On a flight from New York to L.A., a woman stepped away to use the restroom—only to return and find the man next to her finishing her in-flight meal. He’d already eaten his own and shrugged off her frustration, saying she “took too long” and he “didn’t want it to go to waste.”
The flight attendant had no extra meals—just a bag of pretzels. Meanwhile, the man leaned back, full and smug, and fell asleep.
Later, an urgent gate change for connecting flights was announced. The woman debated waking him… but didn’t.
In San Diego, a colleague mentioned seeing a confused man arguing at LAX after missing his connection. Her description matched him exactly.
The woman may have missed her dinner, but karma didn’t miss a beat—serving justice at 30,000 feet.
