A man has been praised for his 'savage' revenge on a nine-year-old boy who kept kicking his daughter's chair on an overnight flight.

The daughter, then aged 14, explained how she was travelling back from India with her dad and just wanted to get some sleep on the journey before landing.

Unfortunately for her, this was made "impossible" by the nine-year-old boy sitting behind her kicking her chair throughout the flight. Annoyed, her dad decided to take matters into his own hands - proving a point to the youngster's parents in the process.

She said on Reddit: "When my dad and I were on a flight back home from India. Behind us there was a family of three, with their son behind me, and the mum behind my dad.

"It was a night time flight and everyone was beat. It was also a small, budget airline with not much legroom."

She added: "About 10 minutes into the flight, the kid behind me starts kicking my seat. To be clear, he wasn’t very little, maybe nine or 10.

"I let my dad know and he politely asks him to stop, and he does... for about 10 seconds. We tell him again ( more firmly this time), but no luck."

With that, her dad reclined his plane seat as far back as it would go - leaving the child with little to no legroom. She added: "When they ask him to put it up he doesn’t. They call the flight attendant and the jerk's dad talks to him."

Much to the man's delight, the flight attendant had clocked the young boy's behaviour and stated he was well within his right to keep his seat reclined.

She said: "He walks away with the dad left spluttering and cursing under his breath. Fun times!

"The parents realised what happened and after a few harsh whispers, got the kid to stop kicking. But that didn’t stop them from glaring at both me, my dad, and the flight attendant who walked by.

"My dad did keep the seat down for another hour, but got up once he was sure those parents learned their lesson."

Commenting on her post, one user said: "Your dad gets an A+ in petty revenge. Some people can't be reached unless they are directly impacted. As long as the kid was kicking someone else's seat, they couldn't be bothered. People like these and the little sociopath they are raising should be dropped off on their own deserted island."

Another user added: "He should have waited till they had drinks (hopefully cold) then reclined rapidly - oops sorry!" A third user said: "Well done. Made them make the kid stop kicking, and got the added benefit of making them seem crazy. Two thumbs, way up."
