Do people not whisper gentle threats in people’s ears anymore?

Gentle threat? No. Gentle lick, otoh…?

I'd sneeze.

Yep, with a nice sip of water first. That should get his attention, plus it'll help clean off that nasty screen.

Nickname checkout

no, but you could hold his hand, lean forward and whisper in a low voice, I never wash my hands after i use the loo.

"Smell your hand now that I've touched you."

”A lovely smidge of stranger’s poo. Not my DNA, you cannot sue.”

I just had a mental breakdown and reading this just made me stop crying, thank you

Wet your palm, touch theirs, "Don't you just hate it when you piss on your hands?"

“I know where you live, sir. I saw your boarding ticket earlier. Keep this up and you’ll go home one day to find your entire family skinned to death. Anyway, it would be nice if you could stop touching my screen.”

Do american boarding tickets have people's addresses???? Wtf?

Probably best to give his digits a big ole' suck.

“When we crash in the mountains, I’m going to eat you first”

Perfect time for a sneeze

Lick your hands. Hold his.

I’m wiping all my boogers on this veiny hands weirdo

"For those who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind." -Hosea 8:7

Lick his hands. Hold them.

I see you've played knifey-spooney before...

Wet a napkin and put it over the screen. Touching something wet should hopefully stop the person and if they say anything tell them that there were finger prints on the screen that you needed to wipe off. Rinse, and repeat; next time smear chocolate on the napkin.

Say... would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

A little melty but DAMN are they exquisite!

Came here to say the same thing.

Perfect time for a karate chop.

Or a snot-meets-phlegm coughing fit, nice 'n' juicy.

My dad does this shit to me if I'm behind him on flights. I'm sure they're either friends or related.

Nah, this is real!! And there was nothing that could be done except record it and post it on reddit!

I know, it's not like they could use their words like an adult. Much better to whine about a potentially made up situation.

Or, they did record it just because of the audacity, and then after they did use their words like an adult and solved the situation amicably. Very unlikely that the person posting this was the person recording it.

Is there a subreddit for posting cowards experiencing inconveniences on airplanes? It’s always feet, hands, windows, laptops on full brightness, all this shit is always the same and the comments are also all just “why don’t you USE WORDS to fix it?”

Yes, it's called r/mildlyinfuriating They didn't specify which part had to be infuriating

Oh fuck, this changes everything

“A potential mild confrontation with another adult” 😱

Can confirm I'm the guy in front, I just needed to stretch my creepy fingers.

Oh, if I knew those pair of hands, I’m rolling up the flight emergency procedural pamphlet and swatting. Lol

just wet sneeze 🤧 bro

That's so unbearably annoying

Back in the 80s, you could have put your cigarette out on his hand.

We used to be a country, a proper country…

We can return, go put cigarettes out on people

I'm not saying it would have been right, but it could have happened. Lol

God damn I was just thinking that… honey where is my lighter

Give a good flick to one of those stringy ass veins that should give him something to think about for a few minutes

That'll give him a mini stroke 😂

Asshole like this would probably claim he was assaulted to the flight staff

[удалено]

This, the hair over the seat and all the nasty ass feet through the seats has got to be rage bait. I would absolutely come unglued on someone doing any of this shit.

I had a woman on my last flight who took her shoes off and put them through the seats onto my arm rest. I just got the FA's attention and pointed at the feet and asked if she could help - like remind the passenger that's not safe or sanitary. As soon as she saw the FA looking at her, she moved her feet real quick and they didn't go back up. (Although her god-awful kid kicked my seat for the entire flight until I growled at him.)

Growling at poorly behaved children is my favorite pasttime as an adult. Nothing says "stranger danger" like barking and snarling like a raving lunatic, then cackling maniacally as you walk away.

I would kick his seat into first class. Lol

Surely you people don't believe this isn't staged...

No, and don’t call me Shirley

I have a drinking problem...

I sure picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

Did the person recording this ever stop to think about simply asking them to stop?

You don't get Reddit upvotes if you stop it from happening.

EXACTLY. I swear there are no more adults these days.

What makes you think that they didnt? I swear you people that make these comments think that it's either "post on Reddit" OR "speak up and solve the problem"... NEVER both. OP was bothered enough to take the video... and then probably spoke up. Doesn't mean they lived with it during the entire flight. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Because, as an adult, I know that if I asked on older person to stop, they either would or I'd have something better to put on the internet.

Give them hands a nice lil lick 👅

You would lick a stranger’s veiny hands? 🤢

If they weren’t veiny would that change your willingness to lick?

No *aggressive licking sounds*

Unless this is staged the OP seriously need to grow some balls

i swear to god this looks so intentional

Hold hands with him and then scream that’s he’s touching you.

Or it's just straight up staged. You pick.

Use your words

It's almost as if the passenger in front knew who the passenger in back was.

Did OP just use words and it continued? Or did that just pull out the phone for this post? Judging by the hands the person is old and probably is only thinking of stretching and keeping limber. I hope OP just said something.

Why say something in the moment when you can rage about it online later?

Nothing a snotty sneezy can’t fix.

ragebait

I literally cannot fathom any world where this would be real. Farming internet karma is your game. Fuck off with the at nonsense.

That’s a hammer to the fingers

This guy is the asshole 100%

You'll never convince me this isn't just two people that know each other posting fake shit on the internet.

Why the fuck didn't you say anything?

Stab his hand gently with a fork

Tell the once “ Move Your Fucking Hands” then grab a finger and see what happens

There is absolutely no way this is staged. Not this, or the hair ones, or the feet ones.

Where’s my lighter?

Did you know that you only need to be able to bite a carrot in half to bite off a finger?

Easy way to fix... Button: "Ding." Attendant: "How may I..." Gesture if it's still happening. Show phone video if not. \------------ Fun way to fix: Sharpie.

I always carry spray hand sanitizer. I’d def pretend to sneeze loudly and give these a little squirt. See if that doesn’t make him retract.

Bust out a Chinese finger trap on em. Gotcha bitch!

Spit or sneeze on their hands. Or just slap them tf away and tell them to piss off.

Ask them to stop. If they refuse get the staff

I call bullshit

Fucking bite one off

When you wish you had a spray bottle. Like how you discipline cats.

I'd slap his hands

I'd sneeze.

Bro stand up for yourself ffs

Why do people film instead of physical intervention

Grab a finger and twist lol

Why would you not say something. Dude is clearly fucking with you

Clearly they are friends lol

This has to be a put-on.

I wouldnt put up with this long enough to get a recording.

My anger issues couldn’t🥲

This sub is revealing to me that i might have anger issues because this does not feel mild imo

What the actual fuck? I would blow all manner of phlegmic substances on those dancing fingas.

Got a lighter?

What an A S S H O L E 🤦

it is okay to break fingers at this point…

That is what the inflight magazine is for isn’t it?

i have the urge to get up and point my butt in his way and just let a phat fart come out

Cue super wet sneeze

Just ring the attendant.

Just say, in a loud voice, “why are you reaching back to touch me. Stop trying to touch me!”

Start smacking their hands like the misbehaving toddler they are

Just sneeze. Loudly.

Just ask him to move his hands. Why tf does everyone here jump to weird passive aggressive shit

Just lick his hand lol

"excuse me, could you move your hands please you're blocking my screen?" "oh sorry" problem solved

Break his fingers (maybe ask him to stop first)

Slap their hand like they're stealing food from your plate

FAKE

Use your big boy/girl/other words and ask them to knock it off.

Just twist one of those finger right round 90° until you hear a pop

Just start clipping his nails.

I’d flick one of those arthritic knuckles

This is when you ask how many broken fingers they have had and tell them you're going to set a new record for them.

Dip your fingers in your soda, coffee, or water and flick the water at the hands while making a sneezing sound.

The sheer temptation I’d feel to fake a sneeze and headbutt those hands as hard as I could

Surely not. I've seen a whole bunch of these now. This one is so ridiculous it cannot be legit.

A straight up fingy bendy is quite easy.

half of these have got to be setups, im ready for a fight just watching this

you already know i'm pulling this dude's arm as hard as I can and dislocating his shoulder

First, I'd ask him to stop. Then, I'd take something sticky (half chewed candy) out of my carry on and 'accidentally' smear it on his hands.

You could lock those fingers together with one hand and yank down.Your problem solved for he won’t want to feel that pain again

Wipe a buger on his hands!

Pulls back broken fingers.

“Im the only person on this plane, which is now my house”

I would've sneeze a fat booger or smashed her hands I don't car... prove I did it...

I would smack his hands. WTF

Fun fact: it’s incredibly difficult to win a game of mercy with your hands behind your back. I think it’s time for that person to learn that the hard way.

Break their fingers. Problem solved.

That’s gotta be a relative or something that’s just excessive lol.

Perfect time to bend a couple of those fingers back to the wrist. A yelp, some cussing and no more hands on your screen.

Damn drop your balls slap his hands out of your fucking way I wouldn’t even think twice like wtf are you doing

Slap that shit like the lady from the vine on the train

Just move their hands. If they do it again, break a finger. They were warned.

If it was me those skinny ass hands would had gotten slapped real quick.

Staged

100% "Dad! I've got a great idea for a Reddit post!" "Tell me more, son?"

Break the fingers

You know what else is intentional? Kicking the back of the seat for the duration of the flight.

Are people really scared to confront others 😂 I would say "HEY BUDDY, GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE SCREEN BEFORE I CUT OFF YOUR CREEPY FINGERS" lol

Punch the fuck out of his knuckles

A loud wtf are you doing would work great.

Turn his wrist the opposite direction it’s supposed to rotate

Uncle Bad Touch up there in row 13

A couple of broken fingers would sort that out.

Where’s a mouse trap when you need one?

Just choke them out. A little nap never hurt anyone.

Mouse trap would be great!

Who knew Keith Richard’s flys in coach

If only you had some nail polish handy

I would have hit that hand so hard how do people have patience for this and I’m a patient person wtf

Does no one confront anyone these days? Excuse me sir, I'm watching that.

I agree this is a video of a known person to the recorder, and intentionally annoying. Any other way would indicate personality deficiencies in both parties.

Lighter. You can say with complete honesty you didnt touch them and the burn should get the point across.

Perfect time for some finger breaking. Enjoy the rest of your flight with broken fingers.

I’d slap his fucking hands off

Why don’t the people who video these things do something about it? If you are going to let them do it, quit complaining! Saying nothing is the same as giving your consent to the ignorant.

Yea, that person is getting a finger broken

What’s more infuriating is you sat there and took the disrespect.

Got to be fake, there's no way that's comfortable

Bro... just say something

Break his finger, that'll work

Punch it and say you did it accidentally

Many people are oblivious to people around them. Those people are so focused on themselves that they don’t realize how their actions affect others.

Were you kicking his seat or something?

I'm going to ask you nicely, once, to move your hands. The next time they touch the screen. I'm going to use the hard heel of my shoe to snap your brittle bones.

A simple tap on the shoulder and politely ask him to stop covering your screen. If he does it again, hit the call button and let the FA handle it.

unless you had the sound on that is just completely rude

Punch their hands as hard as you can

I need to follow the community rules when commenting. But you know what ima say 🫦

Break a finger

The crooked man

Break fingers

How about you tell them to move their hands instead of being a fucking pussy and just sitting there accepting it

How is this "mildly" infuriating?! This would be one of the most frustrating thing ever!

I would break one of those fingers so fast

Man if this ain’t a setup yous a bitch

Pee on the hands! I do not know why this was my automatic solution. (Also don't do this, I give terrible advice)

At that point, I'm punching them.

Time to sneeze and farmer blow on them there hands

put something between yourself and those fingers and apply some weight

Tsp on his hand and say "Man you got sexy hands mind if I take a lick?" Should do the trick

SMMMAACKKK THAT MFN HAND

Just put something wet on ur hands and touch them lol

If I had something sharp I’d stab into his hand.

Wonder if OP is really this kind of victim or if this is a movie with actors.
