[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reasons I think this one is likely being over dramatized by the compliant is:

1.  the creep's actions are so egregious that there's almost no way they would have been ignored by the flight attendants
2.  the creep's actions are so egregious that it's highly likely that another passenger would have observed the behavior and also brought it to the flight attendants' attention (which brings us back to #1 --&gt; even more reason the flight attendants would have likely done something)
3. the creep's actions are so egregious that it was likely (50%+?) that another male passenger would have intervened. Either offering to change seats, or even developing into a physical altercation.  I'm not good enough of a person, but I'm always amazed at how often men step in to do offer physical protection in these types of situations.

Point being, if the actions ventured anywhere close to what the complaint claims, it makes very little sense that it didn't get caught in one of the above nets.

Horrible to say, I'm also somewhat skeptical of 15 year old girls as barometers of personal safety and comfort, especially ones who self report as having a panic attack based solely on (at that time) verbal harassment. As my kids near teenaged years, I'm shocked by how coddled and emotionally stunted a lot of the 15 year old girls are. Like, we live in a small, wealthy city in the south where I WFH, and my neighbor is a doctor (works 10 minutes from home) with 15 year old twin girls. A couple weeks ago, I got a daytime call from my friend because her girls are home and someone knocked on the door of the house and &quot;they are freaking out&quot; and called their mom at work, who had to call me to make sure everything was okay on the street.  Just because there was a knock on the door. That's absolutely insane developmental stunting, and if they were on a plane with a drunk creep who was asking them gross questions, they would totally over react, cite &quot;trauma&quot; and their dad would 100% go up the chain to get some kind of apology or action.  I don't think all 15 year old girls are this sheltered, but a lot of them apparently are these days. So when the story turns on the girl self-reporting a panic attack, and feeling highly uncomfortable, i could see there being some fragile egg business going on. [/quote]
