This thread somehow surprised us and didn't at the same time

I feel like this is one of those AITA posts where the user probably knows what the judgment will be before they even ask. Still, whether or not they were in the wrong was decided when they chose to use a term like “manspreading” in the title. After that, the conversation was only going to go in one direction. I'm going to go ahead here and say that I don't agree with Reddit's decision. Yes, dear reader, that might surprise you, but I don't think this Original Poster was in the wrong. This state…

This airline worker bought the very last first class ticket , and settled in for a plane ride to Texas, until an entitled passenger disturbed him. The best part of going to the airport is the relief you feel once you're through customs and security and you find your gate. You breathe the biggest sigh of relief that you made it to your flight on time. Then, in your spare time while you wait to board, you get to shop at the airport stores, which are similar to a mall. If I ran things, I would let…

Well, well, well, how the tables have turned

A Karen and a plane, name a more iconic duo… The frequency that the two can often be found together is regrettable. Having some entitled and insane individual with you when you're locked in a pressurized cylinder hurtling through the sky at nearly 600mph (for several uncomfortable hours) is not an ideal situation to be in. But it must be something about that uncomfortable situation of flying that causes these emotionally infantile people to lose their slightest semblance of sanity. You know Sam…

We all know that person who reclines too much or uses your seat as "leverage" when they are taking the 15th bathroom trip on the flight.

Flight attendants see the good, the bad, and the ugly. To be fair, anyone working in the service industry gets access to the entitled side of the world. This employee was working as a flight attendant at a regional airline and had enough of her usual, disgruntling encounters with a rude, entitled traveler who happened to have ties to her boss, VP Karen. One day he arrived, pompous as ever, demanding to be upgraded to business class. He didn't have a coupon, which was necessary in order to recei…

The stress of flying really seems to bring out the worst in people. If you're a flight attendant, you have to deal with stressed out and riled-up passengers every single day! As these flight attendants will tell you, flying seems to give people a license to act like toddlers — screaming, throwing tantrums , and demanding things. Although flight attendants are in charge of seating passengers in the right section, distributing drinks and snacks, and providing information during the flight… but th…

Wholesome malicious compliance

As if flying wasn't already a huge annoyance, this guy got seated next to a fired-up fool. While on a flight from Minnesota to California, this traveller expected to board their first-class seat. However, they immediately came across an issue. As the OP, u/SatisfactionDull, wrote, they boarded the plane and planned to chill out. However, they couldn't even sit down. There was already a guy in the OP's seat, and he wasn't leaving without a fight. He got a “weird confused smile” on his face befor…

"Later: 'that cat was HEAVY.'"

The internet is debating the unspoken rules of boarding and exiting airplanes after this guy's ‘AITA’ question. Lots of people enjoy flying, but many more people probably would say they actually hate being on airplanes. After getting through hours of security at the airport, you have to rush to your gate and then board in order. Then, you fly in a cramped cabin for hours, stuffed in like sardines with other random people. This guy has a question about what happens once the airplane touches down…

Houston, we've got 99 problems, but cute ears ain't one

Home Owner's Associations often delight in trying to get people to change their homes, but this HOA extended their reach even further. For this person, their HOA didn't just try to control their property, but even made a lake their jurisdiction! As the OP wrote to r/AmItheA******, they live in a lakefront cottage. The OP is also a pilot who owns a seaplane , which they can keep conveniently parked in the water in front of their home. In an effort to keep everyone safe around the plane, the OP c…

Being stuck at the airport can be excruciating...

If there's one thing I hate about Twitter, it's the people who use it . I'm not saying this to be a hater. Still, longtime Twitter users like myself will recognize a type of defensive rhetoric unique to Twitter users that makes the experience of using the bird app kind of miserable. They will always assume the worst about a situation and respond accordingly. They act like everyone is the enemy who needs to get told off by their righteous army. I don't know why Twitter is like this, but if I had…
