I’ve seen passengers being unnecessarily impolite to flight attendants many instances, which disturbs them in addition to the passengers. Kunal Kamra was banned for his verbal outbursts. This passenger dedicated a rather more distressing act and was banned for a shorter length. Not passable I might say.
