Man charges obese passenger $150 for encroaching on his seat
- 5 years ago
THE FRIENDLY SKIES — A man hilariously—or horrifically—charged a large and in charge passenger sitting next to him on a flight $150 for encroaching on his seat.
The anonymous man wrote about his experience on a Reddit AITA forum and has since taken off.
The guy was apparently flying on a five-hour cross country flight and specifically chose a row with no middle seat and picked the aisle seat.
He then goes on to say, "a very obese man boards and I can tell instantly he is going to have a tough time fitting in any of the seats."
Karma immediately kicks in, with the large passenger cruising over to the window seat next to the guy.
"He sits down and is easily seeping into about ⅓ of my seat," he goes on. "I sit down and am pressed up against him, making me uncomfortable."
So after about 60 seconds of that, the guy lets the bigger gentleman know that this isn't going to fly.
The larger man tried to take up less space, but let's say he hit a bit of turbulence.
After talking to a flight attendant, she says big guy could buy a second seat, but that idea crashed because the flight was full.
Other ideas that didn't take off were booking another flight and sitting next to someone else that wouldn't mind.
So that's when the guy said he would "put up with" the situation for $150 bones.
The big fella instantly agreed and handed over the benjamins, saying he "appreciated" it.
