6 Craziest Things Travelers Ever Heard Passengers Say on an Airplane

Air travel in the social media age has lost the plot. It’s as though someone opened a can of Karen magic dust, sprinkled it everywhere, and waited for the outcome. From shouting at air stewards to telling the passengers how a seat neighbor is “not real,” air travel involves much controversy.

A recent online post shares travelers’ picks for the craziest things they overheard on an airplane.

“I nodded and put my headphones in,” says the weary commenter, “and about one minute later, she grabbed the cord on my headphones and pulled it out of my ear so she could blather on about it.”

1. A Boyfriend’s New Boat

“The kid was telling his dad how much he loved the song “Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye,” says the commenter. “When the kid was finally done talking, the dad just looked at him and said, ‘You’re a virgin.'”

2. Settle Down, Son

A poster says how a kid, quietly sitting in the next seat, suddenly launched into a terrifying meltdown as the plane started moving, screaming that everyone on the plane would die. “Eventually, and for no noticeable reason, the kid relaxes and starts talking about how cool flying is,” explains the contributor.

5. The Switch

6. Mile-High Hatred
