45 Shocking Moments When Rude Passengers Met Their Match Mid-Flight—and Didn’t See It Coming
A few more minutes pass and we see that she is peeking up and down the aisle like some shady hooligan, and she grabs her belongings and moves forward another row to the section she definitely did not pay for. We’re not okay with this. They say snitches get stitches, well sew me the fuck up then because I have no problem calling someone out.
I subtly flag down the flight attendant so my sister can proudly point out the shady twat in row 9. The flight attendant gives us a wink of approval and flawlessly squats down next to her to say “so this is actually the section I told you you couldn’t move up to so I’m gonna need you to stay in row 10 or further back mmmmkay? Thanks :)))))”. Obviously the woman couldn’t argue about it since she had been caught being naughty, so instead she returned to row 10 and began rambling to herself about how “if no ones using it why does it matter blah blah…” guess what, here’s why it matters: you did not pay for the upgraded seat. You don’t deserve a free upgrade more than anyone else. FURTHERmore you’re literally sleeping with headphones in and STILL have the whole row to yourself. I find that stereotypical middle-aged-falsely-entitled-white-woman absolutely infuriating.
To make things even better, some other dude snuck up and tried to do the same thing but again we weren’t having it. I think we’ve developed a pretty good system with the staff. If we see that the woman is being rude to the staff we’re fully prepared to publicly shame her.
TL;DR: last on my flight tried to sneak up to a fancier section and we alerted the flight crew. I have a zero tolerance policy towards dishonesty and shady behaviour, especially from grown adults. Set a better example for younger generations.
So this happened back in June, but told the story to some friends last night and they unanimously said I should share it here.
So on June 26, I was on a two hour flight and I had booked the emergency row for the extra legroom. When I got onto the plane, my window seat companion had stored all of her bags under not only her seat, but my seat as well. A polite request to move them didn’t suffice so the FA needed to get involved.
FA basically told her she had to move them from under my seat and walked away. She be- grudgingly did, swearing at me under her breath, the whole time, but just left them on the floor. Right before takeoff the FA came around again and told her she had to store them overhead and she refused to do so. After being threatened with being kicked off the plane she be did it, muttering under her breath that I was a jerk.
Over the next two hours as I try to work on my laptop, she got up to get out of her seat no less than 13 times (I counted). Each time she stood in the aisle, did a small stretch, smirk at me and then got back in her seat. Eight – 10 minutes later, repeat.
Once we took off, I noticed that she was reading a book. Being fed up after her eighth time getting up I paid the $11.30 to purchase Wi-Fi on the plane. Once connected, I logged onto Goodreads to get the spoilers and find out the ending of the book.
Here’s where the petty revenge comes in.
As we were starting our descent, I called over the flight attendant, and I let her know that I would need help disembarking, and as such would be remaining in my seat until all of the other passengers had disembarked. I could hear the audible, mumbling beside me, and once the flight attendant walked away, I turned over and gave her the exact same smirk she had been giving me.
Once the flight landed and docked at the gate and all other 30 something rows had gotten off, I slowly stood up, gathering my stuff and start exiting the plane. When I got to the business class section, I turned around, looked at her and destroyed the book for her; telling her major plot points and what the entire ending of the book was going to be. Then with a parting “have a great day I walked off.”
In my current job, I seem to travel a lot by plane.
One time, tired, I dragged my way onto a plane. Barely being able to keep myself awake, I stumbled down the aisle and found my seat.
I was so looking forward to just closing my eyes and falling asleep, but my seat wouldn’t retract and there wasn’t one of those fold-out neck support flappy things.
Then a guy in a swish business suite sits next to me and puts his arm on my armrest so it’s encroaching in my area.
OK.. Arms on lap, just try and sleep.
I feel his elbow nudge me… He’s poking my waist with his elbow which is well into my area!
My eyes feel so heavy…
I push back a bit, trying to regain my seat area. … He pushes back…
He’s got a smirk on his arrogant face!
I am just so tired… I can not even remotely deal with this…
I just push up against the window I’m sitting next to, and try and sleep in this uncomfortable position.
… As I move closer to the window, his arm inches into my area even more.
The jerk is playing with me… He squirms in his seat contentedly.
This goes on for about 20 minutes. Fuming, I try to sleep… too tired , too angry, too miserable.
