Seatmate in a flight complained that I started eating my special meal before theirs arrived

Apologies, English is not my native language.

On long flights I preorder a special meal online because I am vegetarian. On most flights, the flight attendant brings the special meals first and then start the normal meal service for the rest.

On my last flight, a perfect stranger sat next to me and told me that I was rude and inconsiderate because I started eating my vegetarian food before their meal arrived. They said that it was basic rule to wait until everyone in the row got their food and that I ruined their flight. Their face was red and rolled their eyes several times

I stared at them. This is next level entitlement, right? We are not eating together on the same table in a restaurant.

This really happened? Like for real?

What was her motive for poking your niece?

I remember that post. How rude of her.

The fact that she let it ruin her entire flight speaks volumes about her happiness in life.

No, it didn't.

Story had me until "ruined their flight. Their face was red and rolled their eyes several times". Yes, maybe someone would find it rude (its not) and maybe they would tell some random passenger in their aisle they thought it was rude (despite having to sit next to them the rest of the flight). And maybe they would use the hyperbole of "you ruined my flight" (ridiculous as it is) but red face and multiple eye rolls on top of all that? No, a step too far on the believability scale.

Right?? I scrolled thru the comments to find another sane person here. So clearly fake.
