According to various users on the Internet, Andie MacDowell might as well be a member of the Kardashian family.
Because the veteran actress just complained about a very serious First World Problem.
See, the 57-year old star of Four Wedding and a Funeral and Groundhog’s Day had paid for a first class ticket on a recent American Airlines flight.
But when she got downgraded from this special section of the airplane, MacDowell took to social media to voice her frustration.
“@AmericanAir HELP I paid for first class & they put me in tourist because of my dog that I pre-booked & paid for,” MacDowell Tweeted Friday, alongside a selfie with fellow coach passengers.
Granted, MacDowell doesn’t look too sad about being placed among a bunch of peons, does she?
But MacDowell added that she encountered “the rudest person I have ever had to deal with” while checking in for her flight in Charlotte, complaining about the employee’s “power trip” in denying her the chance to change seats.
“I just want to be reimbursed for my second part of my trip,” MacDowell said, which doesn’t seem too unreasonable.
American Airlines has a policy that states all carry-on animals must be able to fit underneath a passenger’s seat.
Because MacDowell’s seven-pound rescue pooch was too large to that spot, the actress was moved to the back of the plane.
And her rant was met with mixed reactions on Twitter.
“1st world problems. Ugh,” one person wrote, while another wrote sarcastically: “God bless you for tolerating the peasants…”
But some users totally understood where the star was coming from.
“100% agree w/ her,” one person wrote. “She paid 4 service she didn’t receive, compounded by an @americanair employee w/ tude.”
Faced with the ongoing ire of the Internet, MacDowell went back online over the weekend and Tweeted:
“I’m very happy flying in coach I’m happy on a bus or the subway but if I play for first class, that’s where I want to be. That was the point.”
Okay, fine. Fair enough. We won’t add her to the following collection of #FirstWorldProblems…
