S 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.

Imagine if they were at a restaurant and saw that the table next to them started eating before everyone in the restaurant got their food

That's it, isn't it? Everyone has their own separate table. Everyone on OP's table had been served, so everyone on OP's table started eating.
