Cabin sympathy
It seemed like the more considerate and composed I acted, the less tolerable the honeymooners’ behavior became to everyone onboard.
I made small talk with passengers and helped where I could, building goodwill. Meanwhile, the couple’s rudeness and disruptions alienated them further.
People started openly avoiding eye contact with them and exchanging sympathetic glances with me. This dynamic shift boosted my confidence, seeing that their antics not only annoyed me but also grated on everyone.
