Woman buys front row seat on plane but it turns into 'everyone's anxious nightmare'

A woman says she is 'never going to recover' after her experience sitting on the front row seat on a plane unlocked everyone's 'social anxiety'.

Remember when travelling used to be fun?

When you were younger, you would just sit there with those little cans of Pringles and your two-hour plane journey was pretty much sorted.

When you get a bit older though, you realise how much those little cans cost and how it was taken for granted when your dad took full financial responsibility at the airport.

Being an adult and actually having to remember, not only your passport, but to not leave your boarding pass at Starbucks, is not the one.

However, it seems that one plane passenger has got it worse than all of us after purchasing a front-row ticket on her way to Greece.

Jess Smith (@jesssmith_36) has taken to TikTok to share a now-viral video of her view from the front seat - which happens to be of the whole plane.

It turns out that the seat she booked was placed backwards, meaning that she had to face the entire plane throughout the whole flight.

After the posting the video a week ago, it's now racked up millions of views as fellow users admitted that they would simply crumble under those circumstances.

"This would be good exposure therapy for my social anxiety," one person commented, while a second said: "I wouldn't know what to do with my face the whole journey, like what expression do I use."

A third person wrote: "I’d try and go on my phone but then I’d be too socially awkward to look up then my neck would hurt like mad but my anxiety wouldn’t let me look up."

Another added: "I would take out a pad of paper, stare at each person several mins then fiercely write notes, switching between giggle fits and angry scowls.

"If it's going to be uncomfortable, I'm going down my way."

As someone else said: "Ugh I had to sit facing people on the train like this for an hour, idk if I’d manage a flight.

"I can’t just pretend they aren’t there, and if they try to talk to me? I’d be annoyed af the entire time."

Others opened up on their own experience, as another comment read: "Omg... This happened to me once. I had a massive panic attack, had the s**tes in the toilet, my whole body malfunctioned..

"Then they put me in this seat, where everyone glared at me, it was horrific."

Apologies to nervous flyers who have now got one more thing to worry about before heading on board!
