The woman wasn’t having it though, and refused to move for Arena.
So, the mum said she was happy to sit in the seat on her ticket, and went to the back of the plane to her allocated seat.
“I said ‘okay no problem I’m not going to argue’ and I went to the back of the plane and sat in my assigned seat because she wouldn’t give hers up,” Arena said in the video.
It wasn’t too long before the other woman realised the gravity of her mistake, and that she had just voluntarily chosen to spend a flight next to two young kids without their mum.
Arena continued: “It was so peaceful and finally the stewardess comes up because I know she’s coming because this b**ch is sitting next to my kids and there’s nothing fun about that.”
Her response when the stewardess informed her that the woman would now like to swap seats? “Oh no, no we need to stay in our assigned seats, have a good flight!”
The post has been liked more than 77,000 times and racked up 1.5 million views on TikTok. Whilst some in the comments loved the way Arena dealt with the situation, plenty of others questioned why the mum hadn’t booked seats together for her and her kids in the first place Many argued it was her responsibility to book a seat next to her kids, adding that they wouldn’t have moved for the mum. One commented: “You definitely are responsible for booking your seats together, that is not the other person’s problem.” Another said: “I’m laying my head on my window seat with my noise cancelling headphones – not my problem.” A third wrote: “As a mom of 2 kids, I pay to make sure we sit together. Lack of planning does not excuse this.” And a fourth shared: “BOOK A SEAT WITH THE KIDS IF YOU WANT TO SIT WITH THEM. I PAY FOR MY AISLE.”@cindyarenacomedy #momsoftiktok #kids #airplane #comedy #reaction #boomer #babyboomer #ComicalConversations #Questions #FunnyTalks #comedyvideos ♬ original sound - cindy arena
