A plane passenger was left stunned after a mum called her a "spiteful b***h" because she refused to let her child play with her mobile phone.
The woman was on a flight from Budapest to London and was seated next to a mum and her seven-year-old son.
The passenger was originally allocated the window seat but when the mother asked if she could let her son sit there, she happily agreed to accommodate them.
The woman plugged in her headphones and began watching the Marvel movie Venom on her mobile phone, however shortly afterwards the mum and son swapped seats and the boy was in he middle seat.
The film got to a point where Venom "bit the head off of a bad guy", and the woman said the mum tapped her on the shoulder to ask if the movie is appropriate for children., writes The Mirror.
Only then did she realise the child had also been watching her screen.
When she responded to say the film was rated a 15, the mum suggested she put on something more suited to children or turned it off all together.
When she refused the woman became confrontational and demanded the woman share her mobile phone with her son.
The passenger said: "Now I'm not gonna lie, I'm very confrontational - confrontation makes me giddy, but I was dead a** shocked.
"'Uh, no. I'm still gonna watch the movie I picked for my flight' I responded. Now the kid pipes up, 'Have you got any games I could play?' 'No, because I'm watching a movie'. 'Come on, he's bored' [the mum] said.
'It's not my problem that your child is bored, you should have planned ahead'. I shrugged and put my headphones back on. Pressed play and resumed.
"Another two minutes passed and once again the mother and child swapped places - yes - the mother was now sat next to me. Yay!"
The movie finished shortly before the plane was due to land, and when the woman opened Spotify to listen to some music for the remainder of the journey, she says the mum sat next to her mumbled: "You could at least let my kid play a game now you spiteful b***h."
At which point the woman says she snapped and fired back: "How about you be f***ing grateful I let your kid look out the window the entire flight you ungrateful c***"."
They sat side-by-side in uncomfortable silence until the plane touched down, when the woman then remained sat in her aisle seat and allowed every other passenger to disembark first "just to live up to my petty nature".
After sharing the story on Reddit, other users were full of praise for the woman, with one writing: "You sit next to my child? You better entertain them. This mindset is so entitled and disgusting."
A second wrote: "As a mom. Dear God plan better... good for you standing your ground!"
And another loved her handling of the situation, adding: "That's chef's kiss perfect."
