Bloke defended after refusing to give plane seat up for newly-wed couple

This man wasn't budging for anyone

Usually, you’ll hear about how a an airline passenger was slated for refusing to move, but this time you’re treated to a man who is being hailed as a hero for his refusal to budge.

After a newlywed couple were seated separately, the pair asked a man whether he could switch seats so that they could sit together for their flight.

However, this isn’t something the man was interested in due to the specific seating he chose, and so he refused.

Then, it kicked off.

Taking to Reddit, the man said: “They asked me if they can change seats with me to which I politely refused and gave them my reasons. One of the reasons was my size and aisle traffic.

“I always get bumped by someone when I am on the aisle seat. One time, my elbow was badly hurt because the trolley hit me. I (have) avoided the aisle seat ever since.”

As the man just 'wanted to sleep and relax', he wasn’t in the mood to be annoyed by the couple.

However, another man sat on the aisle seat of his row and 'tried to persuade' him to change seats, 'making a scene' and acting as though he was the 'scrooge in the couple's honeymoon' for refusing.

According to the man, the couple wanted to sit next to each other as they jetted off to their honeymoon.

In the forum, the man asked users: “I didn't budge and all the people around me, including the crew, looked like they hate me. Am I wrong to refuse changing my seat?”

Quickly, he found out that nobody believed that he was TA (the a**h*le) in this situation.

One user defended him: “If they wanted to be seated together so badly, they should have paid extra to reserve seats together.

“It always boggles my mind that they don't plan through like that, and then expect others to just give up a certain seat that passenger paid for specifically.”

Another wrote: “Newlywed entitlement is a thing. The proper bottom line has been stated here many times.

“You booked and paid for that seat you should in no way feel bad or guilty for not giving it to someone else who couldn't be bothered to plan ahead or pay extra.”

Someone else added: “Every time this story comes up the person is not the a****** for refusing to move. You booked your seat specially. Sucks to be them but not your problem.”

So, it clearly wasn’t his problem that the newly wedded pair didn’t book their seats together or couldn’t find a seats next to each other.

Choose a different flight, perhaps?
