flying

It must be a very interesting world for this guy. 

Over the weekend an amusing and entirely ridiculous controversy rained down sweet entertainment for us all, courtesy of United Airlines' dress policy. Specifically, United wouldn't let a couple girls board their flight because they were wearing leggings, which apparently didn't comply with their outlandish dress code policy. At the end of the day I think we can all agree, that 'Airline Twitter' remains the best Twitter!

In May of 2012, Tumblr user LeonsBuddyDave made a fake Twitter account with the name "United Airlanes" (as opposed to United AirLINES). He posted a few gag tweets and then left the account alone. Recently, he decided to check up on the account just for kicks and saw that quite a few people had tweeted at the parody account believing it was the real thing.

Hey, we get it...we all like to embellish the truth from time to time to make our stories a little more interesting. But the trouble starts when the lie wasn't even believable in the first place or someone can easily fact-check your story. The following people clearly didn't think things through very well!
