Did a woman have to fly with a stranger’s kid on her lap due to an overbooked flight? That’s what she’s claiming!

Can you imagine having to do that? I mean, it’s one thing if it’s your child. However, having to allow a stranger’s kid to sit on your lap during a flight seems like a bit much whether it was overbooked or not. This is just adding to the list of reasons why it’s annoying to fly. There seems to be a new story coming out every day about something horrible happening in the not-so-friendly skies. It might be a drunk passenger, a rude gate employee, or a toddler having to sit on your lap because of an overbooked flight. That’s not to mention incidents of doors coming off the plane! Can you imagine having to endure a flight with a stranger’s kid on your lap that isn’t yours? That’s a nightmare scenario!

Did A Woman Have To Fly With Stranger’s Kid On Their Lap Due To An Overbooked Flight?

According to The New York Post, 19-year-old Lily Winward of Ulladulla, Australia, claims she was flying home to Australia from the United Arab Emirates when she was forced to travel with a stranger’s toddler on her lap due to an overbooked flight. It sounds like she was flying Etihad Airways from Athens following an athletics competition when the flight stopped in the UAE for a layover. That’s when she says she was told that it was an overbooked flight and she would have to be put up in a hotel but that wasn’t something she was comfortable with. She says she wasn’t comfortable leaving the airport in her attire in Abu Dhabi which can be quite strict and was getting harassed by another passenger, per The New York Post.

She reportedly then suffered a panic attack and was eventually told by staff that they could squeeze her back on her original flight although she would have to share her seat with a toddler, The New York Post reports. This wasn’t some simple quick flight either. It can take around 15 hours! All that time with a toddler on your lap can’t be comfortable and there’s no way you’re getting some shut eye on that flight.

Now, she’s trying to figure out why she was the one booted from the flight instead of another family or a couple. I just can’t imagine having to do that. However, it’s understandable why she wouldn’t want to leave the airport to go to a hotel. It would be very inconvenient and could land her in some serious trouble if anyone takes issue with what she was wearing.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
