[Discussion] Stop the wedding!

If your fiance (blonde, tan, long blonde hair) was traveling home to the DMV area from Arizona from her bachelorette on United 1017 into Dulles (seat 28a), she spent the entire 4 hour flight talking and flirting with the man next to her. They were deep into conversation from work, to relationships, to goals and dreams. It was extremely intimate. They did not come up from air. They exchanged numbers and plan to see each other maybe this week. She did not speak fondly of you. I feel so sorry for the groom and soon to be husband. What a horrible thing to experience. Plus, what horrible plane etiquette! A disrespectful girl all around.

I'm wondering if OP is just bored. Maybe they've never even been on a plane and they're stirring up drama to feel a little something in life.

Whoever was in 28A on that flight might be catching stray bullets.

PS

Hold up. Tonight's United 1017 was delayed and OP posted the minute it touched down ...that would be serious dedication to a half-assed joke. Maybe, OP, maybe.

What’s he supposed to do? He’s going to cancel his wedding based on a reddit post from a random person? How does that conversation go? “Mom, I was on Reddit while taking a dump and came across a post from ParkPuzzleheaded3355 who said my fiancé was flirting with another man so I’m calling off the wedding.”

For all we know OP could have gotten into some argument with the bride and is just trying to stir shit. Personally I think this is probably real, but the guy needs more proof than this to cancel a wedding.

To all the people saying they’re here for the drama.. 

..What if OP is ACTUALLY the guy she was talking to? Maybe he kept trying to flirt but she repeatedly shut it down by bringing up her fiancé.. but that’s just left him convinced she is his soul mate and they’d be together if it just weren’t for that stupid fiancé she kept mentioning! 

So he crafted a plan to use this Reddit post to trick her fiancé into calling it off so he can pick her up on the rebound? 

The crafty unscrupulous bastard..

•

u/multiinstrumentalism NE DC 3h ago

I like this theory a lot. If she’s flying back on a United flight (Boeing 737-900) in seat B, she might also be harboring some resentment towards her friend group/fiancée for booking a middle seat on a direct from Arizona to DC. Either way, she gets stuck next to a guy who has money (he pops for an aisle / window, after all, albeit behind the wing). It’s basically Zedd’s The Middle but in real life

Eavesdropping means espionage like hanging from or hiding under the eaves, not being in the same room as people who are making noise.

•

u/ContemplatingFolly 1h ago

There is absolutely no expectation of privacy on a plane, and everyone is packed in like sardines, so eavesdropping on a plane isn't a thing.

And yes, etiquette demands that no one should be subjected to a bunch of get-a-room-already flirting for an hour and a half.

•

u/Recent_Performer4189 2h ago

So if your partner cheats you don’t want to know? You don’t exchange phone numbers with a rando you meet on a plane to share recipes.

u/peopleofcostco 2h ago

Not being publicly shamed like this and not from someone who might not know or understand context (like maybe they are making a business connection or establishing a friendship. Maybe it’s a polyamorous relationship. Maybe the guy is the finance and they’re role playing. Who knows?). It is not the seatmate’s business to broadcast a stranger’s dirty laundry.
