'I'll stop when I can put my seat back': Traveler faces off with tall dude in squabble over airplane space

These travelers couldn't agree on who deserves to have leg room. They ended up getting in an argument, which u/earthshaker495 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance. This story takes place aboard a long haul flight — the OP was flying from Los Angeles to Singapore, a 16 hour journey. You'd certainly need to sleep and eat at least two meals aboard a flight that long. Long flights can feel endless — you can watch several full movies, only to realize you still have eight hours left of your flight. So you…

'I had to "apologize"': Passenger encounters woman playing loud music on her phone while on an airplane

'I had to "apologize"... through gritted teeth': Passenger confronts woman playing loud music on her phone while on an airplane

Genuine question for those who play music out loud in public places : why do you do it? Whenever I see people walking around blasting music on their phones , I usually assume they don't have headphones. From my personal experience, I know how easy it is to break, lose, or forget your headphones, leaving you without audio entertainment for a day. How annoying! Maybe that person blasting music on the train works several jobs and doesn't have a lot of personal time to enjoy music in their own home…

'We're sorry for any disappointment': Dude's Twitter thread sparks online debate around popular Southwest Airlines "wheelchair scam"

Who wants to be sitting on an airline for longer than they have to? Well—due to Southwest's unique seating arrangement, where no seats are assigned, and all seats are first-come-first-serve, the less honest among us are hugely incentivized to vie for priority boarding without having to fork out extra for it. The way people do this is by asking for a wheelchair before they arrive at their gate, which qualifies them for priority boarding from the airline. This frustrated passenger hit out against…

'Karma is real': Couple gets what they deserve after harassing their chubby neighbor on a plane; flight attendants enjoy petty revenge in the form of a cold shoulder and TSA bombardment

Nobody likes being in a plane. The food is gross, the air is stale, and for some reason, you're always fighting your neighbors for every spare inch of leg room. But even when you're vying for space between an ex-football player and a woman holding a screaming newborn, it's still far worse to be caught in the cross-hairs of a Karen on a tirade.

'My MIL stood horrified in the middle of our living room': Couple kicks MIL from their house after she ruins a suitcase

Unpacking after a trip is something you either do as soon as you get home, or three weeks later, and those are the only options. Sometimes, you get back from a trip and put the entire suitcase away ASAP so that you can chill out and unwind after the journey. Other times, you've had so much fun that you're too tired to put away your luggage, and you just ignore it for a while until you gather the strength to put your stuff away . Anyway, this person's MIL is in that first category of people. She…

Update: 'She wanted to talk to me about my “lack of respect for protocol”': Woman quits job after boss demands her first class seat

Traveling for work purposes certainly has its perks and its drawbacks. On the one hand, you get to see new parts of the world, network to expand your business, and get a break from your normal day to day life.

Without password sharing for movie streaming services, how will humanity survive? Families are being torn apart as some streaming services have ceased allowing families to share passwords with each other.

Indeed, the younger generations are rolling their eyes and switching to the next cheapest service. That's just one of the mildly annoying things people sh…
