Some people would try anything to get what they want.

This woman found a huge guy sitting on her paid airplane seat. The guy and his friend tried to intimidate her, but this tough woman didn’t back down.

Read the full story below.

He tried to take my airline seat, and lost

I was travelling to Las Vegas to meet up with some friends, and pre-booked my seat. With this airline, they charge extra for certain seats. I chose a window seat with extra leg room due to my disability, which cost me an additional $45.

When boarding, there was a man in my seat with another in the aisle seat. The middle was open. I checked my seat number, and then politely told the man he was in my seat and asked him to move.

I am a petite female, and both men were about 6 feet tall and over 200 lbs. When both opened their mouths, it definitely appeared like they were both used to using their size to get their way.

The man in the aisle immediately told me that the man at the window didn’t have to move, and I could sit in the middle. After all, he said, I shouldn’t make a scene about it.

That really annoyed me. I didn’t raise my voice, and was very polite. I said I wasn’t making a scene, but was asking nicely for the seat I paid for.

That’s when he stood up, and attempted to physically intimidate me.

This woman answered back.

But here is the thing…I worked in front-line healthcare. I am used to men attempting to use their size and mouth to intimidate, and this behaviour does not work with me. So, I decided to take another tactic.

I turned my head to the man in my seat; and told him that I would make him a deal.

He gives me $50 dollars cash, and I will give him my seat. I told him I paid an additional $45 for the seat, and with tax it should be around $50. If he gives the money, then the seat would be his.

This is when he turned to me in shock and said, “You want me to pay you $50 for your seat?”

And the bullies turned bright red in embarrassment.

I answered, “So you are admitting that you knew this wasn’t your seat. I am going to call the airline staff, and they can take you to your seat. After all, I booked this seat due to me having a disability (which is true), and you are trying to steal it.”

Everyone around us turned to look at him, and they did not have kind looks on their faces. He turned 14 shades of red, and moved to the middle seat.

He pulled his hoodie over his head, and sulked the rest of the flight. His friend did the same.

The moral of this story is simple. Do not use size and gender to bully others. It may just backfire on you, and make your next flight a lot less comfortable.

Way to show those bullies they’re not dealing with a pushover.

Let’s read what other people are saying about this.

A user shares their personal experience.

A valid point from this person.

This flight attendant offers some advice.

And this one is commending the woman.

Never underestimate someone smaller, they might just school you.
