Woman breaks airplane seat in front of her
So I'm on my 2nd flight of the day, midnight to 6:30 am, and I am pregnant, tired, sore ,dehydrated, and already thrown off from an issue with check in with my previous flight. I board my Avianca flight and get to my seat: 21a. A middle aged man is in my seat, and his wife(?) is in 21b. I am just so tired and I don't wanna argue, so I take 21c (aisle) and they give me dirty looks, as if they're miffed they don't have the row to themselves. I just want to be away from these people, so I ask about upgrading to an exit row, but I cannot because I am pregnant.
After we hit cruising altitude, the woman points out that there are 2 seats open in the row ahead, 20. She suggests that I move to row now. Now annoyed, I said ''the announcement clearly said that we need to sit in our assigned seats for the duration of the flight.'' She scoffs and says again that I could move to row 20.
Then, I saw something that I have never seen before. This woman takes her shoes off and puts her bare feet INTO the black mesh magazine holder in the seat in front of her. She pushes it down with her feet until its parallel to the floor, perpendicular to the seat in front of her, with her knees now up close to her chest. After a few minutes it broke. She and her husband seem surprised.
I decided to flee. I do indeed now move to row 20, because I am genuinely concerned that these people are unhinged. The lady folds down what was once my tray table in 21c to place her stuff on, and stretches out over the now 2 seats to sleep.
I waited until they were off the plane to talk to a flight attendant about what happened, because I was genuinely concerned that this lady would lose her shit on me.
