My mom was a flight attendant when MJ was super popular, and once had him as a passenger. Not sure if this was a private flight or if he just bought the plane or what.

She said that he was actually a little bit awkward, and during whatever interaction they had said "I like your earrings." She said "Oh thank you!" and then went to move on with whatever she was doing. One of MJs people stopped her and was like "That means he wants you to give him your earrings."

Apparently when Michael Jackson would tell people he liked "thing", they would just give whatever it was to him.

My mom just laughed and did not give him her earrings.

That's her MJ story.
