Plane Passenger Says Fellow Traveler Stole Her Seat Then Gave Her a ‘Blank’ Stare When Presented with Proof

A plane passenger is calling out the bizarre behavior of her fellow passenger — a stoic seat stealer who refused to move.

The traveler says she was faced with the ordeal when she first boarded her recent flight to find that another woman was already “sitting in my seat,” according to her Reddit post shared in the Solo Female Travel subreddit.

Once she saw the woman, she quickly stepped out of the aisle and into the row in front of her to confront the situation.

“I asked her, ‘Are you sitting in 27D?’” explains the Reddit user. “She’s like, ‘yeah’ and I hold up my boarding pass saying that’s my seat. She looks at me blankly and was like, ‘okay.’

The other woman made no move to relocate, the redditer says, instead just staring at her, expressionless, even after she reiterated that it was her seat.

“At this point I’m getting annoyed and confused — and she continues to look right past me, not moving,” she recalls.
