I don’t know if he’s American but many people have the POV like the American mindset. Everything is a capitalistic competition. So - particularly if somebody gets something free - they are “cheating” somehow. And - of course - the angry person is even angrier if the people involved are an other so there’s misogyny, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, etc.
It gets weirder the richer the angry person is. Even billionaires get mad this way and they’re winning capitalism by a score of 100,000s of times more than the average person but it’s not enough. Nothing is ever enough.
plane tickets are a gamble. you pay for seat upgrades to guarantee you get them on a full flight. i, an adversarial asshole, never pay for anything more than a random spot at booking. 95% of the time, it does not work out in my favor. i get the shittiest seat. but i save that $20-40 and i can use it for something else that i might actually enjoy for a while.
every once in a while, i get a good one. and it feel’s almost as good as watching this loser whine about getting outplayed.
this reminds me of some right wing talking points about work being tied to dignity and honor and how people that don’t have it don’t deserve nice things (or any things), like ‘the good life’ is only restricted to ‘fully realized citizens’ and this guy probably thinks he’s the shit and fully deserves his legroom and others are getting his treat for free because of ‘unfair circumstances’ and now he’s gonna let you know about it in his annoying letter, right wing thinking with some lib aesthetics
He didn’t pay to get legroom, he paid to not be around people who fly standard.
cry ab it
