He’s mad that two women are savvier than he is. Sat there in his $70 extra chair he has been made to feel stupid because they got the same thing for free.
He didn’t even pay for it - he used stupid airline points that he probably got from all his shit bag business travel that he didn’t pay for either.
Terminal boomer YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES brain but the rules are just entirely made up on the spot, this is exactly the drive behind “Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be” and “You live in a gated community and you go on a walk at night” (among other boomer characters on this channel). It is entirely about desire to exercise unearned power over other people.
I’ve been thinking about this one since it came out. Calling someone a lush and acting like it’s an egregious insult is hilarious.
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.

In bad country the social order is such that everyone is required to be economically equal, and if you break this social order you are publicly shamed and ridiculed. Your individual economic situation must conform to masses standard or be hidden. No one is allowed to show the world that inequality is the true nature of their national ideology.
Now imagine writing an article about your petty bullshit.
This guy was the kid who reminded the teacher about the homework when they would forget.
Lizard brain. Basic stuff we’ve all lived with (by living in a society) since kids were old enough to give voice to a parent that it’s not being fair if big sis gets a cookie and I don’t.
“I WANT AN ICE CREAM TOO, MOM!” “Of course, Billy, it’s only fair.”
So this guy wants his seat for free too. Because in his mind it’s only fair. And if that can’t happen he wants the opposite, them paying the same as he did, for the same reason.
Inertia. Habit. History. They all rule the day.
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
In a country that indirectly teaches you to get the bag or be a sucker, the only people crying are the ones who aren’t high enough in the pecking order to get the bag before a “lesser” person does.
He didn’t pay to get legroom, he paid to not be around people who fly standard.

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.
