‘Rude’ mom calls fellow plane passenger ‘disgusting’ for refusing to give window seat to her crying son: ‘No empathy for children’
She wasn’t going to play mile-high musical chairs.
An entitled mother has been labeled “rude” and “clueless” after demanding that a fellow flyer relinquish her window seat to appease her crying toddler, as seen in a video taking off online.
The seating spat reportedly went down aboard a GOL Airlines domestic flight in Brazil, Jam Press reported.
The unidentified mom had reportedly asked fellow passenger Jeniffer Castro if she could swap seats with her son, who was throwing a fit because he wanted to sit by the window.
This request seemed particularly ludicrous given that the mom’s family already had a window seat, but the tyke insisted on taking Castro’s.
When Castro declined, the irate mother whipped out her phone and filmed the passenger in an apparent attempt to shame her into the sky switcheroo.
“Why doesn’t she want to change seats?” demanded the parent in the clip. “I even asked if she has some kind of syndrome or something. If someone has a problem, some disability, we understand.”
“I’m recording your face, this is disgusting,” added the mom, who declared that people have “no empathy for children” in the 21st century.
All the while, the flyer ignored the wild tirade, only asking if she was being taped.
The mother’s attempt to expose the flyer backfired after online commenters sided with the woman and shamed the parent for her outrageous demand.
“I felt sorry for the girl, she just wanted a peaceful trip,” declared one defender, while another wrote, “Buy and choose the seat and don’t disturb others. No one is obliged to give up their seat.”
“This girl needs to be smart and file a lawsuit against this rude and clueless mother,” advised a third.
Meanwhile, one viewer quipped, “Why didn’t she ask the captain to step down to let her son fly the plane?”
In an even more ridiculous proposition in February, a woman allegedly asked a fellow business class passenger to swap seats with her husband — who was assigned to economy class.
