Woman goes viral after for refusing to switch seats with fellow mom on flight | GMA

The fact she was sitting in your seat before she had even asked tells you everything you need to know about her character.

This lady didn't need to explain to us why she wanted the window seat she paid for. The gall and entitlement of people to just do whatever they want these days is incredible.

This woman owes nobody an explanation for why she wanted to sit in the seat she picked and paid for.

She was totally trying to gaslight you. I’m glad you stood up for yourself.

I was once asked by a guy to swap my prepaid aisle seat with a middle seat so he could sit with his girlfriend. I said “sure…for fifty bucks” which is about what I paid for the pre-selection. He said that was ridiculous and after a little back and forth he called me a sucker for paying it. I just said I’m the sucker sitting next to your girlfriend and you’re the guy who just confirmed it’s not worth fifty bucks.

Can say with 100% certainty that the mother's teens were overjoyed not to have to sit next to their mother.

Stop explaining why you didn’t trade. You paid for the ticket, she was wrong.

I was flying american years back and a lady asked me to switch seats so she could sit next to her daughter I said as long as its an aisle she said of course and pointed to seat directly in front of mine, I got up switched and then another person came up to the seat and said its theirs the woman had of course lied and hers was the middle seat (5.5 hrs from lax to mco) amazingly a flight attendant had watched the whole episode and promptly marched me up to first class!!!!!!!! Win win

“Your poor planning does not constitute an emergency for me.” It’s shocking how often people’s jaws fall open.

News flash: you don't need a reason to actually use the seat you booked. And, it's just rude to purposely sit in a seat that's not yours.

If sitting together is so vital to you, pay the money to do it. Do not expect other people who paid the money to give up their paid seat.

Years back I flew overseas on a 7 hour flight with my daughter. We could not get seats together. It never occurred to me to ask someone to switch their seat so I could sit with her. It was our problem for booking late. I had the window & she had the aisle in the row behind me & opposite. I told her you’re close by if you need anything. I was surprised when the fellow beside me offered to switch with her. It was a nice gesture & he kept his aisle seat but I never expected him or anyone to switch seats. My thought is when we book late it is our problem. No one should have to sacrifice their seat for our mistakes.

She encountered a person who gets her way and she stood up for herself... good for her.

She kept asking the kids if they were fine to further "shame" you. They were probably GLAD to be away from her! Her entitlement is absolutely atrocious!!!

This story makes even less sense than most. If the mother was so worried why didn't she switch with her older son to sit near the younger daughter?

This happened to my family a few months ago. We were returning from vacation when a woman and her family decided to take our three airplane seats. I calmly explained to her, that they were our seats which we paid for when we purchased our tickets (we always purchase our seats when we purchase our tickets). She and her family refused to move, we had to call the flight attendant who then had to threaten to call security to get the family to move. She did not want her seats which were in the back of the airplane (our seats were in the front). She claimed that her travel agent told her she could sit anywhere on the airplane. She was very angry. Some people believe that they can take whatever they want whenever they want; as if the world revolves around them. I am happy you did not give in to her and you did not have to explain to her why you wanted the seat, you paid for it, so you were entitled to sit there.

I’m a flight attendant and you definitely did the right thing for standing up for yourself. The ladies children were definitely old enough not require mom hovering over them. Kudos to you for not allowing her to low key bully you.❤✈️

Why do people automatically think because they have kids they have some kind of privilege? Good on you girl you deserve your seat I hope you got some rest.

Parents need to suck it up and plan ahead. Sitting 2 ft away from your teenaged kid instead of right beside them is YOUR “problem”, no one else’s.

Those kids were probably relieved to not be sitting next to that nightmare of a mom
