A woman has been left fuming after a fellow traveller tried to 'steal' her seat on a plane - because it was better than his original area.
The Mirror reports that TikTok user Chelsea Zeferina explained on social media that she came across the man feigning sleep in her seat, as she boarded the plane.
Knowing he was in the wrong, the woman decided to 'wake him up' to ask him to move.

The man wasn't too happy about this, and made sure to make her feel awkward and uncomfortable during the whole six-hour flight from San Francisco to New York.
n her video, she said: "As someone who primarily travels by themselves, I have a lot of stories like this.
"But my favourite one is when I was flying a red-eye from San Francisco to New York, and I had booked a window seat so that I could sleep.
"I go to board the flight, it’s like 11 O'clock at night. I get to my row, and there is a man in my seat with his hoodie over his eyes, pretending to already be asleep.
"I tap him on the shoulder and I was like, 'Excuse me, that’s my seat.' He looks up at me not sleeping. He was not sleeping.
"He looks up at me and he goes, 'Oh, do you mind if I sit here? I’m supposed to be in the middle seat, but I don’t want to sit there.'
"And I was like, 'Yes, I mind. It’s 11 O’clock at night. We’re flying a red-eye to New York. I booked that seat on purpose. That’s my seat'."
Chelsea continued to explain how the man got all "huffy and puffy" before eventually moving over to his seat in the middle.

She added: "Mad the entire flight. The audacity to just sit there, pretend that you’re sleeping, and then get mad when I asked for my seat that I booked and paid for back. People are crazy."
One TikTok user commented on the video, saying: "I will never give up my seat unless it is an upgrade. If you want to travel all together as a family do your seats in advance - not my problem."
Another user added: "I notice that single women traveling always get asked to move or their seat gets taken."
A third user said: "A woman told me I ruined their trip - because I wouldn’t move. REALLY! Your WHOLE trip. Ugh!"
And another concluded: "I book aisle seats. I will switch an aisle for an aisle seat but I will never switch for a middle seat, which is almost always what is being asked."
