A plane passenger has been filmed arguing with a couple after they allegedly gave his seat to their child without asking him first.
In a 20 second TikTok, recorded by another passenger, the man can be heard saying: “I don't care about your daughter, your child, and none of that! I paid for this one. I don't care about none of that.”
@lalawright2 Respectfully they should’ve asked him if it was coo first cause he did pay for that seat.

The TikTok reads: “someone took his $300 seat & gave it to their kid without asking first.”
In the comments, people have rushed to defend the man in the video. “As a mother, I support this. It’s no one’s responsibility but my own to plan for my kids.”
Another TikToker said: “I’m sick of parents feeling entitled on plans. BOOK UR CHILD IN THE SEAT NEXT TO YOU.”
A bad guy?
Since the viral video, the man arguing over the seat has identified himself in a follow-up TikTok as Osaac Summer.
He said that there was more to the story that wasn’t captured. Summer claimed that the flight attendant told him that the child was entitled to the seat as she had boarded first, despite him paying for the seat.
He said he was told that he could take his seat back, but he didn’t want to be a “bad guy”.
“I was really getting frustrated because everyone on the plane was really trying to paint me as a bad guy because I wanted my seat from this family,” he said.
@osaacsummer MORAL OF THE STORY GIVE PEOPLE THEIR SEAT THEY PAID FOR! Follow up from @lalawright2 video of me on the plane.

Summer said that he would have been okay with giving the family the seat if they had asked him first. He explained that he’s 6’2 and wanted space on the aisle seat.
He said he got even more annoyed when he heard a flight attendant apologising to the family about the inconvenience he’d caused.
“Moral of the story is get people their seats back and flight attendants do your job,” he said.
In the comments, Oscaar said that he was flying on American Airlines.
“Sitting people with minors first, doesn’t mean take a seat you didn’t pay for,” one TikToker said in the comments.
Another said: “as a flight attendant, the flight attendant on the flight was wrong.”
