The aircraft passenger testified with their “first brave of the Seat Thieves”, whose series of seat replacement for the surprising reason left them – and probably others – stunned.
The incident took place on a regional flight from Houston in the seat configuration 1-2, where one passenger tried repeatedly to ask her seats that did not belong.
According to the original poster (OP), as passengers boarded, the man approached his assigned window seat, just to find a woman sitting in it. When he pointed out a mixture, she insisted that her seat was hers.
“Do you think I can stay here?”
He showed his board, proving to be otherwise, and she moved the Germans – although not her right headquarters. Instead, she moved four rows back to the exit seat and settled.
A moment later turned to another passenger and asked, “Do you think I can stay here?”
After checking the flight folder before boarding, he knew the plane was full and told her that he could probably not.

Sure, within a few minutes, an upright seat owner arrived. Once again, the woman claimed her seat her, and when she failed, she tried to convince her man to take it for him.
This time he gave and took his original seat.
As soon as she secured his preferred place, she turned to traveler over her and she admitted why she converted, OP told the redditters.
“I didn’t mean to sit in my seat – that’s my husband elsewhere. He’s drunk and I didn’t want to deal with him.”
Then she took out the phone, he played videos and talked without a headphone for the rest of the summer. In order for things to worsen, the air conditioner did not work properly, leaving all uneasy.
‘I never give a seat’
Many Reddit users have used the opportunity to air their frustrations to passengers who take places that have not booked.
One person is a muscle: “So the guy connected from his seat had to sit next to her drunken husband? I’m sure it was fun for him.
“Each of these stories only intensifies that I will never give my place to everything that squatted in it.”
Another one dropped, “watching videos (without) the headset in the public. I’m starting to understand why her husband drinks.”
Many users have criticized airlines to create these situations filling with the seat selection with the passengers facilitating justifying seats that did not pay.
