Asking a solo traveller to change his/her seat is quite a common thing that we see while travelling on flights and trains. Many people often ask other co-passengers to simply take an upper berth on a train or change seats on a flight. While a few people agree with these unnecessary demands and change seats as requested, not everyone moves to other seats. Recently, an X user shared his experience of being asked to shift to a different seat.
This Man Was Asked To Sit On A Different Seat; He Gave The Perfect Reply
Taking to the X platform, Mahesh (@Hanumanbhakt000) shared a hilarious incident of his conversation with another passenger during his journey from Bengaluru.
Mahesh boarded the flight and was sitting on his specified seat. Another passenger on the same plane came to him and asked if he could completely change his seat and move to a different row. That passenger asked Mahesh to do so as their family wanted to sit together on this flight from Bengaluru.
No, none of the 3 passengers planning to sit together in a row was a kid. In fact, the youngest among them was in his mid-20s, shared Mahesh.
After the X user was asked to move to a different seat, he agreed to the demand of his co-passenger. Wait, here comes the biggest twist. Mahesh was about to shift to a new seat but he had a condition for it. He agreed to move to a different seat if the other passenger paid him the extra amount spent on selecting his already booked seat on that flight. “I accept cash/GPay and told her I paid xxx for that seat”, shared Mahesh.
It was indeed the funniest yet the most effective way to deal with such demands. There have been endless times when we saw others requesting people travelling alone to simply move away from their already specified seats. Mahesh’s witty response is clearly the best way to handle such unwanted situations.

Netizens Love This Idea!
X users seem to approve of this epic response of Mahesh. Asking anyone to randomly change seats is a major problem and this plan surely is a perfect way to simply say no. And why would someone even move just so that some people can sit together on a short-haul journey of hardly about 2 hours? Netizens are applauding him for this hilarious idea of asking for an extra charge for the seat.
The next time someone asks you to move somewhere else and you do not want to, use this response.
