I [22F] recently started traveling for work. Prior to this, I never really flew as my family always preferred road trips. Today was the first time, I’ve ever had a negative encounters during a flight. It’s important to note that I had an aisle seat for this and flew Delta that gives you the option to select your seat.
Once I boarded, I sat in my seat loaded my bags up and got settled in, and plugged in my headphones and was scrolling through the movie options. I decided to watch ‘Uncharted’ with Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. I’ve never seen it and figured why not since I’m just sitting here for 2 hours.
I started playing the movie and the flight took off and maybe 10 minutes into it, I get tapped on my shoulder by a woman who is in the aisle behind me and in the aisle seat across from me. I ask her if everything is okay and she tells me to turn my movie off. Confused, I asked her why. She said it was because she has not seen the movie and didn’t want to see my screen and see any spoilers. I told her that she could watch it on her screen and she said no because she wanted to watch a different movie. I responded that I was going to keep watching my movie. She huffed and she started to complain, but I just ignored her.
As I continued watching the movie, she would get up to use the restroom on the plane and “accidentally” bump into me every time. This happened probably 8 or 10 times on this 2 hour flight. I did my best to ignore her and finally we landed. Once we landed, she immediately jumped from her seat and grabbed her bags and blocked the aisle for all those behind her. The seats were towards the back of the plane so I just stayed seated as did my everyone else in my aisle and the aisle across from us.
By the time it go to our aisle, I stood up and the began to grab my bag from the overhead bin. At the same time I did this, the lady from earlier tried to start walking and then started yelling at me for cutting her off and I should let her go. By this time I was tired and ready to get off the plane and said “ma’am if you were in such a rush to get off, then you should have a picked a seat closer to the front or gotten and upgraded seat”. She rolled her eyes and called me a “stuck up bi**h” and kept going on and on about how people are so disrespectful these days.
So maybe I’m missing out on some flight etiquette, but Am I Wrong in the situation?
