| 0:00.0 | And entitled Karen demands that I give up my seat in first class, all because she forgot to buy |
| 0:05.0 | her toddler a ticket on the plane. But when I refused, this lady made such a scene on the airplane |
| 0:10.2 | that it nearly got her kicked out and banned from the airline. And I'm honestly still blown |
| 0:14.7 | away by the way she treated me, as well as her sense of entitlement over the situation. |
| 0:19.2 | Here's what happened. Okay, so this was a couple of |
| 0:21.5 | years ago, but I just can't get it out of my head. So I thought I'd share it online for all of you to hear. |
| 0:26.4 | My family lived across the country back then, so I would usually buy a flight to get there. Well, |
| 0:31.2 | this was during the holidays, so everything was backed up and there was a lot of storms. So when I got to my first layover, my flight was |
| 0:38.6 | canceled and they couldn't get it in their system to get me a hotel. So I slept on the airport |

| 1:05.0 | and points at the empty seat next to me and mine. She then tells me that a mother forgot to book |
| 1:10.1 | her toddler a ticket, and she was |
| 1:11.8 | wondering if they could take my seat and the empty seat next to me. I told her that I'm really |
| 1:16.5 | sorry, but I've had a really long day, and I paid extra for this seat, and I honestly would |
| 1:21.2 | like to stay. Now, the flight attendant to their credit was very nice to me, and said no problem. |
| 1:26.4 | But unfortunately, she let the woman come sit |
| 1:28.7 | in the empty seat next to me with her toddler in her lap. This woman then immediately looks at me with a |
| 1:34.2 | scowl and says to me, I can't believe you wouldn't trade your seat for a kid. I look at her and I |
| 1:39.0 | simply tell her, ma'am, I paid extra for this seat. You should have booked a ticket for him and that's |
