And I love the " oh, it's just right here!" middle seat explanation

She was the seat robber.

Just sitting there in the first place, the answer is simply NO!

💯

yep! she should have found the person before the flight and asked, asked the flight personnel, or simply booked it that way in the reservation!!! She just assumed she would get her way and went ahead and did it without permission. They say "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" but not in this situation!

You would be surprised how the media would usually side with a mother regardless of the truth!

Simply unbelievable the absolute gall to be upset about a spot you didn't pay for Right on for keeping your seat. Hell if it means so much pay in advance for the seat you want. Geez people.

It’s sad that she even felt like she had to explain and justify why she wanted the seat she PAID for!

agreed

That was my first thought. She doesn't need to 'need' the seat for a health issue or whatever. It's HER seat.

Amen

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯

Spot on. Its just plain RUDE. But these people go right on the offence.

Agree your seat is your

That's a good one 😂😂

😂😂😂

The best! Way to go!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Internet award of the day!!!! 🏆

That response made me laugh so hard! It also sent his gf a message that sitting next to her was not worth $50. WTH?

Exactly,lol!

Yeah, given that she's lazy enough not to book in advance to select an entire row, and is selfish enough to think she just unilaterally swap a -worst, least expensive- middle seat for the -best, most expensive- window seat, hoping that "it's easier to get forgiveness than permission" would pay off (probably again after many other times), tells me she's not a great person. They were probably totally embarrassed by her shamelessness. Narcissism, whaddya gonna do. If not for the kids I would have shown her face and shamed her publicly.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Correct!

😂😂😂😂

No wrong on yr side, lady

100% correct

Using this... lol

Same!

What an airline bumps people or change their seat that’s not planning errors. Airlines are supposed to say families together, especially with underage children which under 16 is still under age. So that was their error not the mothers. But if the kids were being kids, everyone will be asking Where is the mother?

that line is from Family Guy

I don’t think air likes do that because me and my husband planned and paid extra to have our seats together we are going in may of this year with our 2 year old

Bam!

Brilliant! My father always did the same thing. He's 6'3" and no way he could fit in a normal seat other than the first one.

Or they could have paid for a front seat knowing she needed more room?

But really it's shocking, why didn't he switch with her??

@@andiidoode Do you mean the passenger or the husband? The passenger paid extra so he could be comfortable on the flight. The husband, I'm not sure why he didn't switch seats with her. He should have taken the baby at least.

Wow. We're you calm or freaking out internally?

came here to say this too

I’ve never met a travel agent who would say you can sit wherever you want.

wtf are you talking about, she sat beside her children and moved when asked, didn't bitch didn't say a word, maybe she was hoping that nobody showed for that seat, nobody here was acting entitled, in fact the only problem i seen here was some snob bitch making a big deal out of it for no reason at all, in fact if she were any kind of decent human she would have forgone her bitch snob attitude much like yours and let a family sit together for a plane ride, jesus christ all we hear is bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch rom people like you, i absolutely would have traded seats its the only decent thing to do in a case like that duh

I wouldn't even switch for an infant or a disables child. Not my problem, my seat is my seat

Any infant gets to be in the lap of the mother. That is a none issue and not a realistic scenario. No infant has their own seat.

If I got a window Seat it's my seat ....

Love the son’s response!❤

She is a mom. People are missing the whole picture. She was panicking some. She was hoping she could get a swap. To me, she should have swapped with the older sibling or just watch a movie or something.

If she had lied to me she would have been moved when I discovered it. You still had the ticket to that seat. Fortunately it worked out for you.

Don't think that was the case airlines suck!

What did the mother do. But moved when she was asked too. It’s only this women who said she was unhappy. She didn’t say anything so why is this women even talking about it. I’d offer my seat as a mother. And would have no problem giving up my window seat I love too. Why because normal people want families sitting together. It’s not just about sitting to visit. I’m sorry but I want my daughter or twin sons close to me if there is ever a time for that it’s a plane ride. They can be scary fir children. And adults. Let’s be real. Remember here the mother said nithing and moved. Period

Her issues supersede everyone else, the definition of a Karen.

@@nttbwps6.-_ How do I block you from ever talking to me ever again in life?

@@OrangeArdmore you’ll live 😊

If I was alone in a plane and a situation like that happened to me, I would gladly offer you (or anyone else) to switch seats, especially more if my seat is in the middle one, which is the one I hate the most 😆. I flew once with a colleague, and let's say his hygiene was not top, yeah, my nose felt that. On the last leg, we were not seated side by side and I was quite happy about it. Before takeoff, we chat a bit and the guy next to me ask: "Do you want to switch seats to be next to your colleague?". I told him "No thank you, I will try to sleep anyway." I lied of course🤣

Yup! Too many people see single women as just larger versions of little girls to be bossed around and talked down to.

Some People with kids really think others need to inconvenience themselves to make their parenting easier.

​@@davidwalesby2426how many seat you ever paid for and gave up you geek.

I would switch if she waited until I got on and then ASKED. But to just take my seat because you think you're someone special... The lessons you never forget are always the hard ones.

Oo mee you single lolz

@@davidwalesby2426it was her seat she paid for it the entitled one was definitely the mom 😂

Same thing happened to me. I said no and they were mad at me the whole flight.

Same here, I will never give up my seat for anyting less than what I struggled to board for.

You notice no one ever offers you a BETTER seat so they can come back and sit in the middle seat next to their spouse. It's always the spouse with the worse seat that thinks you should swap

pulling the mom card. everyone has a card

I would want to travel with my children! Therefore I would book ahead and pay the extra money so I could!

Possibly because they don't want to pay a booking extra to pre book being together.It's the complete self interest/selfishness that gets me

Entitlement

Most of us don't.... The people that do were selfish and arrogant BEFORE they had children.

That's the whole point! She doesn't want to pay this money; she expects somebody else gives up their seat, so she can save money!

@@xpsxps1339 and for that behaviour, she's trifling 😪

Why does it cost more money?

@@gaoxiaen1 join the 21st century, kiddo... [seat-selection is extra $$... and why? cuz airlines can]

@@gaoxiaen1 Because airlines realised that people are willing to pay so another way to make a buck...

Yep! Once I learned that almost every airline will absolutely work with parents who NEED to sit by younger children or kids with needs, I stopped having as much empathy. These parents simply didn't want to pay extra to sit with their kids. And if the kids are old enough, they know they can't get away with not paying and then relying on the airline to accommodate them. I am fully sympathetic with last minute trips (maybe a family emergency or funeral, etc...) where parents simply can't find 3 open seats together, but again, in those cases, if you call the airline or get there early and go to the gate agent or check in agent, they will almost always be able to get you seated together in a necessary situation. I have severe flight anxiety, and having my seat pre-selected is one way I help to mitigate it. I don't mind switching for an equivalent seat within a few rows of where I booked, but otherwise, it's not my problem. And I'm not generally that type of person either, but airfare costs time and money in order to be comfortable, and I spend a significant amount of time researching flight options and seat availability before choosing a flight. I don't think I owe it to someone else with poor planning skills to be uncomfortable for an expensive flight.

Ya the mom should fly southwest then.

Yeah, rude AF! I'm a jet mechanic for Delta and people do the weirdest most inconsiderate stuff you can imagine. I see it all day, every time I'm at the gate working and it's still hard to believe!

I had the same thing happen to me. Two business men were sitting together and when I approached my seat and told the one man he was sitting in my seat he told me that I could take the seat behind mine which was his. He did not even ask me. They continued to engage in conversation, laughing etc. So arrogant.

​@@cindyfreihofer2093I would have made him move.

Having kids is a choice don’t burden other people with your poor decisions

It would have been more acceptable if she had said I was hoping we could swap seats.

Her whole approach and tone as if the deal was already made is INCREDIBLE manipulative.

@@d-1381 The problem is, nobody here knows how it actually happened. What was actually being said by each party, and how!!! Believing one side without observing the situation at least on video is very foolish! Every side is going to present the situation in the light most favorable to them. For all I know, this entitled selfish woman might be lying, abusing the fact that the whole encounter was not taped on video… I would not believe a single word coming out of her mouth. She has a vested interest! Use critical thinking, people! Don't just believe somebody because they say so... 🙄🤯🙄🙄🙄 Do you know how easy it is to deceive people today, especially the gullible and naïve Americans? It's not even funny.

It's the opposite so what I do at work sometimes. I ask for a day off like last minute, but I can ask. If I get a no, so be it. Same here, she can ask. But if you don't get the answer you want, deal with it.

Yeah like sit in your seat and wait for the person to come to their seat and ask them nicely. If they say no respect it and I can understand being annoyed at the airline if they did plan ahead and it was a mistake but that’s assuming you did plan ahead and speak to the gate agent. I believe where this got rude was that she was already sitting in this woman’s seat thinking it’s a done deal.

Maybe but I had a 14 year old who got nervous when he learned that we were not sitting next to each other and wanted me to switch our seats. We were sitting in aisle seats in the same row. When we got on he said that he had not understood that. Anyway my point is yes she wanted it for herself but had reason to think the children especially the 12 year old would like it better. The 15 year old was totally embarrassed by her presumption and attempt to make it look like she was put out on her children's behave.

😢 you poor thing. Your 14 year old sounds so brave. Two generations ago 14-18 year olds went and fought in WW1 and saved the world. Now they can’t fly in an isle seat because mommy is one row away and that’s, terrifying. Truly, you are brave and amazing! Stunning and brave.

@@kingsnoob4546forreal, but still, I don’t remember being that much of a pxssy at 14 years of age Must be some suburban mentality

Yep, she did not want to be stuck in a middle seat with people she didn't know.

It was your seat. Enough said!

Exactly! Stop being cheap people. And if you can't afford it, then don't travel. I just flew an international trip with my 4 kids under the age of 7, along with my husband and mother. The kids were already assigned next to me per the airline, but we paid extra to ensure my mom and husband were next to us as well. You cannot assume you'll get those seats or people will move for you.

Thank you. Just because they choose to have kids, they think " its for the kids ". That no longer flies . The airlines need Family Flights . Leave us solo travelers alone

Not always a guarantee, unfortunately. We flew last month w/ our 9 month old and American Airlines still split up our family the night before without warning and refused to put us together bc the flight was full. The only reason we got from the airline was that the plane changed and the system wasn't "smart enough to keep families together". We purchased more and were still booted...so keep an open mind here lol

@@ldavis798 Did you pre select your seats and then they separated you? We fly often and have never been bumped from our preselected seats, especially because I pay an upgraded prices for the seat selection.

@@kristhaaan yea we did & my husband has really good status for priority with American Airlines (still didn't matter), We had never known it to be a thing either and we were so upset and surprised that the airline couldn't do a thing about it. They empathized with us and agreed it was wrong but they didn't do anything about it. We even paid for the more legroom seats, picked a window so that I could hold our baby to sleep and we still got split up, even with an infant.

The woman b!tching about her entitlement to the seat and not letting the mom and children sitting together is not sensitive or kind. The gall of entitlement of this woman for lack of compassion and not swapping seats so they could sit with their mom.

@@grahamlucas2712yes because the mom was soooooo far away. The seat right behind them is soooooo not close to them. And because that lady tooootaly didn’t pay extra to have her window seat. Because that’s not how the American economy works noooooooo. Sure let me give up my seat that I paid 50 to 100 dollars extra for suuuuure. If the lady really cared that much about her kid she would have paid extra.

@@grahamlucas2712 Well since the woman who PURCHASED the option to have a window seat PAID the EXTRA she is not insensitive. Maybe mom shouldn't be so CHEAP and learn how to book EARLY. ITs people like you and the woman who had to sit behind her kids that are the entitled ones.

​@cotton_candy4870 Plus, what do these idiots think is going to happen to their kids? A bear attack? The kids were 11ish and 15ish, and they can't SIT without supervision? These helicopter parents are THE WORST! My sister and I flew to visit relatives without ANY supervision when we were younger than that. It's no wonder kids these days grow up depressed and unable to cope with the slightest inconvenience - they've been coddled too much, for too long! I don't even care whether the woman paid for the seat. If that's her seat, then the Mom moves. If she argues, I'd simply reply, "That sounds like an issue between you and the airline. I suggest you take it up with them, AFTER you vacate my seat."

@@toddmacadam3888 Tod as your last name suggests. You are either nuts or the bedrock of a road to nowhere? This self entitled Karen would probably do the same thing if she had kids as this mom to be with her kids.

And the Need of this lady to justify and validate why she didn't want to swap ...no need

You did the right thing.

LMAO, the audacity. I would have been like " Okay... I don't actually care that you don't want your assigned seat, that's not my business. However this seat that I paid for is so move your ass away tf". I'm happy the flight attendant took care of it for you lol.

I would’ve him “that sounds like a you problem” 😂

good for you

As long as you paid for the seat, with your money and not his,he needs to move his stupid ass to his assigned seat!! Besides, there's always an option to choose the particular seating area,one is comfortable with,so his excuse was bogus and silly.

I guess they probably have to give you training in that job to deal with these kinds of people. It's nice to travel but I'm not sure that's a job I'd want

Ikr? They're old enough to be home alone, they were fine with their mom being a single row behind!!

I agree, but you should not assume a child "looks" old enough to do something. Kids can have unseen issues, like autism, that could affect how they act or need to be treated long beyond how they may look for their age. Clearly that wasn't the case here, just saying, we can't assume someones abilities based on "looks." If that was this womans issue she most certainly would have ensured she was sitting with her kids. The mother in this case was acting entitled assuming she will just figure it all out on the plane, that her poor planning or not wanting to pay for seat priority could be someone elses problem.

If the children had special needs the parent can indicate that when booking and there are airline protocols to ensure they are together. It isnt a passengers or flight attendants responsibility. The seat was paid for and the woman had. a right to sit in her seat regardless of the kids.

Yes, but you know very well this is the airlines fault, they chargins for everything now.

Because she knew she could pull this b.s. Who wouldn't book everyone together when you're the parent.

stand up for herself lol, the woman moved with no issue while the bitch that made the video passively agressively demeaned her

@@northleedspoppaWhy do you think this is made up? Have you never dealt with people in real life. Here's a story. Random internet loser invalidates random strangers life experience for no reason. Sounds about narc to me.

You needed to report the flight attendant as soon as you landed. GUARANTEE she would be in trouble for not handling that right!

I had the same thing happen to me. A man with a thick eastern European accent stood over me saying over and over that I was sitting next to his wife and I needed to switch my aisle seat for his middle seat a few rows back. Um, no, I don't. I paid extra to pick an aisle seat because I get claustrophobic. It was just a 2 hour flight. Did he really need to sit next to her? The flight attendant was of NO help at all. Finally someone else grew tired of the man's whining and did some switching so they could sit together. It was so irritating to deal with especially since I paid more to reserve that seat.

The only problem you had was the passenger's discourtesy and the flight attendant's failure to back you up. Good for you for not going along with that rudeness.

Why wouldn't that same seat the flight attendant suggested, accommodate the seat stealing woman 😂

in our society, sadly, women are treated like they are idiots. What's worse is that OTHER women will treat them like idiots, it's not always a man who will do his....it's woman vs. woman. It's very abusive. You had two women beating up on you....real nice of them. Shame on the flight attendant--what was HER problem??

Good for you in standing up for yourself...we TEACH people how to treat us and what we will and will not accept. Just last week I went to the movies...ONE aisle seat left ..in the back (in the wheelchair /companion section) which was perfect. I get there and a woman is in my seat, asks me to verify then acknowledges that someone was in her seat so she sat in mine. Respectfully, asked her if she wanted me to get attendant to assist in getting HER seat (she was older). She accepted my offer but by the time I returned she was already informing the person in her seat (aisle row in front of me; their seat was 5 seats in) It worked out and hopefully showed the original seat takers "folks PICK their seats for a reason" !

My “no” requires no further explanation.

this is why you should never ever be kind to others, just stick with your rights and what you've paid for. being kind to human is a useless thing.

Happened to me on my business class flight, with a boyfriend wanting to sit with his girlfriend. I had paid a lot of money to go from London to Sydney, and on the second leg of the flight, I’d booked the pod in the exact orientation I wanted, as some are right next to the aisle and I wanted window, which is more private. I ended up feeling so bad, as the stewards weren’t exactly helpful and I made it obvious I didn’t want to move. I did move, begrudgingly. That flight cost £7000! And, I ended up in a crappy seat.

The thing that always gets me is somehow these people always manage to board during pre-boarding even though they don’t have strollers or something that normally qualifies you for pre-boarding. Like they know the f’d up by buying basic economy that doesn’t let them choose a seat, so now their plan is get on board, take whatever they like, and prepare to guilt trip anyone who insists on sitting in their specifically chosen seat which they paid extra for.

@@omgyeti2049 IIRC there’s usually something on your ticket that says whether you’re qualified for pre-boarding, I don’y think you can just sneak into it. Just like it says (at least w/ the airlines I’ve flown) whether or not you are allowed a carry-on bag.

Right, it’s insane people feel entitled to a seat other than what’s on their boarding pass! If you can’t get a seat switched by the staff, sit in your assigned seat, simple.

People with small children are offerd the chance to preboard. I believe the woman was holding a baby.

@@gailhitson7340 Whether you have a child or an impairment doesn’t mean you can sit anywhere. Most airlines have assigned seats. Southwest I believe is the exception?

Same here!. I've been booking windows seats since 1991in my military days as well. I would not have switched either. I just feel more at ease as I don't really like flying.

she wasnt felling entitled at all, she took an empty seat beside her children and moved when the person showed up for it, the only entitled person here is the one who made the video and your right she paid for the seat, however she passively aggressively made a video to demean the woman, the woman probably never even said a word except sorry i guess this is your seat and said i just was hoping to sit with my kids, the only stink caused here is the bitch who made the video

I did it once. it was a small aircraft with only three seats in a row, a single seat on one side and two on the other. I had the window seat and my husband had the single seat on the other side of the aisle, and I asked the man in the aisle seat next to my window seat to switch with my husband. I would consider the single seat, which is both aisle and window at the same time, to be the more desirable seat to somebody traveling alone. And he agreed to the trade. Since then, however, I have paid more attention to our boarding passes prior to boarding to see if we are seated together. My husband is deaf and depends on me for communication, and I will inform the gate agent of our need to sit together. And the seat selection business at the time of booking the tickets doesn't work. People who say "I paid for this seat" don't know what they are talking about; airlines switch equipment (aircraft) all the time, and the different aircraft have different floor plans.

I have. I took a middle seat so I could sit by my wife. The airline canceled our flight and did not put us back in our original seats when they put us on the new flight.

On a very long flight I booked an aisle and a window for my daughter and I knowing that she would sleep for the majority of the flight in the window seat (which she was very good at - I would suggest she was 11 or 12 and very independent). When a older man approached the seats (knowing he was in the middle seat) he demanded I move to the middle to be next to my daughter. I said it was fine - that she would be sleeping and we would not be talking or disturbing him and if she did want to talk we would head to the back of the plane together to stretch our legs (like I said - this was to Australia so a long long flight). He refused and said I needed to take the middle seat. Annoyingly I gave up because I did not want him to be horrible to both of us from the middle seat for 10 plus hours. Honestly though - just get online and secure your seats. I got next to no sleep at all because not only did he take the aisle seat he did the standard male move of taking both armrests for himself. So annoying.

of course!

@@lucindaarmour4685why would you want a stranger to sit next to your kid ? I’m sorry. It that thought process is questionable

I did not see that on an airplane but I saw it once in a buss, just to be clear I was in the buss when that happen it did not happen to me. Pretty much a guy did not wanted to move even the women payed for the seat, it was that bad that the buss driver told the guy he movie or he would be trown from the buss.

Was it a window seat that boy was in?

@@007nadineL yes

Exactly.... They were older. If she was so concerned she could have paid for all seats to be together.

Manipulative mother.

theyclosechannelsthatspeak428, Exactly what I was thinking!

The kids might have been happy Not sitting with cranky mom!! The business women chose the window seat for a reason! I would have ask flight attendant to handle it!

Who cares if they were older or not. Sit in your own seat.

No kidding. At 12 I was watching other people's kids, and could travel just fine with a book. Didn't need a controlling parent watching me like a hawk.

Amen Helicopter Mom's think they can do anything they want. She should have bought her tickets for her and her kids far enough ahead to get the seats she wanted or paid more - period

It's posted to remind everyone that you have a right to the seat you acquired - that it is aggravating to have others try to take advantage of your kindness. Stand your ground!

That was my first thought too. I mean the b1tch moved out of her seat so where's the big issue then?

1st time I flew was 12 with my 18 month old sister by ourselves.

My thought was : I did not know they allowed helicopters in the main cabin

Then you don't have a caring parent😂

Exactly. Those kids were not infants. And even if they had been, that’s the mom’s problem for not preplanning.

The kids probably welcome the break from hover mom.

Really you can easily fix this. She should be sitting with her kids anyway. Who wants to sit next to strangers on the plane.

@@christineperez7562 But it's not her job to fix things. She paid for her seat, by the window, for completely understandable reasons. The mom should have planned better.

@@christineperez7562??? ???? What are u talking about? Mom being a Karen and needs to move out of Tammy’s seat. The end.

@@christineperez7562That’s her problem for not paying for that specific seat.

youre wrong@@christineperez7562

This is how it's done. A little EQ goes a long way.

Concert vs plane very different types of people ages an reason for being there. Concert a happy place. Planes a bus ride you cant get off but can die on.😂

There’s no S in anyway 😊

@@goodmorningbeautifulhumans1638 but there is a u in "stupid comment" 😆

Good on you guys. No conflict, no assumptions made, nothing more than simply being nice to other people.

why wouldn't you just swap seats with mom if you both had aisle seats?

@@curtis7676facts

@@cmom1117 No, a five year old is VERY different than teenagers. It's not about entitlement, it's about taking caring of a child that can't take care of itself. VASTLY different than older kids.

@@curtis7676 Sorry--I shouldn't write when tired! The child was in the middle seat, and the mother had the middle seat right behind.

You should have switched.

He called you a b**ch? Yet he's the one getting his cheeks clapped by a man😂😂😂

Good call. Trust your instincts. It is bad luck to switch seats anyhow.

Good for you and nobody should have to justify why they want the area that they chose and paid for. It's yours and if you want it back or in this case refused just swhich , it's yours.

@@islandgirl8834 oooh yesss I love that

​@@islandgirl8834😅

​@@19Borneo67💯. How embarrassing

@@19Borneo67 she did right. many people relate to this situation.

Ahhhhh Dr. Gabor Mate says women like that suffer a lot of physical ailments like ms

The sickening selfishness, egocentrism, INHUMANITY and ENTITLEMENT of this *dumb pathetic woman* deprived her of sleep (and peace and joy and rest) for the whole flight anyways! And from what I am observing: for years to come! What an incredible, blinded, *self-infatuated fool* 🤯🙄🤯 She could've denied herself a little here for the sake of a family, and received great rewards from the Almighty God later! Instead, she made this whole international fuss of this alleged "nonissue", deprived *her own stupid self* of sleep the entire flight, made much ado about nothing, and is still dealing with this pathetic "non-issue" to this day! Making herself infamously scandalously "popular" throughout the entire country! And even across the world, where I am watching from right now. What a pathetic spoiled egotistical prideful Witch! All she had to do is say "yes sure, no big deal, no problem at all!" And slept peacefully for the rest of the flight in her comfortable middle seat. One piece of advice for ANYONE traveling by any means: Carry good *EARPLUGS* with you, and you'll be able to sleep in the noisiest places ever imaginable with NO PROBLEM whatsoever!!! And you won't have to whine about non-issues like a baby, as if your life depends on it❗️ I mean, this grown woman is so pathetic, it's not even funny!!! Just very very incredibly sad, what this world has come to... The American nation has turned into a pathetic mob of spoiled, sheltered, pampered, entitled, SELFISH and HELPLESS *whiny snowflakes, cupcakes and wimps!* 🙄🙄 No wonder the harshest judgment of God is coming to your land very soon. Get a life, lady. You so LAAAAAAAAAME!!!

I don't explain. I just say move.

True, but it is not definitively impolite to ask if one would mind the trade. It is only impolite to not accept the answer or to take the seat without having asked and given permission for it. It may be impolite if one had an alternative that was both honest, equitable and unselfish..

Bam!

@@StuartKlimek I disagree. Any response from the seat holder is perfectly fine regardless of "equity". It's their seat and they can choose to keep it regardless of what the other person thinks. She'll get over it... life goes on.

Even if you were a mom to 6 and 4 year olds she should stand her ground it’s not hers or anyone that ends up in that situations fault… parents should plan better.

"someone took my plane seat so now i need to go to the press like a fretard"

​@@SelaLucerodefinitely. pay extra when travelling with kids to choose seats and ensure that all are sitting together. Don't try to negotiate with random people on the plane.

She is absolutely beautiful

Unfortunately ppl are looking at it as a rights issue, this is just about common courtesy. As a guy I deal with entitled females all the time but if a mom wanted me to move to be next to her kid I'd move because it's not about her it's about a scared kid on a plane . FYI as a guy I wouldn't want to sit next to kid anyway .

@@MikeDonaldson-eh2ru I have a medical issue that requires very frequent rest room visits, on two separate occasions I have individuals that disrespected my legitimately purchased assigned seat, which required paying an additional fee! This is just another example of societal decline in basic manners, plan ahead don’t create unnecessary problems for other travelers! Nothing more to say!

Social decline comes from lack of decorum from leaders, and manners in public. I'm 50 and remember the times when ppl said good morning, evening, and just polite mannerisms, thank yous, and so on. Today ppl are extremely rude to others, and most of the time ignore others completely, and stay on their devices. So as much as I blame parents, it's actually society that eventually makes it's own standards of behaviors now, and you could be the most polite person in the world, but the world doesn't care and will break you down piece by piece

Yeah, she was probably trying the "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" thing, but in this case, it actually would have been better or at least more polite to ask for permission.
