Ew! Here’s a lesson in where NOT to put your ponytail when on a plane
The screaming baby, the sweaty man who reefs his shoes off the second he sits down, the woman who spreads herself and her belongings over her seat AND yours… There are a whole variety of awful passengers you can meet on a plane.
But one traveller came face-to-face (or face-to-ponytail) with the creme de la creme of dire flying buddies recently, after sitting down in his seat to be presented with this:

Eh, oblivious much?!
"Congrats to the ponytailed young woman in seat 22B," wrote the unfortunate soul, a man named Dante Ramos.
"You've invented a whole new way to be awful at 35,000 feet."

After "marvelling for a bit at her obliviousness," Dante, a columnist with the Boston Globe, got the woman's attention and finally found himself with a view unobstructed by a stranger's ponytail.
For the record: After marveling for a bit at her obliviousness, we got her attention. She moved it. https://t.co/qalACLcFUr

For the record, this kind of madness happens on other forms of transport too, as evidenced by our Deputy Ed Paula's experience en route to Limerick last year:

Honestly, aren't people just the WORST?
