Strange Things People Seen While On A Flight
Every year, nearly three million people fly as passengers in a commercial airlines. This meant that there are a lot of stories to tell about what goes on inside those airplanes.
Thankfully, a lot of those 3 million people are also Redditors who’ve graciously shared their strange experiences with the world.
Redditors have shared stories ranging from near collisions to just fellow passengers being foolish. Here are some of the strangest stories passengers have had on their flights.
Close Call
One Redditor recounted their harrowing experience with a near miss while on one flight. They saw the light in the distance from out of his window. He asked the passenger next to him if he could see them too. Unfortunately, he could.
The two men feared the worst as they realized that it was another plane, and as it got closer, they could see into the cabin windows. Thankfully the plane ducked below their plane just before it would have collided. Now that’s a close call!
Human Foolishness
Another Redditor remembers a passenger displaying what has to be the single most dumb thing you can do on an airplane. They told the Redditor that they were getting up to use the restroom. Nothing weird about that, wrong!
The passenger then got up marched towards the bathroom. But the Redditor noticed that they then walked straight past it towards the emergency exit – the one that will depressurize the cabin! Thankfully a flight attendant quickly stopped the man from opening the wrong door.
A Kick Me Sign
A Redditor had an encounter with a particularly nasty steward that would sigh at any request or downright refuse to do the simplest things. Soon the entire plane got in on a joke at his expense.
Someone managed to tape a “Kick Me” sign on his back which he walked around with for two hours. Every passenger would laugh behind his back, and he was none the wiser until an elderly lady told him about it.
Always Prepared
A man in a fancy-looking suit boarded a plane and sat next to one Redditor. The man proceeded to go to the bathroom with a carry-on bag and come back changed into nice silk pajamas and slippers.
He slept through the whole flight, and just before they landed, he changed back into his suit. The Redditor admits that they were a little jealous of how comfortable the man looked when he slept.
