This entitled passenger needs to check his self.
A Redditor, who goes by @wrathofthefonz online, revealed how a fellow flight passenger’s fraudulent behavior worked against them when they allegedly “demanded preboarding” to snag a good seat.
The traveler was flying a United Airlines flight from Pittsburgh to Chicago when they noticed the strange encounter.
“Guy demands preboarding for those who need special assistance. No wheelchair, but says he needs special assistance as he just had knee surgery,” the user wrote in the post on Dec. 17.
The man boards the plane and gets comfortable in the exit row seat, which is typically forbidden for travelers who are injured or unable to help other travelers if a crisis occurs.
“You must be physically capable and willing to perform emergency actions when seated in emergency or exit rows. If you are not, ask for another seat,” states the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) official site.
The Redditor agreed, noting, “If he just had knee surgery, he can’t sit in the exit row since he would need to be ready, willing, and able to assist in case of an emergency.”
However, the gate agent picked up on the passenger’s stunt and quickly gave him the boot out of the seat with extra legroom.
“Dude changes his tune and indignantly insists he’s fine and can sit in the exit row after all,” the user wrote.
Despite his effort to convince the gate agent he’s well equipped, he had to relocate to another seat that was better suited to his alleged recovering injury.
“End result: His wife sat in her original seat in the exit row and he got a middle seat in the back,” the blogger concluded.
Many Redditors found the flier’s reality check to be good karma.
“He got what he deserved! It’s so good to see instant karma!” one person commented.
“I think the proper term for a guy like this in Pittsburghese is a “jag off,” chuckled a jokester. “Good on the GA for enforcing rules.”
“I was on this flight waiting in group 1 line when I saw this unfold small world,” a traveler on the flight chimed in.
“The first half of this, I was like, okay, some people have invisible disabilities…. loved the ending,” laughed another.
