A woman has come under fire for asking another woman to move their bag on a flight.
Flying can be a stressful time for some people, and it isn't uncommon for travellers to get possessive over their seats, especially if they've paid for them, but one woman shared how another flight passengers made her move her bag in the overhead cabin.
Taking to a popular online forum, she explained how the other traveller spoke to her in a patronising way and made her move her luggage in the overhead cabin, and left with a smirk.

Remaining anonymous, she asked fellow Mumsnet users if was being unreasonable for thinking it was odd behaviour.
She wrote: "Long haul back to London, overhead bin above me was full so I put it in the one opposite.
"Woman behind me seemingly annoyed by this as she said challengingly that she wanted to put her bag in there. Then made me move my bag to the centre of the bin with a patronising, “Is that ok?” And put her bag in, then walked off to sit in her seat four rows away from the overhead bin. So she was no more entitled to use it than I was.
"Am I being unreasonable to think this is just odd, like she could have just placed her bag in the centre and left me alone?
"Even when we left and she walked by down to get her bag she was smiling at me smugly."
The post quickly gathered comments, with many agreeing the passenger who asked her to move the bag was being a 'bully'.
One wrote: You are not being unreasonable. Sounds like you met a bully on an ego-trip."
A second agreed: She’s a bully. It makes not a blind bit of difference to have your bag to the side or middle she just wanted to make you move yours. It always gives me a shiver when you meet someone like this.
A third commented, sharing her own experience: "There are always strange people on a plane. On our last long haul a women had sat herself in our seats and then laid down with our pillows and blankets and trying to sleep.
"We had to get the air steward to move her even though I showed our tickets and then we had no pillow or blanket as I didn’t want to use the ones she had used. I don’t know why she felt entitled to our seats the plane was still boarding. She gave us such dirty looks."
Another replied: "People are weirdly possessive about those overhead bins. Last year I moved a bag along a bit because there a big gap next to it. Suddenly this woman leaped out of her seat and started shouting that it was her laptop and how dare I touch it, I could damage it etc. I couldn't tell there was a laptop in the bag not having X-ray vision and I slid it along, I didn't throw it in the air."
But a fifth said she should have stood up for herself: "Yes, she was out of order but I’ve learned over the years not to put up with nonsense like this. I’d have said, ‘there’s room for yours there’ and looked straight at her."
But others thought the poster was being dramatic, with one adding: "I think it's strange that a very slight altercation upset you enough to think on and post about it?"
Another interjected: "She probably had flight anxiety. Some people can be rigid and abrupt when afraid."
