“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.
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.
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?
