After a tiring swimming competition in London, James boards an eight-hour flight to New York, hoping to get some sleep. Armed with earplugs and sleeping pills, he’s ready to zone out—until he meets the woman in the aisle seat.From the moment she sits down, it’s clear she’s going to be trouble. Complaining about space, pressing the call button repeatedly, and making snide remarks,
she dubs herself the victim of a “human rights violation.” Her constant elbowing and loud rants make the flight unbearable for James and the quiet woman in the window seat.Flight attendants try to calm her, but nothing works. She even demands that James and the other woman be moved so she can have more space.
