We’ve all been there. Stuck behind a seriously annoying, loud and drunk fellow passenger on a long flight.
This was the fate that befell Ryan Case, a director and editor on the ABC sitcom Modern Family, who live-tweeted her ordeal sitting behind a drunk and obstreperous lady by the name of Nadia on the red-eye from New York to Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old TV executive began her commentary on the nightmare flight by calling her co-passenger “the worst person in the world.” She went on to tweet 64 times on the subject of her nightmare fellow traveler.
Here are the edited highlights:
Sitting behind the worst person in the world.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She was watching Hawaii 5.0 so loudly in her earphones that her seat mate asked her to turn it down. Worst move he ever made.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She apologized in the loudest, drunkest voice ever "SORRY ITS MY 1ST TIME NOT IN 1ST CLASS" & hasn't stopped talking since.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014I want to use mind control to make the flight attendant put tranquilizers in the double rum & coke she just ordered.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She keeps saying "I know David Guetta" in a prideful way.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014I'm tweeting this so one of you will fund my defense team at my eventual murder trial.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014After saying "MY ARAB FRIENDS" so many times she slurred "is that SO racist?" then kept on saying it
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014It baffles her that her seat mate doesn't drink. She's GRILLING him about it and sloshing her drink at him and I think trying to bone him
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She said "I have a very racist view of all Middle East." She's talking to a middle Eastern man, also mocking his accent.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014After awkward silence following a particularly racist comment miraculously came, "anyways am I talking your ear off?" & trying to bone again
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She just went to the bathroom. My greatest hope is she passes out in there for the duration of the flight.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014I can hear her trying to beg the flight attendant in back for something, undoubtedly world peace. I'm kidding it's vodka.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She just returned with beer and made her seat mates listen to a toast. She calls them "buddy" now.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014During her time in the bathroom, she forgot if her seat mate drinks or not. Again.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She's listing all the things she wouldn't be allowed to do in her seat mate's country. She should go there if the list includes speaking.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014The guy in front of her just shouted at her. He's a true hero.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She called his wife a bitch. I don't think I'll have to kill her.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014She's been asked to stop speaking
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014Police are meeting the aircraft.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014The amount of empty Titos vodka bottles under her seat was CHILLING.
