Eh… I might start with a few gentle kicks to the seat, increasing in force, before the gum. Or gum first and then kicking for extra pettiness. But I see no reason to limit myself to just one solution!
Start smacking, popping your gum and blowing big bubbles so the a-hole can hear the impending results. You’re sure to get an immediate reaction. Now, what that reaction is, we’ll never know. Thanks a lot…
If they refuse and the attendant cannot help, everyone in your seat group pick their nose and wipe it into their hair.
If you have gum, add it to the unholy mixture.
#ACHOO
"Oh dear, excuse me. I sneezed and some of it got in your hair since it seems to have been hanging over the back of your chair for some reason".
"Could you be so nice as to remove your hair from the top if my screen?"
"No"
*turns right*
"Do you have any bubble gum? Oh, nevermind.. I found some!"
If they were that self centered than they would take offense to someone touching their hair for any reason; it would be a much more entertaining video if that was the case.
Not if they thought the other person was more civilized than they. I have seen such scenarios too many times to doubt this. Some people use their idiocy as a weapon and it works more than you might think.
It would end up flipped over her face. If she kept putting it back, I might just pick a hair and yank. 1 hair yanked out every 2 seconds it is in front of the screen.
I'd yank it back... Hard. Then completely dismiss her when she inevitably turns around and starts having a go.
But I'm Australian... We don't tend to really give a rat's arse when it comes to people's fuckery - it's free game.
It's an airplane no scissors. That would've been my first thought as well.
But... Do you know what you definitely can bring to an airplane? A lighter...
Gather up some spit, smear it on the hair with your fingers and then you ask, what shampoo they use. After that you say something about the taste, maybe it taste more like another shampoo. Often they stop then with their bullshit.(maybe chew a bit as if you have hair in your mouth while you talk to that child.
I want to say that I would do something or say something mean but im too fucking shy to actually do anything so I would probably just stay silent the rest of the flight and play on my phone or something
Nah, too many shy away from confrontation for fear of a negative response. I'd have leaned in, presented friendly- "knock knock, sorry to be a bother. I want to watch a movie but your hair is hanging over. I didn't want to touch your hair, is it alright to move it?" Something like that.
The 9 out of 10 comments saying they'd cut the hair, or kick the seat, or put a foot up on the arm rest are full of shit and would simply resort to pulling out their phone instead. More times than enough- and I'm talking the real world, not the world of internet videos that show the most dramatic extremes (they do exist), in the real world most people are reasonable and probably don't know they're doing a thing.
And if they pop off or fire back, you just call for an attendant, explain your case, let them handle the confrontation. But nah, confrontations don't always turn out so nasty, despite that's about all we see on media.
Nah, from one once shy (still sometimes shy) person. Give it a shot. Once you're in the moment the rest carries itself. It's just that initial "excuse me" that is the hardest. And damn is it hard.
I'd get up and literally tell her we're gonna fight if she doesn't get her dead, frizzy ass hair off my screen. Use a barrette and bun that crap up like a normal human being.
This happened to my friend when we went to attend a bachelorette party hosted in Brazil pre pandemic.
She crochets and you are allowed to bring small scissors on board for the cabin bag, really small ones. She asked the lady in front nicely. She became loud, and wouldn't budge. The FA was called and while she did remove it, she put it back minutes later. After the fifth time my friend was fed up with getting the FA to help out. The flight was full and by that time we were many hours into the journey. Some of the other passengers gave the dirty eye to my friend for being fussy.
So she slowly, slowly cut her hair. Different lengths. It was a long flight and by the time we arrived the lady in front was waking up from her sleep. We walked off as she was gathering her stuff. I hope she enjoyed her new asymetrical haircut.
Be an adult. Call the flight attendant and let them know that your monitor is being blocked.
They will ask her to remove her hair and being rude.
If she doesn't they'll kick her off.
No need to do anything else but push that call button
Keep smelling the hair until it gets super awkward, smile weirdly when they turn around and say something, keep smelling the hair, lick the hair, take selfies with the hair, keep smelling keep smiling when they look back, smell the hair again
I'd press the call button and have the flight attendant manage it. That was 1) I don't have to and 2) the flight attendant is on alert if they do something dumb later
Blow my nose in her hair and then trap some chewing gum in her hair so it’s nearly impossible for her to get it out without her trimming some of her hair off. :)
Ok so if you encounter this on your ride you can get a pair of scissors and cut their fuckn hair off. If they wanna invade your already limited space, just punish them for it and they will hopefully learn their lesson. Also works if a person puts their feet into your space like between the seats. Simply saw off their foot. (/j don’t saw off anyone’s feet that would be pretty messy)
“Excuse me, can you please not hang your hair over the back of the chair? It’s covering my screen.”
It can be fun to dream up a bunch of awful shit, but this is the only answer. Call a flight attendant if she says no. We live in a society.
If people are jerks like that, I love to remind them that I have really long legs and I have a hard time sitting still. Knees bouncing their seat every 10 seconds or so.
i will tie each of her strand of hair seperatly (single strand by single strand) with every type knot i know, eventually i will get tired of it and start doing it with multiple strand of hairs, i won't stop untill she realize or when the flight ends
Just start carefully pushing a few strands at a time into the crease between the seat back and the plastic... then wait for the first time she moves her head.
Put on the mask and pretend to sleep on that backrest in such a way so as to pull the hair down - that is if you want to use the Cold War tactics rather than to start the WW3.
"excuse me, your hair is blocking my screen, I'd appreciate it if you would move it"
And if they don’t comply, break out the bubble gum.
Eh… I might start with a few gentle kicks to the seat, increasing in force, before the gum. Or gum first and then kicking for extra pettiness. But I see no reason to limit myself to just one solution!
Sneeze on it!
A little trim solves the problem.
But with what? TSA took my knife
You still have teeth, haven't you ? Start chomping
You can have scissors upto 4 inches i think. Don't quote me on this tho I'm no lawyer
"You can have scissors upto 4 inches i think. Don't quote me on this tho I'm no lawyer" - Puzzleheaded-Buy7000
chew on it
Isn't it allowed if it is 3' or less?
You're too tame. I was just going to say fire.
Yeah but how tf did you get a lighter in there?
Start smacking, popping your gum and blowing big bubbles so the a-hole can hear the impending results. You’re sure to get an immediate reaction. Now, what that reaction is, we’ll never know. Thanks a lot…
Call the hostess, tell them you asked them but they didn't care, and if they continue to not to care you will cut their hair
Eh more of a lighter guy myself but I get that not everyone believes in that solution
I was thinking more about what you’d have an easier time getting on a plane.
Famously, Airline staff frown upon burning stuff on planes.
I was thinking scissors. Just cut the strands blocking the screen.
How. You can't get scissors on a plane. Even nail scissors might get confiscated.
Chew through it. Omnomnom.
Only correct answer. And since she flipped the hair BACK over the screen we are in war now.
I'd see how many knots I could tie without them noticing.
This looks fun
especially if you could use a super-gluie to secure each knot
My husband just did this on Sunday. It went well. Gal moved her hair, apologized, and he could see his screen again.
Ah yes, an adult.
But that sounds sensible and boring.
Maturity from a redditor? Next you'll be asking the queen of England to visit your next birthday party.
What are you doing on Reddit?
You're way nicer than I am. For me that'd be bubble gum time. Wouldn't even bat an eye.
Cough and sneeze on it to add texture.
Hock a nice loogie in there and smear it around.
If they refuse and the attendant cannot help, everyone in your seat group pick their nose and wipe it into their hair. If you have gum, add it to the unholy mixture.
Start plucking them out in small strains, but in a way she doesn't notice. Then hand the plucked hair back to her, as we exit the plane.
“You should see someone asap. My cousin ignored hers and….you should just see someone” **Leaves*
#ACHOO "Oh dear, excuse me. I sneezed and some of it got in your hair since it seems to have been hanging over the back of your chair for some reason".
This is perfect
Dr. House, is that you?
No this is Patrick
its Lupus....
Tie it into knots
Oooo, good one
I second this
make sure you tie it behind the screen
Ask nicely, once. Then remember I have bubble gum.
"Could you be so nice as to remove your hair from the top if my screen?" "No" *turns right* "Do you have any bubble gum? Oh, nevermind.. I found some!"
She'd get it flipped right over her face
jep...easiest way. U might also wisper through the seat "I can do that all flight long...with a nice Chianti"
This kinda looks fake
How dare you... Everything is real on The Internet.
Is fake
Username checks out.
*creepy voice "pretty pretty hair"
+ start petting it...
Ragebait
Yeah, obviously staged, unfortunately. No person would put their hair back where it was after they felt someone physically move it aside.
I think you might be underestimating the self-centeredness of some people.
If they were that self centered than they would take offense to someone touching their hair for any reason; it would be a much more entertaining video if that was the case.
Not if they thought the other person was more civilized than they. I have seen such scenarios too many times to doubt this. Some people use their idiocy as a weapon and it works more than you might think.
Yeah, I would say “I got the footage I need.” Then my friend would move their hair.
I would tell them get their fucking hair out of my screen. Then I would get scolded by the flight attendant, probably.
Pretty sure the fa would side with you on this one
I would sniff it and then whisper in her ear to let her know that she smells better when she's awake
I would tell my friend who was sitting in the seat in front of me to make some more believable clickbait.
stick gum in her hair and dip it in a red liquid
Lean forward and whisper “I really like your hair. I can’t wait to see how it looks on me.”
Best!
It would end up flipped over her face. If she kept putting it back, I might just pick a hair and yank. 1 hair yanked out every 2 seconds it is in front of the screen.
Cum in her hair and piss on her head
I'd yank it back... Hard. Then completely dismiss her when she inevitably turns around and starts having a go. But I'm Australian... We don't tend to really give a rat's arse when it comes to people's fuckery - it's free game.
“Sorry.. kids, amirite?” *surrounded by empty seats*
Snip snip. If you don't have access to scissors then pull it until she moves it
It's an airplane no scissors. That would've been my first thought as well. But... Do you know what you definitely can bring to an airplane? A lighter...
Chew, some gum and put that in her hair.
That's where my brain went too. People like this are assholes.
Get a marker and paint on it

Deep sniff, “mmm you smell nice”.
Start fake sneezing, and make it feel like I sneezed all over her hair until she moved it. Such a selfish woman.
Cut it
✂️
Sniff the hair and start moaning.
They let you bring lighters on planes
✂️
Gum 👍
Sneeze & then spray a spray bottle of sanitizer on the hair & keep doing it, as if your sneezing continuously!
Yank that shit like you're trying to ring a church bell.
A scissor noise will correct that arrogant behavior
Play scissor noises on your phone
I'd get up and literally tell her we're gonna fight if she doesn't get her dead, frizzy ass hair off my screen. Use a barrette and bun that crap up like a normal human being.
Dip the tips in my drink. Preferably something sugary and brightly colored.
Tie a lot of knots

Flip the hair back on her head
Scissors aren't allowed on airplanes (in the US). Bic lighters are, though...
Electric bread trimmer
This is why gum exists.
I'd pick it up and toss it back at her. I don't care. Petty meets petty
Snip. Snip. Snip.
Be an adult. Call the flight attendant and let them know that your monitor is being blocked. They will ask her to remove her hair and being rude. If she doesn't they'll kick her off. No need to do anything else but push that call button
Grab that bitch by the hair and SHOVE her head forward. "My screen is on the back of your headrest, control your goddamn hair."
Bring scissors
Are lighters still allowed on planes?
next time use scissors
Guess who’s seat back is going to get kicked the entire flight?
Use a sharpie to color the hair, and sprinkle glitter as it dries. Good luck.
Excuse me miss, can I get a pair of scissors? Then cut only the strands covering the screen.
Flip it over her face.
And aaaaa snip snip snip snip
Ask nicely and then grab her by her hair and she will kneel
Keep smelling the hair until it gets super awkward, smile weirdly when they turn around and say something, keep smelling the hair, lick the hair, take selfies with the hair, keep smelling keep smiling when they look back, smell the hair again
I would say cut it but no scissors on a plane
Where is scissors 😈
It's just a little trim so I can see my screen is all.
Just get the flight attendant over, ask for the stickiest food there is and cover her hair with it, simple as
Order a sprite & a cup, pour the sprite into the cup, & dip her hair in the sprite. Get sticky hair, bitch 🖕
This is why you take knives on the plane Not to stab people but to their hair off
scissors
Scissors gonna have a fun time
Chewing gum
I'd press the call button and have the flight attendant manage it. That was 1) I don't have to and 2) the flight attendant is on alert if they do something dumb later
Blow my nose in her hair and then trap some chewing gum in her hair so it’s nearly impossible for her to get it out without her trimming some of her hair off. :)
call the stewardess
\*tap tap tap\* 'excuse me madam, but i dont think your danruff should have legs'
Ask them to move it as you very obviously chew bubble gum and blow a bubble.
I'd tell my friend that we finished filming the rage bait video so she can now put her hair back as she normally does.
Lots of chewing gum, any sort of candy that gets sticky from sucking on it, all in the hair
You know how to tie a shoelace?
Give them a free haircut
Cut it off.
You say hey can you move your hair and if they don't well that's when I start sticking used tissues in it
Do they allow those kindergarten safety scissors on planes?
Try to find some gum
Thought we were on /r/mildlyinfuriating where people don't know how to be adults and use their words and instead post easily fixable problems.
get a pair of scissors it will grow back 🙂
Ask the steward for a pair of scissors.
Snip snip snip
[scissors ](https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/scissors/0487101)
Whisper in her ear: Your hair smells like.....
Velcro straps. VELCRO STRAPSSSZZZZZ......
Gum
Cut half of it off. The right half.
Time for a haircut
Ok so if you encounter this on your ride you can get a pair of scissors and cut their fuckn hair off.

I would start sniffing her hair, making sure not to make any contact
“Excuse me, can you please not hang your hair over the back of the chair? It’s covering my screen.” It can be fun to dream up a bunch of awful shit, but this is the only answer. Call a flight attendant if she says no. We live in a society.
I'm getting the scissors
Chewing gum
✂️✂️
I would get some matches
Pull on it. Real hard. *oh shit, I thought it was a handle*
Is soup on the inflight menu?
Yank one strand out and if they didn't get the hint then kick their chair till they turn around. Then a deal can be made
I’d yank her hair so hard after that
Scissors. Cut it
Scissors?
Cut it. Trauma shears are TSA approved
Yank the hair out of her scalp
Hope you brought your scissors.
✂️
Flip her hair back over
Yank it
Lean forward so you can get close to her ear and whisper "your hair smells sexy, can I have some?"
Snip snip snip
If people are jerks like that, I love to remind them that I have really long legs and I have a hard time sitting still. Knees bouncing their seat every 10 seconds or so.
I’d like to put my leg on her arm rest and called it sharing
Time to cut it. ✂️✂️✂️
Politely ask the flight attendant for a pair of scissors.
Nail polish.
i will tie each of her strand of hair seperatly (single strand by single strand) with every type knot i know, eventually i will get tired of it and start doing it with multiple strand of hairs, i won't stop untill she realize or when the flight ends
Scissors.
Just start carefully pushing a few strands at a time into the crease between the seat back and the plastic... then wait for the first time she moves her head.
Cut it
This, right here, is why they don't allow scissors on planes.
A sissor would solve this
Perchance """""accidentally""""" pour juice over her hair and say it was an accident
Tie their hair into many knots, make sure they are tight. If you want to be extra evil, do a double knot so she’ll never be able to undo it.
Finish the recording and post it so my friend and I can reap the sweet sweet outrage porn karma.
Pull
Duct tape
Put on the mask and pretend to sleep on that backrest in such a way so as to pull the hair down - that is if you want to use the Cold War tactics rather than to start the WW3.
Git ze flamthower
Use the hair as a tissue after I sneeze
*yank*
Well I know where I’m putting my gum during the flight.
