Some people are just looking for any opportunity to extort people.
I will share my story. When I was returning from my trip, on my way to where I was to take my connecting flight, one flight attendant in the process of serving me tea spilled hot tea on my hands.
She apologized profusely and I told her not to worry. Shortly after, while she was trying to clear trash from the person sitting next to me, she mistakenly knocked down my full cup of hot tea and the whole thing poured on my laps. You needed to see people around me screaming.
This time around, she was almost on her knees pleading. I just told her not to worry, went into the rest room, took off my trousers and started dabbing the mess with cold water.
What am I saying. A thief will want to exploit that opportunity like this woman up there
