Oddity

The Resume

    (circa 1972- )
    Resides in Queens, New York
    Flight attendant for JetBlue Airlines
    Made headlines by quitting his job after he blared obscenities at one passenger using the plane intercom then activating the plane's inflatable emergency chute to slide out

Why he might be annoying:

    He is divorced.
    The heart of the dispute was an over sized bag the passenger was carrying.
    There were rumors that when the cops came knocking on his door, he was having sex with his boyfriend.
    Before sliding down the emergency chute, he took beer bottles from the refreshment cart.
    The incident rapidly turned him into a celebrity.
    His obscenity laced verbatim went as follows: 'To the fucking asshole who told me to fuck off, it's been a good 28 years. I've had it.'
    He was labeled a 'Bag Nazi.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His Facebook fan page has over 130,000 members as of mid-August 2010.
    He became a hero to disgruntled workers world wide.
    One fan made a tribute video to him posted on YouTube.
    At the time of the infamous incident, job stress combined with his caring for an ill mother caught up with him.
    He didn't know how famous he became until after he left jail on a $2500 bail.
    The incident brought attention to how stressful a flight attendant's job is.
    He probably had one fun ride down the chute.
    He is appreciative to his supporters.
