For those who frequently grumble about babies on airplanes, it’s time to reconsider your stance. A recent incident on a flight proved that there are far more irritating things than a crying infant at 30,000 feet.
During a flight from Miami to New York, Dr. Mark Jenkins, a physician, encountered a rather rude situation. The passenger in front of him didn’t just recline her seat; she went a step further. In a moment that could only be described as bewildering, a woman decided to drape her long hair over the back of her seat, completely obstructing Dr. Jenkins’ partner’s screen. It’s safe to say this was not the kind of in-flight entertainment they had in mind.
To document this outrageous behavior, Dr. Jenkins shared a photo on social media, captioning it: “Kudos to the woman in seat 24A for creating a new level of discomfort at cruising altitude.” The post quickly gained traction, as many found it hard to believe someone could be so inconsiderate.
While it’s important to acknowledge that the owner of this impressive mane had hair that looked like it belonged in a shampoo commercial, it still doesn’t excuse the lack of etiquette. Hair, no matter how glorious, has no place invading someone else’s personal space in an airplane. The only individuals who might appreciate such a spectacle are children fascinated by hair styling, who likely forgot their own dolls at home.
Dr. Jenkins and his partner, after sharing incredulous glances, politely asked the woman to move her hair. Thankfully, she complied without any fuss. It seems she was deeply engrossed in her mobile game, which might explain the lapse in judgment.
As a frequent flyer and parent, I find this incident a reminder that while children can be challenging during flights, at least I strive to be considerate toward others. Parents often feel scrutinized when traveling with young ones, as the stakes are high—putting your child’s feet on the seat can lead to serious consequences.
So, to all parents flying with children, don’t let the side-eyes bother you. Remember, there are far worse things than a baby’s cries—like a stranger’s hair draping over your armrest.

In summary, while traveling with children can be daunting, it’s clear that there are far more disruptive behaviors than a baby making noise. The incident serves as a lighthearted reminder about airplane etiquette and the importance of being mindful of others in close quarters.
