Woman refuses to give up seat on plane to 'tall man' who 'asked her to budge'
dailyrecord.co.ukA woman has told how she refused to give up her seat on a plane for a man who was 6ft 4in tall. The woman, who says she is 4ft 11, said she paid around £45 for extra legroom at the front of the plane because she had somewhere she needed to get to quickly after landing.
As she got comfortable, the tall man approached her and asked her to budge. But the Mirror reports she refused to move.She wrote on Reddit: "The first time he asked politely saying that he is 6'4 and flying is painful for him can we please change seats?
I was open to it until I saw that his seat was way in the back of the plane so I told him no sorry I paid extra to sit up front. "He kind of got increasingly mad and wouldn't leave saying that there's no reason someone of my height needs extra legroom (I told him I paid to be upfront)."Asking for fellow Reddit users for their thoughts on the matter, she continued: "I suggested that he ask the other people in those seats if they could swap but he refused saying that he wouldn't want to bother other men or split up couples.
He kept getting rude and angry so I just called over a flight attendant who told him to go sit down. "For the rest of the flight he would walk past for no reason slamming into me (I was sitting aisle)."A number of people were shocked by the male passenger's rudeness and reassured the post writer that she'd done nothing wrong by standing her ground.One person commented: "So my brother is 6'6".
