Two days ago, a mom to a two-year-old toddler turned to the AITA community to ask for advice.

In a post that amassed 1.4k comments, the author One-Criticism5777 explained that she was flying across the country for Thanksgiving with her toddler and disabled husband. The family decided to splurge on 1st class tickets, but a fellow passenger was far from impressed upon seeing them sitting down in the premium aisle.

“We boarded early since my husband is disabled and when another 1st class passenger saw us, he started glaring,” the mom recounted. Shortly after, one flight attendant after another kept coming in to check whether the family was seated correctly.

The passenger kept getting more passive-aggressive, and now One-Criticism5777 wonders whether it was really her fault for booking 1st class tickets to fly with a toddler.

    I use noise canceling headphones or earbuds and a tablet with games, movies, and TV shows. Your child can do anything except kick my chair or spontaneously combust and it's none of my business. The only seats I don't want them in are in the cockpit.

    It would have taken everything in my power not to "accidentally" swing my carry-on bag into his nuts. And God forbid if my husband over heard him call me that, which is probably why he just whispered it to you out of range of your husband. What a douchebag. This seriously pissed me off.

    I would have asked him, "Excuse me. I didn't hear what you said. Please speak up." Then hope he says it again louder so others hear it. Let the other passengers show him who the c**t really, truly is!! Course in my younger years, I never backed down from a horse's behind like that. Invite him to meet me a baggage claim so we could take it outside.
