Entitled 18-year-old and Karen Mom keep kicking airplane passenger's seat during the whole flight, he gets even when it's time to deplane: 'Patience is a virtue'

Entitled 18-year-old and Karen Mom keep kicking airplane passenger's seat during the whole flight, he gets even when it's time to deplane: 'Patience is a virtue'

The worst kinds of people are the ones who do not follow basic flight etiquette. This entitled 18-year-old and her Karen mother were certainly old enough to know better. They were on the same nine-hour international flight as this Redditor and would not stop kicking his seat and accidentally hitting him in the head with their jackets the entire time. By the time the flight ended, the original poster (OP) knew he had a small window to get some much-needed petty revenge. Of course, the teenager a…

‘They held up an entire flight’: Entitled family causes massive line at airport as they demand to check in 16 bags, leading to a dispute when the flight gets delayed

‘They held up an entire flight’: Entitled family causes massive line at airport as they demand to check in 16 bags, leading to a dispute when the flight gets delayed

As much as we all look forward to getting on a plane and going on vacation, no one likes the first part of the journey to their destination—the airport lines. Not one person enjoys arriving at the airport two hours (at least) before their flight and moving from one line to another until they actually board their flight. It is even more annoying when there is some holdup and you end up standing in one line forever, which is what happened to the passenger in this story. They had to wait for aroun…

Passenger throws tantrum after missing flight, gets booked for flight 12 hours later by disgruntled gate agent: '[She] deliberately and deservedly made him wait for 12 hours'

It doesn't hurt to be nice or at least kind to people who are just doing their job. Oftentimes, your complaint with their service will have more to do with the organization and its cost-saving policies rather than with the individual themself. And this is important to remember because a lot of people—well, they don't think about it at all. Customer service agents are no strangers to verbal mistreatment from customers. Don't get it wrong; customer service agents can be prone to being just as mis…

'If they had just been a little kinder I would have let them know': Impatient Karens push passenger at security, then forget their laptop

Airport security can bring out the worst in people. Unfortunately for this passenger, he had to endure a packed security line where every flight was getting delayed and people were gracious enough to let folks with less time before their flights to get to the front of the line. Unfortunately, not everyone was gracious, and this passenger, who was already dealing with time constraints, was pushed and shoved by two impatient Karens, who just so happened to be on the same flight. After the Karens…

Entitled Male Karen pays for second seat on airplane for extra space, demands refunds when he learns the plane is mostly empty

Airlines have never exactly been the most transparent. Unfortunately for this passenger, he came to understand this fact far too late. He arrived at the airport and demanded a second seat because he insisted that he needed the extra room. The airline employee tried to explain that this wouldn't be necessary and that he would have plenty of room on the flight, but the impatient and entitled male Karen customer insisted that he needed the extra seat. Little did he know, when the lady at the airli…

'Oh okay. Good luck with that, bud': Waiter calls out "we have somewhere to be in an hour" diners

Oh, you have to be at the airport in 90 minutes, but you have time for a sit-down meal at a restaurant? Tell me more. Tell me why you think that's a good choice. International flights can cause long lines to get through security---these notoriously take ages to get through. Oh, you're only 25 minutes from the airport? I'm sure there will be no traffic, red lights, or slow drivers to stop you from getting on your flight. Truly, if you decide to have a sit-down meal outside the airport when you h…

'I got a letter from the HOA... demanding I move my plane': Lakefront cottage dweller gets in squabble with HOA over their "seaplane and buoys"

This person is really living the dream: they have a lakefront cottage and their own seaplane! That sounds like a cozy life: they inherited their place from a family member, and they're not even required to join their local homeowner's association . Just because you aren't part of this HOA, doesn't mean they won't still try to bug you! The HOA members are certain that they could make this dude move the seaplane.

This employee , unfortunately, found themselves on the same flight as their boss after a business trip. The two were originally meant to be seated together, until the employee received a first class upgrade because, although the company booked the original ticket, the employee often flies with this airline and uses their credit card. However, that was not enough of an explanatio…

Gucci Karen throws tantrum when business class passenger won't switch seats with her 9-year-old in economy

What kind of mother books a first-class seat for herself, leaving her 9-year-old in coach, and then proceeds to make it seem like this is all someone else's fault? That someone else, in this instance, would be this unfortunate passenger in business class. The Karen approached him and asked if he would be willing to switch seats with her son, and he was willing at first… that is, until he learned that her son was all the way back in coach. Now, most of us cannot relate to the business class pass…
