She wrote: “When my dad and I were on a flight back home from India. Behind us there was a family of three, with their son behind me, and the mum behind my dad,” experiences the Mirror UK.
Describing the situations she mentioned: “It was a nighttime flight and everyone was beat. It was also a small, budget airline with not much legroom.”
She detailed the ordeal: “About 10 minutes into the flight, the kid behind me started kicking my seat. To be clear, he wasn’t very little, maybe nine or 10.”
After informing her dad, he requested the boy to stop, which he did briefly. The disturbance continued regardless of repeated requests.
As a countermeasure, her dad reclined his seat all the best way back, limiting the space for the kid behind. She concluded: “When they ask him to put it up he doesn’t. They call the flight attendant and the jerk’s dad talks to him.”
The flight attendant backed up the daddy, noticing the boy’s disruptive conduct and affirmed his proper to recline his seat.
She mentioned: “He walks away with the dad left spluttering and cursing under his breath. Fun times!”
The daughter added, “The parents realized what happened and after a few harsh whispers, got the kid to stop kicking. But that didn’t stop them from glaring at both me, my dad, and the flight attendant who walked by.”

She went on to say: “My dad did keep the seat down for another hour, but got up once he was sure those parents learned their lesson.”
One commenter praised the daddy’s actions, saying: “Your dad gets an A+ in petty revenge. Some people can’t be reached unless they are directly impacted. As long as the kid was kicking someone else’s seat, they couldn’t be bothered. People like these and the little sociopath they are raising should be dropped off on their own deserted island.”
Another individual recommended playfully: “He should have waited till they had drinks (hopefully cold) then reclined rapidly – oops sorry!”
And a third lauded: “Well done. Made them make the kid stop kicking, and got the added benefit of making them seem crazy. Two thumbs, way up.”
