Recently, aDeltapassenger decided that not everyone should have the privilege of enjoying their small seatback screen.
Taking to Reddit, user u/WheatlyWoodson shared a photo of aflier‘s fur-lined jacket covering someone else’s entire touchscreen. “Ready to get triggered?” theywroteon Friday (April 12).
The Redditor provided more information about the unpleasant experience, saying the jacket belonged to a “veeery old woman” who was “wheelchair’d onto the plane.”

“She was with a family member (probably a son), and it took two airport employees to carry her into the middle seat. I actually had to leave my row to give them space to maneuver.
As u/WheatlyWoodson explained, their seat companion didn’t complain about the situation despite it occurring during a 4-hour flight.
The Reddit user added: “I do wish the FA had said something because this is a situation where no one is going to say anything to a very old lady. But I also feel bad for the middle pax for being in an awkward situation.”
“Most people don’t actually confront people.”

“Yeah, maybe I’m just an a**hole, but old lady or not, I don’t discriminate against speaking up,” someone wrote.
Another Redditor agreed with this view, saying that, as long as people keep a polite tone, there’s nothing wrong about asking for what they deserve. “Why should it be wrong to ask nicely?” they wrote.
Others would’ve simply taken matters into their own hands. “I’d have just moved it,” a separate individual commented.
“Toss it over their head and access my IFE,” someone else suggested.

A flight attendant shared how she reacts when faced with a similar situation. “I will say something and ask thepassengerto move their jacket, even offer to put it in the overhead bin for them. A lot of people don’t like confrontation especially if she is elderly but I have no problem doing it for them,” she wrote.
“As a[n] FA, please tell me,” an additional Redditor chimed in. “A lot of the time, they don’t realize it’s covering the monitor. People go through life in their own bubble. Let me help them realize they’re not the only ones on the planet.”
