A man has taken to social media to call out an ‘entitled plane passenger’ who dumped his overhead carry-on onto his lap to make room for her own because she didn’t want to check her bag
A man is left outraged after an “entitled” plane passenger dumped his carry-on case to make room in the overhead luggage compartment for their case instead. The incident occurred when he was travelling on an “oversold flight” where he was then thrust into an argument with a complete stranger.
Taking to Reddit, the traveller said: “I was on a typical oversold flight but, being an elite traveller, I got to board earlier than most. As the cattle call of people continue to find their seats, a woman straggler stops in the aisle beside me and begins looking for a place for her carry-on. Not surprising.
“Well, all the compartments are full. Also, not surprising on a full flight. What was surprising? She proceeds to remove my carryon from the overhead above me.” Astounded, he asked her to leave his property alone – but she didn’t even acknowledge him, let alone his complaints.
“The entitled passenger didn’t even look at me,” he added. “She just dropped my bag on my lap and then proceeded to try and shove her suitcase in the space vacated by mine. [I said], ‘Hey lady, you cannot take my bag out to put yours in’. Did I say it too loudly? I obviously did because people around stopped moving and watched what is happening.
