Topic : 03/06 Etiquette Dilemmas

Dr. Phil,

 

I agree with those who say that her skirt was too short.  I don't want to see her underpants when she sits and all the viewers did, in fact, see her undies.  She should respect herself more.  But, then, look at her Mom.  You can tell how she was raised.  She's in it for the money.

 

Tell her to put some clothes on. 

 

And, of course, when you ask the men what they think, what do you expect them to say?!  DUH!!

 

If she wasnt' wearing any undies, it's not very hygenic to then sit on an airplane seat and not considerate of the next person. What if she didn't wipe very well?  What if the girl had pubic lice ?  And other people have to sit on that!  Gross.

 

 

 

Dr. Phil,  I am in total disagreement  with your comments to the woman on the Thursday, March 6th program--on two counts. When I was a manager and my group all worked together in a single large office room, it was imperative that we all worked well with each other. When I interviewed and hired I shared the dress code for the company, that being professional at all times was important, and I also shared with them my own dislike for hearing/watching noisy gum chewing. I told them that if they could chew gum, which is also unprofessional, silently, they might be able to do so; however, if I were in their place and wanted a happy boss, I wouldn't try it. I was the boss and that was the rule. The same rule operated in my home. My husband and I were the parents and no noisy gum-chewing was the rule. Period. The second important thing here refers to your frequent statement that a loving spouse should consider what he could do to make his wife's day better. In this case, that would have meant insisting that his children honor their mother by abiding by her wishes and that he, in turn, should cut out the sunflower see habit. Love is an action and this would be a simple thing to do to demonstrate his love. He is not going to suffer tremendous deprivation by giving up the sunflower seeds. I'm sure his wife has given up things through the years to respond to his wishes--perhaps, for example, not wearing her favorite perfume because he doesn't care for it. My husband appreciates my dislike for this ugly, noisy habit by occasionally quietly changing our seats at a movie or conference so I can avoid contact with something that bothers me so much. There are a few people I know who might be interesting but their habit affects me so much that I restrict my contact with them. If these children continue their poor habits, they could easily fall into that same category. And to suggest that their habits are giving them power over their mother is ridiculous and the husband and father should see to it that this stops right now. She is the parent and parents set the house rules, not the kids. She is emphatically not "not normal."

the mother who finds so many sounds annoying might pay attention to sleep habits and stimulant intake. i often get very, very sensitive to sounds, but i've found it's usually when i've had too much caffiene and/or not enough sleep.  see if that helps.

      Kyla, of risque dress notoriety, was taken off a Southwest Airlines flight because of the way she was dressed.  Threatening legal action, she said all she wanted was an apology.  The Dr. Phil Show put her on, and she got an apology from the airline, along with two free tickets to anywhere in the U.S.

      According to her statement, that should have settled the matter.  But in one of the most flagrant acts of hypocrisy I have ever seen on television, she vowed to continue her lawsuit.  Of course, she had help from that shyster of a lawyer that appeared with her.  (I guess she needs money to pay that character.)   

      Her claim that she is doing it for all women is nothing but cant and hypocrisy.  She didn't even begin to pull off the acting job.  It was obvious she didn't care about anyone but herself and money.  She showed herself to be deceitful and a liar. 

      I believe the airline's apology was sincere.  They showed they are a class act.  Kyla's lack of class in front of the world will hurt her credibility for years to come, and maybe forever.

       Shame on her for her hypocrisy!  

EXACTLY!!  

She got exactly what she said she wanted (the appology from the airline) and more -  the free tickets from TWO airlines, not to mention all the publicity she's gained on tv & the internet.  She couldn't have grinned any bigger, yet her demeanor completely changed after Dr. Phil expressed his incredulity that she & her lawyer were still concidering suing the airline.  Suddenly she gave the tickets back like she was completely disgusted at the very thought that this was all it was going to take to make her happy.  

I also saw her on the Today Show and they had to blur out her crotch - WHAT MORE needs to be said about whether or not THAT outfit was appropriate?????

So she truely showed us what she was REALLY about after all - MONEY & EXPOSURE

I watched Kyla, and at first was quite impressed when she said "All I want is an apology" In this world an apology is hard to come by, It was refreshing to see someone who actually seemed to be after something other than money.  But, alas, her true colors surfaced when she got the apology, and a generous offering of free tickets, and she returned and the tickets.  She was caught in her web of deceit then, her true motive was quite clear to me, law suit and money was the game, nothing else, some people seem to just look for occassions to dredge up a law suit.  If I was on that jury deciding that suit, I would have her pay SWA for all the damage she has done to them. Maybe that would stop some of the frivolous law suits plaguing our court systems.

 

I like the viewer's comment about offering her a blanket to wear over her lap to keep the peace. It's discrete and respectful to all the paying customers. I mean, the airline doesn't post a dress code, so she can dress how she wants. Do you find Burkas offensive? How about Lakers t-shirts? What gives YOU the right to say anyone who dresses innapropraitely for YOU doesn't get to fly?

 

That was the most condescending public 'apology' I ever heard from an executive. I wouldn't accept it either, even without a lawsuit pending. I mean he joked about her ability to get PR in it.

 

If the airline had a dress code, posted on their website and issued on the back of the ticket, then, well, we'd all have to follow it. She said she wore that same outfit on another flight on the same airline. So, how arbitrary is that?

 

I can't believe you all are so upset over a visible panty peek. Hello, have you been to the mall lately?

 

Southwest Airline apologizes, and she wants to possibly sue? What is her argument now? She does not want what happened to her to happened to other girls?? There are people that aren't allowed to do things for reasons they cannot change. Think about that. That is way more serious.

 

Guess she is trying to make her money, though....
