‘I put plane passenger in her place – she needed to learn a lesson’

A woman has hit out at an ‘entitled’ plane passenger who ruined her eight-hour flight to London with poor etiquette.

She detailed her ordeal on Reddit, explaining she was already exhausted from a six-hour journey from Asia and hoped to catch some sleep on her connecting flight via the Middle East.

However, her plans were thwarted by a fellow passenger’s lack of manners.

She wrote: “The woman behind me had her feet, shoes and all, propped up on the back of my seat, wedged into the narrow gap between the window and the seat. The first time I tried to address it, I just pointed to her feet and said, ‘Excuse me?’ She immediately snapped, ‘What?? What?’ in a really rude tone.

“I was so taken aback that I just sank back into my seat and said nothing. She kept her feet there the entire time.”

After enduring four hours of this discomfort, she decided to take a stand.

She continued: “I stood up on my seat, turned around, and told her to move her feet. She started arguing with me, but this time I raised my voice.

“I think she didn’t expect me to push back, because eventually her partner, who had been laughing at my earlier attempt, told her to remove her feet, and she reluctantly did.

“I had a massive headache, and every time I leaned my head toward the window to sleep, I was terrified my hair would touch her shoes.

“I have OCD about that sort of thing. I couldn’t rest the whole time until she finally moved them.”

Seeking validation, she turned to social media users for their opinions on the matter.

One user responded to her post, saying: “Oh wow. This is disgusting. You could have called the steward at the beginning and they would have addressed this quickly though.”

Another chimed in: “People now are so rude and entitled. I would have asked once, you shouldn’t need to ask but once then rung the bell. If that failed I’d have poured my drink on her dirty feet.”

A third user commented: “You’re all stuck in the cabin together, the least anyone can do is be considerate to those seated around them, it’s seriously not that hard.”

Another user added: “The earlier flight and headache are irrelevant and would only matter if you needed to excuse being a bit short tempered.

“You don’t need an excuse. You are absolutely not the a**hole here and I think you showed remarkable patience to put up with this woman for four hours. She’s an a**hole and her partner is frightened of her.”
