Don’t do it…
Don’t even think about it…
I’m talking about swapping seats on an airplane, in case you were wondering. But if you don’t believe me, just listen to what a TikTokker named Mark had to say.
Mark told viewers: “If someone asks you to swap seats with them on a commercial flight, be careful because these people’s intentions are not always the best.”
Explaining what happened to him on a flight, he said, “As soon as I sat down, a strange lady tapped me on the shoulder and said something like, ‘Hey, my seat is right here,'” pointing to the seat next to her.
The woman continued, “‘But my daughter is sitting a few aisles up. Could you switch with her so we can sit next to each other?'”
Mark said: “I was already in premium economy and the only people sitting in front of me at that point were in first class. I had to assume her daughter was in first class.”
He asked the woman to show him her ticket, but she didn’t let him.
Mark added: “Then she tells me her daughter has the ticket and continues to describe her daughter. Like she wants me to walk up and down the aisle of the plane looking for her so we can switch seats.”
He continued: “All of a sudden she becomes totally lethargic, throws her bag in the overhead bin and then collapses into the seat next to me. She just says, ‘Being a mom is so hard. I’ve been walking around all day. I’m sorry. I’m just so tired.'”
Mark said: “I felt like she was just making it up. I just thought, ‘No. I’m in good hands here.'”
The woman was not happy with him and told him, “You don’t understand what it means to be a mother.”
Mark continued his story, saying, “And before you know it, this random guy comes down the aisle, taps her on the shoulder, and says something like, ‘Ma’am, I think you’re sitting in my seat.'”
The man showed the woman his ticket and he was right: she was sitting in the wrong seat. The woman eventually went to the back of the plane where her seat was actually located.
Watch the video.
@mmarkroberts but if someone asks if they can switch seats with you on the plane, don’t always assume it’s a scam because I believe there are real families out there who just want to sit together – it was just a random flight on a plane I happened to be on

Here’s what people had to say.
One viewer summed it up perfectly.
Another person made a funny comment.
And this viewer intervened.
I’m glad he stopped this wannabe scammer!
