Viewers shocked as airplane passenger covers their neighbor\u2019s TV screen on long-haul flight Reddit: d_p_e_kA passenger on an airplane wasn\u2019t able to watch any movies during their trip when a flier in front of them covered their TV screen with their hands during a long-haul flight. There\u2019s no shortage of jaw-dropping moments that have happened on airplanes \u2014 but this incident in particular is making the internet rage. Just over the past year, we\u2019ve covered a slew of disturbances that went viral during flights. From a woman \u2018upgrading\u2019 her seats by covering them in plastic wrap to a woman who claimed one of her fellow passengers \u201cwasn\u2019t real\u201d in an epic meltdown, it seems airplanes are a hotspot for\u2026 interesting events. The latest moment to take the internet by storm is sparking a debate about communication with other fliers during air travel and what\u2019s considered acceptable flying behavior. Person\u2019s hands cover passenger\u2019s TV screen on long-haul flight In 2022, Reddit user \u2018d_p_e_k\u2019 posted a video taken by his cousin, showing their point of view from where they were sitting in an airplane. The passenger in front of them had their hands over the headrest of their seat, effectively blocking the cousin\u2019s TV screen. In the video, the flier tapped on the screen and appeared to pick at their fingernails, apparently oblivious to what they were doing and how they were inconveniencing the person behind them. The video went viral, and is picking up again a year later as viewers are left flabbergasted by the passenger\u2019s behavior \u2014 and even offering some suggestions as to how they would have handled the situation. \u201cYou should have held his hands,\u201d one commenter suggested. \u201cFake sneeze and flick some water on him,\u201d another said. However, others were upset that the cousin apparently didn\u2019t communicate with the passenger about their behavior for the duration of their long flight. \u201cAnd your cousin sat there in silence and let them do that?\u201d one user said. \u201cLol they must have liked it, then.\u201d \u201cYour cousin should have called a flight attendant and tell them \u2018hands\u2019 to stay on his side,\u201d another suggested. This is just the latest airplane-related snafu to go viral after an off-duty pilot reportedly tried to crash a plane during a bad mushroom trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
