Woman who refuses seat swap called out
A woman and her partner who refused to swap seats on a flight so a mother could sit next to her child have sparked a debate.
Taking to Reddit, the woman asked whether she was being unreasonable for not changing seats after specifically paying for the window and middle seat.
“I had the window and he had the middle. A lady sat on the end and her daughter was in front,” she wrote.
“She asked if they could have our two seats and we have hers/daughters or my boyfriend would switch with her daughter.
“I politely said no which she wasn’t happy about.
“We got asked ‘What difference does it make? You're adults, my daughter is scared of flying and is a minor’.
“Anyway, we didn’t move. Was I in the wrong? Surely if she was that bothered she could have paid like us.”
The Reddit community sided with the woman and called out the mother for not paying for her daughter’s seat.
“I have a child who is scared of flying and so I would have paid to ensure that I had the seats I needed,” one person wrote.
“She wasn’t being unreasonable to ask. You weren’t being unreasonable to refuse. She was unreasonable to be grumpy about it,” another wrote.
“Not unreasonable to ask but unreasonable to try and guilt you about it. Mother of the century,” someone else commented.
“No chance I would move, I am terrified of flying and am really picky about my seats,” another comment read.
