Rude Mother Refuses To Make Her Son Stop Kicking A Man’s Seat, Until He Does THIS.

One year during the time that I was studying in another city, I was flying home for the break by myself. It was a domestic flight on a small aircraft (an a320 I think), and I followed a mother and her whining two kids down the aisle, hoping that they were at the opposite end of the plane than me. My worst fears were confirmed when they entered the row behind my allocated aisle seat. There was a boy, 10ish, sitting directly behind me, the mother next to him in the middle, and a well behaved, complacent little girl next to her who turned out never to be a problem. I can't say the same for her brother. As we climbed out of the clouds I busted out the laptop to start watching a movie. I had headphones and was getting into it when... I noticed a nudge in the back of my seat. Hoping it was a one-off, the nudge happened again, and again, and I realized the kid behind me was kicking my seat. This was no "pushing with the foot", this was fully fledged kicking that was not stopping. I turned around to see if the mother was doing anything about it, and she just ignored it reading her magazine. After ten minutes of feeling every kick I turned to the mother and said "excuse me, would you mind asking your son to stop kicking my seat?" She then forcefully pushed his knees down so that his feet were on the ground, and didn't say a word to me (rude). Five minutes later it started again, only harder this time. This kid was spitefully and intentionally pissing me off, and the mother clearly didn't care. So when the air hostess came to offer drinks, I had an idea of how to teach the kid a valuable life lesson.

After I asked for a coffee, I heard the kid asking for a cup of water. This would work perfectly. I felt the kicking stop when he had received his water, and I heard him extend his tray to put it down. I couldn't be sure that his cup was on the tray but I figured I'd go with the plan anyway. I pressed the recline release button on the arm rest of my seat, and violently shoved myself backward with force. The full cup was indeed on the tray, and flew backward, covering his lap in water. He said "aahhhhhhh!!!" and then started complaining to his mum that the "man in front of me" did it on purpose. She was annoyed, and obviously hadn't realized I'd done it on purpose and said "EXCUSE ME, you have spilled water all over my son!" I replied "Well next time you take your kids on a plane, maybe you could ensure that they're not annoying other passengers by kicking their seats when it makes the difference". The guy next to me laughs and fist-bumps me, the mother shuts up and the kicking stops and I watch my movie. aiplane_f437007c0dd5d565ab1bb2b2b31988aa
