She was shocked to see that he didn’t do it and he got up and returned to his seat immediately after his boarding group was called.
This caused an argument on board the plane before the woman reached for social media sites. Redditto find out if others were on her side.
She wrote, “My boyfriend (26M), and I (24F), travelled by plane to visit my parents’ house for Thanksgiving. We checked in together, and were assigned different boarding groups: he was in group 1, while I was in group 3.
“This is significant because both groups are considered priority boarders.
“We were both under the impression that boarding group does not matter. We are both seasoned travellers who are very efficient when boarded planes.
“When the plane began boarding, they clearly called group one first and my boy gets up and boards by himself.
“I was annoyed, because groups 1 & 2 are both small, and my group, group 3, usually gets called super fast if combined with group 2.
“After my group gets called (literally less than 5 minutes later) and I get on the plane, I told him he could have waited for my group to get called and we could have boarded together.”
The boyfriend felt that he didn’t do anything wrong and accused the girlfriend of acting out.
She felt that she was entitled to be annoyed at him for what he did.
She said that he told her it wasn’t that big of a deal and that he was just traveling with me, which he hadn’t done before.
“We had a small argument on the plane about it, but nothing major since we were both on a plane.
“He thinks I’m being unreasonable for starting an argument and being upset about him boarding before me but I think it’s justified since he had never done it before.”
Over 3,000 people answered her question, prompting heated debate about who was in right.
Many were supportive of the boyfriend and said that the woman had made a big deal out of very little.
One wrote: “I can see why he boarded before you. He needed a short break.”
Another thought: “Seriously? You have to start a fight over something this petty? You’ve got problems.”
Others supported her and said that her boyfriend should wait for her.
One stated, “I flew with my boyfriend and he had all kinds of perks automatically that I didn’t have. He gave them up so we could be together and go through this process together.”
“Isn’t the point of traveling together to spend time together?”
An additional: “When my partner and I travel in Europe, I always have the option of skipping the Visa check queues and leaving him behind to wait his turn in a longer line. It would never cross my mind to do that.”
When he refused to join his girlfriend in economics, the man caused divisions.
The woman who upgraded the plane ticket of her unregrating boyfriend was not only a good girl, but many people believed she was wrong.
