True story, I swear - I was on a flight from New York to San Francisco a few years ago and one of the passengers started kicking up a rumpus about the guy in front of her reclining his seat. The two passengers had come close to blows and the flight attendants were trying to sort it out. The woman in the seat behind claimed she had breast cancer and that she had a special right to an undisturbed rest. She hooted and hollered until the captain said that the flight would be met by authorities and she assumed that meant the police. The flight was met by airline personnel who managed to calm her down (I guess) although she still wanted to press charges against the other passenger and was very disappointed not to see him dragged away in handcuffs. But you know what? I really don't think that all (most, many or even some) breast cancer patients are arrogant, rude, claim special privileges and think they are above the law. I think it was just her!
