Modern Family Director Live-Tweets a Plane Passenger's Drunken Meltdown
Sitting behind a beligerantly drunk passenger on a three-hour flight is a special kind of torture that actually happened to Modern Family director and editor Ryan Case. Luckily for her Twitter followers, she captured every excruciating moment. In over 60 tweets, Case chronicled "the worst person in the world's" every drunken move — including name-dropping David Guetta, making racially charged remarks to her seatmate and then promptly hitting on him, and forcing everyone around her to watch The Mysteries of Laura.
Case's tweets read like the most hilarious sitcom episode you will ever watch and even has a happy ending. The drunken passenger, Nadia, was eventually arrested.
Buckle up and enjoy the Twitter ride.

She was watching Hawaii 5.0 so loudly in her earphones that her seat mate asked her to turn it down. Worst move he ever made.
