Entitled Mom Demands Airplane Passenger Stop Watching His Movie And Entertain Her 7-Year-Old Instead
Glad she wasn't sitting next to me because I would have shown her the door.
Airplane etiquette can get messy fast, especially when one passenger decides everyone else is part of the childcare plan.
In this story, Reddit user WitchesCoven99 found herself seated next to a mom and her 7-year-old son on a flight to London. When the boy got bored, the mother expected a stranger to stop watching a movie and entertain him instead, which turned a quiet trip into a very awkward standoff.
WitchesCoven99 did not expect her seatmate to make that kind of request, and the rest of the flight only got more uncomfortable from there. Read on.
This is how it all began...
WitchesCoven99 Venom is not for kids. Wait, I didn't say that.
WitchesCoven99 It's a cool movie, and it's not OP's fault that the entitled mom's son was watching it.
WitchesCoven99
You're not going to like this, I promise you.
WitchesCoven99
Is it OP's fault you're sitting next to a normal human being? Nope.
WitchesCoven99
I'd be shocked too. Mind your business, mom.
WitchesCoven99
Exactly. That's YOUR problem, entitled mom.
WitchesCoven99
Oh boy. This sucks.
WitchesCoven99
OMG.
WitchesCoven99
Booyah.
WitchesCoven99
Dang. The nerve.
WitchesCoven99
Wow, what a horrible flight.

Redditors respond to WitchesCoven99's story.
This is the most horrible flight ever, I suppose, and it would take WitchesCoven99 a considerable amount of time to move past the trauma of meeting an entitled person.
As soon as she posted her story on Reddit, people from all over the world expressed horror and shock at how she was treated on the flight. With over 400 comments, the post was upvoted over 15,000 times.

This commenter says the mom made her own problem.
Even I could feel the heat, and I wasn't even there at that time.
WitchesCoven99
Exactly. EM just chose to let others handle her kid.
WitchesCoven99
Lucky you.
WitchesCoven99
A few people thought the response should have been even sharper.
Sometimes you just have to say it to get your worth across.
WitchesCoven99
No one. I wonder how EM would have reacted if the same happened to her.
WitchesCoven99
Yeah, true that. But in the heat of the moment, it's difficult to remain that calm.
WitchesCoven99
More commenters pointed out that the mom was asking a stranger to do the parenting for her.
Well, how about doing some due diligence? SMH.
WitchesCoven99
Yes, good for you, OP.
WitchesCoven99
Horrible, isn't it? This entitled mom had it coming, though. How can you expect a complete stranger to entertain your kid while you stretch your legs a little?
It's wrong, and we're glad OP stood her ground. Sometimes you need to speak the same language an entitled person understands to get your point across.
How would you have reacted if this happened to you? Can't wait to know how you would have reacted!
You'll be doing me a solid by sharing my articles with your fam, y'all.
