Is this guy serious or was this a big conspiracy to get his neighbor to give up the aisle seat? This dude read online that you could get dehydrated on a flight, so rather than pace himself and drink a normal amount of water over the course of his three-hour trip, he decided to consume 80 oz of water. He shared his side of the story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit.

Given the amount of water that was consumed, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this guy needed to get up to pee several times during the flight. The problem is that he was in the middle seat and the person in the aisle kept getting woken up by his constant trips to the bathroom every 45 minutes. Someone in the comments suggested that this guy's obsession with dehydration might be evidence of a larger issue. That's a generous interpretation of his behavior. The opposite end of that spectrum is that he's just a jerk with no regard for other people's flight experience. Where do you fall on these two interpretations?
