45 Shocking Moments When Rude Passengers Met Their Match Mid-Flight—and Didn’t See It Coming
Now, at this point it is important to point out that her friend is very fat, borderline obese (not fat-shaming, I’m a heavy guy myself, but she is at least twice as wide as me). I probably would have swapped even if she hadn’t been fat, but I saw a chance at revenge.
As I get up to move, I see the guy sitting in my seat has turned around and realised what is about to happen. He doesn’t look happy and gives me a look like he’s saying please don’t move. I ignore him and swap seats.
I spent the flight mostly with my eyes closed as I try (and fail) to get a nap. But I do occasionally have a look at the row in front of me, and I am very satisfied to see that the fat woman in front of me is taking up nearly half of the window seat as well as her own seat, and that the guy in my seat is squashed up against the wall of the plane.
I hope he spent the flight thinking about how if he’d just taken his own seat, he’d have been able to swap with the fat woman and I’d have been the one pinned against the wall. Maybe next time he will think twice before he takes someone else’s seat?
I am someone who struggles with being overly kind and accommodating, especially on planes. I’m a small person and ppl usually assume that means they can encroach upon my space on planes instead of just upgrading themselves to a more accommodating seat. Finally, I was fed up and knew I no longer wanted to sacrifice my sustainability and comfort for selfish undeserving humans.
I have the window seat and someone who has boarded quite late comes in pushing her oversized carry-on, winter coat, purse, and a shaggy blanket onto me. She didn’t push her carry-on under her seat bc it couldn’t fit. She throws the shaggy blanket onto my seat while I’m sitting there. She places her purse on my feet. Places her headphones on and closes her eyes. As if I’m invisible.
I move the blanket and purse back to her side. Flight attendant comes around and tells her about her luggage. She ignores. They assume she can’t hear them. She continues to ignore. They tap her shoulder. She ignores. They shake her shoulder and she finally follows their instructions.
Before you know it, her coat, blanket, and purse are on my side again. She’s fast asleep, elbows flung, and having sweet dreams. Do my best to move her things. Now her mouth is open and she has terrible night time breath. Cool.
We’re about to land, she’s wide awake and on her phone. Puts her gross blanket back on me so she has more room. Finally I get assertive. She then yanks her blanket, as if I am in the wrong for not wanting her things all over me and my space.
Plane lands, she gets up aggressively and charges off the plane with a foul attitude. Except she forgot to grab her purse. Normally, I would have said, “Oh hey, looks like you forgot something.” But not my job to help nasty entitled individuals. The flight attendants surely will catch her before she leaves the gate. Nope.
I see her walk through the food court and through the ground transportation doors. I wonder how far she’ll get without her purse
For context, I’m built for comfort not speed, but I fit into a plane seat just fine.
The scene: a cheap airline flight in which you get exactly what you pay for. This was just last night.
The characters: Seat D (aisle), middle aged man, average in every way (I assume); Seat E, my chubby self; Seat F (window), pleasant larger guy who did use a bit of “my seat” (which was fine, this flight was under $100 and is not forever).
Seat D became fidgety and started sighing loudly when we were delayed on the tarmac. No problem, Seat D probably felt frustrated.
Then, he took a selfie that included the whole row. Eh Seat D a bit weird, whatever. So I did look at his phone, he’s sending this pic to ppl complaining about how fat myself and “Frank” were. Eh. Life must be hard for Seat D.
Then I pulled out some hard candy (bc I’m fat, obvi, only fat ppl eat candy obvi). So he put his phone where I could see it, and typed “now the fat girl is getting her candy out”. Ok. Settle down. In the glance I got to see other texts describing how I was spilling into his seat. Incorrect but clearly life is hard for him.
So then I said, “you know, if you’re unhappy with your seat, bc I’m too fat for you, you can ask a flight attendant to move you :)” (all smiles, for real).
He said nothing, did nothing, but the fidgets and sighs stopped. He kept texting but out of my sight.
Fast forward to the middle of the flight, he’s snoozing, head flopped back, mouth open. So I took a picture of this gift to mankind. He slept until the last 20 min of the flight.
In the last 20 min, I edited the hell out of this photo, but in the pettiest way. No horns or anything. Just decorated the border with different flowers, then decided no, erased, did different deco. For 20 min. He’s just watching but didn’t say anything. So I tried some various captions, like “fat women scare me” “touching fat women makes me feel yucky inside” etc. I also verbally consulted with Frank about my choice of flower stickers.
