The 34-year-old explained how he was travelling back from Dublin to Washington DC with his wife, 36, when luck struck
A man has sparked a debate after revealing he 'banned' a stranger from sitting next to him on a plane because he wanted the extra room for himself.
"Nothing eventful happened for the first 4.5 hours of the flight. The flight attendants were amazing and even gave us extra drinks for the 'guy in the middle'." However, a passenger approached them mid-flight and said her friend would now be taking the middle seat because she 'needed' to escape the cries of a baby sitting near her.
"The flight attendant said the agreement was that they could take an available aisle seat but could not disrupt anyone's seating arrangements. The woman then starts moaning about how I was assigned the middle but then moved to the aisle before takeoff, so I shouldn't even have that aisle seat. I had been sitting there for almost 5 hours and we had already distributed our items all over the row.
"The only thing I did this entire time was ask to talk to the flight attendant. I did not say anything else to this woman, though I would have liked to." Wanting to know whether he was in the wrong, he asked Reddit users: "Am I the a******* for not volunteering the middle seat mid-flight?"
