. I was traveling with my service dog and my family. We had seats in the back of the plane.
At the check in, entitled business class ticket holder <PERSON> spotted my service dog, went up to the desk, and demanded we be bumped off the flight because she was " highly allergic" to dogs. She began wheezing, sneezing and gasping on cue. ( Side note: we had been sitting within 2 feet of her for over an hour. My dog was under my chair, as he was trained to do. She spotted him when he came out to get water).
The csr stated he would be happy to bump HER to a later flight. 119
<PERSON> pitched a fit ( forgetting she needed to cough, wheeze and sneeze). <PERSON> requested a supervisor. Supervisor came, listened to her, and stated that if she wanted to stay on this flight, they would do everything in thier power to move the seating so that my dog was as far away from her and her family as possible. She, happily agreed.
She and her family got moved to the back row. My family got put in the empty first class, where my dog got his own seat. ( yes, they covered the seat with a blanket and I put my coat on it as well to keep fur off. ) Edit- His photo is on my profile, ty to those helping me to do this. His name is Ch S&J Watergate <PERSON>. Call name " <PERSON>". He passed in 2005.) 406
