When lawyers fight over airplane armrest, legal threats fly

A pair of lawyers went loco aboard a Spain-bound airplane, causing a wild ruckus in a squabble over a shared armrest, according to a report.

Footage of the in-flight feud aboard a Monarch Airways flight from Gatwick, England, to Malaga, Spain, starts off in the middle of the dispute.

“There’s an armrest over there and you will share this!” the male passenger can be heard saying to the female passenger, in the 3-minute video obtained by the Daily Mail.

“We’re arguing over an armrest!” the man says and tells a crew member, “I am not going anywhere. I paid for this seat!” when he is asked to change his seat.

“You can relocate her! I am not moving anywhere. I paid for this seat!” the man continues.

At one point, the woman cites her legal background, saying, “I know my rights.”

“I’m a lawyer too! You stupid woman!” the man says.

The passenger filming the incident can be heard joking, “Everyone is a lawyer today.”

The woman claimed that the man hit her with his elbow and she threatened to “sue” the airline if it did not take action.

By the end of the flight, it appears that the two passengers were seated on opposite sides of the plane.
