A Reddit user “BananaRamaRepublic69” shared a post on Reddit’s AITA community, On a recent flight, he saw a service dog walking around the aisle and interacting with passengers. It was walking around alone, and people were petting it, the post said. In response to BananaRamaRepublic69’s question about the dog, the flight attendant told him it was a service dog and that there was nothing they could do about it.
According to BananaRamaRepublic69, the dog came up to him and put its legs on him, looking up at him as if it wanted to pet him. Taking his legs out of the way and placing them on his seat, BananaRamaRepublic69 moved them away from him. Then he yelled out for their dog to be picked up. As a woman in her 20s walked over to take the dog away, BananaRamaRepublic69 told her to control the dog and keep it in its carrier. The woman told him to “F off” and that he ruined her dog’s fun.
BananaRamaRepublic69 received snide comments from the woman throughout the flight as other passengers approached her to tell her how much they enjoyed the dog. In this situation, BananaRamaRepublic69 wants to know if he was the a-hole. Keep on scrolling down to read the full post and read what some of the Redditors had to say about the situation.
