Fieser Brief: The billing after the flight
Nobody likes unpleasant neighbor sitting. This woman calculates: She publicly writes a nasty letter to the aircraft passenger who has ruined her trip.
A long flight is always exhausting. Annoying neighbors can make the trip really uncomfortable, because in an airplane you do not escape anyone so easily! But after the flight is over, most forget the frustration and are happy about the arrival at the travel destination. Not so this woman: Lau Mun Yee from Kuala Lumpur expects!
After her trip from Singapore to Sidney in April, the 24-year-old woman writes one to an aircraft passenger sitting behind her. She publishes this with the title "Dear passenger 15A":

"Dear passenger 15A,
You do not know me, but I sat in front of you during the flight from Singapore to Sidney on April 12th. What I expected as a routine flight became a lifetime experience for me - and all because of you. I am writing this letter to thank you personally.
As a miser Asian as I am, I did not pay extra for a seat next to the emergency exit. Although he offered more legroom, I did not feel like reading the special security procedures. The last thing I wanted was to endanger the lives of all innocent passengers because I do not know how to open the plane door.
Despite my normal economy place you have offered me a complete back massage from repeated kicks in the seat. To this day, I'm still recovering the full flexibility of my lower body, but since I'm single, I suppose I can not use them much anyway.
I had not paid for an entertainment package, so I was worried about getting bored. But my concerns were unfounded. You talked so loud, like your girlfriend was sitting in the hold instead of right next to you. Maybe she is hard of hearing? It may seem weird, but for the first time in my life, I wish to be hard of hearing myself.
And could you tell me where you bought the disgusting snacks? I suppose they were delicious because you opened a new one every 30 minutes.
Thanks for the rustling and smacking sounds! At that point, I thought, "It can not get any better." But what I meant as a rhetorical question was taken as a challenge. Because immediately my nose was attacked by a foul smell of death and decay. The stench was so strong that I turned sideways to see if the old lady was still breathing next to me. It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and pinch your feet directly between the window and my seat. It must have taken a lot of effort - there was not much room, but you kept it as close to my face as possible. Your kindness touches me.
The sun rises on the horizon; the sky is crimson and golden in color. But I can not look to this everyday miracle, because every time I do it, I smell the anus of Satan. I was about to pull the oxygen mask down over me. But then I remembered that I was flying with a cheap airline and probably would have to pay extra for it.
Did you know that you made me a religious person? I made more prayers on this eight-hour flight than in my entire life. I was torn to ask God for strength to endure the rest of the journey and "CUTE GUAN YIN MA, BRING ME NIGHT HOME!"
The experience was so memorable that I write from my therapist's office. I also signed up for ten more sessions.
Thanks again. Insincere Yours, Passenger 14A "
In this letter, the young woman was finally able to let go of her anger and amuse people all over the world. That was also in the sense of the 24-year-old - the letter to the aircraft passenger 15A would be rather humorous, as nasty meant.
Also to smile: During a lecture, this professor does something incredible, as the baby of a student starts to cry.
