Ever gotten kicked off a flight? And what if that related to your dress code?
A man was asked to get off a Spirit Airlines plane after an argument with a flight attendant over his saggy pants.
The plane was headed to Orlando from the Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
As per a report in the Chicago Tribune, a spokesperson for the Spirit Airlines notes - The man and the woman he was traveling with Sunday morning became "verbally abusive," threatening physical harm to flight attendants who had asked him to pull up his pants, which were "excessively low," hanging below his buttocks".
Following the argument, the authorities escorted those passengers off the plane and they were assigned seats on a subsequent flight.
This is not the first time saggy pants have caused problems. In September, 2011, the famous rock musician Billie Joe Armstrong was headed to Burbank from Oakland on a Southwest flight. A flight attendant asked him to pull his pants up to which he replied 'Don't you have better thing to do than worry about that?' And you can imagine what happened after that.
