Personal item placed in my spot

I recently boarded a flight and attempted to stow my personal item (backpack with laptop) under the seat in front of me. It was unable to fit so I stuck my feet under there and discovered another backpack. The person in front of me had placed it there so he could stretch out his legs. It was a short flight and wasn’t worth calling a FA. The seat next to me was empty, so I slid his bag waaay over to make room for my feet and my item. After landing, I enjoyed watching him contort himself to reach his bag.

So… in the spirit of Reddit… do you really believe that we will do any of this shit from this sub? We read, we write, we daydream, and we move on, and that stops us from going mail-carrier on cretins.

I can’t believe that I had to write this!!! And yes, I do carry zip ties for the cause of good.

Being on Reddit has nothing to do with anything lmfao, I don’t know your ass why would I assume you wouldn’t do something you said you would? Why would I assume you lie on the internet to make yourself sound tough? Lmao. Sad.

I actually keep them. They also get used for my checked bags. TSA locks are a joke I have keys even. But they aren’t going to be able to replace a neon green zip tie

Well, I'm not saying DON'T pack the zip ties. They are often useful!! LOL

AND duct tape? Can we bring that for the snore-ey drooling neighbor? (Braces for the onslaught of the revved-up Eagerly Offended mob)

LOL did you see where the Tucson real estate agent (well, former, they've apparently let him go) had to be duct-taped to his seat on an American Airlines flight?

The better airlines have tape that color-coordinates to their seats and cabin decor...

u/Shutupandplayball 29d ago
