In general, my rule is that everyone who is mad at an airline is probably correct.

The airline industry is one where people pay hundreds of dollars to be publicly humiliated — from having a TSA scanner snag your nudes before boarding, to being shoved into a seat that just *barely* fits your legs, to being told that “actually, your flight is delayed and we’re not going to give you any compensation because it’s due to weather.”


In short, getting angry at an airline is entirely justifiable. Still, when you’re in public, you have to channel that anger into something helpful. What you shouldn’t do is make a scene at the airport, which is exactly what these two men did.



In the video, one man can be seen yelling about how “American Airlines have fucked us over!” while another man tries to keep him contained. This doesn’t exactly work, as at one point the screaming man tells a woman in a wheelchair to “fuck off.” Still, throughout the video, the other man pleads with the firecracker to think about their “girls,” who are identified as Shelby and Dolly.


Speaking of identification, it didn’t take too long for the internet to do just that. The Daily Mail revealed that these two men are Dustin Miller and Anthony Thorne, who are 42 and 40 respectively and “live in an apartment building in the popular gay neighborhood of Wilton Manors, Florida.” The Daily Mail also managed to dig up photos of Shelby and Dolly — and wouldn’t you know it, they’re just dogs.


And to think, American Airlines almost made it to the end of the year without another incident.
