Entitled Coupl.
1. Claiming What’s Rightfully Yours
Carly, 32, lives in a body that draws unsolicited judgment.
“I’m obese — not the ‘cute nickname’ kind — the kind people openly judge.”
To feel safe and respected when flying, she always buys two seats.
2. Confrontation in the Air
On a recent trip, a couple sat in her extra seat.
When Carly spoke up, they mocked her: “You’re being a fat jerk.”
She stayed calm, asserting her right to the space she purchased.
3. Standing Firm
Once airborne, Carly made sure to occupy her seat fully.
When the man complained, the flight attendant confirmed,
“the seat was mine.”
The couple’s behavior was reported as harassment.
4. Recognition and Reflection
Carly received 10,000 bonus miles, and the couple was flagged.
“I don’t owe anyone smallness. I deserve space,”
she reflects, ready to protect her boundaries and remind others that respect isn’t optional.
