Plane Passenger's Perfect Solution To People Who Pull On Your Seat When Getting Up Has Got People On The Internet Buzzing

by Maryjane

Although it can be quick and easy to travel by air, it's sad that this mode of transportation isn't always enjoyable. Many of us associate flying with long lineups, uncomfortable seats, and protracted delays.

And to make matters worse, other passengers frequently exhibit a lack of consideration for others around them. Traveling with rude people can exacerbate an already unpleasant situation.

Examples include loud talkers, armrest hogs, and seat recliners. But the aggressive seat pull from behind is one thing that we can all identify with.

You know how someone behind you or someone in their row needs to use the bathroom mid-flight? Then, they use the back of their seat as a method to pull themselves up out of their chair, as opposed to using their own armrests.

Yes, this is what happened to the OP, and the person was in for a long ride. When this happens to the OP now, they bide their time, waiting for the person's return.

Upon their return, right before they sit, the OP makes sure the button that reclines the seat is fully pressed in. The person generally expects the seat to provide the same resistance they used to get out of their seat in the first place, but that's not how it'll turn out.

Read the entire story for yourself below.

Commenters are eager to test out this new power move. The next time one of these obnoxious people sits behind me, I, for one, know I'll be using this power move.

What do you think about this? Do you employ this tactic?

Do you take your seat with pride? Please tell us in the comments.
