The interaction encouraged other users to share their own stories about annoying mid-flight interactions.
“On Sunday I flew with red eyes. After dinner service, I put on my eye mask and earplugs, but I still heard my neighbor watching videos on his phone. I asked them if they had headphones; of course not. “They took the hint and stopped making noise,” one person recalled.
‘People who use speakerphone or watch media without headphones in public are the WORST. Zero concept of being considerate of other people. It’s completely mind-blowing to me,’ someone else complained.
‘Yes, I have experienced this. They should use headphones. “I don’t understand how anyone thinks behavior is acceptable… but lately my standards have been tested,” wrote another.
‘There is always one on every flight. Good to say the least,” praised another.

Some even shared times when people had ignored their headphones in other settings.
“Not on a plane, but at my gym about a month ago there was an older woman on the elliptical machine next to me with a podcast or audiobook blaring,” one user shared.
They continued: ‘I took off the headphones and asked him to turn them down and I realized it was actually about the value of silence and the absence of noise.
“The irony completely blew my mind.”
