This post by
evilpuppy is simply appalling. Worse, much worse, than
United Breaks
Guitars.
I might be 29 years old, I might have colored hair, and I might not be
obviously disabled, but I am a legitimately disabled American
citizen. Your airline had no right to treat me the way it did and your
customer service supervisor was disturbingly rude to me in the face of my
experience. I wasn't being unreasonable, I never swore, and I didn't raise
my voice. I was trying my best to be polite and calm and I expected no
less than the same courtesy in return. The fact that I didn't receive it
and instead was made to feel as though I was just being lazy and
irresponsible is beyond infuriating. I have to deal with Worker's
Compensation and Disability about my age enough, the last thing I expected
or needed was to have to deal with it from your airline when flying is
already a painful enough experience.

Meanwhile the probability that Colleen or I will be flying United anytime
in the forseeable future has just gone from small to negligible.
