Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I was just an observer but I definitely thought this lady was TA.

On a 2.5 hour flight, I’m two rows obliquely behind the action. This British guy sits in an aisle seat next to an American lady. 

Flight kicks off and he pulls out a smoked salmon baguette.

Lady then turns to him and says ‘is that smoked salmon? Could you put it away? It makes me sick.’

The guy has this dumbstruck look on his face and remains neutral, he doesn’t try to eat it but he doesn’t put it away either because he’s not sure if she’s serious.

She again goes ‘No I’m serious, if you eat that I’ll be sick and throw up all over the place.’

Poor guy then puts his sandwich away. The kicker is she then talks to all the strangers around her for the full flight in a loud obnoxious voice, including sandwich guy. He looks away a few times and rolls eyes as he just wanted some peace and quiet and to eat his sandwich. No one seemed to be talking back to her though.

If I were in his place I’d tell her ‘I’m sorry ma’am but I haven’t eaten lunch yet and I am rather hungry, so I am going to eat my sandwich. If it’s going to be an issue I’d ask the flight attendant to move you elsewhere as the flight isn’t full.’

IMO I think she was unreasonable and TA.
