Some viewers felt the front passenger was rude and deserved the retaliation. “At first I was with the lady in the front,” one commenter wrote, “but after she kept throwing her hair back, she got what she deserved.” Others were skeptical, pointing out that both passengers wore similar hats, suggesting they might know each other. Many also argued that the whole thing seemed staged.
“You would absolutely know someone is touching your hair,” one person said. Another added, “Come on, that’s a wig! Totally staged!” Whether real or acted, the video stirred up debates about airplane etiquette — and how far is too far when dealing with inconsiderate behavior.
