I\u2019m Toby, 35, and I had just boarded a premium economy seat, eager to return to my wife and child. In came Dave\u2014smiling, entitled\u2014and asked me to trade seats with his wife sitting in economy. I politely declined unless he covered the difference\u2014about $1,000. His grin faded. \u201cYou\u2019ll regret this,\u201d he hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That kicked off a 30,000-foot battle. Dave coughed theatrically, played movies loud without headphones, and showered me in pretzel crumbs. His wife, Lia, plopped into his lap mid-flight, whispering sweet nothings and giggling like they were in their honeymoon suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d had enough. I flagged the flight attendant and laid it all out: noise, mess, and lap dances. The couple was swiftly relocated to economy. Passengers applauded, and I earned a free whiskey. Later, as turbulence hit, Dave spilled his drink, and Lia tried sneaking up front, pleading \u201cemergency.\u201d I stood, blocking them: \u201cBack of the plane, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stewardess returned, grinning. Karma had flown first class that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=62663\">also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever had nightmare seatmates?
