Munyee Lau, 24, wrote a 550-word manifesto to the passenger seated behind her after a recent nightmarish eight-hour AirAsia flight from Singapore to Sydney. The letter posted on the Singapore humor site SGAG has gone viral.

Dear passenger 15A,

You do not know me but I was seated in front of you during the flight from Singapore to Sydney on April 12. What I had initially thought to be a routine flight turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience – and it was all because of you. I am writing this letter to thank you personally. Being the cheapskate that I am, I did not pay extra for a seat next to the emergency exit. Though it offered more legroom, I couldn’t be bothered to read the special safety procedures. The last thing I would want is to compromise the lives of all the innocent passengers because I do not know how to open the airplane door.

Despite my common economy seat, you offered me a full back massage by repeatedly kicking the back of chair. To date, I have yet to regain full mobility of the lower half of my body. But since I am single, I suppose I don’t have much use for it anyway.

I did not pay for the in-flight entertainment package and I was worried that I might get bored. But my concerns were unnecessary. You were talking so loudly, as if your friend was seated in the cargo hold rather than right next to you. Perhaps she’s hard of hearing? This might strike you as odd but for the first time in my life, I wished I had a hearing impairment too. Also, could you tell me where you bought those obnoxious snacks? I assume that they must have been delicious cause you rip one open every 30 minutes. Thanks for the loud rustling and chewing ambient sounds!

At this point, I thought, “It can’t get any better than this.” But immediately, my nose was assaulted by a putrid smell of death and decay. The stench was so strong that I turned to check if the old lady seated next to me was still breathing.

It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and put your feet between my seat and the plane window. It must have taken considerable effort — it was a small space but you stuck it as close to my face as you possibly could.

Did you know that you have made me a more religious person? I have said more prayers in that eight-hour flight than I have in my entire life.

24岁的刘敏仪经历亚航从新加坡到悉尼八个小时噩梦般的飞行后，写了封550字的公开信给坐在后座的乘客。长信发布在新加坡幽默网站SGAG上，随后遭疯转。

亲爱的15A座乘客，

您不认识我，4月12号从新加坡飞向悉尼的航班上我坐在您前面的座位。起初我觉得这只是一次普通的飞行，但因为您，这成了我终身难忘的经历。所以我写信谢谢您。

我承认我小气，我没额外加钱坐紧急出口旁边的座位。即使那个位置的空间更大，我也没耐心去读特殊情况安全守则。而且我不能置他人性命于不顾，因为我不知道怎样打开机仓门。

我坐经济舱却享受了全套背部按摩，因为您一直不断踢椅背。到现在我下半身还不能恢复正常活动。反正我单身，也不怎么需要用它。

我没有购买航班娱乐大礼包，起初还担心会无聊，但担心纯属多余。您讲话如此大声，你的朋友坐货仓没在你旁边吧？或者她有听力障碍？你可能有点吃惊，我平生第一次希望自己也有听力障碍。

还有，您能告诉我你从哪买来讨厌的零食吗？它们肯定特好吃，因为你每30分钟就会撕开一包。我听到包装袋撕开的声音和咀嚼环绕音！

那时，我觉得自己真是受够了。但是不久后，我的鼻子又被一股如同死尸腐烂的味道攻击了。臭味如此强烈我忍不住检查了下坐我旁边的老太太是否还活着。

您能把脱掉鞋并把脚放在我座位和飞机玻璃之间真是太厉害了，肯定费了不少劲吧 — 这地方那么小，您还能把脚伸到离我脸最近的地方。

您知道吗，您让我成为一个更虔诚的人。这八小时里我祷告比此前一生还要多。
