But Emmit wasn't about to just take it without clapping back!
And yes, Emmit was flying first class, not that it was any of her business anyway.
But if she thought Emmit would just stand aside and let her through, she had a surprise coming.
He wasn't about to budge from his spot in line, and why should he? He didn't do anything wrong here.
And this raises another question — should military have to wait for other people to board first, even if they have priority passes? What's up with that?
And the airport waiting area loved it.
And apparently it's more common than it has any right to be.
On Facebook, folks rejoiced at Emmit's story, even though many could relate to the experience.
At least, it does to one person in his comments section. And they handle it the same way — laughter in the face of ignorance.
Anger would have been understandable, for sure, but he just served up a little education instead.
So many people saw it! Who knew his post would end up with more than 650,000 reactions?!
