Cell Phone-Loving Italians Thrown Off Plane

Where: Italy

When the captain of your Alitalia flight tells you to turn off your mobile, you'd better do it. After asking three passengers to stop chatting three times, he'd had enough and called in the cops. After they got dragged off the plane, everyone else could finally fly from Milan to Bari.

Normally we wouldn't give any press to these three jerks. But the fact that these were Italian guys makes this story so perfect. We can just picture them with their sweaters elegantly draped over their shoulders, hair perfectly coiffed, screaming into their tiny little phones.

Still, no matter how good you look, you gotta follow the rules on airplanes. Even in Italy.
