A travel blogger has slammed a “reckless” passenger for draping her hair over the back of a seat during a three-hour flight.
At the end of last year, 32-year-old Julie Christensen from Norway traveled from Athens to Amsterdam to visit her family.
But shortly after taking her seat on the 8am flight, the blogger was stunned when the woman in front of her threw her long brown hair over her seat.
The stranger’s long curls covered almost the entire back of the chair and even reached the end of Julie’s table.
Outraged by the stranger’s actions, the blogger made a short video in which she tried to use her tablet during the flight.
Julie boarded a plane from Athens to Amsterdam late last year. She was stunned when the woman in front of her draped her long hair over the back of the chair
The video, which has been viewed more than six million times on TikTok, shows Julie trying to get her hair out of the way as she gets her drink.
She then wrote next to the clip: “Wish it was staged.”
After getting off the plane, Julie captioned the message: “The joy of travel.”
Julie urged others not to copy the woman, using the hashtags “#omgpleasedont”, “#lol” and #traveletiquette.
Speaking to local news outlet u105, Julie said she and the man sitting next to her thought it was funny at first.
She explained: “I thought about saying something but I was so tired so I just laughed it off.” Then so much time passed that it felt like it was too late to say anything else.’
Fortunately, Julie said she still had plenty of leg room and couldn’t help but admire the woman’s “beautiful” hair.
She added: “Keep your hair to yourself, that’s my general travel advice – especially if you’ve brushed it so well!”
Julie told local news outlet u105 that she was too embarrassed to ask the woman to move her hair because “too much time had passed”.
Julie’s video has been viewed over six million times on TikTok. She wrote in the clip: “Wish it was staged.”
The video received more than 204,000 “likes” and viewers were surprised that she did not say anything to the woman.
One replied: “Close your table and let them try to move.” Another added: “Just start dipping your hair in the drink!”
“Some people just don’t consider others,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fifth said, “Why are you so afraid of pulling your hair?”
However, others said they would address Julie in the same way.
“You mustn’t tell her,” said a sixth. “You ought to know better!
“People just forget how to behave as soon as they enter an airport,” mused a seventh.
Another shared her own experience saying: “This happened to me! I asked her (teen) not to do it, she kept doing it so I told her mum. Mum laughed at me .So I asked the staff, she stopped.
