Airplane etiquette continues to be on the decline. First of all, no matter how hard I try, whenever I board a plane, I am always in Group 9, toward the back, in the middle seat, and right next to the bathroom and/or a crying baby. Given all these circumstances, I am already in a sour mood before the plane even takes off. The last thing I want on top of all this is to hear a loud conversation take place throughout the duration of the flight. But leave it to the Karens and the Kevins of this world to make someone's in-flight experience even more anger-inducing.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Walfredo_wya, who had to endure a seemingly endless discussion from two rows behind him despite wearing earplugs. Clearly, the earplugs were not strong enough because when the passenger confronted Karen and Kevin about all the noise they were making, he was able to list off all the details from their conversation as proof that he (and everyone around them) could hear every single word that was uttered. Of course, Karen and Kevin did not take this well and started cussing out the passenger. However, as many folks in the comments section mentioned, there was still a sense of triumph that the Redditor was able to risk taking one for the team and give that entitled couple a piece of his mind. If I were a witness to this exchange, I would have given this dude a round of applause.
