Travellers infuriated over woman's selfish flight act

"If that doesn't work, I'd tell a flight assistant to please take care of it"

Flying brings together all kinds of strange people, and all their strange habits, to one confined space.

You’ve got the people who stand up as soon as the plane lands, the people who try to reorganise the overhead bins so you suddenly have no idea where your things are, and those who decide to take their shoes off and let everyone else smell their sweat.

One Reddit user has taken to the platform to expose an annoying flyer, forcing everyone to pose the question - what would you do?

I know planes are gross, but…

A Redditor has taken to the platform exposing a woman who seems to have taken cleanliness a little too seriously on a Ryanair flight.

“Lady covers seat with ‘seat bag’ - tray table cannot be opened…” they wrote.

In the photo, you can see that the woman has covered the entirety of her seat with a plastic bag, which might protect her from the germy seat, but also prevents the person behind from accessing their tray table, safety information, and spew bags.

Not ideal, if you ask me.

“Maybe she literally didn’t think of that!”

Commenters on the post agreed that the woman had gone too far, suggesting that the person behind contact a flight attendant to remove it.

“Flight attendants would make her remove it. Just call them,” said one person.

“Aside from the inconvenience of not being able to use the tray table, it is also covering up the safety instructions. That's enough of a reason for the flight attendants to get her to remove the bag,” another agreed.

“I'd just ask her to remove it because I can't open my tray anymore. Maybe she literally didn't think of that. If that doesn't work, I'd tell a flight assistant to please take care of it,” said a third, more sympathetically.

“How is this allowed?”

However, others had a more direct - though debatably less confrontational - approach.

“Or….. it’s a plastic bag just tear out the back,” said one person.

“You absolutely can open it, ripping a plastic bag is easy,” another commenter agreed.

“How is this allowed? I would just rip it open from the back,” said a third.

“I would honestly try to move the plastic upwards just enough to uncover the tray. If that doesn’t work, I’m ripping the shit out of it. Some people really have no consideration for others,” another said.
