An inconsiderate woman with a light-up phone cable left other plane passengers wondering 'Who does this?'
If you're taking a flight at night time, you'll know that the lights will be dimmed, so to be considerate to others, you'll try and use technology with the lights low, perhaps even use your Kindle instead of using a reading light, and you may even try to sleep to make time pass faster.
One plane passenger was left unable to do that, however, as a woman's light-up phone cable was flashing different colours in the dark, leaving people surrounding the woman confused, and annoyed at the lack of consideration.
They captioned the two-second video clip: "This woman's charger in my row during a 6+ hour red-eye flight", asking later "Who does this?"
In the comments, people were left baffled at why they would've taken such a charger onto a flight, with one writing: "Usually it's some combo of them liking people paying attention to them, and liking having power over other people [...] In reality, of course, nobody else is speaking up because the risk/reward in their minds isn't worth it. Not worth potentially getting beat up or yelled at by someone who clearly doesn't give a s**t."
'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'
"Why would someone own that? Seriously", someone raged, with another adding: "I got one as a gift and my god I'm sure through my own body's electrical current I could charge my phone faster. It spends more energy on the disco lights than actually charging a phone I'd be surprised if it was fully charged by the time the flight landed."
Another added that she may have accidentally picked the wrong cable up and needed to charge her phone, so may have been "embarrassed" to use the garish one she was. Someone said: "I'd be too embarrassed to use it, but I would absolutely accidentally pack something like that and want to disembark the plane early midair." Another joked: "Owning it and bringing it on a f**king airplane (and using it there) and two very different things. She is evil though." A Redditor suggested that the woman had taken it on the plane to "intentionally annoy others."
