I was on a flight to a work conference, feeling pleased about securing an aisle seat.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The window seat next to me was occupied by a man in his 40s, dressed in a suit and acting as if he owned the plane. Halfway through the flight, the flight attendants began serving dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I hadn\u2019t eaten all day, so I was eagerly anticipating my meal. Just as the food was being served, I needed to use the restroom. When I returned, my tray was missing.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

To my shock, Mr. Important next to me was happily devouring what was clearly my dinner. \u201cDid they bring my meal?\u201d I asked, trying to stay composed. He didn\u2019t even try to conceal his smirk. \u201cOh, yeah. You took too long, so I assumed you didn\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Can\u2019t let good food go to waste. Besides, I was still hungry.\u201d I was stunned. \u201cYou ate my meal?\u201d He just grinned, chewing away. \u201cYou snooze, you lose.<\/p>\n

You can grab a burger at the airport or something. No big deal.\u201d I was left with only a small bag of pretzels while he relaxed, looking pleased with himself. But then, karma took its turn. The flight attendants announced that\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026the airline had mistakenly loaded the wrong meals for the flight, and anyone who had eaten the chicken option\u2014which just so happened to be the meal he was now devouring\u2014should report immediately to the galley due to a potential food safety issue.<\/p>\n

Mr. Important froze mid-bite, his smug grin vanishing instantly. The confidence he had worn like armor melted into panic. He looked at his half-eaten tray, then back at me. \u201cDo you think it\u2019s serious?\u201d he asked nervously, his tone now devoid of the arrogance from earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I don\u2019t know,\u201d I said, feigning nonchalance. \u201cThey don\u2019t usually make those kinds of announcements unless it\u2019s bad. I mean, really bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

He paled. \u201cLike\u2026 food poisoning bad?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPossibly,\u201d I said, leaning back and folding my arms. \u201cI guess we\u2019ll find out. Good thing I didn\u2019t eat it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He gulped, his confidence completely shattered, and quickly flagged down a flight attendant. \u201cI ate the chicken,\u201d he confessed, his voice trembling. \u201cWhat\u2019s the problem? Am I going to be okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

The flight attendant assured him it was just a precautionary measure and suggested he drink plenty of water, but the seed of paranoia had already been planted. For the rest of the flight, he couldn\u2019t sit still, shifting uncomfortably in his seat, breaking into a cold sweat, and clutching his stomach at every minor gurgle.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I calmly sipped my drink, nibbling on my pretzels, and enjoyed the in-flight movie. Every so often, I\u2019d glance his way, just to watch him squirm. It wasn\u2019t the warm, comforting dinner I had hoped for, but seeing him suffer his karmic comeuppance was almost as satisfying.<\/p>\n

As the plane began its descent, he leaned over to me, looking genuinely distressed. \u201cI\u2019m really sorry for taking your meal,\u201d he muttered, barely meeting my eyes. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have done that.\u201d<\/p>\n

I raised an eyebrow. \u201cYou snooze, you lose, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

He winced, realizing his own words had come back to haunt him. \u201cYeah\u2026 I guess I deserved that.\u201d<\/p>\n

I just smiled and turned back to the window, satisfied. Karma may have taken its time, but it always knows when to strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
