    I think any poop-bandit is an idiot. I don't care what the driver did. Fuckin' gross.


    The cyclist was last seen wearing a brown sweater

    guy's gotta wipe.

    No I am sorry, you don't apologize for this kind of crap.  You named your daughter abcde for god sakes.  What is her middle name, fghij?
    https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/30/us/abcde-southwest-apologizes-scli-intl/index.html

    Girl called Abcde 'mocked by Southwest Airlines staff'

    Southwest Airlines has apologized after a mother claimed its staff mocked her five-year-old daughter, called Abcde, over her name. 

    A gate agent laughed at the name -- pronounced 'Ab-si-dee' -- and posted a picture of her boarding pass online, the girl's mother, Traci Redford, alleged. 
    "The gate agent started laughing, pointing at me and my daughter, talking to other employees. So I turned around and said, 'Hey, if I can hear you, my daughter can hear you, so I'd appreciate if you'd just stop,'" Redford told ABC News.
    The incident allegedly took place at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, as the mother and daughter boarded a flight to El Paso, Texas.
      She added that she later found out the picture of her daughter's boarding pass had been posted to Facebook.
        A spokesman for the airline offered a "sincere apology to the family" in a statement emailed to CNN. "We take great pride in extending our Southwest Hospitality to all of our Customers, which includes living by the Golden Rule and treating every individual with respect, in person or online," he added.
        "We have followed up with the Employee involved, and while we do not disclose personnel actions publicly, we are using this as an opportunity to reinforce our policies and emphasize our expectations for all Employees," the spokesman said.

        Everyone is wrong in that story, lol. Of course the airlines worker shouldn't be taking photos of passengers' bordering passes and posting them online. That is blatantly, obviously wrong and unprofessional at best. It's just as wrong to make fun of a little child's name right in front of the child. Wtf was wrong with that Southwest employee???
        The mother is obviously also a fool, since only a fool would name their kid that, spelled that way. All she did was make her kid's life more difficult. However, I do think the mom was right in complaining about the treatment she and her kid got from the airline worker. I think that worker should be fired, frankly.

        The employees should have definitely been more professional but for christs sake, ABCDE?!?!

        Yeah, it's dumb, but it seriously isn't the most important issue in this story. Not even close.

        Yeah, the staffer was far more in the wrong here. The world is full of names that look weird or silly to us but are completely culturally appropriate. People had better get used to that. Just because someone isn’t named Bill or Sarah doesn’t mean that gives you license to publicly make fun of anyone, especially a child. Snicker privately if you wish to but otherwise just do your damn job and treat each customer with respect. Otherwise they’re not going to be your customer anymore.

        Totally! (although to be fair, this was just some white American lady who apparently thought it would be "interesting" to name her kid the first 5 letters of the alphabet, not a culturally appropriate name .... I mean, okay, maybe now inventing dumb names is kind of a part of American culture!)

        This is the idiot thread. Naming your kid the first five letters of the alphabet In Order to be unique is idiotic.

        Holy fuck, you're just a shit disturber, eh? Do you really need me to answer that? Because I know you know that I meant it's a white American aka not an immigrant American with a non-American culture, nor a minority with a possible distinct minority culture. She is a plain old white American lady.
