Flight passenger says 'bold seat thief' refused to budge after rightful seat owner approached her

One passenger is calling out a seat squatter as a flight out of Houston sparked a discussion on social media.

In the "r/unitedairlines" forum on Reddit, a user titled a post, "First bold seat thief."

"I have had my first interaction with a seat stealer," the post reads.

"She gathers up her three personal items and moves back 4 row to the A exit row across from me. After about 30 secs she turns to me and asks if I think she can stay there," the user wrote.

The user said the woman was successful in taking the seat and the man ended up swapping, taking the woman's assigned seat.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Reddit poster for comment.

"It always blows my mind that anyone accommodates these people," another person wrote.

"Had this happen to me before," said another commenter. "I would just love to sit next to my husband. Quickly balked at the idea of her moving to coach. Some love is not as strong as we think."

"I actually love when people try to steal my seat now. It's fun to put them in their place and inflict some shame," a user said.

"The gall some people have to flat-out steal what belongs to others and pretend as though they haven't," wrote another.

"Seat poachers get no quarter. I don't care what their situation is," the user added.

"There has to be some way to report these people," another user commented.

"Have a compelling reason that will resonate with the person you're asking and have something decent to offer in return," he said, "so it isn't as much of a hardship for the person to give you what you want."
