'Teenager made my nine-hour flight hell – I got sweet revenge when we landed'

A man has shared how he took 'very British revenge' on an 'entitled' teenager who he claims was kicking him throughout their nine-hour flight from the UK to America

A man has shared how he spent nine hours plotting his revenge on an 'entitled' teenager who kept kicking his seat throughout their flight - and says it went off without a hitch. The passenger, who was flying from the UK to America, explained how he was seated next to a mum and her teenage daughter, who he estimated to be around 18-years-old.

He assumed they'd keep themselves to themselves throughout the nine-hour flight - but much to his disappointment, he was wrong. He said on Reddit: "The whole flight the daughter had her shoes off and kept elbowing and kicking me with her stinky sock feet while talking loudly. At one point I was asleep and the daughter kicked me awake and slapped me with her jacket."

"Right before landing the two of them were physically fighting, play or not, I got hit a few times and told them to be civilised." Wanting to teach them a lesson, he decided to stop them in their tracks when they tried to disembark.

Let your teenager kick me for a 9 hour flight, get stuck on the plane extra long.

He added: "As soon as the fasten seat belt sign came off, they got up and obviously were trying to force their way off the plane early (we were in 37G-J, very back of the plane). I threw down my table and kept watching my programme, trapping them, and told them 'Patience is a virtue, we'll be last off anyway.' They were not pleased."

He cunningly waited until the last possible moment to take his bag down from the overhead locker and then strategically placed it on his seat to obstruct their path once more. He divulged: "I 'accidentally' hit the daughter with my jacket on the way out of the overhead keeping her back. There was a very large family behind us that made their way behind me in the aisle blocking them in again. I didn't see them at baggage until five minutes after I made it."

People online heaped praise on his crafty retaliation, with one saying: "Petty revenge is best served with patience." Someone else chimed in, remarking: "People like this make me wish I could downvote them in real life." Another person commented: "Small inconveniences, bravo." And yet another admirer stated: "Very British revenge. Full marks!"
