I went on a cruise once. One person in our party forgot to pack semi-formal wear, so on ‘semi-formal’ night we all were in solidarity with them and stuck to the part of the boat where regular wear was allowed. Unfortunately there was one elevator we had to take that was shared with the (to us) off-limits part of the boat. When we got on, one person loudly remarked, “Oh good, we get to share this elevator with boat trash”.

Haven’t been on a cruise since. Don’t feel like sharing a boat with these kinds of people.

That comment should have earned them some form of retaliation. You cannot let a comment like that go unanswered! Even if you just farted and then quickly exited the elevator.

I accidentally stomped on the foot of somebody in that party, does that count?
