When Privilege Takes Flight: Shocking Moments Entitled Passengers Faced at 30,000 Feet

To my surprise, nobody said anything and continued to let those guys yap. I plug in my headphones and try to sleep through the flight hoping I wake up by the time we landed in Incheon Airport.

6 hours later, I wake up after falling asleep with my AirPods in noise cancellation mode, I remove my headphones, and these jerks are STILL TALKING!!! At that point my patience was running thin, and I get up to tell them that they need to shut up because everyone here has grown tired of their yapping and that nobody cared about his YouTube channel. To which they looked at me weird and said “We’re literally not bothering anyone” and to which I responded saying “You clearly cannot read a room, because the whole reason why nobody else has said anything is because they are afraid to say something. But look how everyone else is trying to cover their ears and side eyeing you, because all you do is sitting here bragging about how much money you are making, like good for you, now shut up and let the rest of us sleep!”

Before the YouTuber could say anything in return, a flight attendant intervenes and tells both of us to calm down, and tells the YouTuber and his buddies that they need to keep it down because everyone else is trying to sleep. Like FINALLY! Took you a whole 8 hours for someone to speak up just for you to say something? Geez! The bystander effect is real!

Not even 30 minutes later, the YouTubers buddy sitting next to him decides to play a movie on the TV behind my seat WITHOUT headphones at Max volume (edit: I’m going to assume he had a speaker or an IPad because Airplane seats typically don’t have speakers.) doing that on purpose to be a jerk head.

Thankfully, shortly after he did that, the same flight attendant told him that he needed to plug in his headphones, otherwise he would need to turn it off. And right after she walked away he screamed out calling her a “B Word” to which that made everyone in the plane shoot him and his friends a death glare.

A few hours later, and we finally land in Incheon Airport, and I could hear everyone on the plane talking about how sick and tired they were of those guys and how even the ones in BUSINESS CLASS could hear them! As we got off, few of them thanked me for standing up to them, But even when it was all said and done, it made me feel bad for those who will have to endure them in their plane to Thailand, since they were only stopping by South Korea for a layover.

All in all, even if you’re flying economy, don’t be an inconsiderate jerk hole to the rest of the people flying, ESPECIALLY if it’s a 12 hour flight! And you know, for some entitled YouTuber who claims he has soooo much money, then why is he flying economy disturbing everyone else? Why? To brag? Or maybe a lot of what he was saying was just bull. Either way, screw him, and his annoying friends.

“There is almost this social effect that can happen within a transient environment where people think things like, ‘Oh, well, I won’t ever see them again, so they’ll get over it,’” Jansen told Bored Panda. “Unfortunately, the temporary nature of the flight can significantly affect an individual’s sensitivity to their surroundings.”

36 Entitled People Who Got A Reality Check At 30,000 Feet Yesterday I was flying home for my grandma’s funeral. I place my bag in the overhead compartment and sit in my seat.

Lady (In the middle seat): Hey, would you like to switch me seats?

Me: NOPE. I do not like the middle seat. Me: And that is why I paid extra to make sure I got this aisle seat.

Lady: What?! You didn’t pay extra! My husband has an aisle seat and he didn’t pay extra.

Me: Lucky him.

Lady: But I’m going to need to get up to go to the bathroom a lot.

Me: As someone in the aisle seat, I understand that is a possibility. Just let me know when you need to get up.

Lady: 😠

She had two opportunities to select a seat, one when she bought a ticket, and another while checking in. And the airlines explain this concept multiple times. It’s not my fault you can’t read.

Another plausible reason is anticipating a long, uncomfortable experience. According to travel expert and Rosotravel founder Robert Sekscinski, the confinement of flying tends to bring out the “self” in each person.

I wanted to engage the woman in a conversation. My wife stopped me. Probably good thing. The attendants would have had to throw me off the plane after I was done.

“The fact that many passengers experience some form of discomfort during flights-whether it be limited legroom, flight delays, a screaming baby next to them, etc.-can lead individuals to view their flight solely based upon their individual needs and concerns,” Sekscinski explained. “As opposed to being aware of all other passengers who share the same restrictions.”
