I got stuck sandwiched between 2 male passengers on a plane — I was seething with female rage

What’s worse than sitting next to a “manspreader” on a flight? Getting smooshed between two of them, as one woman discovered during a recent plane trip from hell.

“Why would anyone EVER need that much room???” fumed the flyer, named Erin, in the caption to the claustrophobic clip, which currently boasts 16.7 million views on TikTok.

The Post reached out to the content creator for comment.

In the clip, the videographer’s legs are seen scrunched together as her male neighbors on either side spread theirs into her seating area.

The male to the right of Erin even has pins pushed up against hers.

All the while, the Swan Lake theme can be heard playing in the background, accentuating Erin’s anguish at being bookended by her inconsiderate neighbors.

The hemmed-in influencer wrote that she even tried to get one of her seatmates to move but to no avail, adding that the ordeal filled her with “female rage.”

The space invasion didn’t sit well with TikTok commenters, one of whom wrote: “Okay,that’s just too much.”

“Do some people not know what personal space is?” spluttered another.

A third theorized: “It’s on purpose, probably to feel you up too. They do it cause you let them, you gotta speak up or they’ll take advantage.”

“The way I’d be screaming,” said a fourth. “Please stand up for yourself.”

Meanwhile, some pointed out that it was bad enough she had to sit in the middle seat, where passengers have to elbow joust for armrests even though many experts agree that they should get both.
