Plane Passenger’s Revenge on Annoying Man Sat Behind Cheered—’Satisfying’

by News7

A passenger who took matters into their own hands to get revenge on a fellow traveler has gained viral attention.

On a flight to Canada, Reddit user Striking-Factor5289 was prompted to take significant action when they were repeatedly disturbed by the person seated behind them.

In a Reddit post four days ago on r/pettyrevenge with more than 30,000 upvotes, the traveler wrote that their seat was repeatedly being kicked. “I thought it was a kid, so I ignored it. After a few minutes of non-stop kicking, I turned around and saw that it was a guy in his mid-twenties,” the poster said.

Despite politely asking him to stop, the nuisance continued, accompanied by snickers from the mischievous group. Fueled by frustration and a desire for payback, the ingenious Reddit user devised a subtle plan. They grabbed their water bottle and, with precision, emptied half of it onto the backpack that belonged to the seat-kicking culprit, conveniently stowed beneath their own seat.

The revenge reached its climax when the flight landed, and the kicking passenger was taken by surprise when he discovered his belongings soaked. “I heard him freak out when we landed and it was satisfying af [as f***],” the poster wrote.

The post quickly gained viral attention on Reddit, where fellow users appreciated the creativity and subtlety of the revenge.

“This is what I come to this sub[-Reddit] for. Well done,” wrote Knitsanity, while frequent traveler Grouchy-Ad4338 related to the experience, praising the post for its creativity and subtlety.

Some users, like geepy66, questioned why the entire water bottle wasn’t emptied into the bag. In response, @Striking-Factor5289 replied: “In case I get thirsty :)”. The comment section was filled with praise for the poster’s ingenuity, with zarafini writing: “Stories like this are why I awaken each day. Succinct and perfectly petty.”

However, not everyone agrees that the solution was best dealt with. Elizabeth Wyse, editorial director of Debrett’s etiquette-coaching company, told Newsweek: “No matter how irritating you find your fellow passengers and no matter how much you deplore their insensitivity when it comes to seat-kicking, arm rest-hogging and seat-reclining, you should deal with the problem in as direct and straightforward way as possible.”

Instead, Wyse said you should try politely and non-aggressively addressing the passenger about their behavior.

“Most passengers will respond positively to this sort of complaint, but if they fly off the handle or refuse to comply, enlist the help of an air steward. Never try to exact revenge through a clandestine act, such as emptying a water bottle on the offending passenger’s baggage,” added Wyse.

“It might give you a petty sense of satisfaction, but it will not in any way ensure that the inconsiderate passenger is made aware of their deviant behavior.”
