“Your b**t is in his face!”: How a routine deplaning turned hostile

Air travel often tests patience, but one passenger’s post-Thanksgiving flight became unforgettable when two toddlers crawled into the aisle during landing prep. Redditor u/logic-bomb1989 described the scene: “I was in an aisle seat, so I stood up to get my bag from above, as did the gentleman across from me and those in front of me.”

As the plane descended, chaos erupted. A toddler shoved his sister and screamed, “Let me go! I hate you, Dad!” while his mother scolded, “We don’t talk to daddy that way.” Passengers retreated to seats—except the original poster, who stood firm while retrieving their bag.

“The mom asked me, ‘Can you please move your body out of his way?’… When she tapped my shoulder, I realized she meant *me*.”

Defiance in the aisle: “I need to get my bag”

The traveler, trapped in a crowded aisle, replied, “I’m sorry! I need to get my bag.” The mother snapped back: “Well, your b**T is in his face!” Refusing to yield, the passenger later asked Reddit, “Was I wrong?”

The community overwhelmingly said no.


“Parents with poorly behaving kids wait to deplane… You get special boarding, so you wait to get off.”

Others agreed, like u/norazzmatazz564: “NTA. The parents created the problem. Doing what she asked would encourage entitlement.”

The internet weighs in: Accountability or empathy?

While most sided with the passenger, the post highlighted broader tensions. u/ireland1169 joked, “Pity you couldn’t fart on demand—that would’ve cleared the area.” Yet the core debate remains: Should parents manage their kids’ disruptions, or do travelers need more patience?

Entitled woman steals a man’s seat on a plane so he tricks her in the best way

Air travel is stressful enough without entitled passengers making it worse. Whether it's armrest hoggers or seat recliners, there's always someone who makes the journey unpleasant. But one airline passenger took things to another level—flat-out refusing to move from a seat she didn't pay for.

Reddit user u/compile_commit shared the wild story, which involved his cousin flying from Ahmedabad to Kolkata on Indigo Airlines. He had specifically booked an exit row aisle seat and even paid extra for it. However, when he boarded, he found a woman already sitting there, completely unwilling to move.

Brinlee Miles wasn’t about to leave anything to chance. The 20-year-old from Utah knew her husband, Ryan Miles, needed a thorough checkup at the dermatologist, especially given his family history with skin cancer. Concerned about a few moles on his back and chest, she took matters into her own hands—literally—by grabbing a pen and circling the spots she thought needed attention.

To her surprise, the dermatologist not only acknowledged her efforts but responded in kind, marking the moles with notes after examining them.

This 12-year-old wrote himself a message in his empty yearbook—then everything changed

For many kids, signing yearbooks is a highlight of the school year—a way to celebrate friendships and memories. But for 12-year-old Brody Ridder, it was a painful reminder of how isolated he felt. When the sixth grader at the Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, Colorado, came home with only a few signatures—one of which was his own—his mother, Cassandra Ridder, was heartbroken.

"Hope you make some more friends. — Brody Ridder," the boy had written in his own yearbook. Apart from his note, only two classmates and two teachers had signed.

Her daughter's diagnosis keeps her frozen in time–so she renovated her room for a grown-up feel

Moving into your first apartment is a huge milestone that marks independence and freedom. But for TikToker LissaJade's (Lissa.jade1) 18-year-old daughter, Leah, it's something she will never get to fully experience due to an extremely rare medical condition called CHD2–described as a genetic condition that causes seizures, abnormal brain function and intellectual disabilities–as well as Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (a rare form of epilepsy).

To create a special place for Leah to spread her wings, LissaJade designed a brand new entrance for the door to Leah's room that mirrors her very own apartment–complete with a mailbox, wreath, doormat and the number "206." Besides the thoughtful additions, LissaJade also re-painted Leah's door a rich cerulean blue and installed a doorbell.
