Teen Kicked off Plane Over Comments About Passenger Slammed As 'Fatphobic'
AReddit user has shared their nightmare experience ahead of a 12-hour flight, which led to them being kicked off a plane before it could even take off.
The 18-year-old Redditor was enraged to see "an obese man" in the seat next to his, who he felt was taking up some of his space. This led to an uncomfortable scene as he demanded another seat.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported 2,456 unruly passengers in 2022, 831 of whom were officially investigated. More than $8.4 million was collated in fines handed out by the FAA.
Unhappy about being squeezed next to the overweight man, user u/L4l0_Salamanca spoke to a flight attendant to request another seat. However, he was told that "the flight was full" and moving was not an option.
"I asked the flight attendant how it's possible that my seat still rendered as available if it was being used for someone's literal rolls," the post reads.
The teen then told the flight attendant he believed the airline had gone "downhill" of late.
"These comments prompted the flight attendant to call me rude and just made her double down on me getting kicked off the plane, though she reassured me I'd be compensated for this trouble as I told her I wasn't traveling for vacation.
"The fat man took his opportunity to call me a fatphobic s***. Some other people around gave me the stink eye."

Ridiculous, he should have been upgraded to compensate for being squeezed in next to a lardo.
