Frustrated flyer shocks misbehaved kid by…
Many issues are out of your control when on a flight, particularly when there are irritating children not on their best habits.
But one pissed off flyer took issues into their own arms by firmly, but kindly, placing an end to an annoying teen kicking her seat.
In a viral Threads post, the passenger shared her expertise, writing, “I’m on a flight this kid is kicking the FAWK outta my seat. I calmly turned around looked at his parents and said one of you need to switch seats because I’m not going to tolerate 4 hours of your child kicking my seat and you NOT paying attention and properly parenting. BOOM the shock.”

“The Dad said sorry and moved his child to the middle seat. Well played Pops. And yes, I realize I’m childfree in a childfilled world, but what I’m NOT gonna do is be inconvenienced by a lack of parenting,” the post read.
The post sparked a dialogue about disciplining youngsters in public, particularly on a aircraft.
Some dad and mom chimed in explaining how they deal with their youngins who aren’t cooperating mid-air.
“As a parent, the first person my kid is bothering (let alone, embarrassing) is ME. Just yesterday we were in a restaurant and my toddler started trying to scream. I immediately put my hand over her mouth and gave her the “mom voice” to hush or we’re leaving immediately. having children doesn’t provide the proper to disrespect everybody around you in public areas,” one wrote.
“As a parent of 2 tiny frequent fliers, I appreciate the way you handled the situation. Kids existing in the world does not entitle them to not be parented or mean they can do whatever they want without consequence. The consequence in this case was the child’s seat was changed,” quipped another person.

Others associated to how this flyer dealt with issues.
“I had this experience once, and after I calmly asked the mother to tell her child to stop, I heard her tell him when I turned back around ‘kick it harder.’ The fact that I am not on the no fly list really is a miracle,” another remark read.
“You handled that PERFECTLY. Same happened to me. As I sat, I felt the kicking. Asked the FA to move me as soon as boarding was done. She came back, leaned over seat, said (to THEM): I have to move this passenger because your kid is kicking (!) And they still did nothing to stop the kicking. It was bizarre,” wrote a commenter.
This isn’t the first time a aircraft passenger shut down a younger kid’s antics.
A social media clip with over 16 million views confirmed a aircraft window shade with overlay textual content that read, “POV: the kid in front of me thinks he can close MY window shade,” insinuating the little flyer was messing with her window.
“It’s my window,” the irritated flyer (@vmaymah) wrote in the clip’s caption.
“I LOVE the direct confrontation,” one commenter wrote.
“Why is his hand all the way back there,” chimed in another.
