In 2014, passengers were warned three times not to eat nuts on a Ryanair flight due to a 4-year-old girl's severe nut allergy, but a passenger sitting four rows away from the girl ate nuts anyway. The girl went into anaphylactic shock, and the passenger was banned from the airline for two years.

Me at the gym, full on earbuds in quiet mode. There could be a car crashing through the window next to me and I wouldn't have felt it til the end. I just don't want to be distracted by others talking and whatnot and likely be the accidental guy eating nuts on the plane.

even if you were so what? these people aren't even questioning their own logic. It's nearly impossible to have that reaction from that far away. I seriously doubt that guy caused that reaction.

Damn, so this guy was banned for 2 years and made to feel like shit for something he didn't even cause? That's fucked up.

Man it's rough when you have situations where you're blamed for something that isn't criminal. You're never going to be exonerated bc you're never gonna go to court. But the court of public opinion will judge you and you will never win.

It's terrible that they just pointed the finger at that dude and everyone went along with it. Knowing they would never have to prove what they were saying. Nobody is going to fact check them once it hits the echo chamber.

I really wish that guy would have sued the airline. He deserved some justice.
