You will meet a lot of entitled passengers on a plane. Like, a lot!

In this story, a woman was pressured to give up her aisle seat to a rude passenger who insisted he deserved it more.

Although she eventually moved, his attitude left a bad impression during the flight.

What followed was a quiet but repetitive form of payback in the confined space of the plane.

Find out how an act of petty revenge made the passenger’s trip awful. Check out the details below.

Your Seat?

This happened to me back in the early 2000s.

I used to travel a lot and always booked an aisle seat.

This very large man had the middle seat next to me.

He said his travel department messed up and did not give him an aisle.

He said I needed to switch with him. He was a large man.

This woman agreed that the other passenger needed the aisle seat more than her.

I am sure he really did need the aisle more than me.

He was a true bastard about it.

Had he asked nicely, I would have gladly switched with him.

He was blocking the aisle so no one could get past him.

But she was shocked when he claimed the seat as his.

So I relented. After I moved, he turned to the crowd behind him and said:

“Sorry, I had to wait for this lady to move out of my seat.”.

“YOUR seat?”

Every 10 minutes or so, I made him get up so I could get out of my seat.

I would stand in the aisle just a few rows behind my row.

She kept getting up to inconvenience him.

Just as he settled back in, I came back and made him get up to let me back in.

After he got a drink, time for me to get up.

Just as he opened food he brought with him, time for me to get up.

Closed his eyes, time for me to get up.

I did this the whole 3.5 hour flight.

She feels good thinking about it.

It was obviously really inconvenient for him.

Because he would have to pick up his things, put the tray up, take off his  seatbelt, get out, and let me out.

Then put everything back.

I still smile when I think about that.

That guy really didn’t help himself by being rude about it. Like, it doesn’t hurt to be polite, does it?

If you push people around in a cramped airplane, there’s nowhere to escape the consequences.

It’s kind of funny, but also very fitting in a petty way.

Finally, this one is perfect, says this one.

If he had been kinder, he wouldn’t have had to stand more often. Lol.
