Story 6:
I took my seat, pulled out my headphones and everything else I might need. People were still boarding. Next to me sat an elderly couple. The woman, in a bossy tone, told me to put my bag under the seat because “those are the rules for takeoff.” Except the plane was still boarding. I ignored her, since I knew the flight attendant would check before takeoff anyway.
The couple started bouncing in their seats from anger. I slowly stuffed my things into the seat pockets, pretending not to notice them. Then the old man leaned across his wife and started yelling at me to put my bag away. I was stunned, but kept a straight face. When boarding was done, the flight attendant came down the aisle to check. I handed her my bag, she put it in the overhead compartment. I still don’t know what that was all about. © doll_ru_ / Threads
