Remember the scene in Half Baked when Scarface quit his job at the burger joint? Of course you don’t — you were in a weed coma every time you watched that movie.

This was the coolest way you could possibly quit your job, until today.

38-year-old Steven Slater was a male flight attendant for JetBlue until he snapped today. It all started when a passenger pulled some luggage down from an overhead compartment and accidentally struck Slater in the head. Clearly annoyed, Slater asked for an apology. The passenger refused. When asked again, the passenger replied, “fuck you.”

In a state of pure rage, Slater walked over to the plane’s PA system and instructed each passenger to go fuck themselves, especially the guy that refused to apologize.

By this point, the airplane was about to pull up to the terminal and let the passengers off, but Slater was beyond the point of no return. He opened the emergency exit, activated the inflatable chute, and grabbed two beers from the plane’s kitchen before sliding down onto the runway. His co-workers even gave him time to escape before calling the cops.

Hours later, the police arrested Slater at his home and brought him back to the airport where he was questioned and charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. Good thing he didn’t also grab the tits of the hottest girl aboard before making his exit. That’s the only thing I would’ve done differently: “Fuck you all,” beer, tits, slide.

JetBlue claims that 10% of its flight attendant staff are retired police officers and firefighters. When I learned this fact, I had to make sure this wasn’t a case of some maniac ex-cop losing it. When I imagined Steven Slater freaking out on those passengers, I also imagined him being fantastically gay. What I didn’t realize is that I automatically labeled him based on a stereotype about male flight attendants. So, was I right? Yes.

Steven Slater makes made flying fabulous!

Gay or not, this man is my new hero. The most daring thing I ever did after quitting a job (read: getting fired) is take a shit in the top tank of toilet. I also stole a company stapler, but I felt bad and eventually mailed it back anonymously.
