This is the kind of thing that blows my freaking mind and pisses me off a bit. A person makes a statement on an anonymous website and people assume it's true.

Damn people. Take a freaking second and LOOK IT UP before you form an opinion.

I said it below but I'll say it again. This rule is ONLY for people who are flying as United employees. Anyone else can wear leggings.

I wonder why "fake news" was so effective?

It's also been reported by People.com, Snope.com. , New York Daily News, Time.com, us magazine.com, fox6now.com...several out there.

@bijouxbroussard: and they pretty much quoted exactly what has been reported- read it

@bijouxbroussard: Again, I posted the piece from WaPo in which United says the policy is ONLY for people traveling as United employees or family. EVERY airline has a dress code policy and it's at their discretion if they allow someone to board.

@Makemeluvit: Our regular passengers are not going to be denied boarding because they are wearing leggings or yoga pants,” Guerin said. “But when flying as a pass traveler, we require this pass travelers to follow rules, and that is one of those rules.

@Makemeluvit: Right ON! Gotta' consider the source of everything. Every time.

@Makemeluvit: And that is why I asked for clarification.

Makemeluvit · 36-40, F

You replied to a comment that already included the clarification- that is why I pointed it out

bijouxbroussard · F

@Makemeluvit: I merely added more information. All of those sources have reported this story.

Makemeluvit · 36-40, F

If you read beyond the headlines then you wouldn't need clarification

bijouxbroussard · F

@Makemeluvit: I don't need your assessment of what I need, that's for certain. Goodbye, now.

Lolz people get so defensive on this site that in and of itself is entertaining- if you perceived that I was assessing your needs so be it- that says more about you then it does me ✌🏼

Weird that I assumed she needed clarification right?

@Makemeluvit: (She's actually a very sharp woman. Maybe some miscommunication in this thread).

@ProfessorClitinrub: Thank you for that, anyway. I was actually trying to bow out peacefully and avoid further conflict. 🙂

I don't know what conflict is- I don't let things on here get to me enough to bother labeling it- as far as responding, I have no problem continuing to calmly respond while clarifying why I made the point that I did- maybe there was miscommunication- maybe the peaceful bowing out wasn't meant to sound defensive and dismissive at all- benefit of the doubt
