The incident was a reminder that sometimes, people need to be taught a lesson in respect and boundaries. My husband and I were happy to have made it through the flight without further incident, and we looked forward to a relaxing evening at home.

As we walked through the airport, my husband wrapped his arm around me and said, “You really showed her.” I smiled, feeling proud of myself for standing up for him. Sometimes, a little bit of petty revenge can go a long way in making a point.
