A recent plane passenger said he “rudeand “inconsiderate” by a complete stranger for eating his meal mid-flight before the rest of the order was served.

One Reddit user described his travel predicament: r/EntiledPeople Forum on Thursday, October 30.

“On long flights, I order a special meal online because I am a vegetarian,” the original poster (OP) wrote. “On most flights, the flight attendant brings the special meals first and starts regular meal service for the rest.”

As the poster expected, these flight attendants started by handing out special meals to passengers who requested them. But to their surprise, they say a complete stranger objected to their decision to start eating.

“A complete stranger sat next to me and told me I was being rude and inconsiderate because I started eating my vegetarian meal before they arrived,” the poster read. “They said it was [a] The rule of thumb was to wait until everyone in line had their food, and I ruined their flight.”

“Their faces were red and [they] “They rolled their eyes a few times,” they continued. “I looked at them.”

In the comments, users largely agreed that this was an odd scenario.

“This is hilarious,” one reader wrote. “Do they get upset when others are served first in restaurants? Do they stand up in the middle of the restaurant and shout, ‘Please put down your forks until my food comes?’ ”

The person added: “I would tell them any questions could be directed to the flight crew.”

Another broke down the polite gesture: “This is an example of courtesy when sharing a meal with someone. You’re not eating with your seatmate, you’re just sitting next to them.”

Another asked humorously: “Did you go to the toilet at the same time as them?”
