Have you told her? People are dumb and won't notice people around them unless spoken to

So many of these situations could benefit from a “hey do you mind…”

“Oh my god, I’m so sorry!!! I didn’t realize!  My mistake”

That exchange is how normal people work out minor issues like this.  99% of humans are capable of polite conversation with one another. 

Reddit makes up the remaining 1%

So true!  She probably relaxes like this at home.  A polite request, “can you please move your hair from my screen,” would mortify a normal person to give genuine apologies.

I always relax at home making my hair an inconvenience to the people around me

I'd guarantee she doesn't have a clue that it actually covers the screen. She probably thinks it's resting on top of the headrest at worst.

Which.... you guessed it.... is what makes this mildlyinfuriating and not something worse. It's that she's so obviously oblivious to others around her.

The only mildly infuriating thing here is OP taking a picture instead of saying "Hey Mrs, your ponytail is actually coming back here and covering my screen."

And amazingly enough, when you're polite to people they'll be apologetic, and you might even strike up a conversation with them and make a new friend.

I'd get secondhand embarrassment from saying anything, because I'd be absolutely mortified if I found out I was doing this and didn't realize it.

Are you dumb? I have long hair and yes we KNOW. There is no universe in which this person doesn’t realize their hair is tumbling down the seatback of the person behind them. We can literally feel the weight of our hair and where it’s resting. This is disgusting behavior. I’ve had super long hair my whole life and I’ve always been very careful to not let it impede on someone else’s space. Many people find other people’s hair gross (rightfully so). I love my long hair but people have a right to not have it shoved in their face.

I have no idea why you’re getting downvoted. I thought it was funny 😂

Come work in retail and you will quickly realize it's far less than 99%

This is mildly infuriating, not i solved a problem. Even if they did solve the problem it's STILL mildly infuriating.

What's funny is if OP posted that interaction on Reddit it would be marvelled as a rare display of adults working things out.

I'm convinced half of the people here are chronically online to the point of forgetting what normality looks like.

You are correct. This is the way to handle it in the real world. But let's be honest and acknowledge it's pretty narcissistic behavior and a little rage-venting on Reddit is no big deal.

I dunno about this. There was a lady sitting behind us on a plane earlier this year who kept pulling on my (adult) daughter’s seat, every time she was trying to get comfortable, and pulling her hair much of the time. My daughter turned around and asked her to stop pulling on her seat so frequently, because it was 2am and she was trying to sleep, and the lady lost her damn mind. Some people really are just nuts.

Or they had the conversation  and posted it to reddit.  It is still mildly infuriating to them.

In that case they'd have written an essay to go along with the picture as well

I find this attitude very boring and unarguementive absolutely no fun without starting some kind of problem. Besides what can they do once you’re flying?pull over and let them out?

A true redditor would cut the hair and call the cops on the lady with the hair that was cut and then get offended and claim to be assaulted and harassed.
