A woman was forced to give up her seat on the plane after falling for the seat trick. The video went viral on TikTok.
A woman named Shreya became a victim of a couple who used the seat trick to sit together on the plane. The video went viral on TikTok and has over 9 million views.
Shreya was flying from San Francisco to New York when a couple sat in her seat. The woman was sitting in the aisle seat, and the man took the middle seat, Shreya’s seat.
They argued with Shreya, asking if she could sit by the window, but she said she had “a very small bladder” and could suffer from claustrophobia.
“Between a window seat and a middle seat, I still prefer the middle seat because I just need to pass by one person,” she added, suggesting that she could offer her aisle seat to let the couple sit together.
Although the proposal would have been beneficial to everyone, the couple refused to accept it. “Well, I’m going to sit in the seat I paid for,” the woman responded to Shreya.
The boarding line was getting long, so Shreya didn’t have much time to choose, and she eventually sat by the window against her will. She also mentioned that the couple refused to stand up to let her go to the bathroom.
Users came to Shreya’s defense, criticizing couples who don’t buy seats together. “When she said she was going to sit in the seat she paid for, you reply: ‘Ok. So am I!’ And then sit in the middle of them and turn up the music,” one user suggested.
