It was a really turbulent interaction.
A 26-year-old woman began a debate after wondering if she’d done mistaken by not giving up her seat for a wheelchair-bound woman inside an airport terminal.
Taking to Reddit together with her grievance, the anonymous user made it clear that she arrived well before her flight and snagged a seat with loads of time to spare. She also noted that, on the time, spots to sit down weren’t exactly in high demand.
“After I arrived on the terminal, there have been 8 different gates but just one was getting used so there have been quite a couple of seats,” the girl wrote of her non-handicap designated area.
“Since I arrived early, I took one on the top by the window. I’m traveling solo and like looking the window. I began listening to my podcast attempting to wipe out sleep from my eyes and kept to myself.”
A couple of minutes before boarding, she saw that one other woman and her wheelchair-bound mom were approaching the gate. The Reddit user, who noted that her father also needs assistance in airports, cautiously noted that each women were capable of walk onto the flight themselves.
“They began to go up my row after which stopped to ask if I’d move. There have been tons of open seats. Probably over 100. I definitely had a nicer, closer seat. Once they asked if I’d move, I said no,” she recalled.
“The younger lady called me rude and [scoffed] about it. Again, there have been tons of [open] seats and I had been there for some time. I’d have stood or moved if there weren’t any seats.”
After firmly standing her ground by remaining seated, the mother and daughter allegedly gave the girl some stank eye until it was all three of their turns to board in the ultimate group.
Once on the flight, the passenger sitting next to the Reddit user ostracized her for not moving.
“Nobody else offered to maneuver,” she identified in her post.
In a short time, the web community got here to the girl’s defense.
“They may have used any of the opposite seats,” one user commented.
“Based on the incontrovertible fact that there have been loads of other suitable seats open, and your seat was not specifically marked as for disabled people, it seems incredibly entitled for them to expect you to maneuver,” wrote one other.
One other commenter who said they use a wheelchair in airports added, “I just stay sitting within the airport wheelchair wherever they park me, until it’s time to board. It’s particularly convenient when the terminal is packed.”
This tense terminal moment comes on the heels of one other recent seat-swapping fiasco.
A passenger had a meltdown when a fellow traveler wouldn’t forfeit their business class seat in order that a lady’s husband could move up from economy class so the bossy couple could sit together.
