During a routine flight, a mom named Bethany encountered an entitled parent whose behavior spiraled into chaos, turning a simple trip into a lesson on patience and karma.

Bethany’s daughter, Ella, was calmly enjoying cartoons on her iPad when a boy nearby became fixated on the device, whining for one of his own. The boy’s mother, later dubbed “Entitled Mom (EM),” confronted Bethany, insisting, *“It’s not fair to him. That needs to be thrown away.”* Bethany declined, explaining the iPad helped keep her daughter calm, which infuriated EM.

As tensions grew, EM’s careless movement knocked Ella’s iPad to the floor, shattering the screen. While Ella cried, EM feigned innocence, saying, *“That wasn’t what I meant!”* Yet, a glint of satisfaction in her eyes suggested otherwise. Bethany struggled to stay composed but was interrupted by a flight attendant, who apologized for the inconvenience without resolving the issue.

As if on cue, EM’s son spilled coffee on her lap and into her open wallet, soaking her passport. The document was ruined beyond recognition, jeopardizing their travel plans. *“We won’t make it to the next flight!”* EM lamented, her earlier arrogance replaced with panic.

Bethany reflected on the chaotic flight as she comforted Ella, promising to repair the iPad and bake cupcakes together. Meanwhile, EM faced the consequences of her actions. Sometimes, karma teaches its lessons swiftly, even at 30,000 feet.
