A woman has divided social media users over her laid-back reaction to a toddler hitting her arm on a flight.
Flights, especially long-haul ones, can be difficult for very young children. Toddlers are typically energetic, get bored easily, and have no qualms about throwing temper tantrums when things aren't quite going their way.
Let's face it, we've all been on a flight with mischievous children who just can't seem to sit still in their seats.
But one particular passenger has divided the internet with her reaction to a toddler who repeatedly tapped her on the arm.
Taking to TikTok in November 2020, the passenger in question, Kara, posted a video of the incident.
Check out the video here:In the short clip, Kara and a male friend can be seen laughing hysterically as a young child sitting behind them reaches round to tap Kara's arm.
Kara captioned the video: "Her name was Adeline and I hope her mom sees this."
Needless to say, plenty of people were overjoyed to see Kara's lighthearted reaction to the child's curiosity.
One person shared: "As a mom of a toddler and 4 year old, I THANK you for your reaction. It's always a relief when others are not bothered by crazy toddler actions."
Another said: "Love it! As a mom of grown kids, I'm so appreciative of your great attitude about this."
A third wrote alongside three red heart emojis: "You guys are too cool about this. I would've lost it. I need to learn from you saints!!!"
However, not everyone was so amused by the video and felt that it was an invasion of personal space.
One person said: "That's not funny."
Another said: "No thank you....let the parents know."
A different person wrote: "Touching strangers without their permission? Growing up to assault people. Ok."
A final commenter shared: "You guys have patience, I'd have whacked that hand away within seconds and she wouldn't have done it again."
How would you have reacted? Let us know in the comments!
