Speak about a ruff ride.
Man’s best friend ended up being one woman’s worst nightmare on a Delta Airlines flight on Monday, during which the 50-pound pooch “blemished” her belongings while its owner illegally puffed an e-cigarette.
“So … I’m next to a [white] girl who just asked if I might hand over my seat for her pit bull. After I got to my seat, she had the pitbull in my seat,” barked a Twitter user often called @Just_Juanie, 28, from Los Angeles, in a trending series of tweets.
“Now she’s acting like I’m unreasonable,” Juanie continued. “All for emotional support animals.”
Within the viral venting thread, which has fetched over 4.7 million Twitter views, TV author Juanie explained that the unnamed pet owner — who sat in the center seat between her and one other female passenger — inconveniently permitted her hulking hound to roam the aircraft throughout their greater than 4-hour trip.
“The girl now stands up in her seat and within the aisle seat to get out and in of her row so her dog can walk on the bottom since they each can’t walk out of the row normally,” wrote Juanie. “That is crap @Delta.”
Delta Airlines didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.
Nevertheless, per its website, only, “small dogs, cats and household birds can travel within the cabin for a one-way fee, collected at check-in. They need to give you the chance to slot in a small, ventilated pet carrier that matches under the seat in front of you.”
The positioning adds, “Your pet must remain contained in the kennel (with door secured) while in a Delta boarding area (during boarding and deplaning), a Delta airport lounge and while on board the aircraft.”
Juanie’s flight mate will need to have missed the principles.
Nevertheless, despite her apparent frustration with the four-legged fur ball and his troublesome human, she made it clear that she held the airline accountable for the hellish experience.
“I’ll proceed to reiterate that the dog has been wonderful and non-problematic,” she tweeted.
“It isn’t the dog’s fault. Genuinely upset that this was allowed by @Delta because so far as I’m concerned it [their] fault,” the peeved passenger woofed. “Me and the lady on the aisle now have dog hair on us. It’s just an excessive amount of.”
A social media representative on Delta’s verified Twitter account publicly contacted Juanie, saying, partially, “I’m sorry to listen to of this. This isn’t allowed. Please send me a Private Message using the link provided to proceed our conversation.”
But Juanie continued her airing out the airline online, tweeting, “To top all of it off, [the pet’s owner] hit her banned vape on the plane,” of the lady’s prohibited puff — which, per the Federal Aviation Administration, or the FAA, is a federal offense.
“@Delta, Where’s my refund,” Juanie asked, “Where are my credits? I would like them now!.”
And Twitter supporters howled in agreement.
“A vape?! She bouta find yourself on the no-fly list,” penned an infuriated onlooker.
“Nahhh hitting the vape [with] the dog and y’all right there’s crazy. @Delta owed you in a significant way,” said one other.
“@Delta please refund her flight cause that is unreasonable smh,” an equally outraged commenter tweeted.
Unfortunately, Juanie isn’t the one traveler to endure the pangs of a beastly flight.
Passengers on a United Airlines flight from Tampa, Fla., into Recent Jersey’s Newark International Airport screeched in panic when a snake was spotted slithering across the plane in October 2022.
And a California man named Gerald Tautenhahn was in unceremoniously booted off of a United flight from Long Beach, Calif., to Austin, Tex., in December 2019 after he tried sneaking his pet opossum, Zatara, onto the aircraft, freaking out his fellow flyers.
But Juanie believes her problematic plane mate got away along with her objectionable behavior as a result of white privilege.
“I could get into a whole thing about how if this had been a Black woman she would have been removed immediately but I won’t,” she tweeted,” because everyone knows the reality and I’m drained.”
“Bags didn’t make the [connecting flight] yesterday. They arrived today and @delta damaged my hard top,” Juanie said in closing. “There just aren’t words.”
