There’s something really fitting about the fact that, the very same weekend as Cecily Strong’s That Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party” returned to Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, the actual manifestation of this loathsome human being surfaced as well.

Modern Family editor and director Ryan Case spent at least three hours last night on an airplane sitting behind a person who was incredibly drunk, more than a little racist, and a huge fan of CBS programming. Fortunately, Case decided that the best way to capture this entire experience was to share it with the world via live tweet.

It’s a tale of love, betrayal, and forcible neck kisses. Basically, everything you’d want on an airplane.

We’ll let her take it from here:
