The internet was left horrified after a video surfaced showing a plane passenger shamelessly waving his hands at another traveler’s television screen.
In the nine-second clip, the stunned traveler, who appears to be sitting in a middle seat, films his travel companion encroaching on his space.
We can see the man seated in the front row, reaching towards the back of his chair, his hands leaning on the on-board screen.
Seemingly unconcerned, he first starts tapping on the television, which interrupts the broadcast of the program.
Then he interlocks his fingers, scratches his nails and even strokes the monitor.
All this time the cameraman remains silent – but it is unclear what happened at the end of the recording.
Dozens of viewers were quick to flock to the comments section to offer their own thoughts and bold solutions.
One wrote: “I refuse to believe anyone would be so obnoxiously inconsiderate. »
Another added: “They get a polite excuse for me. Then it’s a very wet fake sneeze with my water.

Seemingly indifferent, he behaves first by tapping on the television, which interrupts the program currently playing, before interlocking his fingers, biting his nails and caressing the monitor.
