I was prepared for a peaceful journey when I settled in the middle for the lengthy journey from London to New York. However, I was unaware that the next eight hours would be the worst of my life due to a woman named Karen.<\/p>\n
She was continually whining, kicking, and elbowing people, so I assumed she was trying to win an award for being the most unpleasant passenger.<\/p>\n
I attempted to ignore Karen, but she insisted on making a mess, repeatedly pressing the call button, and asking to be relocated along with the woman sitting next to me.<\/p>\n

I knew Karen had finally had enough, and I couldn\u2019t help but smile as we stepped off the plane.<\/p>\n
I was happy to see the skipper make a cunning play that completely reversed the problem.<\/p>\n
