(00:26):
time you got it before you here it is Strawberry,
Thank you, nephew. Subject fooling around in first class. Dear
Stephen Shirley. I'm in my early thirties and newly single.
I dated a man for six years before I realized
he didn't love me and he was never going to
marry me. After my long dead in relationship ended, I

(00:48):
started drinking a lot more and I decided to treat
men like dirt. That didn't go so well for me,
and now I've lost my job and I've been charged
with indecent exposure. I worked for a major airline and
my girls and I were headed to Jamaica for a
Gallantine's Day get away. I was in first class, sitting

(01:08):
next to a chocolate man with a ball head and
pearly white teeth. We drank a lot of brown liquor
and laughed and talked. I slid past him to get
to the bathroom, and I made sure he saw my
ass sets. When I got back, I noticed he was
watching an erotic movie on his phone and there was

(01:29):
a wild sex scene going on. He saw that I
was watching too, so he tilted his phone so I
could see it better. Without communicating, he slid his hand
under my blanket. The lights had been lowered so no
one could see what was going on. He knew what
to do with his hands, and when he finished, I

(01:50):
wanted to return the favor. I leaned over the armrest
and covered myself with my blanket. He didn't say a word,
and I was quiet as I could possibly be. Then
he pushed me. He pushed me up frantically as a
flight attendant passed by. He told me that he's married,
and he seemed very irritated. I guess my lip service

(02:10):
sobered him up real quick. We did not look at
each other or utter one word for the rest of
the flight. After I got to Jamaica, I got an
email from my job saying that I lost my flight
privileges and I was suspended. I got fired three days later,
all because the flight attendant snitched. I blamed this all
on my ex? How do I move past the hurt? Okay? Really? Really?

(02:35):
I mean you blame this on your ex? You're asking?
What are you asking? You did this to yourself? Your
ex wasn't servicing a complete stranger in first class you were?
I mean? And how many cocktails did you guys? Have
all this brown liquor? You says, because clearly your judgment
was impaired and you have no one to blame but yourself.

(02:59):
This happened not because the flight attendant snitched or because
you and your ex broke up and you're hurt. You
have to own what you did. You work for a
major airline. You know you can't be doing stuff like
that where you work. That's nasty. You didn't even know
that man. That's not something a woman who cares about
herself would do. You were an hr case just waiting

(03:22):
to happen. Yes, the flight attendant snitched, but you left
her no choice the way you were carrying on. She
could have lost her job for not telling. So listen,
I just tell you, please get yourself together. Sis. You're
better than this. Start looking for another job immediately so
you can move on with your life. Your ex is
your past. You know, you got to learn what you

(03:46):
can from that relationship. It is over, so you don't
go down that road anymore. And please change how you
conduct yourself in public and private from now on so
you can get what you want. You want marriage, you
want to relationship, you want a man who loves you.
You want all these things. That's not how you get
it doing these types of things. Okay, with a perfect

(04:08):
stranger on an airplane, you, Steve, let me just fix
the subject of this letter. The letters called fooling around
in first class. We're gonna take off the I N
and we just read this letter of fool in first
class because that's all we're talking about here. Yeah, see

(04:28):
you in your early thirties, didn't you know better? You're
in your early twenties. You should know this wasn't a
smart idea, but you didn't. You dated this man for
six years before you realize that he ain't love you,
he wasn't gonna marry you. So after your dad in relationship,

(04:48):
here we go. I started drinking a lot more, and
I decided to treat men like dirt. Well, I didn't
go so well for me, and now I've lost my
job and I've been charged with indecent exposure. Okay, now
you want to tell you something, let me explain something
to you, ladies, so you can get this out the way,

(05:09):
because I understand this a hundred times on this show.
You said, I decided I'm gonna treat me and like dirt.
But that ain't go well for me. Here's your problem.
When women try to test drive, they always end up
getting drone because it's not in your makeup. That's not

(05:32):
your DNA to behave like this. It's not in the
female DNA. Man, not ladies. That all women who are
doing it, But I'm talking about ladies, women who care
about themselves, family people. That's trying to be something you
can't BacT like this. Now you lost your job and

(05:54):
you've been charged with indecent exposure. You were working for
a major allie and you and your girls going to
Jamaica for a Gallantine's Day getaway. You was in first class,
acting like you needed to be in the luggage compartment. See,
you can't put trash in first class because everybody gonna

(06:14):
find out it's up there, real quick conversation at first
class to be a little bit dealer. Oh but you
got yourself in first class seat, but you should have
been down in the luggage cargo with all the bags
and stuff. When we come back, I'm gonna just go
through this real quickly. You already know what you did wrong.

(06:35):
Waste of time, all right, Steve, Coming up at twenty
three minutes after the hour, we'll have part two of
your response to the Strawberry letter. The subject is you
change the to what now? I change it to a
fool in first class. We'll get back into it right
after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, Come on,

(06:58):
let's recap today's strawberry. The subject is fooling around in
first class, but you changed it to what a fool
in first class? This ignorant woman in her thirties, newly single,
she'd been dating a man for six years, found out
it was going nowhere. Once she stopped, she started drinking
a lot, and she made a conscious decision to start

(07:19):
treating me in like dirt. Right after she said that,
it said. That didn't go so well for me, And
now I've lost my job and been charged. Within decent exploding.
I've told women this one hundred times. I'm gonna repeat
it one more time. Women, when you take me in
for a test drive, you usually always wound up getting

(07:40):
drone because it's not in your makeup. Man, it's not
in your DNA to behave unladylike. That's just not in
your DNA. It's not gonna want healthy. Now, you and
your girls went on this trip to Jamaica to Gallant Times.
They do a Gallant Time, and you sitting in the

(08:00):
first class next to this chocolate man with a ball
head and parely white. We drank a lot of brown liquor,
laughed and talk. I got him go to bathroom. I
slid passing make sure he saw my ass sex. When
I got back, I noticed he was watching the Eurotic

(08:22):
movie on his phone. Let me tell you something. He
pulled that up as soon as you went to the bathroom.
This was in the plan because when y'all was laughing
at talking, he wasn't watching it. But then when you
put your button, wiped his chapstick off. Then then he said,
old Hill chapstick. She was going to the bathroom, put
her but all up in his mouth. Doctor drank out

(08:45):
of his hand everything. He said, okay, so when you
came back, he watching the Eurotic movie. That was a
wild sex scene going on. You over that making noises.
I know you was, and you go, you was doing
all that. That's what, that's what, and that started. He
saw that I was watching too, so he tilted the

(09:07):
phone so you can see it better without communicating. He
was already communicating because you drunk. Slid his hand under
my blanket. Lights had been lowered so nobody can see
what was going on. He knew what to do with
his hands, and when he finished, I wanted to return
to fable. I leaned over the armrest, covered myself with

(09:28):
my blanket. He didn't say a word, and I was
quiet as I could possibly be. Then he pushed me
out frantically. When the flight attendant passed by, he told
me he married, and he seemed very irritated. I guess
my lip service sobered him up right quickly. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah,
sobered him up right quick. Let gonna tell you something.

(09:52):
Ye had a little bit too much to drink. He
wasn't paying attention. Now we're gonna jump up frantically if
you if you you're not, how can I put this
for the radio. Delicately. Okay, let's just say she wasn't delicately.
Let's just say that, well, let's say that aggressive. Yeah,

(10:16):
you was too much. You weren't ginger enough. Yeah, let's
just say. Let's use another term that's not sexual. Paper cuts.
Paper cuts are irritated. Nah, that's what happened. He jumped

(10:37):
up fronting, sobered up real quickly. We didn't look at
each other other one word the rest of the flight. Well,
I got to Jamaica, you got an email from your
job saying I lost my flight privileges and I was
suspended and I got fired three days later. You worked
for a major airline. Every all of the flight attendants

(10:59):
on that I knew you were a flight attendant, or
you work for a major airline because your past says
that at the cake and you lost your flight privileges,
they knew you were up there, and they know who
you are now. All because the flight attended snitch. The

(11:21):
flight attended snitch. That's why you think you lost your job.
She snitched? Are you stupid? This isn't snitching when it's
filled out on a report at show jaw Dad ain't
snitching listen, you and the other flight attended wasn't robbing

(11:45):
the bank, and then she got caught at the bank
and you drove off, and then she told on you.
That's all right, that's what the snitching needs. That's when
criminals have a cold of snitching, and that's what Snitchy
sustained amongst criminals. I'm not a criminal. If you do
something illegal around me, I'm not snitching. I'm telling I'm

(12:07):
reporting your ass because I'm not getting in this matter.
So now it's not because to flight the tendis snitch.
I blame this all on my ex. So now this
is your ex's fault. Now you even got two places
you need to go get to help. You need to
get this mental issue fixed, and you don't get this
damn drinking problems fixed. You need to call one of
the mental hotline nomost and you need to go to

(12:30):
an AA meeting send out talking to somebody, all right,
and then you got to learn how to perform your
acts better because you you're hurting people. And leave us
