Tammy Nelson, a mom of 3, tells the story of why refused to give up her window seat for a middle seat for another mom to sit next to her kids.
#travel #moms #gma
I was once asked by a guy to swap my prepaid aisle seat with a middle seat so he could sit with his girlfriend. I said “sure…for fifty bucks” which is about what I paid for the pre-selection. He said that was ridiculous and after a little back and forth he called me a sucker for paying it. I just said I’m the sucker sitting next to your girlfriend and you’re the guy who just confirmed it’s not worth fifty bucks.
That's a good one 😂😂
😂😂😂
The best! Way to go!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Internet award of the day!!!! 🏆
That response made me laugh so hard! It also sent his gf a message that sitting next to her was not worth $50. WTH?
The fact she was sitting in your seat before she had even asked tells you everything you need to know about her character.
And I love the " oh, it's just right here!" middle seat explanation
She was the seat robber.
Just sitting there in the first place, the answer is simply NO!
💯
yep! she should have found the person before the flight and asked, asked the flight personnel, or simply booked it that way in the reservation!!! She just assumed she would get her way and went ahead and did it without permission. They say "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" but not in this situation!
This woman owes nobody an explanation for why she wanted to sit in the seat she picked and paid for.
Amen
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯
News flash: you don't need a reason to actually use the seat you booked. And, it's just rude to purposely sit in a seat that's not yours.
Spot on. Its just plain RUDE. But these people go right on the offence.
Agree your seat is your
This lady didn't need to explain to us why she wanted the window seat she paid for. The gall and entitlement of people to just do whatever they want these days is incredible.
You would be surprised how the media would usually side with a mother regardless of the truth!
Simply unbelievable the absolute gall to be upset about a spot you didn't pay for Right on for keeping your seat. Hell if it means so much pay in advance for the seat you want. Geez people.
It’s sad that she even felt like she had to explain and justify why she wanted the seat she PAID for!
agreed
That was my first thought. She doesn't need to 'need' the seat for a health issue or whatever. It's HER seat.
Can say with 100% certainty that the mother's teens were overjoyed not to have to sit next to their mother.
Exactly,lol!
Yeah, given that she's lazy enough not to book in advance to select an entire row, and is selfish enough to think she just unilaterally swap a -worst, least expensive- middle seat for the -best, most expensive- window seat, hoping that "it's easier to get forgiveness than permission" would pay off (probably again after many other times), tells me she's not a great person. They were probably totally embarrassed by her shamelessness. Narcissism, whaddya gonna do. If not for the kids I would have shown her face and shamed her publicly.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Correct!
😂😂😂😂
She was totally trying to gaslight you. I’m glad you stood up for yourself.
Girl, you don't even need to justify why you want YOUR seat
No wrong on yr side, lady
100% correct
“Your poor planning does not constitute an emergency for me.” It’s shocking how often people’s jaws fall open.
Using this... lol
Same!
What an airline bumps people or change their seat that’s not planning errors. Airlines are supposed to say families together, especially with underage children which under 16 is still under age. So that was their error not the mothers. But if the kids were being kids, everyone will be asking Where is the mother?
that line is from Family Guy
I don’t think air likes do that because me and my husband planned and paid extra to have our seats together we are going in may of this year with our 2 year old
When the kids deal with the situation with more maturity than the mom who's an adult!
Exactly!
The mom acted like her kids were ages 4 and 6. You just know those kids have to deal with their mom being neurotic on a daily basis. Sad. When they become adults the mom is going to wonder why her kids don't visit or call more often.
@@OrangeArdmorethose kids are still children so Ofcouse the mom would be worried
@@nttbwps6.-_ How do I block you from ever talking to me ever again in life?
@@OrangeArdmore you’ll live 😊
As a flight attendant. I applaud her. Yes queen. 💗💕✈️ ITS HER SEAT. She doesn’t have to switch her window seat!
I was flying american years back and a lady asked me to switch seats so she could sit next to her daughter I said as long as its an aisle she said of course and pointed to seat directly in front of mine, I got up switched and then another person came up to the seat and said its theirs the woman had of course lied and hers was the middle seat (5.5 hrs from lax to mco) amazingly a flight attendant had watched the whole episode and promptly marched me up to first class!!!!!!!! Win win
If she had lied to me she would have been moved when I discovered it. You still had the ticket to that seat. Fortunately it worked out for you.
She kept asking the kids if they were fine to further "shame" you. They were probably GLAD to be away from her! Her entitlement is absolutely atrocious!!!
The teenage boy was probably absolutely mortified. Parents are embarrassing just for existing when you're that age!
@paulawynn9779, And, to try to prevent her from sleeping
If I got a window Seat it's my seat ....
Love the son’s response!❤
She is a mom. People are missing the whole picture. She was panicking some. She was hoping she could get a swap. To me, she should have swapped with the older sibling or just watch a movie or something.
The entitlement of this mom is outrageous. This woman had a right to what she paid for. The only way I would have given my seat is if an infant or disabled child needed her near them. In this case NO!
wtf are you talking about, she sat beside her children and moved when asked, didn't bitch didn't say a word, maybe she was hoping that nobody showed for that seat, nobody here was acting entitled, in fact the only problem i seen here was some snob bitch making a big deal out of it for no reason at all, in fact if she were any kind of decent human she would have forgone her bitch snob attitude much like yours and let a family sit together for a plane ride, jesus christ all we hear is bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch rom people like you, i absolutely would have traded seats its the only decent thing to do in a case like that duh
I wouldn't even switch for an infant or a disables child. Not my problem, my seat is my seat
Any infant gets to be in the lap of the mother. That is a none issue and not a realistic scenario. No infant has their own seat.
@@PeteMachini6732let's hope that you don't fall into a situation where a stranger has to help you .God works in mysterious ways.
@@jafiadaesther3955 I paid for the damn seat, Im not the one that's selfish. You're probably the mother in this Video
This happened to my family a few months ago. We were returning from vacation when a woman and her family decided to take our three airplane seats. I calmly explained to her, that they were our seats which we paid for when we purchased our tickets (we always purchase our seats when we purchase our tickets). She and her family refused to move, we had to call the flight attendant who then had to threaten to call security to get the family to move. She did not want her seats which were in the back of the airplane (our seats were in the front). She claimed that her travel agent told her she could sit anywhere on the airplane. She was very angry. Some people believe that they can take whatever they want whenever they want; as if the world revolves around them. I am happy you did not give in to her and you did not have to explain to her why you wanted the seat, you paid for it, so you were entitled to sit there.
Wow. We're you calm or freaking out internally?
came here to say this too
I’ve never met a travel agent who would say you can sit wherever you want.
Parents need to suck it up and plan ahead. Sitting 2 ft away from your teenaged kid instead of right beside them is YOUR “problem”, no one else’s.
I read a comment once where a man paid for the front seat for the extra leg room. He was asked by the man next to him if he'd switch seats with his wife, who was several rows back. His reasoning was because his wife had their baby with her and needed the extra room. He said, no, I'm tall & paid for this space. If she needs more room to be comfortable, why haven't YOU switched seats with her? He didn't like that answer!😂
Bam!
Brilliant! My father always did the same thing. He's 6'3" and no way he could fit in a normal seat other than the first one.
Or they could have paid for a front seat knowing she needed more room?
But really it's shocking, why didn't he switch with her??
@@andiidoode Do you mean the passenger or the husband? The passenger paid extra so he could be comfortable on the flight. The husband, I'm not sure why he didn't switch seats with her. He should have taken the baby at least.
She handled it perfectly. That Mom wanted it more for herself rather than her kids. Thank you everyone for your likes. Humbly appreciated ❤
Maybe but I had a 14 year old who got nervous when he learned that we were not sitting next to each other and wanted me to switch our seats. We were sitting in aisle seats in the same row. When we got on he said that he had not understood that. Anyway my point is yes she wanted it for herself but had reason to think the children especially the 12 year old would like it better. The 15 year old was totally embarrassed by her presumption and attempt to make it look like she was put out on her children's behave.
😢 you poor thing. Your 14 year old sounds so brave. Two generations ago 14-18 year olds went and fought in WW1 and saved the world. Now they can’t fly in an isle seat because mommy is one row away and that’s, terrifying. Truly, you are brave and amazing! Stunning and brave.
@@kingsnoob4546forreal, but still, I don’t remember being that much of a pxssy at 14 years of age Must be some suburban mentality
Yep, she did not want to be stuck in a middle seat with people she didn't know.
It was your seat. Enough said!
Years back I flew overseas on a 7 hour flight with my daughter. We could not get seats together. It never occurred to me to ask someone to switch their seat so I could sit with her. It was our problem for booking late. I had the window & she had the aisle in the row behind me & opposite. I told her you’re close by if you need anything. I was surprised when the fellow beside me offered to switch with her. It was a nice gesture & he kept his aisle seat but I never expected him or anyone to switch seats. My thought is when we book late it is our problem. No one should have to sacrifice their seat for our mistakes.
If I was alone in a plane and a situation like that happened to me, I would gladly offer you (or anyone else) to switch seats, especially more if my seat is in the middle one, which is the one I hate the most 😆. I flew once with a colleague, and let's say his hygiene was not top, yeah, my nose felt that. On the last leg, we were not seated side by side and I was quite happy about it. Before takeoff, we chat a bit and the guy next to me ask: "Do you want to switch seats to be next to your colleague?". I told him "No thank you, I will try to sleep anyway." I lied of course🤣
This story makes even less sense than most. If the mother was so worried why didn't she switch with her older son to sit near the younger daughter?
As a single woman I am so sick and tired of people expecting me to sacrifice my well being just because I do not have children or a spouse. I am still important, I still matter! Too bad for the Mum, but it wasn’t the ladies responsibility to abide by the moms wishes! She should have planned better for her trip!
Yup! Too many people see single women as just larger versions of little girls to be bossed around and talked down to.
Shout out to the feminist child-free women!
Some People with kids really think others need to inconvenience themselves to make their parenting easier.
@@juliabaum8832 yep, my experiences are with males who see me solo and think they can dominate me... uh no. Then that really upsets their ego because I am not timid and submit.
@@marisaw5150 Ewwww...What a masculine women........I guess ALL males behave this way towards you???? Dominate you???? Reeeeeeeally???? This is why men don't approach people like you. Only those crude men do because of your attitude.
Why do people automatically think because they have kids they have some kind of privilege? Good on you girl you deserve your seat I hope you got some rest.
pulling the mom card. everyone has a card
I would want to travel with my children! Therefore I would book ahead and pay the extra money so I could!
Possibly because they don't want to pay a booking extra to pre book being together.It's the complete self interest/selfishness that gets me
Entitlement
Most of us don't.... The people that do were selfish and arrogant BEFORE they had children.
If sitting together is so vital to you, pay the money to do it. Do not expect other people who paid the money to give up their paid seat.
The lady in the vid is explaining herself why she needed the window seat and that she needed to sleep etc ..she really doesn't need to explain anything, it was her seat, she paid for it. Some parents think that having kids is like being a special needs person...which is not!
She encountered a person who gets her way and she stood up for herself... good for her.
Don't think that was the case airlines suck!
What did the mother do. But moved when she was asked too. It’s only this women who said she was unhappy. She didn’t say anything so why is this women even talking about it. I’d offer my seat as a mother. And would have no problem giving up my window seat I love too. Why because normal people want families sitting together. It’s not just about sitting to visit. I’m sorry but I want my daughter or twin sons close to me if there is ever a time for that it’s a plane ride. They can be scary fir children. And adults. Let’s be real. Remember here the mother said nithing and moved. Period
@@maymoon8851 That was the case....and the airline did nothing wrong.
@@AMYV3 She paid for a window seat she gets the window seat, The woman is just entitled and should not get her way. I would not of switched
You guys Got it all wrong. Where I come from we go out of our way to help mothers and children. Blonde lady is an evolving Karen. She isn’t full blown Karen yet, but soon enough she’ll be in a fast food restaurant blowing up the workers bc she has only had “90 minutes of sleep” or is working on a “big presentation”. Her issues supersede everyone else, the definition of a Karen.
I 100% would refuse to switch too. Sick of entitled people.
how was she entitled? she sat with her kids hoping the seat would remain empty and moved with no issue when called on it, the only entittled person here was the woman who made the passive aggressive video to make the woman look bad, you people i swear.
@@davidwalesby2426how many seat you ever paid for and gave up you geek.
I would switch if she waited until I got on and then ASKED. But to just take my seat because you think you're someone special... The lessons you never forget are always the hard ones.
Oo mee you single lolz
@@davidwalesby2426it was her seat she paid for it the entitled one was definitely the mom 😂
Years ago I was returning from Europe to the US solo; I was in a window seat on the side. A couple in their late 50s nicely asked if I would switch my seat so they could sit together, they pointed further back where the lady's seat was.. And I was way too kind (and plain stupid) to agree without checking out her seat first. For the next 10 hours I was in the back of the plane in the middle section with a loud multi-kid family (like, 10 of them) occupying the entire row behind me, and one of their toddlers kicking my seat non-stop. NEVER again. 😂
Same thing happened to me. I said no and they were mad at me the whole flight.
Same here, I will never give up my seat for anyting less than what I struggled to board for.
You notice no one ever offers you a BETTER seat so they can come back and sit in the middle seat next to their spouse. It's always the spouse with the worse seat that thinks you should swap
Those kids were probably relieved to not be sitting next to that nightmare of a mom
I’m a mother and mothers like this give us a bad name. The entitlement of her to think she has a right to take someone else’s seat makes me MAD
Nobody has the right whether they're male, female, a mother, not a mother. It's entitled arrogance at its worst
And the Need of this lady to justify and validate why she didn't want to swap ...no need
And, then, just take the seat and assume that it's ok to do that. Then, to gaslight about the available 'window!"
Clear case of female entitlement
@@cansee8637 well you get single dads too, I wonder if they would've tried that on
Don’t you love the “I thought we could switch seats” without having even spoken to her. 🙄Yeah, that’s rude.
It would have been more acceptable if she had said I was hoping we could swap seats.
Her whole approach and tone as if the deal was already made is INCREDIBLE manipulative.
@@d-1381 The problem is, nobody here knows how it actually happened. What was actually being said by each party, and how!!! Believing one side without observing the situation at least on video is very foolish! Every side is going to present the situation in the light most favorable to them. For all I know, this entitled selfish woman might be lying, abusing the fact that the whole encounter was not taped on video… I would not believe a single word coming out of her mouth. She has a vested interest! Use critical thinking, people! Don't just believe somebody because they say so... 🙄🤯🙄🙄🙄 Do you know how easy it is to deceive people today, especially the gullible and naïve Americans? It's not even funny.
It's the opposite so what I do at work sometimes. I ask for a day off like last minute, but I can ask. If I get a no, so be it. Same here, she can ask. But if you don't get the answer you want, deal with it.
Yeah like sit in your seat and wait for the person to come to their seat and ask them nicely. If they say no respect it and I can understand being annoyed at the airline if they did plan ahead and it was a mistake but that’s assuming you did plan ahead and speak to the gate agent. I believe where this got rude was that she was already sitting in this woman’s seat thinking it’s a done deal.
I used to go ahead and switch UNTIL I realized that people who did that tended to be obnoxious on the flights. Now, I refuse, unless I’m offered a better seat than my original seat.
Yep! Once I learned that almost every airline will absolutely work with parents who NEED to sit by younger children or kids with needs, I stopped having as much empathy. These parents simply didn't want to pay extra to sit with their kids. And if the kids are old enough, they know they can't get away with not paying and then relying on the airline to accommodate them. I am fully sympathetic with last minute trips (maybe a family emergency or funeral, etc...) where parents simply can't find 3 open seats together, but again, in those cases, if you call the airline or get there early and go to the gate agent or check in agent, they will almost always be able to get you seated together in a necessary situation. I have severe flight anxiety, and having my seat pre-selected is one way I help to mitigate it. I don't mind switching for an equivalent seat within a few rows of where I booked, but otherwise, it's not my problem. And I'm not generally that type of person either, but airfare costs time and money in order to be comfortable, and I spend a significant amount of time researching flight options and seat availability before choosing a flight. I don't think I owe it to someone else with poor planning skills to be uncomfortable for an expensive flight.
It's quite simple: "Your children have no comforts that I need to accommodate. I owe you and your children nothing. When you are old, your children will be there for you and you only. I gain nothing from this uneven transaction."
The fact that she assumed it’s all ok to just take your seat is very rude of her. Proud of you for taking your stance on the situation, and doing the right thing to take what’s yours.
Ya the mom should fly southwest then.
Yeah, rude AF! I'm a jet mechanic for Delta and people do the weirdest most inconsiderate stuff you can imagine. I see it all day, every time I'm at the gate working and it's still hard to believe!
I had the same thing happen to me. Two business men were sitting together and when I approached my seat and told the one man he was sitting in my seat he told me that I could take the seat behind mine which was his. He did not even ask me. They continued to engage in conversation, laughing etc. So arrogant.
@@cindyfreihofer2093I would have made him move.
Having kids is a choice don’t burden other people with your poor decisions
As a parent. I will always book my tickets with all my children next to me. The extra money it costs, is worth the peace of mind
That's the whole point! She doesn't want to pay this money; she expects somebody else gives up their seat, so she can save money!
@@xpsxps1339 and for that behaviour, she's trifling 😪
Why does it cost more money?
@@gaoxiaen1 join the 21st century, kiddo... [seat-selection is extra $$... and why? cuz airlines can]
@@gaoxiaen1 Because airlines realised that people are willing to pay so another way to make a buck...
Middle seat haha. Hell no. I’m not switching
I could understand if they were little little… but the youngest one is 11. Like the person said you can talk to the gate agent ahead of time or pay a little extra to sit together. The woman paid for her window seat.
I was already on her side before I watched this video. Now I'm even more grateful seeing her stand up for herself.
stand up for herself lol, the woman moved with no issue while the bitch that made the video passively agressively demeaned her
😂 Entitled twats do tend to stick together.
She was right to standup for herself. So many people today have such a sense of entitlement, even when they are in the wrong. More power to you.
Same. Stay where you are assigned. Don't alter the arrangement without asking 😊
honestly this women made up some sob story to excuse her being a karen.. i neeeed the window seat to sleep and look out and get motion sickness what a load of bs
This woman really didn't need to justify why she wanted to sit in the seat that she booked. Just say no. Being friendly with strangers has a time and place, but there are times when absolute conviction and determination are called for. This is one of them.
The woman b!tching about her entitlement to the seat and not letting the mom and children sitting together is not sensitive or kind. The gall of entitlement of this woman for lack of compassion and not swapping seats so they could sit with their mom.
@@grahamlucas2712yes because the mom was soooooo far away. The seat right behind them is soooooo not close to them. And because that lady tooootaly didn’t pay extra to have her window seat. Because that’s not how the American economy works noooooooo. Sure let me give up my seat that I paid 50 to 100 dollars extra for suuuuure. If the lady really cared that much about her kid she would have paid extra.
@@grahamlucas2712 Well since the woman who PURCHASED the option to have a window seat PAID the EXTRA she is not insensitive. Maybe mom shouldn't be so CHEAP and learn how to book EARLY. ITs people like you and the woman who had to sit behind her kids that are the entitled ones.
@cotton_candy4870 Plus, what do these idiots think is going to happen to their kids? A bear attack? The kids were 11ish and 15ish, and they can't SIT without supervision? These helicopter parents are THE WORST! My sister and I flew to visit relatives without ANY supervision when we were younger than that. It's no wonder kids these days grow up depressed and unable to cope with the slightest inconvenience - they've been coddled too much, for too long! I don't even care whether the woman paid for the seat. If that's her seat, then the Mom moves. If she argues, I'd simply reply, "That sounds like an issue between you and the airline. I suggest you take it up with them, AFTER you vacate my seat."
@@toddmacadam3888 Tod as your last name suggests. You are either nuts or the bedrock of a road to nowhere? This self entitled Karen would probably do the same thing if she had kids as this mom to be with her kids.
This happened to my husband and myself when a family of 5 wanted to sit together. We had both paid for aisle seats and wanted both of them. Isaid sorry no we paid in advance for these seats. At this point the ticket agent said would would we switch please as these people have 3 kids,to which I said should have thought of that. They did move them 2 rows back and gave us the evil the whole trip.were we wrong?
"Was I wrong for receiving the item I payed for?". Ofc not. Thats how contracts work. Lots of people leech by betting on the generosity of others to get stuff for free. Whats next? You buy food and a stranger grabs it after you payed bc "I want that"?
No. You guys were right. A lot of virtue signalling happens with some people who think they’re the only ones with kids. Goats have kids too 😉
No.
@@Xiallaci yeah. I'm a single female. somebody stole my groceries once after i paid for them. took them out of my cart while i was paying for them. luckily the store manager believed me and took me around the store and replaced everything.
I had a very similar thing happen. Long haul flight and I had deliberately paid extra, ahead of time, to pick an aisle seat, because I had an upset stomach and it's super stressful to have to wake people up to go to the toilet multiple times. A mum in a middle seat one row over goes "hey, would you mind switching with me so I can sit next to my daughter?" (12-ish year old sitting in the middle seat next to me) I replied apologetically that I was sorry but I needed an aisle seat. Did not elaborate because why tell the whole plane I have diarrhoea?? Woman gets huffy with me and goes on about how it's not fair, the airline didn't put them together, it's a long flight... I reply sorry, I deliberately booked this aisle seat. "Fine!" She says "Then I hope you know that you're responsible for my daughter for the duration of this flight!" I just smiled and nodded, because a) no way, that ain't legal, b) she's 12, she'll be fine, and c) you're just trying to get a rise out of me at this point 😂 Mum called a flight attendant and complained, to whom I also explained the situation. Eventually after a lot of fuss they managed to find a THIRD person who was prepared to do a 3-way swap, so that I could sit in ANOTHER aisle seat and mum could have her way. I agreed to move at that point because all I really wanted was an aisle seat, not a war 😂🤦♀️
And that girl probably hoped to be away from her mother :D
I’m a flight attendant and you definitely did the right thing for standing up for yourself. The ladies children were definitely old enough not require mom hovering over them. Kudos to you for not allowing her to low key bully you.❤✈️
I guess they probably have to give you training in that job to deal with these kinds of people. It's nice to travel but I'm not sure that's a job I'd want
Ikr? They're old enough to be home alone, they were fine with their mom being a single row behind!!
I agree, but you should not assume a child "looks" old enough to do something. Kids can have unseen issues, like autism, that could affect how they act or need to be treated long beyond how they may look for their age. Clearly that wasn't the case here, just saying, we can't assume someones abilities based on "looks." If that was this womans issue she most certainly would have ensured she was sitting with her kids. The mother in this case was acting entitled assuming she will just figure it all out on the plane, that her poor planning or not wanting to pay for seat priority could be someone elses problem.
If the children had special needs the parent can indicate that when booking and there are airline protocols to ensure they are together. It isnt a passengers or flight attendants responsibility. The seat was paid for and the woman had. a right to sit in her seat regardless of the kids.
Yes, but you know very well this is the airlines fault, they chargins for everything now.
I had someone sitting in my seat and asked him to move. He said he didn't want to sit in his assigned seat. I didn't argue with him and instead went to one of the flight attendants and she took care of it. The audacity and entitlement of people who just sit in someone else's seat before asking if it's okay is beyond me!!
You did the right thing.
LMAO, the audacity. I would have been like " Okay... I don't actually care that you don't want your assigned seat, that's not my business. However this seat that I paid for is so move your ass away tf". I'm happy the flight attendant took care of it for you lol.
I would’ve him “that sounds like a you problem” 😂
good for you
As long as you paid for the seat, with your money and not his,he needs to move his stupid ass to his assigned seat!! Besides, there's always an option to choose the particular seating area,one is comfortable with,so his excuse was bogus and silly.
I don’t understand why she didn’t buy the seats together. That’s so strange to me.
Because she knew she could pull this b.s. Who wouldn't book everyone together when you're the parent.
Switching paid seats is a mutual agreement not a demand insistence or dictate. People like her need to be fined by the airline for theft and causing others discomfort annoyance and trouble.
I had booked my flight 9 months in advance AND paid the extra fee for upgraded seat. When I got to my seat upon boarding a woman was sitting in my aisle seat. She refused to move. I asked for the flight attendant, and guess what? The flight attendant said to me, there is an aisle seat in the back row (next to the restrooms), could you accommodate this woman? I stood my ground, but both the flight attendant and the woman rolled their eyes at me, with the woman saying “You have a problem, I feel sorry for you!” I post this because you cannot depend on the flight attendants to help you obtain the seat you paid for. By the way, I had paid the big bucks for row 6, aisle seat.
You needed to report the flight attendant as soon as you landed. GUARANTEE she would be in trouble for not handling that right!
I had the same thing happen to me. A man with a thick eastern European accent stood over me saying over and over that I was sitting next to his wife and I needed to switch my aisle seat for his middle seat a few rows back. Um, no, I don't. I paid extra to pick an aisle seat because I get claustrophobic. It was just a 2 hour flight. Did he really need to sit next to her? The flight attendant was of NO help at all. Finally someone else grew tired of the man's whining and did some switching so they could sit together. It was so irritating to deal with especially since I paid more to reserve that seat.
The only problem you had was the passenger's discourtesy and the flight attendant's failure to back you up. Good for you for not going along with that rudeness.
Why wouldn't that same seat the flight attendant suggested, accommodate the seat stealing woman 😂
in our society, sadly, women are treated like they are idiots. What's worse is that OTHER women will treat them like idiots, it's not always a man who will do his....it's woman vs. woman. It's very abusive. You had two women beating up on you....real nice of them. Shame on the flight attendant--what was HER problem??
This is why I pay extra to pick my seats and make sure I’m sitting with my kids. You can’t expect others to cater to you!
Exactly! Stop being cheap people. And if you can't afford it, then don't travel. I just flew an international trip with my 4 kids under the age of 7, along with my husband and mother. The kids were already assigned next to me per the airline, but we paid extra to ensure my mom and husband were next to us as well. You cannot assume you'll get those seats or people will move for you.
Thank you. Just because they choose to have kids, they think " its for the kids ". That no longer flies . The airlines need Family Flights . Leave us solo travelers alone
Not always a guarantee, unfortunately. We flew last month w/ our 9 month old and American Airlines still split up our family the night before without warning and refused to put us together bc the flight was full. The only reason we got from the airline was that the plane changed and the system wasn't "smart enough to keep families together". We purchased more and were still booted...so keep an open mind here lol
@@ldavis798 Did you pre select your seats and then they separated you? We fly often and have never been bumped from our preselected seats, especially because I pay an upgraded prices for the seat selection.
@@kristhaaan yea we did & my husband has really good status for priority with American Airlines (still didn't matter), We had never known it to be a thing either and we were so upset and surprised that the airline couldn't do a thing about it. They empathized with us and agreed it was wrong but they didn't do anything about it. We even paid for the more legroom seats, picked a window so that I could hold our baby to sleep and we still got split up, even with an infant.
If you want to pick your seat pay. If you don’t want to pay don’t gripe & expect others to accommodate you. I was sitting in the back of a flight & upon exiting had a woman get mad because I didn’t barge my way out. Instead I was waiting patiently for my turn & told her if she was in a hurry (she had no connection just complaining about work in the morning which I had as well) she should’ve paid for a closer seat. We exited & I made the mistake of walking first. My thirteen year old daughter that looks 10 told me that the pig pushed her to the side & barged in front of her. If I knew at the time I would’ve called security. But daughter didn’t tell me until later. Grinds my gears how entitled & rude people get.
You do not need to explain why you wanted to sit in the seat you purchased. The entitlement...
She knew where she and her children were sitting when she bought the tickets. Thank you for standing your ground.
Agreed!
No compassion
No. She probably didn’t pay for the seats ahead of time. So the airline assigned the seats at check in.
@@heleneboisvert-gravelle8081 Yeah, thats what they said. She waited for the last minute and those were the only seats available. Then she has the nerve to blame the airlines. The entitlement! Man, she was much nicer than I wouldve been.
Not really. They usually assign the seats when you check-in right before the flight.
Good for her! I'm happy to switch seats, but not for anyone who acts entitled about it.
Thinking she the mother was trying to manipulate her, glad she stood up for herself.
Agree!
I’m happy to switch, as long as it’s not a middle seat. 😅
This Happened To Me Before , A Child Was Sitting In My Seat 😅
Exactly, ask first!
You do not need to explain yourself. You purchased the seat. It's yours.
I hate that the storyteller felt the need to list her reason for not giving away her seat. No is a complete sentence.
Happened to me a couple of months ago. My husband and I were sitting on the middle/window seats, that we paid in advance (on the 3rd row even) when a family of three (mom, son and father) arrived. The father was so pissed that they had to split (mother and son sent to the back) and was fully complaining to the stewardess. The stewardess kindly asked us if we were willing to change with them. I firmly said no. I paid in advance for a close to the door seat, a window one, and most importantly, to be seated with my husband. The man was mad again because we wouldn't change with them, and that they "were a family". My husband looked at him calmly and said "We are a family too, just because we don't have kids, gives you the right to take our seats. If you wanted SO BAD to seat with your wife and son, you should have bought the seats in advance. And if you didn't, because you are cheap, that's your problem, not ours". Then we just put on our earphones and hold our hands like nothing was going on. I hate entitled mothers/fathers/families that assume that their group has more rights than others. If you want things to go a certain way, plan ahead, and if you don't do that, suck it up.
LOVE your husband's response! A man of gold!!!!!!❤
"My husband and I." English, it matters.
Wow😂
@@peterd9427 English is my second language (out of 5), what’s your excuse for your punctuation issues? Yes, I checked your other comments.
You and your husband are a treasure I love it!!
I admire the fact that you kindly stood up for yourself and persisted in getting your seat by the window. How presumptuous of that mother to take your seat in the first place!
You don't pay extra for a window seat. The gall of entitlement of this woman for lack of compassion and not swapping seats so they could sit with their mom.
@@grahamlucas2712You do pay extra for a window seat and class of travel.
@@bretsbrit Wow. And your loss if you give up your seat to a mom and still young children is what? 2 tenths of stuff all in the scheme of things. We are not talking about a different class. we are talking about a different seat. it is likely a domestic flight. Not long haul. People in the USA seem to be the most self entitled and selfish people on the Planet.
@@grahamlucas2712the mother didn’t even ask if the lady was okay with switching seats. She just assumed the lady was going to agree. I am terrified of closed spaced but I will specifically get a window seat because it helps looking outside a window.
I won't care. If I'm tired and the seat is worse no way I will switch.
Stop explaining why you didn’t trade. You paid for the ticket, she was wrong.
My favorite thing is people voluntarily making the choice to raise children and then expecting everyone else to support their choice by sacrificing every resource out there for them. Irregardless of whether it actually bothers me I'd never agree to switch seats in this situation just to not create the impression of impunity and freedom in the mind of a parent using their children as a free pass for every situtation.
I think you’re hugely exaggerating, this has not been my experience with families.
I agree with you. Being a 'parent' means taking care of things at the right time.
I had this happen to me on my last flight. I was shocked that the person was mad that I wanted my window seat I had paid for specifically. She cursed to her husband the entire flight. Oh well, to bad, next time do what others do and PAY FOR THE SEAT YOU WANT. So over these people.
The thing that always gets me is somehow these people always manage to board during pre-boarding even though they don’t have strollers or something that normally qualifies you for pre-boarding. Like they know the f’d up by buying basic economy that doesn’t let them choose a seat, so now their plan is get on board, take whatever they like, and prepare to guilt trip anyone who insists on sitting in their specifically chosen seat which they paid extra for.
@@omgyeti2049 IIRC there’s usually something on your ticket that says whether you’re qualified for pre-boarding, I don’y think you can just sneak into it. Just like it says (at least w/ the airlines I’ve flown) whether or not you are allowed a carry-on bag.
Right, it’s insane people feel entitled to a seat other than what’s on their boarding pass! If you can’t get a seat switched by the staff, sit in your assigned seat, simple.
People with small children are offerd the chance to preboard. I believe the woman was holding a baby.
@@gailhitson7340 Whether you have a child or an impairment doesn’t mean you can sit anywhere. Most airlines have assigned seats. Southwest I believe is the exception? My husband and I pay to PICK our seats due to his disability. No way would we switch. If mom is so concerned about her teenage kids she should have paid to be seated together. Easy fix for an easy problem!
That happened to me both ways on my last vacation. It's infuriating that these people assume everyone is okay switching with them just because they didn't buy their ticket early enough to get the seat they wanted. You paid for and picked the seat you wanted. Don't let anyone guilt you into changing if you don't want to. Good job standing up for yourself!!
this is why you should never ever be kind to others, just stick with your rights and what you've paid for. being kind to human is a useless thing.
Happened to me on my business class flight, with a boyfriend wanting to sit with his girlfriend. I had paid a lot of money to go from London to Sydney, and on the second leg of the flight, I’d booked the pod in the exact orientation I wanted, as some are right next to the aisle and I wanted window, which is more private. I ended up feeling so bad, as the stewards weren’t exactly helpful and I made it obvious I didn’t want to move. I did move, begrudgingly. That flight cost £7000! And, I ended up in a crappy seat. My own fault. I was tired.
@@onengkusumah2905right. I didn’t even want to be kind…. But I was.
@@onengkusumah2905 Sarcasm I hope!
No one cares you’re telling your story to the ether
16k in comments on this? That's the crazy part.
You don't owe anyone an explanation. She was wrong and should have booked all three in a row if it was that important to her.
It wasn't like those kids were babies, theyre teenagers! And it was only the row behind them. People are so weird. Good for this woman for standing up for herself
Exactly.... They were older. If she was so concerned she could have paid for all seats to be together.
Manipulative mother.
theyclosechannelsthatspeak428, Exactly what I was thinking!
The kids might have been happy Not sitting with cranky mom!! The business women chose the window seat for a reason! I would have ask flight attendant to handle it!
Who cares if they were older or not. Sit in your own seat.
A man did this to me years ago. I was on a work trip and had booked a window seat, got to my seat and man was sitting there. I politely told him that he was in my seat, and he said “well you can sit in mine”, which was the middle seat in the next aisle. I again, politely told him that I didn’t want his middle seat, I wanted my window seat. He ignored me, and probably thought I would cave since I was a young 23yr old and he was a grown man. Nope, my parents didn’t raise me without a backbone, I clearly and loudly told him that I would go get the flight attendant so that she could assist him to his assigned seat. He huffed and puffed, called me B, but got out of my seat. People have some nerve.
Seriously? What did he said to you? I would have called him and his mom a "b". The audacity of males acting 24/7 like a B but called that to women.
You should have told the stewardess and if she didn’t report to the airline. They could have tracked him down later, maybe told to customer service. They don’t want unruly passengers using their airline.
Good for you in standing up for yourself...we TEACH people how to treat us and what we will and will not accept. Just last week I went to the movies...ONE aisle seat left ..in the back (in the wheelchair /companion section) which was perfect. I get there and a woman is in my seat, asks me to verify then acknowledges that someone was in her seat so she sat in mine. Respectfully, asked her if she wanted me to get attendant to assist in getting HER seat (she was older). She accepted my offer but by the time I returned she was already informing the person in her seat (aisle row in front of me; their seat was 5 seats in) It worked out and hopefully showed the original seat takers "folks PICK their seats for a reason" !
Hmmm… this clearly didn’t happen
They should have kicked him off
The audacity of some air travelers is completely incredulous
#1 reason why fights break out. People who do not sit in their assigned seats.
Some people's sense of entitlement is astounding. If you want to sit next to your kids, you book seat together in advance. Duh!
Some people with children may be flying for medical reasons, to see a Dr. in another state. Those people may not have money to get their own tickets., so they can't choose. It won't be obvious. Assuming peoples intentions and situation is ignorant.
@@noneofyourbusiness4595 assuming somebody should give up their seat because you want it is not acceptable either
@@noneofyourbusiness4595shut the fuck up, asshole! That is still NO excuse for what she did! She could have politely ASKED that woman if she minded changing seats beforehand, instead of just STEALING it! There is nothing to assume in this situation, this person was blatantly IGNORANT! Period!

and a nasty beotch!!!!
There's a name for women like her...they're called "Karens" 😏
I am sure the kids were fine but she was only guessing the ages. The girl could have been 8 for all we know.
@@charlottesmith1662 No they were definitely older than that lol
@@charlottesmith1662 I don’t care if she was 5! That’s not her problem. If you want to sit with your kids then BOOK with your kids. You have to pay the price instead of relying on a stranger to be “nice” which, btw, the woman was. Being “nice” doesn’t mean giving up what you need for the comfort or needs of others - that’s naivety! That’s foolishness. That’s not having a strong sense of self. My “no” requires no further explanation.
I’ve flown with my kids their entire lives. To avoid this issue I always paid to pre book our seats so we were all together. I’ve never ever felt that anyone else owed me their seat so I just simply made sure that we prebooked our seats.
She should have paid to choose her seats. It was your option.
This just happened to me 2 weeks ago. A 12-ish year old boy wouldn't move when I told him it was my seat and showed him my ticket. He just stonewalled and wouldn't speak. Just before I looked for an attendant his father (I guess) came and chased him out of the seat. This woman is RIGHT. Don't be a wuss. Claim your seat!
I did not see that on an airplane but I saw it once in a buss, just to be clear I was in the buss when that happen it did not happen to me. Pretty much a guy did not wanted to move even the women payed for the seat, it was that bad that the buss driver told the guy he movie or he would be trown from the buss.
Was it a window seat that boy was in?
@@007nadineL yes
As a person who makes sure to pay for seats in advance to get the window seat, I totally co-sign with this traveler.
Same here!. I've been booking windows seats since 1991in my military days as well. I would not have switched either. I just feel more at ease as I don't really like flying.
do you fly often? im asking just because if you do, you would know that if everyone is under the same reservation, they will put you together. Not close, but together. no need to pay.
Same here but Aisle as I have a bad knee and need to stretch.
I've always been a window seat guy but after my last long flight from dubai I'm going aisle for long flights
@@stevenscummy1458whats a aisle seat?
That should not have been made her problem. Mom sit back, you can see your kids. See and converse with the kids sitting behind them.
Good for you for standing up for yourself. Sounds like she planned to do it this way because she might of done a reservation when the plane was almost full and couldn't find the 3 seats available and figured she could manipulate this situation. Glad it back fired on her! You were very kind to her and to yourself!
The worst part is, she feels like she has to justify that she said no. F$&@ that. This entitled society needs to get over itself!
I had this happen to me. A mother wanted to sit by her son and wanted me to move back fifteen rows to her seat. I explained I had paid extra for an aisle seat and for my seat near the front and I wasn't moving. Unfortunately I was given the cold shoulder by the flight attendant ,who felt I was wrong. The flight attendant even made a snide remark upon departure from the plane.I had booked the ticket/seat two months in advance so I wasn't moving.
Complain to the airline demand a refund and never fly with them again that's unacceptable
Boo on the Flight Attendant. Enabler...
Such an unprofessional flight attendant. I would have definitely called in to complain; the attendant should have been retrained, and you should have been given some compensation for that behavior.
@@beachbro714how can you complian about a entirely made up story?
@@northleedspoppaWhy do you think this is made up? Have you never dealt with people in real life. Here's a story. Random internet loser invalidates random strangers life experience for no reason. Sounds about narc to me.
I’m glad you stood up for yourself and the woman knew she wanted a different seat but she figured she just wouldn’t pay for it
As a parent, I double check BEFORE the flight to make sure I am seated with my child. If not, I go to the counter, asked to be moved together because I have a small child, and everything is right again. It really is that simple. This type of thing should be taken care of before the flight.
I had this happen at a concert a few years ago. Four couples were trying to sit together and our group of four split them up. The tickets were all the same prices, and they were actually really nice about it with how they asked. Even offered us $100 to change seats. We told them it wasn't necessary, and they ended up buying us a round of beers anyways. It sounds like the woman in this case handled it very poorly. I commend this lady for standing her ground and not letting her switch seats.
This is how it's done. A little EQ goes a long way.
Concert vs plane very different types of people ages an reason for being there. Concert a happy place. Planes a bus ride you cant get off but can die on.😂

Definitely. I'll trade for equal or better, but don't poach first and ask later or any swap becomes unlikely at that point. And, definitely don't have conversations with poachers about why. Just a "no thanks" will do.
she wasnt felling entitled at all, she took an empty seat beside her children and moved when the person showed up for it, the only entitled person here is the one who made the video and your right she paid for the seat, however she passively aggressively made a video to demean the woman, the woman probably never even said a word except sorry i guess this is your seat and said i just was hoping to sit with my kids, the only stink caused here is the bitch who made the video
As a flight attendant myself, I completely agree with your stance.
Why didn’t she ask the middle and isle seat people from a different isle to switch. How presumptuous.
Imagine feeling that you have to apologize for sitting in the seat you paid for.
I flew a lot for many years. I always booked a window seat. I fully understand what Tammy felt. STAND UP FOR YOUR SEAT!!!

@@eaglerider1826 you sleep best on window seat, you have a place to lean on and no other passengers walk over you.

It's nice to run into this behavior. It is a reminder not to do it to anyone else. People are way too comfortable.
I let my daughters sit away from me on flights staring when they were 8 and 10. The people that sat next to them told me they were the best behaved kids they'd ever seen. When you are comfortable in how you raise them, you dont mind sitting away. They were fine. The now 16-year-old just got back from Spain with her school. She made me proud. Very secure in herself. ❤ no helicoptering needed.

Really you can easily fix this. She should be sitting with her kids anyway. Who wants to sit next to strangers on the plane.

I have been in this situation before, it's uncomfortable when a nobody puts you on the spot and then tries to make you feel guilty for not bending the rules.
What gets me every-time is that, those people want to ‘switch’ seats will always go after nicer seats. I have never once seen them offer their better seats to someone 🤷🏻♀️
I did it once. it was a small aircraft with only three seats in a row, a single seat on one side and two on the other. I had the window seat and my husband had the single seat on the other side of the aisle, and I asked the man in the aisle seat next to my window seat to switch with my husband. I would consider the single seat, which is both aisle and window at the same time, to be the more desirable seat to somebody traveling alone. And he agreed to the trade. Since then, however, I have paid more attention to our boarding passes prior to boarding to see if we are seated together. My husband is deaf and depends on me for communication, and I will inform the gate agent of our need to sit together. And the seat selection business at the time of booking the tickets doesn't work. People who say "I paid for this seat" don't know what they are talking about; airlines switch equipment (aircraft) all the time, and the different aircraft have different floor plans.
I have. I took a middle seat so I could sit by my wife. The airline canceled our flight and did not put us back in our original seats when they put us on the new flight.
On a very long flight I booked an aisle and a window for my daughter and I knowing that she would sleep for the majority of the flight in the window seat (which she was very good at - I would suggest she was 11 or 12 and very independent). When a older man approached the seats (knowing he was in the middle seat) he demanded I move to the middle to be next to my daughter. I said it was fine - that she would be sleeping and we would not be talking or disturbing him and if she did want to talk we would head to the back of the plane together to stretch our legs (like I said - this was to Australia so a long long flight). He refused and said I needed to take the middle seat. Annoyingly I gave up because I did not want him to be horrible to both of us from the middle seat for 10 plus hours. Honestly though - just get online and secure your seats. I got next to no sleep at all because not only did he take the aisle seat he did the standard male move of taking both armrests for himself. So annoying.
of course!
@@lucindaarmour4685why would you want a stranger to sit next to your kid ? I’m sorry. It that thought process is questionable
The fact that she knew she was taking someone’s seat and assumed that would be okay is really frustrating
Yeah, she was probably trying the "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" thing, but in this case, it actually would have been better or at least more polite to ask for permission.
Welcome to 2023
You did the right thing. She didn’t book the seats together and thought she would just guilt someone into letting her have theirs.
I was once told, and I don't know if it's true, that if you switch seats and the plane crashes, it's more difficult to find your body if you are not where you should be. Other than that, if you cannot organize your seating before you get on the plane, sucks to be you, don't bother other people.
You get the seat you paid for. Period. Good for you for standing up for it. At 12 and for sure at 15 my son was thrilled to sit by himself on the plane.
No kidding. At 12 I was watching other people's kids, and could travel just fine with a book. Didn't need a controlling parent watching me like a hawk.
Amen Helicopter Mom's think they can do anything they want. She should have bought her tickets for her and her kids far enough ahead to get the seats she wanted or paid more - period
Stand your ground folks, been flying for over sixty years, never ran into this attitude until just recently, lot’s of self entitled narcissistic behavior, do not bend, it just encourages them, sad times we’re living in😢
@@MikeDonaldson-eh2ru I have a medical issue that requires very frequent rest room visits, on two separate occasions I have individuals that disrespected my legitimately purchased assigned seat, which required paying an additional fee! This is just another example of societal decline in basic manners, plan ahead don’t create unnecessary problems for other travelers! Nothing more to say!
Social decline comes from lack of decorum from leaders, and manners in public. I'm 50 and remember the times when ppl said good morning, evening, and just polite mannerisms, thank yous, and so on. Today ppl are extremely rude to others, and most of the time ignore others completely, and stay on their devices. So as much as I blame parents, it's actually society that eventually makes it's own standards of behaviors now, and you could be the most polite person in the world, but the world doesn't care and will break you down piece by piece

You never need apoligize nor explain why you chose AND PAID FOR the seat you did. ❤
The sickening selfishness, egocentrism, INHUMANITY and ENTITLEMENT of this *dumb pathetic woman* deprived her of sleep (and peace and joy and rest) for the whole flight anyways! And from what I am observing: for years to come! What an incredible, blinded, *self-infatuated fool* 🤯🙄🤯 She could've denied herself a little here for the sake of a family, and received great rewards from the Almighty God later! Instead, she made this whole international fuss of this alleged "nonissue", deprived *her own stupid self* of sleep the entire flight, made much ado about nothing, and is still dealing with this pathetic "non-issue" to this day! Making herself infamously scandalously "popular" throughout the entire country! And even across the world, where I am watching from right now. What a pathetic spoiled egotistical prideful Witch! All she had to do is say "yes sure, no big deal, no problem at all!" And slept peacefully for the rest of the flight in her comfortable middle seat. One piece of advice for ANYONE traveling by any means: Carry good *EARPLUGS* with you, and you'll be able to sleep in the noisiest places ever imaginable with NO PROBLEM whatsoever!!! And you won't have to whine about non-issues like a baby, as if your life depends on it❗️ I mean, this grown woman is so pathetic, it's not even funny!!! Just very very incredibly sad, what this world has come to... The American nation has turned into a pathetic mob of spoiled, sheltered, pampered, entitled, SELFISH and HELPLESS *whiny snowflakes, cupcakes and wimps!* 🙄🙄 No wonder the harshest judgment of God is coming to your land very soon. Get a life, lady. You so LAAAAAAAAAME!!!
I don't explain. I just say move.
True, but it is not definitively impolite to ask if one would mind the trade. It is only impolite to not accept the answer or to take the seat without having asked and given permission for it. It may be impolite if one had an alternative that was both honest, equitable and unselfish..
Bam!
@@StuartKlimek I disagree. Any response from the seat holder is perfectly fine regardless of "equity". It's their seat and they can choose to keep it regardless of what the other person thinks. She'll get over it... life goes on.

@@grahamlucas2712 Its not entitlement. It was HER seat. She didn't HAVE to give it up. It was her choice and she decided she'd rather not. Maybe you can argue lack of compassion but honestly thats not a requirement. Entitlement was expecting that woman to give up her seat for THEIR comfort.
I wonder if that was the same lady who did this to me when I was in my 20's except it was a stopover and I had only gone to the bathroom. When I got back, the new flyers had boarded and this woman decided to sit in my seat where my bag, phone, and other personal items were. She didn't even wait to ask. She said, "oh, is this your seat? Can I sit here with my son?" I was too young then and didn't have the courage to say anything. In fact, I almost cried.. I thought I adults knew better. I'm glad this lady stood up for herself.
This woman keeps apologizing and explaining herself why she wants her seat. I would have just said “ lady, move your in my seat “. No need for explanations or anything. If the other lady didn’t make previous seat reservations for all three of her family, that’s her problem !!
