    "Son keeps kicking the back of my seat while in a flight"

    Obligatory: sorry for formatting I'm on mobile This was a few years ago, when my dad and I(14f) were on a flight back home from India. Behind us there was a family of three, with their son behind me, and the mum behind my dad.

    It was a night time flight and everyone was beat. It was also a small, budget- airlines with not much leg room. About 10 minutes into the flight, the kid
  • 04
    behind me starts kicking my seat. To be clear, he wasn't very little, maybe 9 or 10. I let my dad know and he politely asks him to stop,

    and he does.....for about 10 seconds. We tell him again ( more firmly this time), but no luck.

    This is where the revenge starts. My dad reclines his seat as much as he can and when they ask him to put it up he doesn't. They call the flight attendant(FA) and the dad (JD) talks to him.

    JD: this man put his seat down, and my wife is uncomfortable. FA (while talking to my dad): would you like to keep it down? My dad: yes please
  • 08
    FA: well then, he can if he wants to. That's not his problem. Have a nice flight He walks away with the dad left spluttering and cursing under his breath. Fun times!

    Edit: sorry, I didn't give proper closure disappointing a lot of you. The parents realised what happened and after a few harsh whispers, got the kid

    to stop kicking. But that didn't stop them from glaring at both me, my dad and the flight attendant that walked by. My dad did keep the seat down for another hour, but got up once he was sure those parents learnt their lesson.

    Dongar00. He should have waited till they had drinks (hopefully cold) then reclined rapidly oops sorry!

    insertfunnyname 06 OP. They didn't have any drink stands becuase is the flight was at 11pm but if there was we would have done it

    Knuffel_beertje . Did the attendance witness the chair kicking?
  • 14
    insertfunnyname06 OP. Sadly not. The Idad actually clicked the attendant summoning button in order to tell him what happened
  • 15
    therealdougiep . So what happened with the kid, did he stop kicking? This is very unsatisfying indeed. So you still had kicks and their mom is uncomfortable and your dad is reclining and snoozy? Naw

    insertfunnyname06 ОР OP. I'm really sorry about the lack of closure. I put an edit at the bottom of the post

    NeatNefariousness1. Hahaha. Your dad get's an A+ in petty revenge. Some people can't be reached unless they are directly impacted. As long as the kid was kicking someone else's seat, they couldn't be bothered. People like these and the little SC they are raising should be dropped off on their own deserted island.
