Traveler Gets Back at Obnoxious Neighbors on His Flight by Tying Their Shoelaces to the Seat in an Unbreakable Knot

To a seasoned traveler, flight comforts are sacred and everyone has their little rituals that help dull their mind enough to endure 8 hours of sitting in the same confined seat. Usually those rituals include a little bit of peace and quiet to reach a meditative state, but when you're sitting next to a drunken human toddler on a long flight, tensions are poised to fly high. When you're stone-cold sober, dealing with drunk people is already annoying, but at 32,000ft, it's a whole different ballgame. In this case, a flight passenger was sat in front of a duo of drunken, giggling, rabble rousers was pushed to the absolute limit of human patience, only to snap in the final decent of the aircraft.

After a long week of work abroad, OP was prepared for peaceful a transatlantic flight back home, but he was astonished when the adult neighbors behind him were kicking his chair, cackling loudly, and pushing their luggage into his foot space. After employing several passive aggressive techniques to quell their chortles, OP had no other choice but to fight fire with fire. After chugging several vodka sodas, OP was inspired by the most diabolically Looney Tune-esque revenge: a classic tied-shoelaces prank.
