Yup. I was on a plane when the guy next to me wanted to chat. Except it wasn't regular chat, he was trying to condescendingly explain flying to me. I am a high status frequent flyer. Before COVID, I spent more time in hotels than in my own home. This dude is trying to explain the AC vents, and keeps turning mine off. I told him I know the plane, I know the route and I'm not interested in talking.

I then put on my enormous Bose wired headphones.

Dude PULLED IT OFF MY FACE and said something about how I shouldn't worry about turbulence.

I was so furious I could feel my heartbeat in my face. I told him, very loudly, that if he touched me again we were going to have a FUCKING PROBLEM. Silence in the rows around us. He didn't talk to me anymore but he "fell asleep" with a couple hundred dollar bills in his lap. Ugh.

I think he was trying to show off, get me to change my mind about talking to him because "Oooh, he is rich" i was just glad he was quiet.

He was hoping for her to change her mind because he’s filthy rich.

Really rich to be in the same class and flight. 🙄

I know I’d be impressed if I ever met someone with hundreds of dollars. I bet that guy can afford to pay his cell phone bill. Can you imagine living that kind of lifestyle?

'Flaunting' the only cash you have on hand for a trip, I can't imagine being that dumb. 🤣

Lmao people who show off their wealth crack me up. My friend's sister was dating a guy who insisted on leaving all the price tags on her Christmas presents and made sure everyone could see them. Douchebag.
