‘Selfish’ woman disrupts red-eye flight with distracting device
It was a light-mare at 30,000 feet.
As if red-eye flights weren’t grueling enough: A US flyer experienced the trip from hell after her neighbor used a flashing light-up charger for the duration of the six-hour overnight flight, as seen in a video glowing up online.
“Who does this?” wrote the perturbed passenger in a Reddit post detailing the abominable sky-light incident, which occurred on an unspecified flight (a Glowing 747 perhaps?)
In the incriminating clip, a passenger in her row can be seen deploying a rainbow light-up charger of the variety sold on Amazon.
The kaleidoscopic cable cycles through a spectrum of strobing colors like a radioactive Twizzler, illuminating the dark interior of the cabin where passengers are trying to sleep. This was perhaps the one time it was not pleasing to see a rainbow in the sky.
The Redditariat shared the woman’s annoyance with the weapon of mass distraction.
“Some people are literally the inverse to social anxiety and it really shows,” commented one, referencing the charger owner’s apparent obliviousness to her fellow flyera.
“Why would someone own that? Seriously,” wondered another.
A third wrote, “That’s horrendous. I’m surprised the flight attendant didn’t say anything.”
Others labelled the rave-evoking device potentially dangerous, claiming it could cause people with epilepsy to experience a seizure.
Meanwhile, some Redditors wondered why the uploader didn’t call out the charger’s owner.
“Info: did you say anything to her?” inquired one armchair traveler. “Did anyone say anything to her? That’s why she thinks it’s ok to do shit like this.”
The original poster explained in the comments: “I just wore my hood up and over my head and endured — the upright seat was more annoying to me anyhow.”
Speaking of annoying acts at 30,000 feet, last month a passenger experienced every window seater’s worst nightmare after her neighbor invaded her space so he could take photos of outside the airplane.
