There is no sweet relief like the discovery that the empty seat next to you on the plane will remain empty for the duration of the flight… that is, unless you have to battle over the empty space with another passenger.
The anticipation begins when you board the plane and realize there is no one in that adjacent seat yet. You pray and pray to whomever until the boarding process is complete. Once the flight attendant confirms that everyone has boarded the plane, you can relax and enjoy the fact that you have a little extra arm and leg room. However, this Redditor discovered on her 14-hour flight from Los Angeles to Shaghai that she was going to have to fight for that extra space with an older woman two seats down who immediately usurped that extra seat for herself. The petty revenge that ensued involved consulting flight attendants, making it so that this woman could not get up to use the bathroom, and finally taking over the space when she did. Keep scrolling below to see what happened when the older woman finally had an outburst.
