to ask someone to move their child out of my plane seat

[kipperssippers]

more of a WWYD then AIBU but...
i booked the seat by the window as i always do and when i got to my seat a child around 8 was in my seat with her mum beside her.
When i got there i told the mother that the window seat is my seat and she said her child wanted the window seat to look out, i then replied then you should of booked one.
I didnt want to cause a scene but the women made out i'm an arsehole for asking her kid to move as she had never been on a flight and wanted to look outside.
I did give in and stayed pissed off for 7 hours in my non window seat.

what would you of done in this situation?

Best post of the night sugar

Do sugar. Two nights in a row eh!?

God yes Moln I'm shattered

Mind you, I even ask him to shift his arse is he'd sat in a seat I'd book for a specific reason

Er everyone I know does stuff like that cats why do you think it's just you.

And we are English.

Loved your posts though thanks a lot. a child's joy has sustained me through this evening.

Well if Cats is going to hog the thread, either Aidan has to saunter through in a towel or I have to start singing again.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
I book seats on the plane
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
I wish all did the same
I get an angry feeling inside of me
When people want to "swap"
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
I'm siding with the "OP"

Apologies to those who are mystified by this.

If you're lost
You can look and you will find me
Blocking the aisle
If you fall over my unfolded buggy because they don't fold outside the M25
I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Balancing child and friend, bags, briefcase

Sorry OP, it's just so soon after yesterday

Is this Aidan Turner by any chance?

But to where Moln?

Cross posted...are there no short hair pics? okay, okay, I'll google for them myself....

Fuck me Sugar that's nice.

I have a yorkie puppy on my bed. Cute but not in that way.

True Moln He'd have to shift if I wanted the window seat be it on a train or a plane or even a feckin cruise liner

I'd share a seat with him tho!

Aidan on de' plane...

Who's shifting him?

Excellent - the return of Lorelei, our resident bard! Now this thread's looking up!

He could have the seat next to me. I'd also pat his thigh occasional so he would realise I'm not angry with him. I'm not that cold hearted.

C'mon...

Me I'd pay mega euros to shift that bod my way

O Christ on a Cracker!

But sorry, that does look like my seat - shift (or we could share?)

Is he on a Ryan Air plane?

Why does he have a top on in this latest pictures?

I wouldn't shift him I would sit on his lap.

As for the spoilt kid I would eject it from my seat as clearly mum can't parent properly so would see it as my duty to do the job for her in fairness to the kid.

I would be applying to be beatified as a saint for that.

Isn't there a bit of aviation law or something that says yoou're not supposed to swap seats? Something to do with them using your seat as an ID point if there's an accident/incident so the crew would have sided with you I think, though I might be wrong.

Ah, Poldark! Personally, I've always found air travel (in whatever seat) grossly overrated - give me a coach and horses galloping over the Cornish moors any day!

Aidan and I were on a plane
When a pushy woman became a pain
Ade said oi missus control your child
Cos me and sugar wanna go wild

Later we joined the mile high club

Sugar

Fantasy/reality
Near/far far away

Focus on what's real or you will be calling a whole nation cold next. 56 million people cold bastards.
