Long trips are exhausting, so if you get the chance to relax while in the air, you grab it. Bratster22, a Reddit user, did precisely that. The man reserved a seat with additional legroom for one of his recent excursions. During boarding, however, a woman with a baby approached him and requested if he might swap seats with her husband, putting the man in a difficult situation. In the end, he refused. However, as time passed and Bratster22 told more people about the encounter, he began to have reservations. To put it all behind him, he informed Reddit’s ‘Am I The [Jerk]?’ community what had happened, asking its 4 million users to judge his behavior. We have the story in OP’s own words which will help you understand it better. So what are you waiting for? Continue reading the story below and let us know what you think in the comments?
1. OP and his wife were traveling for a long journey, for 10 hours, when they booked two seats with extra leg space
2. The woman sitting on the middle seat asked OP to switch seats with her husband who was sitting on the seat with lesser leg space which OP did not pay for
3. She pointed toward her husband and told her that she needs help from him with the baby
4. While OP’s wife stayed quiet, he firmly said that they could not exchange the seat as he had paid extra for the legroom seat. She said they paid extra too but his husband has been given that seat (suspicious)
5. He refused again and the steward came whom OP told the same thing, the woman started cursing
6. The steward shifted them both to 2 vacant seats in the first row with legroom whereas the woman kept making bad comments
7. OP told his inlaws who said he should have just exchanged seats as the woman had a baby. Now OP wants your opinion on this, did he do the right thing by refusing the lady or not?
8. Here an edit;
9. Now let’s see what Redditors had to say on this, NTA or AITA
10. NTA, entitlement does not come with a baby.
12. Absolutely on point
13. Paying extra is done to get something extra, not to give it over to someone just like that
14. There were clearly other options available
15. This one seems to have a valid and firm point, that’s the attitude everyone should adopt
16. Really, people need to stop asking for benefits just because something makes them entitled to ask so, things do not go this way
Have you ever met with people who ask you for entitled favors and when you fairly tell them “no”, they start talking ill about you? I mean, that’s childish and no one should ever do that.
