A pilot has been hailed a "hero" after he trolled an "entitled" woman who couldn't wait to get off a plane.
Other passengers watched on in shock as she jumped out of her seat and sprinted down the aisle to be the first passenger to disembark the aircraft - ignoring seatbelt signs and flight attendants' requests to return to her seat.
Taking to Reddit, one passenger said: "The woman in the back unbuckled and darted to the front of the plane to get off first. She did not make any eye contact and felt that she was special.

"The woman stood there awkwardly until we did the whole rolling into the gate thing, and whatever planes do when they land, for about 15 to 20 minutes. Everyone sat there waiting to see what the captain was talking about.
"Eventually the captain came out and asked the lady to please move back a little to get to his special guest, then a little more, then a little more.
"He was looking from row to row trying to find a specific person. Everyone is watching and looking around to see who it could be."
The pilot continued ushering her back one row at a time until she reached the back of the plane, Mirror UK reports.
The passenger continued: "Finally as they approached the rear of the plane he asked her to sit for a second while he grabbed the intercom at the rear of the plane.
"[He said] 'Ladies and gentleman, I'd like to announce our special guest sitting in seat 42C. Lets giver her a round of applause'.
"The whole plane went wild with laughter and applause. I loved every moment of that."
Commenting on the pilot's power move, one user responded: "That pilot is a hero to the people."
Another user said: "I was hoping that the special guest was a federal marshal coming onboard to arrest the woman for refusing to follow safety-related commands given by members of the flight crew."
However, a third argued: "Sometimes when a plane is late getting in there are people that have a connecting flight that will be very tight to make. They need to get off the plane quickly to have any chance at their connection.
"The best way to handle that is to inform the stewardess and they can make a general announcement. Of course, sometimes people ignore that announcement and block the aisle for those people anyway."
