Only a day after an 18-year-old Florida woman was sentenced to serve 30-days in jail for flipping-off a Miami-Dade Circuit Judge, a flight attendant made the mistake off giving the finger to dozens of passengers on a plane and lost her job.
Tatiana Kozlenko, who worked for the Russian airline Aeroflot, had taken a picture of herself giving the bird to a whole cabin full of passengers, news reports say, and then posted the photo on the Russian social network site Vkontakte. Little did she know the photo would end up on Twitter where it would be seen by millions of people around the world, including Aeroflot executives who terminated her employment.
"Posting this photo shows Tatiana's attitude towards passengers and her duties. She acknowledged her fault when she spoke to her managers," Aerolflot announced on her Twitter account, according to The Telegraph.
But Kozlenko denies its her in the picture and claims she did nothing inappropriate.
"I don't consider myself guilty! The photo was added to my page, I only tagged myself on it!!!"The hand isn't mine, the plane is not my company's!!! I don't understand what they spoil my life for!!!" she posted on Vkontakte.
