Teen Upgrades His Vacation Flight Seat To Avoid Seating With Stepfather's Family, Faces Ban From Upgrading While Returning
On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, a teenager, under the username u/Usual-File-5938, recently shared a story about his terrible flight experience with his family.
In the post, the boy (OP) shared that last year his family was on vacation. He brought lots of stuff to play on the flight, while his stepfather's kids didn't bring anything, so his mom made him share his stuff with them. This made him feel bored during the trip.
Worried that the same thing would happen this year, the OP asked his dad to help him upgrade his seat to a comfy one. But when they landed, trouble brewed. The stepfather got upset, thinking the OP was rude for not sitting with the family.
Now, the family is caught in a debate over who gets a say in these decisions. Read on to find out how this family drama unfolds!
