This guy couldn't handle a simple "no" answer. Many people are like this! Sometimes, the world is unfair, and most of us learn this by the time we're toddlers. You can't always have what you want, you make someone do something just because you feel like it, and you're going to have to compromise sometimes. You can complain until you're blue in the face, but you still will not get your way all the time. 

However, if you live a sheltered life, you might not learn these lessons until you get out into the real world in adulthood. That might be the case with this guy, who chose to have a full-blown tantrum at the airport, a feat which historically goes down very badly with flight attendants and airport crew. However, this guy wasn't kicked off the flight (maybe due to that first-class status). At least he was made out to be a fool in front of the rest of the first-class people by this flyer! 

Next up, read about the waiters whose customers left some pretty lousy tips, like one person who "put a $5 tip on a $300 bill."

    Tl/dr: man baby throws screaming fit after stealing my seat. FA handles it like a rockstar 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 there" as he points to the window seat of FC. I looked at him pretty confused then the obvious hits me. I say to him "I know they are all FC seats but honestly I prefer the aisle seat I booked."

    Check out the tirade this guy went on... And he didn't care who heard him

    He absolutely blows up like literally 0 to 100 instantly. Sorry for the language here but detail is important in this. He is screams at the top of his lungs: "Oh fine! I buy first class seats on this airline and I cant even sit next to my wife! What the f the difference? Fine I get my bag and not get to sit is next to my wife on this

    ticket that I paid for. This airline! F this!" 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. 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. I say in the calmest voice a person can muster, "look I'll take your seat in the back, but I want you to know that you are a piece of shi."

    All of first class erupts in laughter and there were a couple of claps from behind and I walk to his assigned seat. He tries to say loudly to other people around him about how all he wanted was to sit next to his wife and what a crappy day they had with delays and whatnot.

    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 ahle get my seat he will get my meal lol!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Man baby I hope you stub your toe everyone you get out of the shower the rest of your life. And Rebecca (FA) you're a rockstar and I filled out a note on the website letting corporate know that!

    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.

    Demonstrating calm behavior and getting bonus points for it? That's a win-win

    bbc733 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.

    mosttoyswins Seriously. How about "Excuse me sir, I know this is your seat, but my wife and I are separated and I would greatly appreciate it if you would allow me to sit next to her. My seat is a window a few rows back. If not I completely understand." I would have said "No problem, enjoy your flight"

    sojaleche Why didn't this man baby pick a seat along with his wife if he paid for FC? I don't get it... but OP great job! And I am surprised there is meal service for MSP-IND which is just over 500 miles. I am flying this route next Friday as well and would be nice to get a burger :)
