Plane passenger used angering tactic to get the window seat he 'deserved'

A plane passenger has described how he deliberately made the man next to him as angry as possible in a bid to get the window seat he believes he deserved. The man says he tried to book a window seat on the plane but something went wrong, so when he boarded he did everything he could to 'get the window set he deserved'

Taking to Reddit, the unnamed man wrote: "I'm on a plane but I wanted a window seat and so I asked the person who had the window seat, whether I could have it. He wouldn't allow it and I couldn't believe it, I tried paying for a window seat but something went wrong, and I had a seat which I didn't want.

"It was the companies' fault for messing up the seating situation, and so I thought I deserve a window seat. I complained and the guy sitting next to the window wouldn't budge, and I know other people in the aeroplane were giving me serious angry looks but I didn't give a s***.

"I started complaining to the plane stewards and stewardesses, and they were just telling me to sit down at my seat. I kept complaining about how it was the company's fault for messing up the seating system, as I booked a window seat.

"They didn't give a s*** and I kept demanding that they give me the window seat of my choice and I can tell everyone on the aeroplane were preferring a baby crying compared to a grown man complaining."

He added: "I kept asking the guy whether he could just swap seats with me and he kept saying no, and so I kept asking. At one point he became angry and I just started smiling. Then I kept on asking whether he could just swap seats with me consistently, and I knew I was getting to him," reports The Mirror.
