Woman's hair angers fellow airline passenger and sparks debate over her attitude

An airline passenger blasted another traveller for the way their long hair was draped in front of him sparking a fierce debate on social media about what he should have done.

The man posted a photo on Reddit, shaming the other passenger, and it showed the hair going all the way down towards his food tray, reported BirminghamLive.

The snap has gone viral on the social media platform and many have come up with views about what he should do - with the majority suggesting a subtle comment to the person would have ended the issue.

“My view for most of my three-hour flight," wrote the disgruntled passenger along with the pic.

Another Reddit user replied: "Yeah. It’s simple. I fly a lot for work. This happens every now and then.

"I usually just tap them on the shoulder and say 'excuse me, your hair looks great but I don’t want it to get caught in the tray or seat. You should probably move it' and that’s it. Worked every time - so far."

Others were of the same opinion.

Theway said: "EXACTLY! "Excuse me, would you mind moving your hair? It's blocking my screen'.

"Really not difficult and 99% of the time they'll say 'oh sorry'. This didn't need to be a problem."

Not Kevin said: "“Excuse me, your hair is in my way back here.

“Oh ok. Thanks. End of issue. You’re never going to see that person again and they have no valid reason to be offended."

One person said that they had long hair and this is a problem that can happen.

Glitter wrote: "I have a lot of long hair and sometimes if I put it up like this, sections of hair fall out of the band and drop down.

"It looks just like how this person’s hair is falling. My hair is pretty heavy and sometimes I don’t notice it’s partially fallen because it’s all just swinging away back there and it’s really the boss of me most of the time.

"I’d maybe give this chick the benefit of the doubt that she doesn’t know it’s fallen down? I’d be very embarrassed if my hair had done this and it would be even worse if the person just suffered in silence instead of asking me to move my damn hair."
