Boy didn’t stop kicking my seat during a long flight – My dad taught his parents a lesson
When it comes to flying, some people are looking forward to it while others dread it.
A family of three, a mom, a dad, and their daughter were on board, taking a long flight. They hoped they would be comfortable since they needed to be on the plane for many hours, but once the plane took off, they experienced something rather unpleasant.
A young boy, around 9 or 10 years old, who was sitting right behind the couple’s daughter, started kicking her seat without stopping. Even after she and her parents complained to the boy’s parents, he stopped for like ten seconds and then continued kicking again.
This continued for quite some time, and when they realized that the boy’s parents won’t do anything to prevent their kid from disturbing the girl in front of him, her dad decided to take matters in his own hands.
In a strategic move, he reclined his seat completely, causing discomfort to the boy’s mother seated behind him.
When the boy’s mother and her husband raised objections and sought assistance from a flight attendant, the father insisted on maintaining his reclined position, which the flight attendant said he had every right to.
Subsequently, the couple exchanged a few words, resulting in their son ceasing to kick the seat of the young girl in front of them. However, the father persisted in reclining his seat for an hour as a means of ensuring the couple understood the consequences of their actions.
Those witnessing this scene unfolding agreed that the father did the right thing. He wanted to teach the rude couple and their spoiled son a lesson.
Of course, Reddit users were as eager to comment on the story the father shared.
One person suggested that the father should have waited until the couple behind them ordered drinks before he decided to recline his seat fully so that the drinks would spill on them.
Another person pointed out that many individuals fail to comprehend the impact of their actions on others until they find themselves in a similar situation or position. Since the couple couldn’t physically feel their son’s kicks in the chair, they were indifferent to how it affected others. However, when their own comfort was disrupted, they became aware of the need to address the issue.
Others shared similar stories of how they dealt with rude people and how they taught them a lesson they will never forget.
