45 Shocking Moments When Rude Passengers Met Their Match Mid-Flight—and Didn’t See It Coming

Happened just now. Sitting on a plane on that one airline that doesn’t have assigned seating. I was one of the last people on the plane, maybe 10 more behind me. I get on and the first row of seats where there is massive legroom only has one dude sitting there. He’s sprawled all his stuff out so he can discourage people from sitting in that row, thus giving him a row of 3 seats to himself. He has his iPad on the seat in the middle and he was sitting by the window. I asked the flight attendant if I could take one of the seats and he asked the prick to move some of his stuff so I can sit down. He moves his trash off the aisle seat, but leaves the iPad in the middle.

A poor lady gets on after me and has to carry all her stuff to the back because this jerk hat won’t move is iPad. Finally he picked it up to do something on it, but set his 3/4 full coffee cup in its place. I couldn’t resist the urge and while he was looking at his iPad, I “accidentally” hit it with my elbow and knocked it over spilling coffee onto his seat, and watched as it pooled up right under his butt. I apologized profusely of course, and helped him clean it up.

Just as we got done cleaning it up a dude that was around 6’3″ and pushing 260 got on the plane late and sat in the middle seat. Now neither of us have as much space, but it was totally satisfying.

This story was over 5 years ago, so details might be a little jumbled. Also on phone so sorry about formatting.

When I was younger my dad moved to China and me and my brother would visit him every year, paying for the airline to chaperone us. We just boarded the plane for and 11-12 hour flight, and the man in front of me decided to lean his seat all the way back. I was young so leg room wasn’t too bad for me, but it made it harder to watch movies, which annoyed me. Want to be responsible, I asked the stewardess, who was assigned to look after us, if she could ask him to move the seat up, which she did but said once the plane was in the air she couldn’t do much. Once we were in the air, he proceeded to lean his chair back, and ignored me when I asked him to move it up. So I decided to stick my legs up and use his chair almost like a leg press. After a lot of annoyed looks from him, he got a stewardess, who after seeing what was happening, said she would try and sort it, but because i was a kid she couldn’t do much. After a while he decided that leaning back, wasn’t worth the amateur back massage and gave up.

On this same flight, my younger brother (around 8 at the time) was loudly eating crisps and the man’s wife tried to ask him to be quiet, which he ignored, so she tried to reach back and slap his leg. Him being a little devil as a kid, decided that he would bit her as hard as she could. The story ended very similar to the first.
