Chick Bites Another Girl's Ass Over Dispute Over Space On Flight To JFK
Gothamist – A tiara-wearing Manhattan art curator on a flight from Istanbul to JFK tried to bite a fellow passenger who objected to her spreading out across several seats, federal officials said. Stacey Engman, 38, a National Arts Club member, was nearly resting her head in the lap of the other passenger on the Turkish Airlines flight when the woman finally had enough and objected, Brooklyn court papers state. “Engman was … wearing a tiara and told anyone who would listen she had been on a yacht for five days,” according to court papers. After the fellow passenger bristled, Engman began to raise and lower the adjustable armrest into the woman’s leg before launching into a stream of insults. As their conflict escalated, Engman allegedly called Tyler “ugly,” ordered her to “move her fat ass,” and repeatedly declared, “Fuck you.”When the other woman told her to cool it and turned away, Engman bit her on the backside, according to a criminal complaint. But after she summoned the flight attendant to tell her what happened, Engman allegedly pretended to be asleep and could not be awoken. A Port Authority officer spoke to a witness who said Engman “was aggressive from the beginning of the flight,” according to a complaint. The victim declined medical attention after EMTs saw her skin wasn’t broken.
Never thought I’d be on this blog taking the side of some bougie bitch in a tiara wreaking havoc on an airplane, but here we are. I dont condone ranting and raving about your vacation on your yacht to everyone within ear shot. I dont condone wearing tiaras in public. And I cant condone resting your head on a strangers lap on a plane.
But what I can get behind is the eternal struggle between strangers for comfort and space on an airplane. That is a battle as old as time itself. Its right up there with the silent struggle that occurs when you’re out at a bar and jockeying with strangers for the attention of the bartender. These are constant and eternal battles that will go on forever and ever. One of my proudest and most storied moments on this blog was the 7 hour arm rest battle from 2011. So I can completely understand this type of animosity. Sometimes, when you find yourself in these situations, you forget your manners. You forget to behave like an adult. You get petty. You get mean. Sometimes you might even bite a chick on the ass. But its all in the name of your God given right to fight for comfort on an airplane. If you’re gonna be the type to cry about a little nibble on the ass, maybe you should have just surrendered and given Sarah Jessica Parker here more space. Plus it didnt even break the skin. Grow up, lady. You lost this battle for leg room and arm rests and you’re salty about it.

PS – Going back and reading that blog about the arm rests with the other posts it linked to about my trip to Vegas was straight up time traveling. Completely different life. Come a long way since reader emails about threesomes in Vegas.
