Travellers fuming over couple’s ‘disrespectful’ act on plane
A passenger has unleashed over a couple’s “disrespectful” act while on a recent flight, but others say she’s simply being a “Karen”.
Everyone has a preference when it comes to flying.
For me, it’s always an aisle seat if I get to choose. But, what you don’t get to choose is who you’re sitting next to.
Unfortunately for this person, it’s about the worst possible answer.
“PDA Final Boss”
TikTok user Harry Marjoram has taken to the app to expose some travellers on a flight to Greece.

While he’s on the other side of the aisle, his girlfriend has been seated next to a couple who’s taking PDA to the next level.
“When my Slavic girlfriend, who hates PDA, meets the PDA Final Boss on a 4-hour flight to Greece, for the entire flight!!” he wrote.
“Nothing beats a Ryanair holiday!”
In the photos provided, Harry kept the travellers’ identities anonymous. But, you can see a woman sitting on her male partner’s lap with her feet on the seat, facing towards the poster’s girlfriend.
“I only see a couple in love”
Some commenters were quick to defend the couple, saying they, too, would act like this on a flight – and have every right to.
“Everyone hating but I only see a couple in love,” said one commenter.
“I genuinely don’t see what’s wrong with this, people wanna get comfy on airplanes and as long as they’re not doing anything inappropriate I think it’s fine,” another agreed.
“I always sleep on my boyfriend the whole way somewhere, and if you’ve a problem I will shove my foot up ur face. Grow up … if you could be comfy you would too,” a third shared.
“Where are the Karens when you need them?!”

However, the vast majority of the video’s almost 10 million viewers were on the poster’s side, calling the act ‘disgusting and disrespectful’.
“Where are the Karens when you need them?!” one person asked.
“This is so disgusting and disrespectful,” another said.
“I like acceptable PDA (hold hands, quick kisses, hugs, like the normal stuff), but this? Yeah HELL nah,” said another.
“ … and people complain about crying babies. I’d pay extra to be next to a child rather than risk this,” another commenter said.
