She Made A Girl Cry After Refusing To Let Her Take Her First Class Seat
She didn’t pay for the seat, but she earned it. It was a reward from her company for hitting her goals, and for once, she was looking forward to just relaxing and enjoying it.
Then came the flight attendant. Then the crying wife. Then the awkward stares. And now she’s somehow the bad guy for not giving up the one thing that felt like a win.
She didn’t ask to be part of their honeymoon plans, and honestly, she’s still trying to figure out why anyone thinks she should have.
This 26-year-old woman just got home after having to fly to the other side of the country for a work conference. Her company got her a seat in first class, and it was meant to be a treat for killing it on her goals for the quarter.
“I got to my seat, got comfortable, ordered a mimosa, all good. Then this flight attendant comes over with this super apologetic look and asks if I’d be willing to switch seats with a woman in coach so she can sit with her new husband, apparently they got bumped and didn’t get seats together,” she explained.
“Here’s the kicker: the husband was in the seat next to me, and the wife was back in row 26. The flight attendant said they’d give me ‘a free drink voucher’ and ‘priority boarding next time’ if I moved.”
“I said no. Politely. But firmly. I explained that I paid (well, technically my company paid) for this seat, and it was really important to me.”
Well, the wife walked right up to her and begged her to switch seats. The wife mentioned she was going on her honeymoon and desperately wanted to sit with her husband.
She responded that it wasn’t exactly her issue to solve, and then she put on her headphones to drown the girl out.

The girl resumed her sobbing, while the husband shot her a glance as if she had done something heinous. The remainder of her plane ride was so awkward it wasn’t funny.
“When I landed, I had texts from a friend (who I’d told the story to) saying I was being cold and ‘could’ve made their day with such a small gesture.’ But like?? I didn’t pay for their wedding. Why is that MY job?”
“[Am I the jerk] for not giving up my first-class seat to a couple with poor planning?”
