Real-life extra plane legroom horror story: Passenger scores two vacant seats in her row but then it all goes wrong
By Hugh Morris
There's nothing quite like realising that everyone boarding your flight has sat down and there remains next to you an empty seat. "It really is mine," you whisper to yourself, allowing your person and belongings to spill into the newly acquired space.
Jessie Char experienced just that sensation this week when she was greeted by not one but two vacant seats on her row.
"My two favourite people to sit with on a plane," she tweeted, with a photo of her aircraft empire.
But then things took a turn for the worse.
"You guys will never guess what happened next," she told her 12,000 followers.
The photo that followed depicted one of the bad habits most often exhibited by fliers.
"Today, I flew on the set of a nightmare," she said, her photo diary capturing the two naked offenders.
At this point, it's bad, but at least you didn't pay for those seats.
But then.
"You guys will never guess what happened after that," said Jessie.
"The left foot reached over and opened a window."
Impressive, but not cool.
