I was flying from Houston, TX to Mobile, AL on a small commuter Jet. At the gate, a woman got very upset that she couldn't have the front row of the plane, and she ends up throwing her water bottle at the woman behind the counter. As she was boarding, she then spit on her ticket before handing it to the gate agent. Once she gets on the plane, she kicks the seat in front of her and gets up a couple of times and yells at he flight attendant. At this point, the passengers are starting to look around, wondering what's going on. The woman then sits down, pulls out her in-flight magazine and proceeds to rip it up - page by page. Once the magazine is gone, she grabs the pages and tears them into smaller pages, creating a huge mess. She starts being rude at this point to the other passengers around her, at which point the plane stops taxiing to the runway, and turns around. We pull back into the gate, and next thing we know, a police officer comes on board and tells the woman to come with him. She says she was simply scared and the flight crew wouldn't give her the seat she wanted. The police officer doesn't want any back talk, and eventually tells the woman that he is about to forcibly remove her from the plane. Her husband (who is sitting in the back of the plane) gets up from the back of the plane and follows her out. Turns out, she was a Russian mail-order bride. Apparently, he didn't know what he was getting into.
