A man has told of his anger after a woman stole his pre-booked seat on a plane flight and refused to move. He decided to take revenge by kicking her chair every two minutes.
The man said he had been heading across the US, from Florida to California, to visit his best mate and had a ticket for aisle seat 23C. But he said he was surprised when he found a "twentysomething woman" had already bagged his seat, reports the Mirror.
On Reddit, where he goes by the username u/Smolame, the infuriated man recalled: "After a 15-second stare down I say 'well?' and she says she is 'comfortable already' and 'not moving' and 'wants to sleep' blah blah.

"OK, I see how it is. Real dumb to put someone upset with you in the seat behind you."
He went on: "I proceeded to set a silent timer on my phone that went off every two minutes to remind myself to kick her seat, violently, and then every time the seat belt sign went off I'd get up, grabbing the top of the seat to lift myself up pulling her seat back and forth - and one time (accidental but worth it) pulled her hair she put over the back of the seat.
"Safe to say she had lots of extra 'turbulence' and got absolutely no sleep. There were MANY death stares and head turns.
"Each time I would just smile and wave. I knew she wouldn't say anything either because she is not even supposed to be in that seat anyways. Happy travels."
There were mixed responses in the comments. One person said: "Smart move. Better her be in front of you than vice-versa, and just the right dose of petty revenge."
Another argued: "Nah, sorry man but you gotta call the flight attendant. They'll take care of it for you.
"If she tries to pull something on you then you can call the attendant back. Best case scenario, the flight attendant will actually upgrade you if possible."
A third joked: "I'd have said 'well since you're in my seat, I'm gonna sit there anyway' - and proceed to sit in her lap."
