When James is on his way home after a swimming competition in London, all he wants is to sleep on the flight. But that’s the last thing on the agenda because sitting next to him is a woman who only wants to cause trouble. Eight hours later, the captain teaches her a lesson.I was already prepared for the flight. I knew that it was going to be a long one. I mean, eight hours from London to New York was not going to be easy, but I had my earplugs, sleeping pills, and a few snacks to keep me going.I had just wrapped up a grueling swimming competition, and every muscle in my body was crying for some much-needed rest. I was in the middle seat, which wasn’t ideal for my height, but I was too tired to care.

The woman next to me, at the window, seemed just as wiped out as I was, and I could see her eyes drooping before we took off. We exchanged a weary smile before settling into our seats. It’s okay, James, I thought to myself. You’ll sleep through it all. AdvertisementBut then there was the woman who was going to be the cause of absolute mayhem and discomfort for the next eight hours. From the moment she sat down next to me, I sensed that she was going to be trouble. She was huffing and puffing and shifting around like she’d been assigned to a seat in the luggage compartment instead of economy.
