Plane seat rows can really divide opinion, and one man sparked fury after he refused to give up his seat so a man could sit next to his wife on her birthday, giving no reason why he declined.
Jay Kloss, who posts on TikTok as @jaykloss_, said he had a 'serious rant' to share with his followers after ending up in a heated discussion with a bloke who refused to move so he could sit next to his wife.
He captioned the video: "Am I in the wrong?!", and at the start of the video, he casually explained that he 'wanted to slap' the man that he came across during the flight.
He explained that his wife Zoe was sitting in the far left seat and he was sitting in the opposite row in the aisle seat.
Jay assumed that he and Zoe could move to sit next to each other, as the person in the seat between them would get the same seat - just on the opposite side. But he was very wrong.
Jay asked the man in between the pair whether he'd move as it was his 'Mrs' birthday', and the man just stared at him without responding. Jay then tried to explain that the seat was practically the same, and he 'just didn't respond'.
He then eventually said: "No, I won't", leaving Jay and Zoe stunned.
The man then said that he'd take Zoe's window seat so they'd both be sat in the aisle seat, but closer together - but they weren't happy with that, and Jay said he wouldn't swap 'for no reason'. If he'd agreed, he would've been in the same seat, just on the opposite side of the plane.
Determined to get his way, Jay said: "Bro, are you sure you can't just swap seats with us?", and he was ignored yet again, so they begrudgingly sat in their assigned seats.
Zoe then proceeded to ask the man whether there was a reason he wouldn't swap, and he said: "No, no reason, just not moving."
Jay said: "What the f***! Am I missing something? Can somebody explain to me what the hell is going on here? It's the same seat, just on a different side of the aisle. Please tell me what the hell is going on here?
"Surely I'm not in the wrong? Like somebody, please tell me."
Eventually, the man who was sitting in the window next to Jay switched with Zoe and calmed the situation down, but Jay was still furious with the man who wouldn't move.
He also admitted that when they got off the plane he had words with him before asking followers whether he was in the wrong or the right.
In the comments, the feelings were mixed, with many people saying they should've just booked the seats they wanted initially.
One wrote: "As a flight attendant, you need to sit in your allocated seats, it's for identification purposes in case of an emergency."
Another fumed: "Why not just book the correct seats, problem solved, if not on that plane find another."
"People don't have to say yes all the time it's ok to say no", someone agreed.
A TikToker said: "I mean it’s basically the same seat… But also, if you couldn't book business seats together unlucky, book economy together or deal with it."
"You should've swapped with her and sat next to him", somebody commented, followed by a crying with laughter face.
Who do you think was in the wrong here? Let us know in the comments.
