Woman reveals her petty revenge tactic when people recline their seats on an airplane

A woman has revealed the genius way she seeks revenge when passengers recline their seats entirely while flying.

The New York Post reported that during a segment on the radio show Fitzy & Wippa, a disgruntled Aussie woman called in to voice her grievances about bad aeroplane etiquette.

Fiona shared that those who recline their seats full throttle are ‘inconsiderate’.

However, she said that when someone does this, she will immediately turn the air con vent full blast in their direction.

Fiona told the Aussie radio hosts: “When you’re flying economy, and the person in front of you is very inconsiderate and reclines their chair all the way back . . . You know the air-con vents in the top? You can swivel them around.

“I just swivel it right on their face, and turn it up full blast.”

Footage of the interview has gone viral on TikTok, garnering almost one million views.

The clip has sent the comment section into a frenzy.

One person wrote: “Oooh double A/C. PERFECT!.”

Another said: “I hold their chair so they can’t recline and they think that’s all it goes.”

A third person commented: “My new move.”

However, many were to condemn the woman, as one person commented: “Excuse me but who doesn’t recline their chair when they fly I do it as soon as take off, I’m gonna be comfortable, air con no problems lol.”

Another shared: “If both people recline, the distance between them remains exactly the same. besides it only reclines like 2 inches!”

While a third person wrote: “I will never understand how it’s inconsiderate.. the feature is there for a reason. I never care when the person does in front of me.”

Similarly, earlier this year, a woman sparked an online debate after bringing a massive lobster seafood meal with her during a flight.

A man who was seated next to her shared a post to Reddit, revealing that the woman had brought two large trays with her containing prawns, crab legs and some vegetables.

We’re surprised she didn’t have to declare bringing the entire menu of Red Lobster onto the flight.

Many were quick to slam the passenger, as one person wrote: “Imagine if a person around her had a severe seafood allergy.”

While another said: “But my shampoo bottle is a terrorist threat…”
