[u/love_toaster57]

I really feel like some people are just dying for their chance to record a stranger acting in a way they don’t agree with. It’s honestly pathetic.

[u/halh0ff → u/love_toaster57]

So many people want to go viral, want to "feel" special, want attention, want to be right/justified and social media is a direct cause of this.

[u/DetectiveEames → u/halh0ff]

It seems to me like social media exposed something that was already there, and gave these people an outlet to act on it.

[u/matlspa → u/DetectiveEames]

I'm curious about that. I wonder if seeing this kind of stuff all the time influences others to feel that it's normal to react this way.

[u/DetectiveEames → u/matlspa]

I think there’s definitely an element of conditioning, for sure. There’s also an incentive to go viral. There’s likely many contributing factors. But I think the origin is almost certainly that these people have this baked into their personalities, and they haven’t received enough pushback for their behavior.

[u/kat-deville → u/DetectiveEames]

My generation referred to people like that as attention whores.

[u/DetectiveEames → u/kat-deville]

I think it’s in the ballpark of attention whoring. But there’s also elements of entitlement, power, control/manipulation. Imo, a lot of it could be filed under “immaturity”.

[u/TastyBass6957 → u/DetectiveEames]

I would never want to go viral, the internet is so cruel

[u/GrimbyJ → u/matlspa]

You wonder if we're being influenced by influencers?

[u/Powered-by-Chai → u/DetectiveEames]

Before social media these people were the chatterboxes that trapped you with excruciatingly long stories about how everyone is so awful to them for NO reason and you just smile and nod and edge slowly away...

[u/lucaskywalker → u/halh0ff]

I have been on planes before social media, and entitled people have 100% always been a thing. One thing that probably contributes though, is that airlines have reduced the room we have by like half since then...

[u/Brokeback_Camel → u/lucaskywalker]

Yeah. Time was, incidents like this were still going on, just nobody knew about it unless a witness/participant shared the story with you. I often feel the same disenchantment with thinking social media is making us worse but I think it's more just making us more aware that we were already terrible as it is

[u/Biguitarnerd → u/Brokeback_Camel]

I think terrible people existed for sure before social media but now it’s amplified.

There were always terrible people but before they had to be terrible mostly by themselves and now they can go on social media and 50,000 other terrible people tell them they are actually totally ok.

50,000 is 0.00014% of just the US population alone, the odds that they would have ever met or talked before social media are low… but now… they can get their pats on the back telling them they are totally justified to act that way and it feels like they have a lot of support.

[u/halh0ff → u/lucaskywalker]

Entitled people yes, the filming to try to prove your a victim or you are right or to garner support is new.

[u/matlspa → u/halh0ff]

I'm going to start an argument with you and video the thread sequence and post it on tiktok.

[u/Hurrly90 → u/halh0ff]

I mean the one recording was wrong. And yes you are asked to raise the windo cover thingie, while landing. So the recordee was correct.

The recorder seems t o be trying to get a rise out of the other wan, accusing her of a temper tantrum while she was just laughing at her and feeling sorry for who she is.

Why would someone post this?

[u/Zealousideal-Bug-291 → u/Hurrly90]

Thanks for mentioning that. I couldn't hear a damn thing except recorder. She needed to subtitle other lady, not herself.

[u/jimmyxs → u/Zealousideal-Bug-291]

Probably intentional as well. If we get subtitles we could probably work out who’s the idiot here

[u/g-dbat10 → u/Hurrly90]

Exactly. Someone posting this just compounds the degree they displayed as the sort of person that makes the world harder to live in, just to feel an iota of power. Entitled sadism is really sad.

[u/PmYourPasswordPlease → u/love_toaster57]

A guy at work tripped and dropped a full box and our coworkers ran over phones out to be the first to post someone else embarrassing themselves..... Social media has warped all of us for the worse, the average person can at any moment have a level of scrutiny that used to be reserved for A list celebs. With creep glasses I fear this will only increase.

[u/FewWait38 → u/PmYourPasswordPlease]

Your work should have rules against nonsense like that

[u/Suitable-Judge7506 → u/FewWait38]

But who’s going to enforce it when majority of the world thinks we are overreacting to being recorded.

[u/KittenFace25 → u/PmYourPasswordPlease]

And how many times have you seen an accident situation where the first thing everyone does is whip out their phones to record it rather than to call for help or assist?

It's truly sad.

[u/MariachiArchery → u/love_toaster57]

It's the intent that grosses me out. People are trying to 'get' other people. In these weird 'gotcha' moments. The intent then, is to rile up a bunch of other people, strangers, hopefully everyone, that wasn't involved, and send a bunch of hate towards some other stranger. You know exactly what I mean. They want the person doxxed, harasser, maybe fired from work, canceled, divorced, whatever. The intent is purely malicious, but it's veiled as some sort of altruistic evidence gathering.

When people do this, get out the phone to record some unfavorable interaction, their intent is only to ruin that persons life as best they can. It's evil. It's the exact opposite of altruism.

Now, sure, there are situations where having a camera can come in handy. But often, the intent behind recording is purely malicious.

Act like adults people, resolve your disputes like reasonable human beings. You don't need to involve Facebook and Twitter.

[u/user_name_taken- → u/MariachiArchery]

I watched the documentary "15 minutes of shame" and it really made me rethink every post like this I see. It made the connection of this kind of vigilante justice to back when people who broke societal rules would be locked in the stockades in the town square and people would throw things at them, but now it's on a kind of global level. You can watch a 15-second short or get even just a photograph of someone seemingly doing something wrong and then thousands of people will harass them relentlessly, to the point of ruining their lives, and sometimes the initial information isn't even correct or it leaves out all the context, and sometimes it's not even that bad. Sometimes it's just some minor infraction that for whatever reason goes viral and everyone feels like they're getting some kind of social justice... But it's not justice at all.

The thing that gets me is it's very often these kind of stupid issues. But there are people doing horrific things out there, that make the news, but people don't go to these kind of extremely lengths for them. Reserving that instead for someone who acts rude in public or something. Idk the whole thing is weird and I refuse to jump on the bandwagon with everyone, and sometimes will play devil's advocate rather than just hop on and start attacking some random stranger.

[u/MariachiArchery → u/user_name_taken-]

No one is perfect, we all make mistakes, we all do dumb shit, we have all acted in ways we regret and feel remorse for. All of us. Not to get all religious, because I'm not, but I think it's appropriate to talk about sin here. We are all sinners in one way or another. All of us have done bad shit.

Again, not trying to make this religious, just trying to illustrate how far the concept I'm about to discuss goes back in time. That concept is forgiveness, and redemption, from sin. This idea, forgiveness of sin, and a redemption, has shaped the world we live in today. For over 1000 years, this value, has shaped our society.

This filming people shit, trying to 'get' them, ruin their lives, offers no path for forgiveness and redemption, at all. It is a purely destructive force, that offers zero chance of rehabilitation. "You are terrible, you will always be terrible, and you deserve hell."

It's fucked up. And evil.

[u/SaltyFerg → u/user_name_taken-]

I watched it happen on threads this weekend. A lady post a video of a young woman walking up to her porch and taking a package, and labelled it as a porch pirate stealing her child’s Halloween costume. People then proceeded to dox her (the young lady), leave comments on her work’s social media, and leave dozens of comments on her Instagram harassing her. Threads were gloating about karma and getting the police involved. Eventually it came out that the package had been mis-delivered and swapped with a package intended for her. The deeply personal vigilante justice based on one persons filmsy story was so wild and scary to see.

[u/Strength-Speed → u/MariachiArchery]

I think we will look back at this period and wonder how we did not have more guideposts and rules for social media. It seems to be weakening the social fabric in general and truth is harder than ever to find.

[u/numbersev → u/love_toaster57]

"you're so going viral"

[u/HopeADMKidsLoseLimbs → u/love_toaster57]

Why don’t people understand that when they pull a phone out and record during moments like this that they are always escalating the situation?

[u/StoicPixie → u/love_toaster57]

I'm a flight attendant and this is so true. It's disturbing how many people rush into an interaction with their phones at the ready, looking for a fight. It's awful.

[u/theqofcourse → u/love_toaster57]

So much need for validation from others. "Hey internet! Am I right or am I right?" So sad.

[u/droppinPee → u/love_toaster57]

As a doctor who’s sat next to several people having a moment, a lot of it is psych related and that’s really not cool to be filming someone having a breakdown. Even a temper tantrum. Just go about your day lol. I’ve been on three flights where something happened. Did I feel the need to whip out my phone and film? Hell no, I try to find the flight attendant and let them know the situation and try to help how I can.

[u/priticker → u/droppinPee]

That a really compassionate take on it. People are not their worst moment. Don’t take advantage of it.

[u/OkChocolate3501 → u/priticker]

How else can they kick someone while they're down?

[u/Tossmeasidedaddy → u/love_toaster57]

This is why I don't say shit to people on a plane. I usually ask if the person next to me wants my drink coupons too. 

[u/defk3000]

Stupid ass music makes it hard to hear all the words being said. Seems like the lady asked and was told no. Then went back to doing her own thing. If there is more that happened before the recording we dinghy know. From the video provided the person taking the video seems to be the asshole.

[u/Valuable-Trick-6711 → u/defk3000]

Yeah, plus she barely dubbed the woman’s words at all, just her own, which is dumb cause we can hear her clear as day. The unnecessary music just makes it look more sus because why would you need to add music if it’s not to drown out the lady she’s filming?

[u/BowlingforBrains → u/Valuable-Trick-6711]

That’s what I was thinking lol - the lady being filmed sounds completely reasonable when we can hear her clearly so I wonder if she sounds even more justified if you can hear everything.

To me it seems like the lady being filmed asked the Filmer to close their window, the filmer said no, and then instead of it ending there like a normal interaction, the filmer got offended by it somehow. But it is perfectly reasonable to ask someone at a window seat to close the window. It is also perfectly reasonable to say no to that request if you’re at the window seat. The only weird part about this is getting pissed off and filming someone over it

[u/ZoneAdditional9892 → u/BowlingforBrains]

She asked her to open the window because they were landing. They make an announcement to the passengers before descent to open the windows.

[u/BowlingforBrains → u/ZoneAdditional9892]

Oh gotcha - then actually yeah she should have to open the window regardless for landing

[u/ProcrastinationSpren → u/ZoneAdditional9892]

I heard her say she asked for it open because she was feeling anxious about the landing.
Window lady … what an asshole.

[u/readonlyuser → u/ZoneAdditional9892]

I've never heard of this before... Is it specific to a certain airline or destination?

[u/Kujaichi → u/readonlyuser]

That's been a thing for every flight I've ever been on, for the start and landing both.

[u/LlamaHerder23 → u/ZoneAdditional9892]

I’m confused, I have flown 6 times in the past 3 weeks and have never heard an announcement to open windows while landing. Is this really a thing?

[u/fbass → u/Valuable-Trick-6711]

.. and the breaking news animation 🤮

[u/Mikeck88 → u/defk3000]

If I'm this blonde woman I am taking my sweet ass time to pack up when deplaning and letting everyone off in front of me.

If you wanted to get off the plane quicker you should have booked an aisle seat.

[u/MrK521 → u/Mikeck88]

Yep. Laaaaaaast ones off. 100%

I like the way you think.

[u/utzutzutzpro → u/Mikeck88]

Overweight window seat Karen will just boulder through you.

[u/Secret-Constant-7301 → u/defk3000]

It even sounds like all she did was ask her to open the blind during landing. Which is actually pretty standard, so that the flight crew can see if anything wrong happens out there. They ask everyone to open them. They always do that when I fly anyway.

[u/Witty-Draw-3803 → u/Secret-Constant-7301]

I don't think they ask us to do that on Air Canada flights - but as someone who always gets the window seat, I do open the blind when they announce we're starting the descent, in case the people next to me want to check our progress/see the city skyline/are anxious about landing. It just seems like a curteous thing to do.

[u/FireMarmot → u/Witty-Draw-3803]

Air Canada standard policy is for blinds open for take-off and landing.
On international flights it is mandatory.
Air Canada has it in their standard procedure.

[u/MaxwellHowl → u/Secret-Constant-7301]

Yep. I would have said "Oh, ok sure". Pulled it up. Went back to my phone. And no one would have ever known our interactions took place. Everyone would have a pleasant landing.

[u/OkChocolate3501 → u/MaxwellHowl]

But then you can't create a confrontation to record to show the world how great a human you are.

[u/azarza → u/Secret-Constant-7301]

i think it's regulation to have blinds up for takeoff/landings lol

[u/Secret-Constant-7301 → u/azarza]

I think the blonde lady is even saying that. I listened to it again with my earbuds. It’s so hard to hear her though, which I think was intentional because she’s right.

[u/YeahlDid → u/Secret-Constant-7301]

She does, she says legally it needs to be up. Our genius protagonist's retort? "Legally book a window seat, then." Really clever, wow.

[u/allangod]

Who is in the wrong the video asks? OP for posting this video. We all would be better off if this shit is just ignored.

[u/Slade_Riprock → u/allangod]

The person recording. Don't care. Tired of videos of everything that used to be a conversation online.

NOT EVERY INTERACTION needs to be recorded and posted online.

[u/SuperDizz → u/Slade_Riprock]

Yeah but that’s the madness you see, even your comment disparaging these types of posts helps drive engagement. And my comment pointing that out aides as well.

Thus, creating the self sustaining economy we’ve been looking for.

[u/gattaca55 → u/SuperDizz]

It sounds like you might have blacked out at a Dave and Buster's.

[u/Goddstopper → u/gattaca55]

Dont tell me its cheaper to get a bottle than individual glasses. I drink my merlot the way that i like to drink my merlot

[u/MrApplePolisher → u/Goddstopper]

Oh! That's good merlot!

[u/jimbojangles1987 → u/gattaca55]

I used to be an adventurer like you, until I blacked out in a Dave and Busters.

[u/mahboilucas → u/Slade_Riprock]

If someone starts recording me I'm just turning away and staying silent and flagging the flight attendant that someone makes me feel unsafe.

Don't ever engage. They thrive on confrontation because they have no communication skills. None of them. They overuse therapy language and psychology terms to feel superior but none of them actually possess any conflict solving skills

[u/Embarrassed_Mix_6619 → u/mahboilucas]

this, especially if they’re not listening to instructions from the flight crew.

[u/littlemonsterlove → u/Slade_Riprock]

There’s a man on TikTok who posts videos from his car camera. He drives a really low fancy car and has a handicap sticker. He goes through and finds any footage he can to try and shame people for commenting on the car.

Should people be talking smack no, but he posts people literally conversing. Senior couple walked past and the wife said “could you get in that?” The husband shook his head and they laughed. Let’s burn them at the stakes.

Even the ones talking trash aren’t seeking him out. They’re talking to people in what they believe is a private conversation.

[u/Weird_Snowman → u/littlemonsterlove]

That guys such a dickhead, can't imagine being that miserable to have to comb through all that footage just to make sure nobody said anything about him.

[u/goofytigre → u/Slade_Riprock]

B..bu..but how will the little attention-seekers get validation from their 16 subscribers if they don't post every interaction?

[u/kayama57 → u/Slade_Riprock]

Also the other lady is right windows are supposed to be open during landing

[u/Eremith → u/kayama57]

Of course! Blinders up during landing. It that the cause of this argument? I couldn't stand listening to it long enough to understand what the hell was the real problem

[u/kayama57 → u/Eremith]

Yep blonde lady is just asking camera lady to do what cabin crew request everybody to do every time and camera lady calls it a tantrum

[u/MysticalNinja187 → u/allangod]

Agreed. We don't need to see this and we don't need to care. Wish I could get back the minute I spent on this, oh well

[u/lawduckfan21 → u/allangod]

Yeah. Everyone would have agreed that a person trying to control the shade from the aisle is the one breaking polite social norms.

That is, until the window seat decided that this needed to be posted online; hearing her egging the situation on for her TikTok account made her the worse person by 100%.

[u/leafynospleens → u/lawduckfan21]

Not really trying to control the shade though she was pointing out that the windows have to be open during takeoff and landing.

She literally says at the start of the video

I asked you to open the window for me because we where landing.

[u/xSorry_Not_Sorry → u/lawduckfan21]

Disagree. Aisle asked if she could open the shade. Window said no (apparently). Aisle didn’t like that answer, probably said “well that’s rude” and Window decided to break the camera out and make a “big internet deal” out of fucking nothing.

Window is a piece of escalating shit.

[u/allangod → u/lawduckfan21]

I'm not talking about either woman in the video. I'm blaming u/Small_Image_1722 for taking this from TikTok and bringing such a stupid argument to our attention.(i do get the irony of complaining about a cringy tiktok video in a sub that is called TikTokCringe.)

[u/Baron_Bearclaw → u/lawduckfan21]

Was she trying to control the window or did she ask if it can be opened?

In polite society you can ask for what you want. That's not violating a social norm. Now if the Window-seated person declines and then the aisle-seated person throws a fit, starts yelling, starts cussin' out the other person, that violated social norms.

If the aisle-seated person reaches over and starts trying to open the window, that violated social norms.

Asking politely? Nah.

[u/SloppyTroppy → u/allangod]

We all lose 

[u/sasshley_ → u/allangod]

The person recording is a rude assbag. I would’ve been much more nasty if I were the lady in black. She was nicer than the other person deserved.

This would’ve turned into a no-fly list moment for me bc window seat chick is a big bitch hoping for her 5 seconds of attention.

[u/undeniably_confused → u/allangod]

You are allowed to ask for her to open the window, and your allowed to say no, and your allowed to be upset when they say no. Yta when you film the woman and start saying look how upset you are

[u/-Murmaider- → u/undeniably_confused]

I believe the point the lady was making is that it is a policy/law to have the window open during takeoff/landing. I have no idea if that is true but I have been asked by flight attendants to do it before.

[u/undeniably_confused → u/-Murmaider-]

Yeah it is policy

[u/Pretty-Yam-2854 → u/allangod]

I’m breaking my own rule here but I wish people would stop commenting on videos like this. And then OP’s stop posting shit like this. Then no one has to see this trash lol.

[u/theqofcourse → u/allangod]

And once they start recording, it alters their behaviour as well. They become even more strident and insistent because they have to make a stronger point for video, instead actually listening, or just letting go of it altogether.

[u/Square_Saltine → u/allangod]

I was going to say I hate everyone in that video and myself for giving them both a minute of my day by watching it

[u/HairlessHoudini]

The person recording and instigating this is an insane person

[u/AllMikesNoAlphas → u/HairlessHoudini]

And also an asshole

[u/RoRo8o8o]

Why is she recording and posting this interaction?? Such a gross power move to try to shame someone you are having a disagreement. Seems entirely unnecessary and immature.

[u/Aromatic-Turnip7371 → u/RoRo8o8o]

It’s disgusting behaviour for sure.

[u/LuckyPlaze → u/RoRo8o8o]

I hope she learns like the woman in Brazil who recorded the passenger and tried to shame her for not giving up her window seat. Deliberately slandering people over minor stuff is dirtbag behavior.

[u/AB4ND0N_H0PE → u/LuckyPlaze]

What happened to that women?

[u/LuckyPlaze → u/AB4ND0N_H0PE]

The woman who was filmed and had her face plastered online sued the airline and the person who filmed her. Don’t know if there is a resolution yet.

https://nypost.com/2025/03/11/lifestyle/i-refused-to-swap-plane-seats-with-a-crying-toddler-and-was-publicly-shamed-on-video-so-im-suing-the-airline/

[u/mybutthz → u/RoRo8o8o]

She probably thinks she's going to get support for her actions when she's really being unreasonable and rude. If they're landing, the flight is over anyway so what harm is there in opening the window? I can understand if you have a fear of heights or something and want it down during the flight, but this is so beyond that it makes no sense.

Also, not every public disagreement needs to be a social media sensation. These things used to just be brief, unpleasant interactions, and then you'd go about your day.

I was at a concert recently and there were bleacher seats that were first come, first served. I had blocked out some seats for my family because there had been a rain delay and we got separated while some people were using the bathroom and someone came and snuck in to take one of the seats I was trying to keep for my family.

I very nicely asked if they would move over a seat or go back a row, there were many open seats within the vicinity, and they were very rude about it. I couldn't tell, initially, if they were kidding or were actually refusing to move, but they never did...so.

Either way, at no point was I compelled to pull my phone out to try to publicly shame them or escalate the situation further. It's a concert, we're all trying to have a good time, if you want to be a curmudgeon—fine.

No need to post the interaction online, or try to get social support to validate my feelings that they were in the wrong—it doesn't help anything. You just acknowledge the situation and move the fuck on.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/mybutthz]

That second part, about how these used to be unpleasant interactions… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/anotherdropin → u/mybutthz]

Isn’t opening the window blind also like, a safety protocol at landing..? Airline stewards usually make us do it on international flights anyway?

[u/fatpretzel-rik]

The power move is to not get up after the plane lands until everyone else has deplaned.
"Oh, you wanted to get off earlier, you should have bought an aisle seat."

[u/Tidder702Reddit → u/fatpretzel-rik]

My spirit animal right here 😁

[u/PurpleTough5302 → u/fatpretzel-rik]

r/foundsatan

[u/Destructopoo]

As usual, the person recording is a lunatic.

[u/FrogWhoAteMoon → u/Destructopoo]

And judging purely by what is said in the video, the gal who is being recorded is in the right.

The window blind is supposed to be open while landing. It's a safety feature. If anything happens and the power goes out, people will still be able to see while trying to make their way out. And first responders can see inside to better assess the situation.

[u/ham_plane → u/FrogWhoAteMoon]

Judging by the dialog, the person recording started (I guess restarted) the entire interaction.

I'd think of it a lot differently if the video started up with the other person talking, but it's basically:

- Other lady: looking at phone

• Recorder: "So, this lady is soooo upset because I wouldn't open my window"

By dialog alone, the recorder is a real drama queen

[u/Vegetable_Lab2428 → u/ham_plane]

Exactly, obviously something happened before this but recording her and starting the argument back up is shitty. No idea where this “temper tantrum” was but I would say the lady recording is throwing more of a tantrum than the blonde woman,

[u/MGoBlue1416 → u/ham_plane]

I’m sure anyone who knows this person seen his video posted and collectively said “omg she’s doing it again”

[u/doNotUseReddit123 → u/FrogWhoAteMoon]

So, not quite. The United safety briefing, for example, “encourages” passengers to open the window for takeoff and landing. There are no FAA rules that require it.

That said, you should do it. It’s better for emergency situations and, also, I just don’t get how you can not look out the window for takeoff and landing unless your imagination and sense of wonder had been thoroughly trampled. I should reach a million miles with United in a year or so, and I regularly still look out the window.

[u/MGoBlue1416 → u/doNotUseReddit123]

The whole thing here too is that regardless of if it’s the law, or if she should have don’t it or not, from what we can see, all that the lady did was ask her to put it down. Looks like the lady is basically already over it and moving on and this Karen just couldn’t help herself. She’s gas lighting to the nth degree

[u/Beer-Milkshakes → u/Destructopoo]

Narcissists. We've given them a stage and allowed them to glorify their gratification. Its convincing others that their way is the right way. It contributes to the enshitification of our world.

I aspire to be like that bloke who wouldn't move from the park bench because a narcissist wanted to film themself alone on the bench.

[u/PuzzledCauliflower35]

Oh my god I am so glad the comment section collectively agree what an insane woman the recorder is. It doesn't require much to be nice and open the window on landing so the other person can see something or be excited.. holy shit.

[u/xAfterBirthx → u/PuzzledCauliflower35]

That Isn’t why it needs to be open. The crew requires it so they can quickly identify if anything happens during takeoff and landing.

[u/PuzzledCauliflower35 → u/xAfterBirthx]

I know, I just read about it. But it still goes a long way to be kind and tolerable of other people.

[u/WhileILoveandBreathe]

I don’t see how she’s throwing a tantrum, what does she mean? The person recording is bagging on her but it looks like the person being recorded is actually pretty calm. Maybe something outside of this video would shed more light (pun intended). It just looks from this video like this person asked her to open the window, she said no, the person was (understandably) disappointed and started texting someone angrily or something (reasonable) and the person started recording a video because she didn’t like that she wasn’t happy with her answer. 🤷‍♀️ ugh

[u/no_rest_for_the → u/WhileILoveandBreathe]

Exactly, and honestly the flight attendant is supposed to be asking that anyhow. Many airlines consider it standard landing protocol.

[u/JackOfAllTradewinds → u/no_rest_for_the]

It’s legally required for EU airlines but mostly not for US domestic I think.

[u/Leprecon → u/WhileILoveandBreathe]

The person being recorded asked to open the window during takeoff/landing, which is usually the policy for safety reasons. So they made a very reasonable request and then the person in the window seat decided to start recording and being annoying.

[u/Several-Decision3888]

Why are this being recorded?

Disagreement with a stranger doesn't need to be recorded. This conversation means nothing in the grand scheme. Go on with your life!

[u/sawskooh]

"Temper tantrum"

If I had to ID a person having the temper tantrum, I think I'd go with the lady filming and haranging the calm nice lady just for asking nicely to do something she was supposed to do anyway. What a bitchy nasty person.

[u/CinnaMinx11]

Ugh gross. How was that a temper tantrum? It turned when whoever recorded continue to antagonize her, pushing the buttons..

[u/Expert_Day9946]

90% of the time the person saying “grow up” is behaving terribly immaturely.

[u/Seroaug → u/Expert_Day9946]

She's probably been told to grow up a lot herself so she's dying to use it on someone else for a change.

[u/GuhProdigy → u/Expert_Day9946]

“grow up” and buy a window seat if you want the window open = peak maturity.

Sitting down and reasonably requesting a fellow passenger to abide by the law = Peak immaturity.

/s

[u/Muted_Scientist7875]

The woman posting this is as dumb as a brick, sorry that's an insult to a brick. I can't handle her voice.

[u/rubber_moon]

Shouldn't the air hostess be making sure the shades are up during landing

[u/Crambazzled_Aptycock → u/rubber_moon]

The person filming seems the kind who would happily put it back down once the crew have taken their seats.

[u/Boobity_McBooberson → u/rubber_moon]

They’re seated for the landing. Often they just announce it.

[u/camp1728]

The lady filming is much more of a loser then the the one being filmed

[u/adp15]

Does the woman recording even realize what an idiot she sounds like? Gross

[u/alejandrodeconcord]

Can’t we just have a disagreement without blasting it all over social media? I get we want to be vindicated but this is too much

[u/unclevagrant]

Lol. Exercise some self control! Said by the woman filming unnecessarily and antagonising someone in a confined area.

[u/goodcommentgonebad]

We all hate flock cameras but recording every human transaction is OK?!?! Can we just agree that unless it is some sort of major event recording each other is not an appropriate response to conflict.

[u/TheOfficeoholic]

Cameraperson is the asshole for sure. This person looks like they are fishing for content to share

[u/Tildryn]

The woman recording this needs to be thrown out the window. Holy fuck what an annoying voice and demeanour.

[u/MeanEstablishment499]

I finally understand why old people stop giving a fuck about anything anymore because the older I get the more I see how dumb people are becoming. Just waiting it out until I peace the fuck out.

[u/LongDead_Roadkill]

Listen the words being used by the lady filming, she’s just a bitchy control freak. Maybe the asle lady was a little huffy about the shade being down for landing, but as far as I can remember they announce over the intercom before landing and ask everyone to put their shades up. Maybe that’s just the airline I use or specific airport requirements.

And yhy force a conflict? I can be snarky and post online that the lady in the window seat is a control freak, that really isn’t unusual. But pull out your phone to record and admonish someone for doing something you aren’t even sure they are doing is ridiculously petty.

[u/xAfterBirthx]

I like how everyone in the comments has no clue that it is a requirement by the crew to keep the shades open during takeoff and landing to spot issues and quickly assess in case of an accident.

[u/liosistaken]

The fact that the person who posted this chose to only subtitle her side of the ‘conversation’ makes it clear she doesn’t want us to hear the other side, which makes her wrong by default.

[u/Throwawayaccountdell]

It seems the Woman asked her nicely to open the window and when the lady by the window said no she stopped asking but the lady next the window decided to escalate by starting to record even though the exchange between them was over at that point!

[u/Equal-Yesterday-9229]

People are more interested in taunting and rubbing little victories in other peoples faces than they are being a fuckin adult and moving on. It's over. You won your little battle, move the fuck on.

[u/anonareyouokay]

I think the person that recorded is wrong. The lady in the video didn't ask to switch seats, she asked to raise* the blind. The camera lady doesn't have to do it, but it's fine to ask.

[u/conqr787]

"Hey chat! Look here chat! I'm right and they're wrong chat! Clown them with me so I feel significant chat!"

[u/Excellent-Yard2823]

The person recording is an idiot.

[u/DarwinofArabia]

Seems like she’s being recorded in the hope she can bait her into saying something racist. You can hear the smarmy passive aggression in her voice.

[u/Ambitious-Bird-5927]

She didn’t look upset, even after you started filming her tho

[u/Token_Singh]

Flight attendants will be along to tell her to open it if they're landing. Can't wait for part 2 when she accuses them of having a tantrum as well.

[u/crystaljae → u/Token_Singh]

I just flew California to Texas and back and they announced that you need to have the windows open during taxing and landing and many windows were down and not a flight attendant said anything.

[u/HeftyProperty454]

The shutter is actually supposed to be open for safety reasons upon landing and takeoff. So technically mrs. Bookawindowseat is in the wrong. If they are in fact landing as the other person stated.

[u/Civil_Television_311]

People need to let shit go. Always make a big fuckin deal out of everything.

[u/cookiesNcreme89]

Just like more times than not, the idiot recording needs mental help

[u/0neAboveAlI]

I find it kinda funny that the person recording these interactions is usually the one that comes across as a lunatic to us viewers.

Do these recorders not realize that they sound unhinged? I can HEAR the unhinged-ness in the recorder’s voice as she talks down to the blonde girl.

This is crazy.

[u/zippychick78]

Could only get about ten seconds into this. I hate people. I hate this trend of bullshit. Hate it

[u/Outrageous_Put_3286]

She didn’t ask for the window seat, she asked for the lady to put the window shutter up while they landed. Which you are supposed to do, anyway.

[u/TestDowntown9541]

Everybody should have a voice. But, everybody doesn’t need to be heard. Social media leveled the playing field for the voiceless, at first…then it slanted downward into an ocean of mud and dookie.

[u/elzibet]

"Exercise some control" look in the mirror. She was minding her own and the person filming seems to be the only one throwing a tantrum.

[u/thaa_huzbandzz]

If the person being recorded is telling the truth, "I asked you to open the shade because we are landing", isn't that aviation legislation? Every flight I have been on the window shades need to be open for takeoff and landing.

Edit: It is a legal requirement in my country, no idea about the laws in the country they are landing in.

[u/gowingsgo]

Window seat lady is in the wrong here

[u/AbsorbedWheat42]

If you are ever in this situation, play a disney music video. They won't be able to post it anywhere.

Also, social media didn't change anything. We've always been pieces of shit, technology just let's us know about it.

[u/dskinny623 → u/AbsorbedWheat42]

This is only so effective. They can still post is on most sites with zero issue and even on YouTube they MIGHT lose monetization or have it suppressed. The best thing to do is just stop talking. She would've deleted this video if the lady just sat there calm with a smile and didn't even entertain her.

[u/chalkhara]

I've got a thing to tell you, come close.. ... It's not social media - it's us. 🤫

[u/Empuda]

Social media is the new age Shame Bell. Get paid to ring that bell.

https://giphy.com/gifs/jw9QR8a1zASxJ1nDQT

[u/Acceptable-Owl-2070]

Ragebait, and y'all move it along by posting it, over and over and over...because other WILL engage, and keep the shit machine ever rolling forward.

https://giphy.com/gifs/x00hSAGfs864yclJer

[u/AbbreviationsHour410]

She didn't want the window seat. She wanted to see out the window for takeoff and this bitch makes a big deal out of it

[u/spacecommanderbubble → u/AbbreviationsHour410]

Actually it is required that the shades are raised during takeoff and landing, she is absolutely correct about that.

[u/2BadSorryNotSorry]

She is not upset about not having a window seat. She simply asked if you could open the window for landing and you said no. She seems nice. You do not.

[u/Kiwimonster77]

The person recording is in the wrong. The other woman says at the start “I asked you to pull up the window shade because we’re landing.” I always book the aisle, and I would do the same, BECAUSE IT’S A SAFETY ISSUE!!

[u/demoliahedd]

I hate whoever the person is that recorded this. They seem insufferable and who the hell records and posts something like this?

[u/Venuspowers5000]

The person recording is definitely worse just by hearing her voice. Gross.

[u/Ok_Function2282]

Everything from this interaction aside, how much of a jerk do you have to be to not open the window when someone is excited to see the city they're flying into??? Like what, you're already awake, are you afraid of 3 minutes of sun?

This request would be like holding the door for an old lady coming in behind me, I wouldn't even consider not doing it

[u/yoursuburbanmom]

person recording is fuckin bonkers. everyone’s just searchinggg for their time to show the world how big of an asshole they can be

[u/Alarming_Oil_5260]

The person recording is a fucking child and the worst kind of person. Too bad they didn’t leave their username on the video.

[u/hyvel0rd]

what exactly happened here? I feel like the woman recording is much more obnoxious than the lady she filmed. Am I missing something?

[u/MaybeIwasanasshole]

Lets put on some loud fucking music in the background for no reason, so it's even harder to hear the shitty audio

[u/mr_etymologist]

This is grade-A bullying on the part of the window lady.

[u/HaventRedditToday]

Window lady is wrong and absolutely egregious.

If an aisle person asks an awake window person to lift the shade to look out for a minute, window person should get over themselves and do it. Just like aisle person will stand up and let window person in and out for bathroom.

Flying is not the place to act like window person is acting. Trashy.

[u/LiffeyDodge]

so, the person with the camera is harassing someone for asking a question?

[u/jf737]

Doesn’t seem like much of a temper tantrum. Seems like the person filming is the problem here

[u/diabeasti]

"Breaking News"

[u/wondercaliban]

A pair of click goblins

[u/DawnSlovenport]

Who's playin Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet in the the backgroud? Hopefully it's not from someone else's phone or laptop.

[u/Em-BiggeneD]

Honestly, people like this existed before social media. We just didn't give them a soapbox to stand on.

[u/Kashley006]

The woman recording is the issue. They are landing. It's daytime. The woman filming said no, and it appears the other woman accepted this decision. The woman filming seems to be the one antagonizing and filming out of spite.

[u/X0X0xoxo11]

Op sucks. All that lady asked was for her to open the window not give her the seat ffs. She went back to minding her business and gets recorded for “likes” and “views”. Social media was a fucking mistake.

[u/Shadowy_PuppetMaster]

Please crank the music up louder, I can still somewhat hear the other woman

[u/lego_mannequin]

She just asked her to open the window, like what the fuck?

[u/Cute_Economics2829]

Imagine posting a video of yourself where "isn't this woman so owned because she's not allowed to strike idiots in public???" Is the entire premise

[u/markayhali]

Some people just like to hear themselves talk. The recorder has issues. Accuses woman of throwing a tantrum that is clearly not throwing a tantrum.

[u/NoBirthday6959]

The person filming seems like a real pos

[u/tacodepollo]

Both of these people are lame.

[u/Je5terSAP_]

Books a window seat. Closes the shade. Says NO when neighbour would like a peak. Proceeds to film said neighbour, telling them to book their own window seat.
Interactions like this is why I’ll eventually disconnect.

[u/maythyknifebreak]

F the lady recording. Disgusting behavior.

[u/meergreister]

I lost quite a few brain cells watching just part of this. Both people are crazy.

[u/throwitoutwhendone2]

The fuck even is this? The lady didn’t look like she had a tantrum, it looked like the lady filming was the one crashing out

[u/No_Idea_9436]

The woman recording should be banned from flying for five years, we need accountability, tired of the narcissistic losers running the me show constantly.

[u/EducationalAd3415]

holy shit the lady who recorded this is insufferable

[u/Regular-Dirt2826]

It crazy becasue if I was either person I would have A opened the window or B they say no i say ok and it's done

[u/stross_world]

She didn't even ask for the window seat she asked if she could lift the window shade while they were landing because she has anxiety.

The woman recording was just looking for her viral moment and trying to create drama.

[u/Capable-Region-8677]

The woman recording is a dildo.

[u/SoilDependent1054]

Does she say "because we were landing?" Isn't that a rule to lift the shades? I fly all the time and they always come by and make us lift the shades. The person recording is just flouting direction and gets triggered when another passenger asks her to comply?

[u/Resident_Goodish]

Just open the window. She’s just asking for it to be open during landing, probably to take a pic but who knows or cares.

One is mad that a simple request can’t be fulfilled the other is a complete weirdo to not oblige and film it instead.

[u/spacecommanderbubble → u/Resident_Goodish]

It actually is required to raise the shade during takeoff and landing, she's 100% correct on that.
