Have you ever witnessed someone behaving badly on a plane? The cramped conditions, long flights, and delays can bring out the worst in even the most patient of passengers. A family who recently took seats on a plane found themselves seated near a group of people who were not only rude but also refused to follow basic airline etiquette. However, what unfolded next could only be described as instant karma in all its glory. Read on to discover the incredible story of this family’s flight from hell and how they ultimately got the last laugh.
Travelling by plane can be a nerve-wracking experience, but it can be made even worse when something goes wrong. One woman discovered this on a recent flight when another family took her pre-booked seats. After boarding with her family and finding that their allocated seats were already taken, the woman made the decision not to make a fuss and instead moved to the available spare seats to avoid causing a scene. In an interesting turn of events, the woman then witnessed karma at hand when the family who stole her seats encountered an issue.
Writing on the Reddit forum ‘Stolen Seats,’ the woman described what happened when she and her family discovered their seats were already taken. The family who had taken their seats were not apologetic, and the teenage daughter told them that she arrived first without looking up from her phone. The woman and her family chose not to cause a problem and instead, they just sat in the available seats. However, karma quickly made its presence known.
The woman explained that, during the flight, the mother who refused to even make eye contact with them leaned over and asked if their USB outlets were working. The woman replied, “Yes, they are.” The mother then proceeded to ask, “Oh my, are yours not working?” The woman responded, “None of them? Isn’t that a shame? Especially since we sat on the runway for a bit over an hour, and it is a long flight. I imagine batteries are getting low.” Karma had seemingly struck the family who had stolen their seats, and the woman couldn’t help but feel vindicated.
Redditors who read the woman’s story were thrilled to hear of the instant karma at play. One person commented that they always make sure to have two fully charged power packs in their personal bag while traveling. They jokingly added that the family who had stolen the woman’s seats was apparently not good at planning ahead for traveling. Another Redditor remarked that they were curious as to why the family chose to sit in identical seats across the aisle from their assigned seats.
Overall, the woman’s story is a reminder that it pays to be kind and courteous, even in frustrating circumstances. While it can be tempting to lash out when something goes wrong on a flight, choosing to remain calm and composed can sometimes have better outcomes. In this case, the woman and her family avoided causing a scene, and they were able to enjoy their flight in peace. Meanwhile, the family who had stolen their seats were forced to deal with the consequences of their actions. It’s a perfect example of how good deeds are rewarded, and bad deeds are punished – even at 30,000 feet.
