I had a kid kicking my seat once and when I looked behind me the kid’s mother was calmly ignoring the situation, looking rather comfortable and pleased with herself. I attempted to get her attention, but she ignored me, so I raised my voice and told her very firmly to control the child and make him stop kicking. With a sigh of annoyance she actually did what I told her do (mind you I made it very clear that I was not asking a question). About ten minutes later the kid was at again and I turned around and this time the was on it very quickly. Moral of the story: do not engage the child, ever. Hold the obnoxious parent accountable.
I'm Gen X. To this day, I still feel like Charlie finding the golden ticket every time I get on a plane. "Oh my god -- I'm about to FLY" pretty much. 54 years old, I still grin like a 12 year old kid when the plane takes off. Then if you behave, they bring you soda and snacks. And now you can watch a FREAKING MOVIE on a lot of flights. Of your choice.
I wish I could enjoy flying like you but I always end up getting sick on those thing, wouldn’t matter if it was first class or Air Force One I would still be sick.
Unless you book really early, you should be able to tell if the middle seat thing is likely to work. You can see how many seats have already been reserved and how full the flight is. What's stupid here is she wouldn't be able to keep her crap on the seat during take off, anyway. It's also dependent on things like flight time, whether the route is more commonly used for business or personal, etc.
yeah i was thinking they wouldnt let her keep the stuff there either but i think her whole point was just to discourage someone else from sitting there.
Last story: If the OP's boyfriend can't afford to eat out then he shouldn't go, period. Plus it's super disrespectful to volunteer someone for something without their prior knowledge or consent. That along with all his manipulation and comparing her to his ex's should be more than enough reason for the OP to dump him.
Last story: That was a valuable lesson. Money is the #1 cause of couple fights - and too many people who aren't good with money will happily make their problem someone else's problem if given an opportunity.
Sounds like her boyfriend felt entitled to her money. Not even asking if she will pay for the dinner, and then trying to bully her into it?! What a jerk! Here's a thought....since she like his parents, she can have them over for dinner and not invite their son...her (hopefully) EX!
Second story: That's really the story of almost all bullies. My own bully stopped when I finally beat him up and I was half his size. Wouldn't let him out of an arm lock my cousin taught me until he agreed to leave me the hell alone. He backed off, and he never messed with me again. I was also left alone at the playground after that, too. Violence is only a virtue to the vicious, and the only answer they will take when peace was never on the table to begin with.
i never blame someone for defending themselves. my dad said, if u can walk away from a fight, u walk away. if u cant, take them out with the first shot then walk away. then he showed us all how to NOT punch 'like a girl.' i never had to hit anyone more than once; they immediately found something else to do. bullies are just cowards with big mouths.
I believe the lady was stuck at the airport all night. Because she probably pulled the same crap the day before and got booted off the flight only to rebook on OP's flight. Now she needs to rebook for an even later flight to most likely pull the same crap again.
People are always trying to take someone else's set on a plane, as well as trying to get a free upgrade. My husband and I always book seat together, so when we got on the plane and I found there was an old lady sitting next to me, I was surprised. She was quite relaxed and happy, and I thought my husband must be in the open seat behind me. But someone else took THAT seat. My husband had called a flight attendant to sort the issue, as his boarding pass put him in the seat beside me. The FA asked to see the old lady's boarding pass, and told her she was in the wrong seat. She was all smiling and saying, "Oh, I don't mind swapping seats. I'm already here, and I'm disabled, so..." The thing is, I AM disabled and really need my husband near me, I need the leg room and proximity to the bathroom available only in first class, and swapping seat with the old girl would have put him in the very back of the plane. The old lady clearly did not want to move, and was playing the old lady game to the hilt in the effort to get the seat for herself. The FA finally ordered her out of the seat and told her to go back to her assigned seat. The old lady huffed and almost worked up tears, and pretended to limp all the way down the aisle to her seat. She demanded a wheelchair when we landed, but we were at the luggage claim when she showed up with a skycap pushing her chair. He left her on her own, and she hopped out of the wheelchair and grabbed her luggage like a champ. She staked her bags on a luggage cart she appropriated, and off she went on her own, schlepping her own luggage. All of which only proves that you can't trust anybody's story when they're trying to scam a better seat on a plane.
I had a problem with a kid kicking the back of my seat and not stopping so I turned around and told the parent I am legally disabled with six spine fusions and if they did not stop I would file suit and charges. It made the parent make them stop. I have no idea if I could but it worked.
WAY TO GO!!! I LOVE IT!! I also am physically disabled with spinal issues. I can’t even tolerate sitting on a bleacher seat at grandchildren’s ballgames with someone kicking them and making them vibrate. I will stand if necessary because it is more comfortable. I ALWAYS ALWAYS made my children stop doing things like that. I also make my husband not tap his hand on them. 😂😂 Yep child come in all shapes, sizes and ages. 🤣🤣
Being a "larger" man (6'1" 400#) those 18" coach seats were a pinch. When flying I get to the ticketing counter early, the agent assigns me a seat and then asks me to wait. They fill in the seats around me, typically leaving an empty 3-seat row or someone of smaller stature (child) in one of the other seats.
yeah now they make u pay for two adjoinging seats; also some airlines try to charge u more if ur over a certain weight. once a man complained that 'he didnt want to use my hip for an armrest.' ok i'm a girl, no shame in crying. flight attendent put me in first class then came back and told me she carved him a new one. neither one knew i was on my way to pull the plug on my dying mother. awful trip, that one.
I used to be a frequent flyer and have flown next to people like that. Once I just sat on their crap and said whoops sorry. Another time they tried to put all their crap under the seat in front of me and I made sure anything in it was crushed. One time this happened and when she went to the bathroom I opened her carryon under my feet and dumped a drink in it.
Ive heard that advice but they also said that if it doesnt work, you can ask the middle person if they want the aisle or window seat, which they probably will be happy to do
i think the middle seat thing only works on underbooked flights. Nobody books a middleseat if there are other options. however at the point, were the plane gets full, every single seat will be booked. However as i nice person, you could still ask to swap seats.
This is especially true today. They'd rather cancel a flight than not have it be close to full or full. For the past 20 years, they've been doing everything to squeeze every dime out out of every seat.
From what I have heard, what you are supposed to do if the flight if is full is use the fact that you have both the aisle and window seat as bargaining chips so that your party stays together with then idea being, if the flight is not full you get an extra seat, if it is full then one person in your party will be in the middle but the other gets their pick of window or aisle. I think most people forget about the second half of the plan and just see "free seat" and don't look any further
HA! So like any school system to put the blame on the victim. I was bullied in school (I was that lanky guy) by some trash, what he didn't know is that I was practicing pro wrestling at the time (while being a show, the difference between a head lock hurting or not is how much pressure you use), so he threw a water bottle at my friends and as we played some card game during recess, being a breaking point, I got up to his face in the hall and shouted to stop messing with us, he answered by shoving me, and very awkwardly head locking me (WWE was really popular back then), so I just lifted my arm and shifted my weight to head lock him instead, actually held it right and made him moan in pain, some of the kids said a teacher was coming so I released him, she passed by and I told him that he better wise up or get a couple more sessions of pain, he never looked my way again. Bullies are usually weak and over confident, find your confidence and perhaps train yourself a bit, and stand up to them, the high and mighty may say violence is wrong but it's not your responsibility to be the educator of the ignorant - it's the failure of their parents.
A lot of schools don't want to both with actually figuring out what happened so they have a "no tolerance" policy for any fighting. Everyone gets suspended no matter who started it or why. While I was never a very good fighter, I'm glad I grew up long before that.
I remember in 7th grade, I was bullied nearly every day. I was in the deans office at least 3 times a week. Second to last day of school I got fed up and I pushed him back. The dead told me had it not been so close to the end of the year I would have been suspended but they will let it slide since school ended the next day. I was upset and my mom was furious asking why nothing ever happened to the bully and the dead said how they had no reports on file about him bullying me. The following year I moved halfway through the year to another state but ended up moving back for high school. We ran into my old dead as she apparently lived around the corner from us. She stopped me on day and asked how things were since moving away from the bullying. She had literally acknowledged that I had been bullied even though less then 2 years prior she said there had been no cases. This is how you know schools care more about reputation then their students.
I got nearly suspended in middle school 'cause the usual clown tribe of my class was harassing me for my katana moves with a 1 meter ruler. I touch-hitted (it was nothing) one of them and made the "show pain to gain" move (evident soccer player). We ended both with being scolded and a call to our parents from our teacher.
@@fidelianerina they tried to expel me after 7 kids tried to jump me on the bus. The reason they hated me was that I was the schools star at that time (I was upstaged before the year was done). I was the top player on my football team, had straight A’s and just won a science fair competition. I loved the attention and I will admit that I may have been obnoxious about it. These kids start teasing me and bullying my. On the bus ride home they jumped me and I defended myself. The bus driver ended up calling the police and I ended up shoving one kid so hard he cracked his head on the glass. Another kid I ended up breaking his nose. Quite a few people on the bus had to go to the hospital. All of the kids on the bus said that I didn’t start the fight and that I even tried to leave from my seat to the front of the bus. There ended up with half the bus fighting or trying to stop the fighting. The school district sought to expel me and only suspend my attackers for 2 weeks. My mother went to the school board and pitched a fit. When they said that I had hospitalized 2 kids (which was true one I punched in the throat and didn’t know how dangerous that was at the time.) and that they had to take action for other parents to feel safe about sending their kids to school my mother decided she would destroy the schools. She got a lawyer and the local news. The moment it hit the news the school board resented my suspension but my mother wasn’t satisfied. By the end of the investigation launched by the police the school was forced to pay my medical bills and forced to make a formal apology. The 2 kids that started the whole thing were suspended and the teacher that knew this was going on was given a formal warning and was retrained on how to deal with bullies. The 5 other kids were forced to write formal apologies to me and I heard 3 of them got severely punished at home. The school district was dragged through the mud for the remainder of the year. All of this kept me out of school for a month and my grades suffered for it. This was a long time ago and I am now a grown adult and praying the schools do a better job at protecting kids as my daughter starts pre-k next year. That incident will live with me for the rest of my life and it took therapy for me to get over it. I didn’t develop trust issues I just won’t be stuck in a corner and I don’t do crowds now. I also have issues when people get loud with me. My Ex was actually very helpful in helping me to curb my anxiety and that allowed me to be more open with the woman I would eventually marry. My ex may have been crazy but she was crucial in helping me get over the bullies I dealt with when I was younger. And yea my ex is a crazy bag of cats unto itself.
My sister had a problem with a bully in school so she punched her in the face. The other girl was a known trouble maker but the teachers wouldn't do anything about her. My sister was sent to the principal's office. The principle said she would have to be punished. My sister leaned forward toward the principal and said in a menacing tone, "If you punish me for defending myself from a known bully, next time I'll make it worth my while." She said the principal went white and sent her back to class.
First story: It's amazing how immature some adults will get to just get their way. Last Story: the BF defiantly testing the waters to see what he can get away with. Also I think this falls under financial abuse. No wonder his ex left him.
Yeah people are so immature.. Like, some people cant even tell that this is channel for telling made up stories.. Litterally this is like watching an episode of friends and you are taking the incidences in the episode serious.. Grow up..
I get the feeling that he dumped his ex once she refused to cover his spendthrift ass any more. (My ex-roommate decided I was Satan's sweetheart only after I stopped letting her borrow money or covering her share of rent&utils. and threw me out of the apartment. Aaaand she got evicted 2 months later anyway. Hee hee.)
In that last story, he believed being concerned about money was unimportant. Um, since when? Being manic about money isn't healthy, but being monetarily responsible is important. He also gave away the fact that he is a lush, expecting her to pay for their dates and that meal with his parents. She should drop him sooner than quickly.
last story: the statement "you're making money a priority" Forcing your GF to pay for things or get dumped/insulted means he is the one making it a priority.
Last story: OP, your "boyfriend" is a mooch and a leech. He's using you as an ATM, and you can bet that if YOU go through a "rough patch," you will be on your own, because he'll have no help to offer. Unless you actively WANT to spend the rest of your life as a sugar mama. dump him. Five months is not enough of an investment to make it more costly to your wallet or your self-respect than keeping him.
The booking a window and aisle seat strategy does work, me and my dad booked these for a flight because the middle was already booked. The person canceled last minute, and I guess it wasn’t a full flight because no one came to occupy it. We were able to store our extra stuff there and had more space to stretch, and this was thankfully on a flight across the Atlantic. EDIT: Thanks for the heart!
Personally, if someone like you did that to me to steal my seat, I would immediately stab both my fingers into your eye sockets and gouge out your eyeballs and proceed to stamp them into a white paste on the floor.
But here it wasn't really the case you must got lucky this time, try to do that just out of nowhere and you will see it won't work , this Karen decide to do this in this way you never know if the middle seat will be free or not.
I don't see how it can work. Most people can choose their own seat. Every time I book a flight, I choose my own seat. There's nothing stopping me from choosing a middle seat (but I would never do that unless that was the only option). For those who get a seat assigned at the gate, again, there are no restrictions on which available seats can be assigned.
this is why I hate society self-defense is your right weather its physical or verbal you have the right to protect yourself no matter what and bullies need to be put in their place by the person they are bullying because it won't stop until it happens no matter how many other people get involved thinking they can stop it.
Agreed. My brother is a teacher and he once told me about one kid sucker punching another. Naturally the kid who was attacked, defended himself. Both kids go suspended. Turned out the first kid punched the wrong kid, so some innocent bystander gets suspended for protecting himself. The unfairness of that always pissed me off. Schools have a "no tolerance" policy for fighting. No inquiry, no nuance. Completely unfair.
Bullies rely on the fact that people want to live in a civilized environment. That's why they start with mental and emotional abuse first. They keep an entourage around when things get physical and use them to establish an alibi. It's hard to prove that they did it when it's your word against 3 others.
@@chillchinna4164 the guy getting knocked out was self-defense the other hits after that was putting an end to the bullying and there for is still self-defense of future attacks
@@thomasdobson2158 That isn't self defense at that point, idiot. That leads to felonies. But you go ahead and try that shit and see how it goes (hint, not well). XD
Well when it comes to the story about the Huntington's disease, the fiance is totally wrong by not wanting to get tested. Things like this are not something you want to pop up as a surprise. Yes it's fantastic that he doesn't have it and cannot pass it on, but not getting immediately tested is foolish.
I don’t know I agree with that. I think it is foolish but they may not agree and that’s OK but they certainly should be telling their partners the risk factor and they shouldn’t be having children before the results are known.
@@58Kym well I just think it's highly stupid and irresponsible NOT to get tested in this situation. And good on op in the story for not leaving him if he had it. But not wanting to get tested because you're scared of a result is pretty stupid. I've only been with one partner in an intimate way my entire life, and my clinic I used to go to for my 3-month checkup because I'm a diabetic always offered an HIV screening. So even though I know I was only with one person and she was only with me as well I always took it cuz hell it was free. But even though I knew I didn't have the disease I was always nervous for the 15 minutes it took LOL. But then you know once it's over you know and you can get on with your life. And if you had that Huntington's disease you never know when it's actually going to hit you, so saving up money for treatments and physical care is incredibly important. So not getting tested is not only physically stupid but it's also emotionally and financially stupid. At least that's my opinion
I booked an aisle for 4 hours flight. It was a big and nice plane but mysteriously near empty (actually not really, because covid had just started so I think I was witnessing the early affect of it on airline). It was midnight flight and I saw everyone ended up using the middle and other end seat to lay down and sleep so I also did. The flight attendants weren't even bothered. Honestly the most comfortable midnight flight I ever had in economy class
Very similar from a long while ago; Returning to the UK from Cyprus, the plane we were due to fly on 'broke'. They had to fly in another far larger one to get us home. A 3-5-3 layout. Once we took off, the attendants just said, 'sit where you want' and I was stretched out across the five centre seats, like a bed. After hours of delay, it was bliss.
The last story's boyfriend probably said things about money to his ex for the same reason. I'd put money down that he was "going through a rough time" then too.
In the final story the common denominator in all his failed relationships is himself. They ended because of his behaviour. If he had asked the op to pay before inviting his parents out to dinner, it would be reasonable. But he was manipulating the op and probably told his parents, he was paying.
I feel like not knowing would hold me back even more than knowing if I will have it, its like a weight on my shoulder that is constantly making me worry if I was the op's boyfriend.
For the last story, why tf is she still with him? She's making herself a patsy, allowing him to walk all over her!! He's given her more than enough clues by telling her he's seeing how much help she has to offer. She has no need to apologize. If it were me, I'd call the parents and explain - I'm pretty sure they'd be mortified!! Then I'd leave him a message, explaining he was dumped. I'd attempt to speak to him - of course - but apparently he's only accepting apology calls and. There wouldn't be one forthcoming! Oh and, I have a hunch that he wasn't the dumper, but definitely the dumpee!!
In story 2 i thought he was the jerk. Just knocking him out was good, but continuously kicking him in the face while he is already down, and then continuing to not care made what he did wrong. But knocking him out and "daddy issues" was justified, but a bit overkill.
On my last flight, some Karen in front of me did that strategy and got immediately defensive when the person who booked the seat showed up. But it wasn’t a full flight so her, her husband, and her two kids under two, got the seat for free
Hi from Australia. 1st story I can relate to based on the fact I too was a Flight Attendant, and how she handled Karen and the kid is exactly what I would have done, and did do on many occasions. 2nd story I can also relate to, as I to am gay and have handled my life and instances as you mentioned when confronted with homophobes, exactly the same way.
The first story- I lost my Dad and 4 other family members in a little over a year ( 3 to cancer). I was very close to all of them and was present when three of them passed. 4 months later, my husband gets sick. After a week, he finally relented to let me call the dr. He was immediately sent to the hospital. The next day he told me he had cancer, and died a week later. It took me almost a year to finally figure out that he knew he had cancer, but decided to live his life fully until the end, instead of going thru chemo and radiation. I wish he had told me when he found out, but I do understand why he didn’t. So so I want to know when I will die? Nope! Live life to the fullest everyday!
i'm so sorry for ur losses. if i found out i had cancer i'd be on a world trip until i dropped. screw chemo and radiation. i probably wouldnt tell my kids. i wouldnt want to be treated like a dead person every day for the rest of my life. i have a dear friend with cancer who refuses to see or talk to me 'because he's DYING.' he's such an idiot. but then he's always been a half cup empty person and i'm a half cup full person. live life to the fullest every day even if ur healthy. u never know when ur time is coming.
The first story. Sadly it is a known travel hack to book window and aisle and pray for a light flight. And it does work, about 60% of the time. If they were in a small regional airport then OP is correct, there would not be any diversion landings, missed connections is possible though. I was flying out east and the airline had is doing a 3 hr layover. The connecting/layover airport was not a major hub, but it did get some international flights, and where I was heading serviced 2 airlines only. Due to delays at my departure point, my flight landed too late to make my connection. Had to wait another 3 hrs on standby and hope the next flight wasn’t full.
Story 3 :- I always prefer to visit the doctor if something feels off in my body. It's better to get the disease diagnosed early than late. If there is no disease or it is just some small infection or something like that than its good but if something is bigger, then you can treat it early.
As airline management, I would be inclined to full refund for the tickets issue permanent ban on this airline for the woman. Never permit her to travel with that airline as no airline needs that kind of passenger.
Last story, I would have handled the situation just as she did and I would have kept walking and not look back. This guy and his parents are leeching off of her and they probably leeched off of the ex also. I found the "not much you can do because you are here now" to be very manipulating. The fact is, I would have told him to stop comparing me to his ex, even if sounded complimentary, because that was also him trying to manipulate her, i.e. he is controlling. OP get out and keep moving.
my second husband made the mistake of comparing me to his ex... i offered to tattoo 'i'm not viola' on my forehead. end of problem. fact is when u let someone use u then u suffer from poor self esteem. been there, done that. not a doormat for anyone anymore.
You handled everything superbly with the Karen.. I find these women unbelievable. Absolutely no class whatsoever, yet think they are above everyone else. I was raised to handle situations with a stiff upper lip and good manners. It doesn't cost anything.
2nd story: i think its maybe too aggressive but in this type of cases (I lived something similar) its what its necessary cause this type of harassment every time are going to be habits.
Story 1: The flight attendants are legends, putting that Karen in her place. Also she probably played the speedo card because modern society tends to be overprotective of children, so people will sadly side with you when you give them the suspicion someone might be a speedo, even if you have zero proof. A manipulative tactic I'd expect from a Karen. Story 2: He did not go too far. Some bullies need to experience pain because they will never know boundaries and act like decent human beings otherwise. Story 3: This was also adressed in House M.D. and yes, you should absolutely get tested if there's a suspicion for financial and emotional reasons. Looking the other way is a coward's way out. Story 4: This Ricky is a hypocritical piece of shit. Playing the victim, trying to make sure his current relationship is perfect compared to his ex, and making OP pay for everything. Man up, you wimp. I'm surprised OP put up with his toxic crap for so long.
Maybe Karen was already escorted from a plane before that day so she waited on the terminal for the next flight. But she didn't want to say that so she started lying about the delay. But probobly she wasn't. She would throw much worst fit if she was when she was being sent of the flight. Even they said she will be upgrated
Story 3: As someone who's in remission, the idea of the love of my life leaving me because there's a chance I could go into relapse is the main reason I'm scared of starting relationships, even platonic ones. I'm glad she made the choice to stay, as when I lost my biggest friend group due to my medical history, the pain was unbearable. I couldn't imagine the love of my life leaving because of the uncertainty.
They were very clear that they wouldn't leave if he got sick, they mentioned that several times and even the guy reading the stories said that people are ignoring that part for some reason. They were upset that they had the rare opportunity to PREDICT if would get sick and plan accordingly (unforeseen health issues is one of the top causes for financial ruin and divorce) and he didn't want to do it. That was the issue. Not him getting sick, but that he didn't want to plan for it. If you have the gene for it, you WILL get sick. It's not just an increased risk or possibility, it's a certainty (if you live long enough.) While I understand where he's coming from, I also don't understand allowing your partner to go through the uncertainty when you have the ability to remove it.
Well, I usually book and aisle, and a friend I travel with books a window. Those are the seats we prefer. I'm under no grand illusion that the center seat will be unoccupied...but we've gotten lucky a couple of times. But if the seat would have been taken, that would've been fine, too.
My husband and I always book an aisle and a window seat when we go on vacation. If somebody comes to sit in the middle I switch with them and take the middle seat. If not we get an extra seat between us which is great.
You're probably right, you probably did hear this story before. It is probably a made-up story, just for clicks, and has probably been 'stolen' from some other video post.
How I deal with it is to no longer fly unless there is no other choice. I haven't flown in 25 years (I'm 65 today). Used to fly a fair amount. I've often driven more than 1,000 miles rather than fly. It's just so much more relaxing and fun for me. I also haven't gone to a movie theatre in 20 years for the same reason, plus all those exciting plots I loved in my 20's got to be predictable in my 30's and boring in my 40's. Just not worth the hassle. Eating out...nope. Maybe this is just part of getting old. Young people love to make fun of us but on this end it just seems logical. When you have the time there are many things that make less sense. The main reason people fly is to get someplace quicker. That goes away when you have time to enjoy other options.
Story 1: I’ve never been on a plane before but my mom travels every once In a while and has been giving me advice on what to do and not do on a plane. Definitely won’t be one of those Karens
The seat thing can work, but to be fair the only time I got the row to myself was when I sat at the back on a Flight seat 2020 (inter-lockdown), I had two whole rows to myself, lovely flight.
The booking of the aisle and the window used to work much better years ago when there were way more flights. Enter low cost carriers, de-regulation and higher fuel costs. Now you have the airlines running much leaner operations. I started working in the airlines in 1989 up until 2019, and things have definitely changed. You can try doing the aisle/widow thing and ask the person in the middle (if someone takes it) to switch. Nobody wants a middle seat, so that won't be an issue. All I'm saying is the chances of that middle seat staying open have gone WAY down. If you really want to try it then book seats in the back of plane. That will give you a better shot as most people want to be near the front so they don't have to wait to get off the plane... especially when they are connecting.
The last OP should run. The boyfriend is manipulative and sounds like a massive ass. It's just a test to see how much abuse he can get away with before the OP says stop. Don't let there be a second time, this is not something done by accident or miscommunication, but malicious. If someone does something by accident, by all means give them a second chance and discuss the behaviour with them (very important, a person can't change if they don't know). If it's done malicious, don't let it happen again, especially not when they don't apologize for that behaviour.
It makes no sense to reward negative behaviors. Great stewardess for nipping it in the bud! Adults, it seems, have adopted more negative behaviors than their kids. That is really a sad reflection of American’s in a public space being disrespectful to all around her. Sad…
Second story, wayyy too far. That kid just needed some guidance, his life at home was fucked up. No need to ruin the remainder of it, talk with the principal, the coach, anyone who's close to him. Get him some therapy, you kicked him repeatedly while he was down, that's no longer fighting that's attempted murder
There is a viral video of a morbidly obese couple that tried that tactic. A woman bought the seat in between them and had both spilling into her seat from either side. The woman was unforgivably rude to them. But I would have been ticked off too. The couple clearly didn’t want to purchase an extra seat, even though they should have been required to for their sizes. So they pulled that stunt, screwing over another paying passenger in the process. Not ok.
Me at the start: oh i hope this one isn't on the plane that they had to deal with the other Karen to get on... (THIS SENTENCE MAKES NO SENCE) Edit: why is this so effing triggering
Once a husband and wife booked the window and aisle. I didn't know they even knew each other as they didnt speak to each other the whole flight. It was very uncomfortable as they both used both armrests and oozed i to my personal space the whole flight I didn't say anything until After we landed she tried to cut into that non existing space between the aisle and middle seat. You know to get off the plane one person sooner Im like excuse me, there is no place for me to go and if you need to be next to your husband, you should have sat there Dirty looks and side eyes dont bother me one bit, but i would have liked to have told that old lady off, but my mother would have been mortified
My wife and I do that aisle and window booking all the time. If someone books the middle, I just offer them the window, and they're usually happy to make the switch, but about half the time nobody books the middle.
Story 1: I'm not about people being assholes on Flights because I've been seeing some videos and reports about it on the News. One thing I can tell you is that I haven't dealt with a Karen on an Airplane because IRL, I've never been on a plane (so far in live) My friends, family members and I were planning on traveling to Seattle in March 2023 by flight but 2 of them blew their budget for the bachelorette party in my hometown, so right now we're having a conversation of where we can go for a cheaper price
@@Pestbot Thank you for the comment but unfortunately that's a little further way and probably more expensive on flight since I'm all the way in Alberta (Canada) So right now we have Banff and Edmonton as our ideas for a cheaper trip (by driving) we're still having a conversation if we're going with 1 or both locations and if we're adding more or not
@@trollo_ed8869 could try ottowa, i hear thats nice in the winter, or even the falls, that whole city is beautiful you dont even need to go to the falls
The window and aisle seat "trick" does work, if the flight is not full. I've done it a few times. Twice it worked once it didn't. When the middle seat persons showed up we just smiled at each other shrugged our shoulders as the person sat down. We knew it was a gamble and this time we lost.
The first story is true I book a flight and nobody sat in the middle sit for the whole flight it was only me by the window and a pro female hockey player on the other side I forgot the hockey players name😢
i personally havent had any promblems when boarding an aircraft when i did go on a flight smewhere and back the middle seat was always empty and i had the same flight attendant both trips
There was a guy in middle school that would scream lessbiiiannn at me in the hallways.. years later he turned out to be a flamer. I’m married to a man ..
I recall flying late on New Years Day & arrived to check in to find my seat gone in Business Class. I was given a full refund & 3 seats in economy which suited me fine as I just wanted to sleep. I get up from a sleep to use the restroom & return to find a brat jump on my seat & suit coat. I see a woman coming towards me with bags as I tell the brat to get off my suit coat now & come out. A large Karen comes towards me screaming I threatened her baby. A flight attendant saw the whole thing & ordered them back to their seats. Seems brat boy wanted a window seat as mum sat in the middle seat but was too late to access a window seat for the brat. As I disembark I am met by police who question her - I just wanted to get to my hotel.
I would have kept on being with him despite not knowing, if you truly loved him. You never know what the future holds. If you were a planner and didn't like not knowing, you could still plan for it happening and then be happy that it didn't eventuate. My husband has a philosophy. Expect the worst and hope for the best. It covers all bases. I would have totally done what she did and walked out the door without paying. I would have contacted the parents afterwards and told them that her (ex I hope) boyfriend volunteered her to pay without your permission. If they were lovely as she said, they would have taken her side I'm sure. You don't need a gold digger as your boyfriend.
I had flight and tried seat swap to be nice. She too did not have center. The woman went nuts crazy is as crazy does. I got BLASTED with the N word and how I am one. If I was more white you would not see me in interior lighting. She said it again. Shame on her. Lead Stew heard it all. "Call the cockpit crew. She needs to leave right now." (Here's my ID) BYE CRAZY KAREN!
story 1: yes. the trick to get the middle seat works most of the time. there's an advanced, but a bit more expensive, version. you book all three seats and cancel the one in the middle at last minute. you won't get a full refund (probably) but it's unlikely that somebody manages to buy that ticket so late. I hope the mini karen learned the lesson (the adult karen is beyond help I fear) story 2: kudos to you for showing that guy what shame is. the "do you wanna try?" tactic is a classic that works 100% of the time. I don't think there was any need to kick him in the face. that can be considered bullying too. just let him attack you (but not hit you. there's a difference) until he calms or decides to leave. in your case you could also taunt him, when he tires, with "are you sure you don't want to try? it feels great and I'm sure one of your 'friends' won't mind to help you" story 3: there's no need to know to plan things. I'm epileptic. I don't know, I can't know, when will I get the next seizure. it may be tomorrow, it may be in twenty years. so, I'm always as prepared as I can be. I don't care if I will, or will not, have another seizure. I can have one, so I planned in case I have one. I have a couple extra possible health issues since I had a few family members with cancer (all dead) and my mother, and two other close family members, have Crohn's disease (it's hereditary). I don't know if I will develop either of them. only way to know is if I do get Crohn's disease and/or cancer. so, I just planned what to do for any combination. I got a cousin with Down syndrome and there was a high chance that I would get it too. my mother even refused to be tested. she didn't need to know. she was going to have her baby and didn't care if I had or not Down syndrome. she just planned for it. just in case. note: sincerely, if you had asked me a year ago if I wanted to know the date of my death, I would say no. I don't need to know. since last year, I do want to know. why? because I'm curious if I will be able to endure, and recover, before I commit suicide. technically, I don't need the date of my death. only to know if I will, or not, suicide. story 4: dump him. he's playing victim to milk you.
I had a kid kicking my seat once and when I looked behind me the kid’s mother was calmly ignoring the situation, looking rather comfortable and pleased with herself. I attempted to get her attention, but she ignored me, so I raised my voice and told her very firmly to control the child and make him stop kicking. With a sigh of annoyance she actually did what I told her do (mind you I made it very clear that I was not asking a question). About ten minutes later the kid was at again and I turned around and this time the was on it very quickly. Moral of the story: do not engage the child, ever. Hold the obnoxious parent accountable.
or just hit the airline attendant button so u dont get thrown off the plane too.
@@rosemaryus-ct6151I don’t know if they had the airline button since ecomany is reaky bad quality
@@Piggymightflyeven if its economy it should have a service button
I don’t know any airlines that don’t have service buttons for economy
I'm Gen X. To this day, I still feel like Charlie finding the golden ticket every time I get on a plane. "Oh my god -- I'm about to FLY" pretty much. 54 years old, I still grin like a 12 year old kid when the plane takes off. Then if you behave, they bring you soda and snacks. And now you can watch a FREAKING MOVIE on a lot of flights. Of your choice.
I wish I could enjoy flying like you but I always end up getting sick on those thing, wouldn’t matter if it was first class or Air Force One I would still be sick.
Unless you book really early, you should be able to tell if the middle seat thing is likely to work. You can see how many seats have already been reserved and how full the flight is. What's stupid here is she wouldn't be able to keep her crap on the seat during take off, anyway. It's also dependent on things like flight time, whether the route is more commonly used for business or personal, etc.
yeah i was thinking they wouldnt let her keep the stuff there either but i think her whole point was just to discourage someone else from sitting there.
Last story: If the OP's boyfriend can't afford to eat out then he shouldn't go, period. Plus it's super disrespectful to volunteer someone for something without their prior knowledge or consent. That along with all his manipulation and comparing her to his ex's should be more than enough reason for the OP to dump him.
It's 100% manipulation. He probably gaslights her all the time as well.
Well said.
Indeed, he should’ve at least asked instead of surprising her like that.
Last story: That was a valuable lesson. Money is the #1 cause of couple fights - and too many people who aren't good with money will happily make their problem someone else's problem if given an opportunity.
Sounds like her boyfriend felt entitled to her money. Not even asking if she will pay for the dinner, and then trying to bully her into it?! What a jerk! Here's a thought....since she like his parents, she can have them over for dinner and not invite their son...her (hopefully) EX!
Second story: That's really the story of almost all bullies. My own bully stopped when I finally beat him up and I was half his size. Wouldn't let him out of an arm lock my cousin taught me until he agreed to leave me the hell alone. He backed off, and he never messed with me again. I was also left alone at the playground after that, too.
Violence is only a virtue to the vicious, and the only answer they will take when peace was never on the table to begin with.
""Violence is only a virtue to the vicious", very well said.
i never blame someone for defending themselves. my dad said, if u can walk away from a fight, u walk away. if u cant, take them out with the first shot then walk away. then he showed us all how to NOT punch 'like a girl.' i never had to hit anyone more than once; they immediately found something else to do. bullies are just cowards with big mouths.
I believe the lady was stuck at the airport all night. Because she probably pulled the same crap the day before and got booted off the flight only to rebook on OP's flight. Now she needs to rebook for an even later flight to most likely pull the same crap again.
People are always trying to take someone else's set on a plane, as well as trying to get a free upgrade. My husband and I always book seat together, so when we got on the plane and I found there was an old lady sitting next to me, I was surprised. She was quite relaxed and happy, and I thought my husband must be in the open seat behind me. But someone else took THAT seat. My husband had called a flight attendant to sort the issue, as his boarding pass put him in the seat beside me. The FA asked to see the old lady's boarding pass, and told her she was in the wrong seat. She was all smiling and saying, "Oh, I don't mind swapping seats. I'm already here, and I'm disabled, so..." The thing is, I AM disabled and really need my husband near me, I need the leg room and proximity to the bathroom available only in first class, and swapping seat with the old girl would have put him in the very back of the plane. The old lady clearly did not want to move, and was playing the old lady game to the hilt in the effort to get the seat for herself. The FA finally ordered her out of the seat and told her to go back to her assigned seat. The old lady huffed and almost worked up tears, and pretended to limp all the way down the aisle to her seat. She demanded a wheelchair when we landed, but we were at the luggage claim when she showed up with a skycap pushing her chair. He left her on her own, and she hopped out of the wheelchair and grabbed her luggage like a champ. She staked her bags on a luggage cart she appropriated, and off she went on her own, schlepping her own luggage. All of which only proves that you can't trust anybody's story when they're trying to scam a better seat on a plane.
disabled my ass; if she can get on the plane she can freeking move. i dont need a reason; my seat is my seat.
The boyfriend taking advantage of her $$$ is the JERK
I had a problem with a kid kicking the back of my seat and not stopping so I turned around and told the parent I am legally disabled with six spine fusions and if they did not stop I would file suit and charges. It made the parent make them stop. I have no idea if I could but it worked.
WAY TO GO!!! I LOVE IT!! I also am physically disabled with spinal issues. I can’t even tolerate sitting on a bleacher seat at grandchildren’s ballgames with someone kicking them and making them vibrate. I will stand if necessary because it is more comfortable. I ALWAYS ALWAYS made my children stop doing things like that. I also make my husband not tap his hand on them. 😂😂 Yep child come in all shapes, sizes and ages. 🤣🤣
Being a "larger" man (6'1" 400#) those 18" coach seats were a pinch. When flying I get to the ticketing counter early, the agent assigns me a seat and then asks me to wait. They fill in the seats around me, typically leaving an empty 3-seat row or someone of smaller stature (child) in one of the other seats.
yeah now they make u pay for two adjoinging seats; also some airlines try to charge u more if ur over a certain weight. once a man complained that 'he didnt want to use my hip for an armrest.' ok i'm a girl, no shame in crying. flight attendent put me in first class then came back and told me she carved him a new one. neither one knew i was on my way to pull the plug on my dying mother. awful trip, that one.
I used to be a frequent flyer and have flown next to people like that. Once I just sat on their crap and said whoops sorry. Another time they tried to put all their crap under the seat in front of me and I made sure anything in it was crushed. One time this happened and when she went to the bathroom I opened her carryon under my feet and dumped a drink in it.
the drink... HAHAHA
Ive heard that advice but they also said that if it doesnt work, you can ask the middle person if they want the aisle or window seat, which they probably will be happy to do
2020 karens:haha im queen you must do everything i say
1950 karens: *no im not gonan let that happen*
That gay guy really gave him a fisting 😭😭😭💀💀🤣
some girls know how to throw a punch too. he's not any less of a man and girls are not any less of a woman for it. what's wrong with u?
Story One:
The way you screamed stranger killed me
Every Karen daily routine: wake up take a sip of some coffee
Karen : ya now it’s a beautiful day to cause some trouble
I need to see this guy do his Karen voice cause it’s hilarious
I've seen people book all three seats with refundable tickets then cancel two at the last minute hoping not to get a standby.
This sent Karen into Wales
Me: wait like the country that I am inside of right now
The revenge on the M guy was great
2:58 yeah your meant to *hope*
Only on ryanair
i think the middle seat thing only works on underbooked flights. Nobody books a middleseat if there are other options. however at the point, were the plane gets full, every single seat will be booked. However as i nice person, you could still ask to swap seats.
You are not the jerk!
Story 3 blows my mind don’t bring a kids dead father into a fight I do know you were still a kid but I do think it was a bad deal
OMG a gay guy protect this person at all costs dont lett him het bullied! 😢
Saeetie, you do you. Forever and always..good luck. ❤
From my experience flying the book the aisle and window seat thing is bull don't bank on a 1% chance the flight isn't going to be full
This is especially true today. They'd rather cancel a flight than not have it be close to full or full. For the past 20 years, they've been doing everything to squeeze every dime out out of every seat.
From what I have heard, what you are supposed to do if the flight if is full is use the fact that you have both the aisle and window seat as bargaining chips so that your party stays together with then idea being, if the flight is not full you get an extra seat, if it is full then one person in your party will be in the middle but the other gets their pick of window or aisle. I think most people forget about the second half of the plan and just see "free seat" and don't look any further
HA! So like any school system to put the blame on the victim.
I was bullied in school (I was that lanky guy) by some trash, what he didn't know is that I was practicing pro wrestling at the time (while being a show, the difference between a head lock hurting or not is how much pressure you use), so he threw a water bottle at my friends and as we played some card game during recess, being a breaking point, I got up to his face in the hall and shouted to stop messing with us, he answered by shoving me, and very awkwardly head locking me (WWE was really popular back then), so I just lifted my arm and shifted my weight to head lock him instead, actually held it right and made him moan in pain, some of the kids said a teacher was coming so I released him, she passed by and I told him that he better wise up or get a couple more sessions of pain, he never looked my way again.
Bullies are usually weak and over confident, find your confidence and perhaps train yourself a bit, and stand up to them, the high and mighty may say violence is wrong but it's not your responsibility to be the educator of the ignorant - it's the failure of their parents.
A lot of schools don't want to both with actually figuring out what happened so they have a "no tolerance" policy for any fighting. Everyone gets suspended no matter who started it or why. While I was never a very good fighter, I'm glad I grew up long before that.
I remember in 7th grade, I was bullied nearly every day. I was in the deans office at least 3 times a week. Second to last day of school I got fed up and I pushed him back. The dead told me had it not been so close to the end of the year I would have been suspended but they will let it slide since school ended the next day. I was upset and my mom was furious asking why nothing ever happened to the bully and the dead said how they had no reports on file about him bullying me. The following year I moved halfway through the year to another state but ended up moving back for high school. We ran into my old dead as she apparently lived around the corner from us. She stopped me on day and asked how things were since moving away from the bullying. She had literally acknowledged that I had been bullied even though less then 2 years prior she said there had been no cases. This is how you know schools care more about reputation then their students.
I got nearly suspended in middle school 'cause the usual clown tribe of my class was harassing me for my katana moves with a 1 meter ruler. I touch-hitted (it was nothing) one of them and made the "show pain to gain" move (evident soccer player). We ended both with being scolded and a call to our parents from our teacher.
@@fidelianerina they tried to expel me after 7 kids tried to jump me on the bus. The reason they hated me was that I was the schools star at that time (I was upstaged before the year was done). I was the top player on my football team, had straight A’s and just won a science fair competition. I loved the attention and I will admit that I may have been obnoxious about it. These kids start teasing me and bullying my. On the bus ride home they jumped me and I defended myself. The bus driver ended up calling the police and I ended up shoving one kid so hard he cracked his head on the glass. Another kid I ended up breaking his nose. Quite a few people on the bus had to go to the hospital. All of the kids on the bus said that I didn’t start the fight and that I even tried to leave from my seat to the front of the bus. There ended up with half the bus fighting or trying to stop the fighting. The school district sought to expel me and only suspend my attackers for 2 weeks. My mother went to the school board and pitched a fit. When they said that I had hospitalized 2 kids (which was true one I punched in the throat and didn’t know how dangerous that was at the time.) and that they had to take action for other parents to feel safe about sending their kids to school my mother decided she would destroy the schools. She got a lawyer and the local news. The moment it hit the news the school board resented my suspension but my mother wasn’t satisfied. By the end of the investigation launched by the police the school was forced to pay my medical bills and forced to make a formal apology. The 2 kids that started the whole thing were suspended and the teacher that knew this was going on was given a formal warning and was retrained on how to deal with bullies. The 5 other kids were forced to write formal apologies to me and I heard 3 of them got severely punished at home. The school district was dragged through the mud for the remainder of the year. All of this kept me out of school for a month and my grades suffered for it. This was a long time ago and I am now a grown adult and praying the schools do a better job at protecting kids as my daughter starts pre-k next year. That incident will live with me for the rest of my life and it took therapy for me to get over it. I didn’t develop trust issues I just won’t be stuck in a corner and I don’t do crowds now. I also have issues when people get loud with me. My Ex was actually very helpful in helping me to curb my anxiety and that allowed me to be more open with the woman I would eventually marry. My ex may have been crazy but she was crucial in helping me get over the bullies I dealt with when I was younger. And yea my ex is a crazy bag of cats unto itself.
My sister had a problem with a bully in school so she punched her in the face. The other girl was a known trouble maker but the teachers wouldn't do anything about her. My sister was sent to the principal's office.
The principle said she would have to be punished. My sister leaned forward toward the principal and said in a menacing tone, "If you punish me for defending myself from a known bully, next time I'll make it worth my while."
She said the principal went white and sent her back to class.
First story: It's amazing how immature some adults will get to just get their way.
Last Story: the BF defiantly testing the waters to see what he can get away with. Also I think this falls under financial abuse. No wonder his ex left him.
Yeah people are so immature.. Like, some people cant even tell that this is channel for telling made up stories.. Litterally this is like watching an episode of friends and you are taking the incidences in the episode serious.. Grow up..
I get the feeling that he dumped his ex once she refused to cover his spendthrift ass any more. (My ex-roommate decided I was Satan's sweetheart only after I stopped letting her borrow money or covering her share of rent&utils. and threw me out of the apartment. Aaaand she got evicted 2 months later anyway. Hee hee.)
In that last story, he believed being concerned about money was unimportant. Um, since when? Being manic about money isn't healthy, but being monetarily responsible is important. He also gave away the fact that he is a lush, expecting her to pay for their dates and that meal with his parents. She should drop him sooner than quickly.
well if the boyfriend said that she is just like his ex, why doesnt he just go back to his ex
Because his ex's dumped him. Just like this gal should do.
good point lol
last story: the statement "you're making money a priority"
Forcing your GF to pay for things or get dumped/insulted means he is the one making it a priority.
Last story: OP, your "boyfriend" is a mooch and a leech. He's using you as an ATM, and you can bet that if YOU go through a "rough patch," you will be on your own, because he'll have no help to offer. Unless you actively WANT to spend the rest of your life as a sugar mama. dump him. Five months is not enough of an investment to make it more costly to your wallet or your self-respect than keeping him.
This guy has def been wondering in the red pill community.
YES
The booking a window and aisle seat strategy does work, me and my dad booked these for a flight because the middle was already booked. The person canceled last minute, and I guess it wasn’t a full flight because no one came to occupy it. We were able to store our extra stuff there and had more space to stretch, and this was thankfully on a flight across the Atlantic.
EDIT: Thanks for the heart!
Just lucky, eh?
Personally, if someone like you did that to me to steal my seat, I would immediately stab both my fingers into your eye sockets and gouge out your eyeballs and proceed to stamp them into a white paste on the floor.
@@snidecommenter7117 precisely
But here it wasn't really the case you must got lucky this time, try to do that just out of nowhere and you will see it won't work , this Karen decide to do this in this way you never know if the middle seat will be free or not.
I don't see how it can work. Most people can choose their own seat. Every time I book a flight, I choose my own seat. There's nothing stopping me from choosing a middle seat (but I would never do that unless that was the only option). For those who get a seat assigned at the gate, again, there are no restrictions on which available seats can be assigned.
this is why I hate society self-defense is your right weather its physical or verbal you have the right to protect yourself no matter what and bullies need to be put in their place by the person they are bullying because it won't stop until it happens no matter how many other people get involved thinking they can stop it.
Agreed. My brother is a teacher and he once told me about one kid sucker punching another. Naturally the kid who was attacked, defended himself. Both kids go suspended. Turned out the first kid punched the wrong kid, so some innocent bystander gets suspended for protecting himself. The unfairness of that always pissed me off. Schools have a "no tolerance" policy for fighting. No inquiry, no nuance. Completely unfair.
Bullies rely on the fact that people want to live in a civilized environment. That's why they start with mental and emotional abuse first. They keep an entourage around when things get physical and use them to establish an alibi. It's hard to prove that they did it when it's your word against 3 others.
Beating a man who is no longer conscious isn’t self defense though.
@@chillchinna4164 the guy getting knocked out was self-defense the other hits after that was putting an end to the bullying and there for is still self-defense of future attacks
@@thomasdobson2158 That isn't self defense at that point, idiot. That leads to felonies. But you go ahead and try that shit and see how it goes (hint, not well). XD
The third story, that woman is an idiot, for letting him “make” her pay every time they go out. How long did she put up with his disrespect?
Second story: he had to do what he had to do but he took it a little too far kicking him in the face
Anyone provoking an unwanted fight with another shouldn’t be surprised if the unwilling participant goes further than expected.
From the beatings I've heard gay people have been put throughI say no this bully got everything he had coming to him
With bullies like that, you can't just win that fight, you have to convince them, and all of their bully buddies, not to ever try again
There is a chance the bullies have done this to kids smaller than them with much worse beatings
@@cathybaldry7822 Ok Jussie
Well when it comes to the story about the Huntington's disease, the fiance is totally wrong by not wanting to get tested. Things like this are not something you want to pop up as a surprise. Yes it's fantastic that he doesn't have it and cannot pass it on, but not getting immediately tested is foolish.
I don’t know I agree with that. I think it is foolish but they may not agree and that’s OK but they certainly should be telling their partners the risk factor and they shouldn’t be having children before the results are known.
@@58Kym well I just think it's highly stupid and irresponsible NOT to get tested in this situation. And good on op in the story for not leaving him if he had it. But not wanting to get tested because you're scared of a result is pretty stupid. I've only been with one partner in an intimate way my entire life, and my clinic I used to go to for my 3-month checkup because I'm a diabetic always offered an HIV screening. So even though I know I was only with one person and she was only with me as well I always took it cuz hell it was free. But even though I knew I didn't have the disease I was always nervous for the 15 minutes it took LOL. But then you know once it's over you know and you can get on with your life. And if you had that Huntington's disease you never know when it's actually going to hit you, so saving up money for treatments and physical care is incredibly important. So not getting tested is not only physically stupid but it's also emotionally and financially stupid. At least that's my opinion
One of my daughters husband got tested for a cancer gene that his mother has before trying for a child. He was clear
As if being on a plane wasn’t stressful enough, you then have an entitled Karen demanding first class?!?
I booked an aisle for 4 hours flight. It was a big and nice plane but mysteriously near empty (actually not really, because covid had just started so I think I was witnessing the early affect of it on airline). It was midnight flight and I saw everyone ended up using the middle and other end seat to lay down and sleep so I also did. The flight attendants weren't even bothered. Honestly the most comfortable midnight flight I ever had in economy class
Very similar from a long while ago; Returning to the UK from Cyprus, the plane we were due to fly on 'broke'. They had to fly in another far larger one to get us home. A 3-5-3 layout. Once we took off, the attendants just said, 'sit where you want' and I was stretched out across the five centre seats, like a bed. After hours of delay, it was bliss.
i've happily taken a nap on a near empty flight too. red eye flights have some advantages.
The last story's boyfriend probably said things about money to his ex for the same reason. I'd put money down that he was "going through a rough time" then too.
I think the man in the second story went a little too far in face kicking the guy 4 times. That being said I don't blame him for fighting a bully.
i say one kick is enough
I agree.
No I think it was all warranted
Illegal but the law is just a technicality. I rate it as morally justifiable though morals ARE subjective.
Four to the head, four to the crotch. That would have been much better.
Well played, flight attendant, well played!!
Heh.. “spedo”! (Nuff said) 😂
In the final story the common denominator in all his failed relationships is himself. They ended because of his behaviour.
If he had asked the op to pay before inviting his parents out to dinner, it would be reasonable. But he was manipulating the op and probably told his parents, he was paying.
I feel like not knowing would hold me back even more than knowing if I will have it, its like a weight on my shoulder that is constantly making me worry if I was the op's boyfriend.
For the last story, why tf is she still with him? She's making herself a patsy, allowing him to walk all over her!! He's given her more than enough clues by telling her he's seeing how much help she has to offer. She has no need to apologize. If it were me, I'd call the parents and explain - I'm pretty sure they'd be mortified!! Then I'd leave him a message, explaining he was dumped. I'd attempt to speak to him - of course - but apparently he's only accepting apology calls and. There wouldn't be one forthcoming!
Oh and, I have a hunch that he wasn't the dumper, but definitely the dumpee!!
In story 2 i thought he was the jerk. Just knocking him out was good, but continuously kicking him in the face while he is already down, and then continuing to not care made what he did wrong. But knocking him out and "daddy issues" was justified, but a bit overkill.
Last story----dump that guy, and his family. You're better off single. Trust me. Tina, Al's wife
On my last flight, some Karen in front of me did that strategy and got immediately defensive when the person who booked the seat showed up. But it wasn’t a full flight so her, her husband, and her two kids under two, got the seat for free
Story1: I only think that happens when its not a full flight , like a half a flight
She might have been lying about missing her flight, but she WAS awfully prophetic!
Hi from Australia.
1st story I can relate to based on the fact I too was a Flight Attendant, and how she handled Karen and the kid is exactly what I would have done, and did do on many occasions.
2nd story I can also relate to, as I to am gay and have handled my life and instances as you mentioned when confronted with homophobes, exactly the same way.
That is actually a great way to calm a Karen or. kevin and they think that they are getting upgraded
Hahaha 😂
upgraded to the ticket desk right? lol
Genius flight attendant to make that Karen think she was getting an upgrade.
The first story- I lost my Dad and 4 other family members in a little over a year ( 3 to cancer). I was very close to all of them and was present when three of them passed. 4 months later, my husband gets sick. After a week, he finally relented to let me call the dr. He was immediately sent to the hospital. The next day he told me he had cancer, and died a week later. It took me almost a year to finally figure out that he knew he had cancer, but decided to live his life fully until the end, instead of going thru chemo and radiation. I wish he had told me when he found out, but I do understand why he didn’t. So so I want to know when I will die? Nope! Live life to the fullest everyday!
i'm so sorry for ur losses. if i found out i had cancer i'd be on a world trip until i dropped. screw chemo and radiation. i probably wouldnt tell my kids. i wouldnt want to be treated like a dead person every day for the rest of my life. i have a dear friend with cancer who refuses to see or talk to me 'because he's DYING.' he's such an idiot. but then he's always been a half cup empty person and i'm a half cup full person. live life to the fullest every day even if ur healthy. u never know when ur time is coming.
The first story. Sadly it is a known travel hack to book window and aisle and pray for a light flight. And it does work, about 60% of the time. If they were in a small regional airport then OP is correct, there would not be any diversion landings, missed connections is possible though. I was flying out east and the airline had is doing a 3 hr layover. The connecting/layover airport was not a major hub, but it did get some international flights, and where I was heading serviced 2 airlines only. Due to delays at my departure point, my flight landed too late to make my connection. Had to wait another 3 hrs on standby and hope the next flight wasn’t full.
Story 3 :- I always prefer to visit the doctor if something feels off in my body. It's better to get the disease diagnosed early than late. If there is no disease or it is just some small infection or something like that than its good but if something is bigger, then you can treat it early.
Story 1: What makes *"karen"* think she's *"entitled"* to free 1st class seating?
As airline management, I would be inclined to full refund for the tickets issue permanent ban on this airline for the woman. Never permit her to travel with that airline as no airline needs that kind of passenger.
Last story: life is short, why would you ever be with someone like that. Being alone is better option.
Last story, I would have handled the situation just as she did and I would have kept walking and not look back. This guy and his parents are leeching off of her and they probably leeched off of the ex also. I found the "not much you can do because you are here now" to be very manipulating. The fact is, I would have told him to stop comparing me to his ex, even if sounded complimentary, because that was also him trying to manipulate her, i.e. he is controlling. OP get out and keep moving.
my second husband made the mistake of comparing me to his ex... i offered to tattoo 'i'm not viola' on my forehead. end of problem. fact is when u let someone use u then u suffer from poor self esteem. been there, done that. not a doormat for anyone anymore.
You handled everything superbly with the Karen.. I find these women unbelievable. Absolutely no class whatsoever, yet think they are above everyone else. I was raised to handle situations with a stiff upper lip and good manners. It doesn't cost anything.
2nd story: i think its maybe too aggressive but in this type of cases (I lived something similar) its what its necessary cause this type of harassment every time are going to be habits.
Story 1: The flight attendants are legends, putting that Karen in her place. Also she probably played the speedo card because modern society tends to be overprotective of children, so people will sadly side with you when you give them the suspicion someone might be a speedo, even if you have zero proof. A manipulative tactic I'd expect from a Karen.
Story 2: He did not go too far. Some bullies need to experience pain because they will never know boundaries and act like decent human beings otherwise.
Story 3: This was also adressed in House M.D. and yes, you should absolutely get tested if there's a suspicion for financial and emotional reasons. Looking the other way is a coward's way out.
Story 4: This Ricky is a hypocritical piece of shit. Playing the victim, trying to make sure his current relationship is perfect compared to his ex, and making OP pay for everything. Man up, you wimp. I'm surprised OP put up with his toxic crap for so long.
Maybe Karen was already escorted from a plane before that day so she waited on the terminal for the next flight. But she didn't want to say that so she started lying about the delay. But probobly she wasn't. She would throw much worst fit if she was when she was being sent of the flight. Even they said she will be upgrated
I bet she did and she probably had to use a different airline too
Story 3:
As someone who's in remission, the idea of the love of my life leaving me because there's a chance I could go into relapse is the main reason I'm scared of starting relationships, even platonic ones. I'm glad she made the choice to stay, as when I lost my biggest friend group due to my medical history, the pain was unbearable. I couldn't imagine the love of my life leaving because of the uncertainty.
They were very clear that they wouldn't leave if he got sick, they mentioned that several times and even the guy reading the stories said that people are ignoring that part for some reason. They were upset that they had the rare opportunity to PREDICT if would get sick and plan accordingly (unforeseen health issues is one of the top causes for financial ruin and divorce) and he didn't want to do it. That was the issue. Not him getting sick, but that he didn't want to plan for it. If you have the gene for it, you WILL get sick. It's not just an increased risk or possibility, it's a certainty (if you live long enough.) While I understand where he's coming from, I also don't understand allowing your partner to go through the uncertainty when you have the ability to remove it.
if the love of ur life did that they didnt deserve ur love, right?
Well, I usually book and aisle, and a friend I travel with books a window. Those are the seats we prefer. I'm under no grand illusion that the center seat will be unoccupied...but we've gotten lucky a couple of times. But if the seat would have been taken, that would've been fine, too.
My husband and I always book an aisle and a window seat when we go on vacation. If somebody comes to sit in the middle I switch with them and take the middle seat. If not we get an extra seat between us which is great.
I could’ve sworn I’ve heard this story before. Oh well, Karen gets what she deserves!
You're probably right, you probably did hear this story before. It is probably a made-up story, just for clicks, and has probably been 'stolen' from some other video post.
That flight attendant was genius…
How I deal with it is to no longer fly unless there is no other choice. I haven't flown in 25 years (I'm 65 today). Used to fly a fair amount. I've often driven more than 1,000 miles rather than fly. It's just so much more relaxing and fun for me.
I also haven't gone to a movie theatre in 20 years for the same reason, plus all those exciting plots I loved in my 20's got to be predictable in my 30's and boring in my 40's. Just not worth the hassle.
Eating out...nope.
Maybe this is just part of getting old. Young people love to make fun of us but on this end it just seems logical. When you have the time there are many things that make less sense. The main reason people fly is to get someplace quicker. That goes away when you have time to enjoy other options.
i'd rather drive too.
For the last story: The girl did everything *perfectly*
I'm a teacher. I'm so sorry that you were bullied by the teachers. 😢
Story 1: I’ve never been on a plane before but my mom travels every once In a while and has been giving me advice on what to do and not do on a plane. Definitely won’t be one of those Karens
The seat thing can work, but to be fair the only time I got the row to myself was when I sat at the back on a Flight seat 2020 (inter-lockdown), I had two whole rows to myself, lovely flight.
BRAVO flight attendant! The Karen Calling another person a derogatory name, is abuse. She got hers. Enjoy waiting…….lol…….
The booking of the aisle and the window used to work much better years ago when there were way more flights. Enter low cost carriers, de-regulation and higher fuel costs. Now you have the airlines running much leaner operations. I started working in the airlines in 1989 up until 2019, and things have definitely changed. You can try doing the aisle/widow thing and ask the person in the middle (if someone takes it) to switch. Nobody wants a middle seat, so that won't be an issue. All I'm saying is the chances of that middle seat staying open have gone WAY down. If you really want to try it then book seats in the back of plane. That will give you a better shot as most people want to be near the front so they don't have to wait to get off the plane... especially when they are connecting.
The last OP should run. The boyfriend is manipulative and sounds like a massive ass. It's just a test to see how much abuse he can get away with before the OP says stop. Don't let there be a second time, this is not something done by accident or miscommunication, but malicious. If someone does something by accident, by all means give them a second chance and discuss the behaviour with them (very important, a person can't change if they don't know). If it's done malicious, don't let it happen again, especially not when they don't apologize for that behaviour.
It makes no sense to reward negative behaviors. Great stewardess for nipping it in the bud! Adults, it seems, have adopted more negative behaviors than their kids. That is really a sad reflection of American’s in a public space being disrespectful to all around her. Sad…
Second story, wayyy too far. That kid just needed some guidance, his life at home was fucked up. No need to ruin the remainder of it, talk with the principal, the coach, anyone who's close to him. Get him some therapy, you kicked him repeatedly while he was down, that's no longer fighting that's attempted murder
There is a viral video of a morbidly obese couple that tried that tactic. A woman bought the seat in between them and had both spilling into her seat from either side. The woman was unforgivably rude to them. But I would have been ticked off too. The couple clearly didn’t want to purchase an extra seat, even though they should have been required to for their sizes. So they pulled that stunt, screwing over another paying passenger in the process. Not ok.
Me at the start: oh i hope this one isn't on the plane that they had to deal with the other Karen to get on... (THIS SENTENCE MAKES NO SENCE)
Edit: why is this so effing triggering
Once a husband and wife booked the window and aisle. I didn't know they even knew each other as they didnt speak to each other the whole flight.
It was very uncomfortable as they both used both armrests and oozed i to my personal space the whole flight
I didn't say anything until
After we landed she tried to cut into that non existing space between the aisle and middle seat. You know to get off the plane one person sooner
Im like excuse me, there is no place for me to go and if you need to be next to your husband, you should have sat there
Dirty looks and side eyes dont bother me one bit, but i would have liked to have told that old lady off, but my mother would have been mortified
i never understood why each chair doesnt have it's own arm rests; are we supposed to fight over them?
@@rosemaryus-ct6151 right!!!
My wife and I do that aisle and window booking all the time. If someone books the middle, I just offer them the window, and they're usually happy to make the switch, but about half the time nobody books the middle.
Story 1: I'm not about people being assholes on Flights because I've been seeing some videos and reports about it on the News.
One thing I can tell you is that I haven't dealt with a Karen on an Airplane because IRL, I've never been on a plane (so far in live)
My friends, family members and I were planning on traveling to Seattle in March 2023 by flight but 2 of them blew their budget for the bachelorette party in my hometown, so right now we're having a conversation of where we can go for a cheaper price
So Seattle is cool but a much cheaper and cooler place to go would be st.loui
@@Pestbot Thank you for the comment but unfortunately that's a little further way and probably more expensive on flight since I'm all the way in Alberta (Canada)
So right now we have Banff and Edmonton as our ideas for a cheaper trip (by driving) we're still having a conversation if we're going with 1 or both locations and if we're adding more or not
@@trollo_ed8869 could try ottowa, i hear thats nice in the winter, or even the falls, that whole city is beautiful you dont even need to go to the falls
The window and aisle seat "trick" does work, if the flight is not full. I've done it a few times. Twice it worked once it didn't. When the middle seat persons showed up we just smiled at each other shrugged our shoulders as the person sat down. We knew it was a gamble and this time we lost.
The first story is true I book a flight and nobody sat in the middle sit for the whole flight it was only me by the window and a pro female hockey player on the other side I forgot the hockey players name😢
Man I used to fly all the time throughout the 90s and early 2000s and never ever had an issue. People today are just nuts.
i personally havent had any promblems when boarding an aircraft when i did go on a flight smewhere and back the middle seat was always empty and i had the same flight attendant both trips
I don't why did you remove the best part of the game? That sonic game was nostalgic for me and I remember tons of it's jumps.
There was a guy in middle school that would scream lessbiiiannn at me in the hallways.. years later he turned out to be a flamer. I’m married to a man ..
Hii
This happen to me on an 8hr flight the flight attendant should not allow this. Half off people stuff can be on the next passenger space.
You did a good job making this video so cute. The little gil screaming stranger!!!!!!!!!
I recall flying late on New Years Day & arrived to check in to find my seat gone in Business Class. I was given a full refund & 3 seats in economy which suited me fine as I just wanted to sleep. I get up from a sleep to use the restroom & return to find a brat jump on my seat & suit coat. I see a woman coming towards me with bags as I tell the brat to get off my suit coat now & come out. A large Karen comes towards me screaming I threatened her baby. A flight attendant saw the whole thing & ordered them back to their seats. Seems brat boy wanted a window seat as mum sat in the middle seat but was too late to access a window seat for the brat. As I disembark I am met by police who question her - I just wanted to get to my hotel.
I would have kept on being with him despite not knowing, if you truly loved him. You never know what the future holds. If you were a planner and didn't like not knowing, you could still plan for it happening and then be happy that it didn't eventuate. My husband has a philosophy. Expect the worst and hope for the best. It covers all bases.
I would have totally done what she did and walked out the door without paying. I would have contacted the parents afterwards and told them that her (ex I hope) boyfriend volunteered her to pay without your permission. If they were lovely as she said, they would have taken her side I'm sure. You don't need a gold digger as your boyfriend.
except for what u hang on ur kids...
I had flight and tried seat swap to be nice. She too did not have center. The woman went nuts crazy is as crazy does. I got BLASTED with the N word and how I am one. If I was more white you would not see me in interior lighting. She said it again. Shame on her. Lead Stew heard it all.
"Call the cockpit crew. She needs to leave right now." (Here's my ID) BYE CRAZY KAREN!
BTW, I'm a sky Marshall. Lol
The gate agents and flight staff can make or break your flight experience 😊
story 1: yes. the trick to get the middle seat works most of the time. there's an advanced, but a bit more expensive, version. you book all three seats and cancel the one in the middle at last minute. you won't get a full refund (probably) but it's unlikely that somebody manages to buy that ticket so late. I hope the mini karen learned the lesson (the adult karen is beyond help I fear)
story 2: kudos to you for showing that guy what shame is. the "do you wanna try?" tactic is a classic that works 100% of the time. I don't think there was any need to kick him in the face. that can be considered bullying too. just let him attack you (but not hit you. there's a difference) until he calms or decides to leave. in your case you could also taunt him, when he tires, with "are you sure you don't want to try? it feels great and I'm sure one of your 'friends' won't mind to help you"
story 3: there's no need to know to plan things.
I'm epileptic. I don't know, I can't know, when will I get the next seizure. it may be tomorrow, it may be in twenty years. so, I'm always as prepared as I can be. I don't care if I will, or will not, have another seizure. I can have one, so I planned in case I have one.
I have a couple extra possible health issues since I had a few family members with cancer (all dead) and my mother, and two other close family members, have Crohn's disease (it's hereditary). I don't know if I will develop either of them. only way to know is if I do get Crohn's disease and/or cancer. so, I just planned what to do for any combination.
I got a cousin with Down syndrome and there was a high chance that I would get it too. my mother even refused to be tested. she didn't need to know. she was going to have her baby and didn't care if I had or not Down syndrome. she just planned for it. just in case.
note: sincerely, if you had asked me a year ago if I wanted to know the date of my death, I would say no. I don't need to know. since last year, I do want to know. why? because I'm curious if I will be able to endure, and recover, before I commit suicide. technically, I don't need the date of my death. only to know if I will, or not, suicide.
story 4: dump him. he's playing victim to milk you.
if i dont want to be hip to hip with a stranger i get the aisle and cough up for the next seat.
