You ever see that one absolute bozo that ruins things for everyone?

Well, this lady on an American Airlines flight from Jacksonville, Florida to DC may just be the biggest bozo in recent airline history.

Tiffany Miles got mad and rushed the airplane's cockpit, trying to get to the pilot, because she was not served a drink.

This Karen was going to speak to the manager.

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in North Carolina on Wednesday after an "unruly" woman in first class allegedly tried to breach the cockpit — because she was upset at not being served a drink.

American Eagle Flight 3444 from Jacksonville, Florida, to Washington, DC, was diverted to Raleigh-Durham International Airport at about 3:40 p.m. "due to a security concern involving an unruly customer," the airline said in a statement.

Tiffany Miles, 36, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge and was released on bond, CNN reported, citing the Raleigh/Wake City-County Bureau of Identification.

Yeah, I'm usually pretty skeptical about the reasoning behind the "no-fly" list, but if you act like an idiot and force an emergency landing I think that should keep you grounded for life.

In radio transmissions from Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority Police, officers are heard saying Miles "tried to breach the cockpit" and was "being somewhat restrained by the flight crew and other passengers," according to CNN.

The Federal Aviation Administration said she charged at the cockpit door.

Flight attendants and passengers had to hold her down because she wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

This woman shouldn't be allowed in polite society if she can't behave like a normal person.

Passenger Kara Rosario told ABC 11 that Miles was getting upset when she wasn't being served her drink.

She said another passenger got up to help the flight attendants as they tried to calm the woman down.

"He heard the commotion and he went up to first class to assist and see if he could help at all," Rosario told the outlet.

"He wasn't a marshal at all or police officer, just a citizen who was trying to help defuse the situation. You could feel that we were in it together and were willing to do what was needed but the gentleman behind me was the first to get up and take matters into his own hands," she said.

This lady could have done seem real damage if this dude didn't step up.

All over a drink. Lay off the sauce, lady.
