Air traveler says seat squatter shamed her after attempting to steal window seat

One flyer mentioned she not too long ago encountered a seat squatter on her flight and claimed she was shamed for asking the particular person to maneuver.

Within the discussion board “r/delta” on Reddit, the submit was titled, “Man takes my window seat in lieu of his own window seat. On purpose.”

“I boarded my 3-hour Delta flight toward the middle of boarding, yet still in flow with my zone. The entire time I’m thinking, ‘I pray no one’s in my seat!’ I’m seated in C+ (F) side, which is a window seat – my personal preference,” the submit learn.

FLIGHT PASSENGER SAYS TRAVELER SENT $150 OVER VENMO IN SWAP FOR AISLE SEAT

The person mentioned that after she approached her aisle, she noticed a person sitting in her seat.

“I reconfirm my seat assignment and politely say, ‘Sir, I think you’re in my seat.’ He motions with his hand toward the (A) window seat on the opposite side of the same aisle and says, ‘Take that one,’” the person continued.

Social media customers shared ideas a few passenger (not pictured) who tried to steal a fellow flyer’s window seat on an airplane. (iStock)

The person mentioned that after she regarded over on the man’s rightful seat, there was a “linebacker-built” male sitting within the center. 

“I panned back at the ‘gentleman’ and replied, ‘No, I’d like to take my seat if you don’t mind.’ What he said next made me know he was calculated in his actions. He replied, ‘Fine, if you want to make three men get up so you can sit here’ and huffed,” she wrote in her submit.

The person continued, “I didn’t say a word, I just stood there until one by one, they started to shuffle and get up and move to allow me to sit in MY seat. The absolute nerve and ‘guilt’ attempt.”

FLIGHT PASSENGER ‘FINALLY’ REJECTS SEAT-SWAP REQUEST, TRIGGERS SOCIAL MEDIA DEBATE

“The ‘make men move’ comment silently infuriated me! I knew immediately why he chose to ignore his seat and take the opposite window seat. He’d already decided he would make the poor sap [who came] along ‘later’ just take the remaining opposite window seat without question,” the submit mentioned. 

Reddit customers took to the feedback part to debate the encounter.

“YOU’RE making three men move, not me,” wrote one person. 

“This entitlement will continue as long as people don’t stand up for themselves. Well done,” one other person mentioned.

“His actions made ‘men have to move,’” one particular person commented.

“I don’t tolerate seat swaps. Period,” mentioned one other person.

“The FA’s [flight attendants] rarely intervene,” mentioned one.

“[Squatter] encounters often lead to delays that [can] cascade, leading to missed connections and frustrated passengers throughout the cabin,” mentioned a Texas-based creator of a journey guide. (iStock)

“I will never forget when something similar happened to me and my husband. The man in [a window seat] was UPSET [when] my husband, the man, took the middle seat and even made a comment about how he should [take] the aisle,” one other particular person commented.

“Let the flight attendant handle it. Nobody wants to go viral in a reel titled, ‘Passenger meltdown at 30,000 feet,’” Blewett suggested. 

He mentioned sitting in another person’s seat may cause disruptions to an complete flight.

“[Squatter] encounters often lead to delays that [can] cascade, leading to missed connections and frustrated passengers throughout the cabin,” Blewett added.

Blewett mentioned an individual can often determine the distinction between an incidental seat squatter and somebody who’s attempting to self-upgrade if the particular person is unwilling to point out their boarding go.
