'He didn't touch my seat for the remainder of the flight': Kevin keeps grabbing passenger's seat on flight, passenger gets petty by grabbing his hand with wet fingers

'He didn't touch my seat for the remainder of the flight': Kevin keeps grabbing passenger's seat, passenger gets petty by grabbing his hand with wet fingers

It takes a special kind of person to disturb others on a flight. If it happens just once, of course, we let it slide. If it happens twice, we exchange glares to let that person know they need to get their act together. If it happens thrice or even more times, it's time to confront them or, at the very least, give them a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/IndependentClub1117 , who was unfortunately seated directly in front of a Kevin. Th…

'Grandpa...asks me to switch my aisle seat to a middle seat': Entitled man demands anxious flyer give up their seat so he can sit next to his wife

Who deserves the aisle seat while flying? The answer is the person who paid for it… usually. However, this anxious flyer got asked to give up their seat for a different one, and they weren't happy about how the interaction played out. If you get anxious while flying, you're not alone. It's like an endurance test, with one stressful situation after another. First you have to book your trip, which is usually simple enough. But on the day of your flight, you have to get to the airport with several…

'I don't even have kids': Guy blamed for unruly behavior of the kids seated next to him while their irresponsible parents were sitting behind them

There are two kinds of flights: decent ones and flightmares. If you're someone who genuinely enjoys getting on a plane, you're probably kidding yourself or perhaps you didn't have to pay for your own ticket. Now, if I seem jaded or pessimistic about all of this, let's be clear about a couple of things: (1) without fail, I am always in the last boarding group; it doesn't matter how much I have paid for these tickets because this always happens to be the case; (2) I am also always seated next to…

'Once on board, she keeps it secret': Flight attendant shows entitled passengers a movie of her choosing to halt their requests

This flight attendant had an interesting way of keeping her passengers from tiring her out. Being a flight attendant is a job that's often glorified. Flight attendants can travel anywhere in the world with their job. And how hard could it be to serve people chips and sodas? Pretty hard, as it turns out, thanks to passengers who don't respect flight attendants and treat them like they're just there to serve the almighty passenger. There's a specific order that flight attendants have to do their…

‘His face said it all’: Vegetarian passenger backtracks on request for ‘veggie meal’ after flight attendant complies, serving passenger ‘first class salad'

Flight attendants are usually pretty smiley, nice, and overall helpful, as long as you don't do something to leave them with a sour taste in their mouths. The same goes for anyone working in customer service, or hosting, of any kind. I can tell you that back when I was a waitress, a big grin and a kind word went a long way. If an entitled Karen showed up, I would not go out of my way to do a good job, but rather, I might have opted to be petty, and he or she would have been none the wiser. One…

'Either you pay 50€ or you somehow make the luggage 50g lighter': Passenger has to make bag lighter to check luggage, maliciously complies by eating chocolate

'Either you pay 50€ or you somehow make the luggage 50g lighter': Passenger has to make bag lighter to check luggage, maliciously complies by eating chocolate

Airport security is full of arbitrary rules. Having to pay ridiculous fees in order to make your luggage ever so slightly lighter is just one of many. Let's not forget that there is also all the TSA nonsense, and sometimes, the rules are wildly different depending on the airport. Sometimes you have to put all your bags in one cart, sometimes you have to separate everything, and sometimes they're so backed up that no one has to take their shoes off (which makes you question the effectiveness of…

'Don't bring my husband into this': Airline passenger told to move seats by a mother, flight attendant takes mother's side

'Don't bring my husband into this': Airline passenger told to move seats by a mother, flight attendant takes mother's side

Flying is stressful enough already — but these airline passengers just couldn't agree on their seating arrangements. When you're taking a vacation or a work trip, often times you'll need to book a flight. It can make it way faster to get to your destination, but it's not a perfect system. Flying is pricey, so you want to get the best experience possible after paying hundreds of dollars for your seat. That's what u/DinckinFlikka was expecting when he flew for a work trip. He had a good reason fo…

'That child has been screaming for 40 minutes!': Kevin has screaming match with baby on flight, causes everyone to get deplaned

Being stuck on a plane with a screaming baby is certainly headache-inducing, but it is never reason enough to throw your own tantrum. Babies get a free pass when it comes to sobbing uncontrollably because most of the time, they have no idea what's even happening. Grown men, on the other hand, do not get to make everyone's flight experience a complex mess and a half. But that's exactly what this Kevin did in this viral video . You can even see the passenger seated next to him, who appears to be…

'She huffs and puffs and demands we make 7 dozen fresh donuts': 20+ Times that privileged people were introduced to real-world problems

If you've ever had a roommate who doesn't know how to cook or clean since their mom always did that for them, these stories are for you. Some people are born into entitled families , or are born with an immense amount of privilege. As a kid, their parents do everything for them. Then, when the kid grows up and embarks upon their journey into adulthood, it's clear that they're spoiled and clueless about how the real world actually works.

'The golden rule of flying': Airline passenger gets surprise upgrade for being kind and patient, while fellow passengers who Karen-ed him get secretly downgraded

'The golden rule of flying': Airline passenger gets surprise upgrade for being kind and patient, while fellow passengers who Karen-ed him get secretly downgraded

You might have heard from a wise person once that the golden rule of life is: “Don't be a jerk." Well, we agree with that person and is applies to many other life experiences. For example, flying. When you are going on a trip and have to fly, going to the airport can be stressful for everyone involved. You don't know the situation of each passenger or employee. So, it's best to approach it with kindness and patience, or else everybody, including yourself, is going to have a bad time. A perfect…

‘Surgeon smiled and told me not to worry’: Surgeon grants patient 18 months' worth of business-class flights, amounting to $20,000 in company expenses

‘Surgeon smiled and told me not to worry’: Surgeon grants patient 18 months' worth of business-class flights, amounting to $20,000 in company expenses

If you comply with company rules, then you're all set and good to go, right? Well, not always. Sometimes your circumstances change, and what I mean by that is there can be a metamorphosis, a transformation, from old, to new, to ugly. In even simpler terms, new authority sucks. One person got a set of instructions, hot off the press, that didn't resemble the instructions they were used to in the past, and those instructions led to a whole lot of cash being extracted from company expenses. u/Impo…

‘You didn’t do your job, now you won't get one': Receptionist fails to make travel reservations for supervisor, supervisor opens her own company and refuses to hire her

People you work with will have certain expectations of you, and when given the opportunity, can cause a few inconveniences if and when you don't meet said expectations… in other words, people like to be petty. In this case, OP got as petty as petty can get, when she got a shot at making a former coworker's life a little harder than it needed to be. Back in the day, OP was working as a supervisor at a company, and her job included a lot of travel. There was a conference she needed to get to, so…

Traveler Gets Back at Obnoxious Neighbors on His Flight by Tying Their Shoelaces to the Seat in an Unbreakable Knot

To a seasoned traveler, flight comforts are sacred and everyone has their little rituals that help dull their mind enough to endure 8 hours of sitting in the same confined seat. Usually those rituals include a little bit of peace and quiet to reach a meditative state, but when you're sitting next to a drunken human toddler on a long flight, tensions are poised to fly high.
