The anonymous passenger took to Reddit to rant at the woman sitting next to him in the middle seat, explaining that she tried to take control of the window.
She captioned the post: “The person next to me on a plane kept violating my personal space.”
‘I was flying in the window seat, because I like to look out the window. The woman sitting next to me approached me several times to close the window blind. She never asked me, she just walked directly in front of me to close the blind. She would immediately open it again and, a few minutes later, she would come back to me to close it.
‘It was a short-haul domestic flight at midday, so there’s no reason to need darkness in the middle of the day. And there is absolutely no excuse for violating my personal space multiple times without asking me, acknowledging me, or treating me like a human being in some way,” he explained.
Hoping the woman in the middle seat would stop playing with the window, he turned on the reading light, pointed it in her direction, and began reading.
‘So I took out my book and turned on the reading light, even though there was plenty of natural light from the open window to read. I then positioned my hands so that my watch reflected the reading light directly into his eyes.
“I read like that for an hour, moving my hand all the time, so that the light shone back and forth on his eyes and was very distracting and annoying,” he added.
When the flight landed, she made it very clear that she did not appreciate his attitude and behavior during the flight and snapped back at him.
She said: “Once we landed and she took off her headphones, I turned to her and said, ‘next time you fly, book a window seat if you want window control.’ Or at least treat me like a human being and ask me first.” “You violate my personal space. “What you did is incredibly rude.”
People online flooded the comments section and rushed to her defense while criticizing her.
‘She looked SO OFFENDED. And, naturally, she walked two miles an hour. Being a city walker, I got in front of her easily, then once we were on the moving walkway, I immediately stopped in front of her. I did the same on the escalator to the sidewalk, before spinning it all the way to my ride.
People online flooded the comments section and rushed to her defense while criticizing the other woman.
One person said: ‘I’m with you. As far as I’m concerned, whoever is sitting by the window controls the blinds.
Someone else wrote: ‘Okay. It’s also very easy to ask if someone can close it or partially close it. They don’t have to do it in any way, but a simple question is polite.’
Another user added: ‘Definitely, unless the sun is completely blinding you. In which case, ask politely. The feeling that so many people have rights these days is shocking.”
One user commented: ‘The window controls the window. The hallway has more space. The one in the middle has the armrests.
Another user said: ‘In what universe does someone knock on the window, let alone come up to you multiple times without asking?’ Seriously, I think people leave their brains at home when they travel, it’s just baffling.’
This is not the first time travelers have sparked furious debates over airplane etiquette.
Just a few weeks ago, a frequent flyer caused a stir after showing off a dangerous travel trick in which she wore her seatbelt around her ankles in a bid to sit more “comfortably” during the flight.
In the past, many passengers also wondered if they should change seats while traveling if someone asked them to.
In December, a frequent flyer issued a public service announcement to his fellow travelers about swapping seats after he found himself in a nightmarish experience in which he was forced to move five times when he reluctantly gave up his spot to another passenger.
The unknown man took to Reddit to tell his “permanently changed” seat-changing story. [his] I care about being nice and swapping seats with someone.
Another frequent flyer previously revealed he refused to swap his window seat with an “entitled” passenger who wanted to sit next to his wife.
The anonymous woman took to Reddit to share how she refused to move to the middle seat during an 11-hour flight from New York to Cairo, Egypt, so the man sitting next to her could sit next to his wife.
The anonymous woman shared her story on the social media platform as a way to rant about the man in the Titled people subreddit, leading others on the web to criticize the man for asking someone else to upgrade to a lower quality seat so he could be happy.
The denial comes months after a man sparked furious debate when he refused to give up his first-class seat to his boss, despite using his own credit card points to do so.
In the past, DailyMail.com’s Jaci Stephen has even offered her point of view, confessing that she “absolutely refuses” to change seats, no matter how angry the passenger requesting the change may be.
