Passenger demands woman turn off in-flight film because she doesn't want spoilers

A woman was called 'stuck up' by a fellow passenger who demanded she turn off her in-flight film.

The 22-year-old was taking her first ever flight and bagged herself an aisle seat on the Delta jet.

She settled herself in and decided to watch Uncharted on the inflight entertainment system, thinking the Tom Holland flick would help to kill a couple of hours.

However, ten minutes into the film she was tapped on the shoulder by a woman in the aisle across from her who told her to turn off the film.

"Confused, I asked her why," the put upon passenger wrote on Reddit.

"She said it was because she has not seen the movie and didn't want to see my screen and see any spoilers.

"I told her that she could watch it on her screen and she said 'no', because she wanted to watch a different movie.

"I responded that I was going to keep watching my movie. She huffed and she started to complain, but I just ignored her."

As the young woman continued to watch the film, her irate fellow flier bumped into her several times as she made her way to the toilet.

At the end of the flight the passenger stood up to get her bags, only for her unhappy fellow passenger to "start yelling" at her.

"By this time I was tired and ready to get off the plane and said 'ma'am if you were in such a rush to get off, then you should have a picked a seat closer to the front or gotten and upgraded seat'," she continued.

"She rolled her eyes and called me a 'stuck up b***h' and kept going on and on about how people are so disrespectful these days."

People in the comments beneath the tale rushed to the young woman's defence, arguing that she was well within her rights to continue watching the film.

One person wrote: "How are you going to spoil a movie on from your screen if she’ll be watching her own movie?"

Another added: "Unfortunately as a nice person you’re under prepared for dealing with these types of problem people. I only wish you would have told her the ending of the movie."

A third pointed out: "You shouldn’t have to switch your movie just because someone else hasn’t seen it! She could’ve just not looked at your screen!"
