During a flight back home, Crystal and her spouse, Alton, were troubled by a fellow traveler who persistently nudged Alton’s seat. After repeated requests for her to cease, Crystal opted to handle the situation herself.
“I was on a plane with my husband last evening. We were en route home after a week-long visit to his parents. I was eager to return to our own bed.
“I’ve been longing for our shower,” Alton mentioned. “Mom and dad’s house is fine, but nothing compares to our water pressure.”
Once we boarded, it seemed the flight would go smoothly.
I reached through the armrest and drenched her feet with the drink.
“Ew!” the woman cried out, retracting her feet swiftly, nearly hitting her friend.
She grabbed my sleeve, glaring.
“Did you just spill your drink on me?” she accused.
Facing her, I feigned innocence.
“Oh, I’m terribly sorry. Must have been turbulence,” I explained.
She seemed to consider arguing but opted against it.
Instead, she muttered to her friend about my rudeness, labeling me ‘trashy’ for spilling on her.
“She should have simply asked politely,” her friend naively commented.
