A bloke has sparked a heated debate after moaning about an passenger 'spilling' over into his plane seat. He detailed how he was jetting off on a three-hour to the Caribbean, hoping for a comfy journey to kickstart his holiday. However, upon spotting his fellow passenger next to him, he knew that wasn't going to be the case.
Sharing his ordeal on Reddit, he said: "Sitting with my wife in E and F (wife in F), our row mate joins us in D and he is a large person. Easily 40% into my seat. "Luckily for me, I'm not a huge person but the arm rest couldn't go down and I had to have my right leg in my wife's seat in order to fit and he and I were body to body the whole flight.
" Before take-off, he made an excuse to use the loo but instead flagged down a flight attendant to have a quick, private word with them. He continued: "I tell him that I am only asking for the entire seat that I paid for and nothing more. He makes a couple of calls, comes back and aggressively tells me there's nothing he can do because the flight is 100% full (yeah okay, that's fair) and then threatens me by saying he is happy to have a red coat escort me and make me take the next flight.
" The baffled gent insisted he kept his cool with the cabin crew, saying: "I never once insulted the person sitting next to me. I did sarcastically say that they should make this guy take the next flight, but that was after he became aggressive towards me. He responded by saying 'See, that's the vibe I don't need'.
I promptly shu.
