A man spent nine hours plotting his revenge on an ‘entitled’ teenager who kept kicking his seat throughout their flight – and says it went off without a hitch. The passenger, who was flying from the UK to America, explained how he was seated next to a mum and her teenage daughter, who he estimated to be around 18-years-old.
He assumed they’d keep themselves to themselves throughout the nine-hour flight – but much to his disappointment, he was wrong. He said on Reddit: “The whole flight the daughter had her shoes off and kept elbowing and kicking me with her stinky sock feet while talking loudly. At one point I was asleep and the daughter kicked me awake and slapped me with her jacket.
“Right before landing the two of them were physically fighting, play or not, I got hit a few times and told them to be civilized.” Wanting to teach them a lesson, he decided to stop them in their tracks when they tried to disembark.
He added: “As soon as the fasten seat belt sign came off, they got up and obviously were trying to force their way off the plane early (we were in 37G-J, very back of the plane). I threw down my table and kept watching my programme, trapping them, and told them ‘Patience is a virtue, we’ll be last off anyway.’ They were not pleased.”
He waited until the very last second to retrieve his bag from the overhead locker before putting it on his seat to block their path once again. He added: “I ‘accidentally’ hit the daughter with my jacket on the way out of the overhead keeping her back. There was a very large family behind us that made their way behind me in the aisle blocking them in again. I didn’t see them at baggage until five minutes after I made it.”
Praising him for his petty revenge, one user said: “Petty revenge is best served with patience.” Another user added: “People like this make me wish I could downvote them in real life.” A third user said: “Small inconveniences, bravo.” One more user added: “Very British revenge. Full marks!”
