As if flying wasn't already a huge annoyance, this guy got seated next to a fired-up fool. 

While on a flight from Minnesota to California, this traveller expected to board their first-class seat. However, they immediately came across an issue. As the OP, u/SatisfactionDull, wrote, they boarded the plane and planned to chill out. However, they couldn't even sit down. There was already a guy in the OP's seat, and he wasn't leaving without a fight. He got a "weird confused smile" on his face before trying to tell OP that he was in fact in the correct seat. The OP tried to gently tell this dude that they bought an aisle seat, and wanted to sit there. After all, first class isn't cheap, and that's only reasonable. Not to this guy though! This enraged traveller just couldn't believe that another first class passenger might actually want the seat he paid big bucks for. He was only focussed on his own needs.

Up next, a wedding vendor got some wild texts from a potential client — and he had to put this disrespectful man in his place.

    Font - MSP to IND. Later flight as I was connecting from SAN. I was in the sky club and got to plane while they were boarding Main 1. I'm row three aisle. I wait in line and board ready to post up and get some rest. Low and behold I see a guy sitting in my seat. I politely say to him that I think he grabbed the wrong seat and I show him my boarding pass. He looks at me with a weird confused smile and says something to the affect of "huh no I don't think so, but there's an seat open seat back the

    Font - He wildly stands up and starts to almost seemingly try to rip the overhead bin door off to get his bag. He's maybe 6" away from me and we are both standing.

    Font - Mind you FC is full and so is about 70% of the rest of the plane at this point. As he wildly tries to rip down the overhead door I shot my arm up and stop it from opening. This caught him off guard and I think the rest of the surrounding people because I swear you could hear a pin drop at this point.

    Font - So I'm sitting in my seat and stewing a bit because I over analyze things and I'm wondering if I really should have let him get his way. Aaaand I pre-ordered the burger and I was thinking you watch, all the burgers will be taken and not only will this as hole get my seat he will get my meal lol!

    Font - I see FA finally approach out of the galley and she kneels down and has what seemed like a 15-20 minute conversation with said dude. Doesn't look like a pleasant convo. She goes back to her duties and we take off. About 20min into flight she comes back to my aisle and asks the gentleman next to me if minded if she leaned in closely.

    Font - She holds out her phone and asks me if this is my correct email address. I confirm. "She then thanks me for putting the guy in his place and for handling the situation the way I did." She tells me what a nightmare this guy has been and and also asks if I felt I needed any type of security at IND when we land because of the dudes behavior. I laugh and tell her that won't be necessary.

    Font - She thanks me again and let's me know she called corporate and explained the situation and the guy has a “report” against his profile. She also informs me that she added 50k miles to my account and that she'll make sure I get the meal I pre ordered. Sorry for the long story but it was a pretty wild ride.

    Font - Edit: I understand the confusion about the trip and meal as the meal was on the SAN to MSP leg. My bad. This was a few weeks ago. Wouldn't have gone to the trouble of typing this up just to have it be fake. It happened and delta staff were great. Was just trying to share a story I thought you all would appreciate.

    Font - bbc733 Diamond The audacity of that dude to not even have the decency to wait for you and ask to switch seats. You handled that situation like a pro AND 50K miles to boot? Awesome.

    Font - imposingpotato MSP > IND has meal service in FC? That's like an 1 1/2 flight at best Reply Share 15 Satisfaction Dull OP Diamond Yeah I mentioned on another I had the wrong leg on the meal. This was a few weeks ago and I've been out and back on a ton of flights so my mistake. That was SAN to MSP leg. Not really trying to get in an argument with people that think I went to all the trouble of typing this thing up to be made up. Simple mistake.
