Flights, when you find yourself next to children, can be tricky for some passengers. There’s no knowing when a little child might get overexcited and start acting up, no matter how sweet they are. A video shared by Instagram account passengershaming has captured one such child. The clip shows the toddler using the seat tray table as a dance mat.
The Instagram video – filmed from across the aisle – shows the tot as she stands on the tray table.
She clings on to the headrest of the seat in front as she hops from foot to foot.
The tray can be seen moving underneath her weight yet doesn’t break thanks to her tiny size.
No one near her appears to be stopping her from bouncing around on the table.
She is standing on the plastic in bare feet which could be incredibly unhygienic for whoever sits in the seat after her.
To make matters worse, her movement is shaking the seat in front of her.
A man in a white shirt is sitting there and he can be seen rocking in the seat as she jiggles the headrest.
Incredibly, however, the male passenger doesn’t seem to object to the shaking.
He sits patiently in his seat as the little child performs her dance.
Instagram users have praised the man for not displaying any frustration at the ordeal.
“That man has more patience than the entire world combined. Wow. I would like to be that unbothered for the rest of my life,” one person commented.
“Dude in front of her has the patience of a Saint because I would have gone off on her parents. Not her though. She’s just living her best life,” another added.
A third person wrote on the Instagram post: “I’m getting aggravated just watching this.”
Sometimes parents appear to actively encourage controversial plane etiquette with their children.
One photo shared by the Instagram account showed a mother with her child using a potty in the middle of a plane aisle.
Shocked Instagram users urged parents to use the lavatory rather than a potty in the post.
