A man has sparked a debate about airplane etiquette after revealing a mother yelled at him for watching an R-rated movie on his phone that made her son cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old, who kept his identity anonymous, opened up about his awkward in-flight interaction with the angry passenger in a post shared on Reddit’s ‘Am I The A**hole?’ forum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The teen explained that he was flying to visit his parents and had a few movies downloaded on his smartphone, including Deadpool 2, the 2018\u00a0superhero movie starring Ryan Reynolds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘I was watching it on my phone with headphones in, when the part where Deadpool gets ripped in half happens, and I can hear a (muffled) scream behind me,’ he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A 19-year-old man revealed on Reddit’s ‘Am I The A**hole?’ forum that a mother yelled at him for watching an R-rated movie on a flight that made her son cry (stock image)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He explained that he was watching Deadpool 2 (pictured) and was unaware that the boy who was seated behind him was looking at his screen until he burst into tears\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I take out my headphones and there’s a little kid behind me, crying. He had positioned himself in a way that he could watch my screen and had watched him get torn.’<\/p>\n Not only was the child upset, but the boy’s mother blamed the man for watching the R-rated movie on his personal device.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Is it wrong to watch an R-rated movie near a child on a flight? <\/p>\n Is it wrong to watch an R-rated movie near a child on a flight? <\/p>\n Now share your opinion<\/p>\n ‘His mom got mad at me and yelled that I shouldn’t be watching that kind of thing, especially in front of children,’ he recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘But I wasn’t aware anyone was watching me, and that kid would have had to force himself into that weird position to see my phone screen.’\u00a0<\/p>\n The man later edited his post to explain that it was a six-hour afternoon flight, and the child in question was about six years old or younger.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I honestly don’t know if the mom noticed [him watching my screen] and just let it slide until it backfired on her,’ he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Reddit user ended his post by asking if he was in the wrong for watching an R-rated movie on the flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘So, am I an a**hole?’ he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The majority of commenters sided with him, insisting that parents have no right to dictate what other passengers watch during a flight<\/p>\n The majority of commenters sided with him, insisting that parents have no right to dictate what other passengers watch during a flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n Many also agreed that the mother was at fault because she should have been keeping an eye on her son.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘She should’ve watched her own kid. She was happy he was occupied [until] it backfired and decided to shift the blame,’ one person responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I\u2019m a parent and I hate parents like that. No one else is responsible for what your kid watches,’ another shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n Some people pointed out that the child wasn’t seated next to him, but others argued that it shouldn’t matter where he was on the flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I\u2019m seeing a lot of comments saying “well if the kid was next to him\u2026” \u2026 if the kid was next to him, behind him, 7 o’clock, it doesn\u2019t matter. Kids and people with kids don’t get to police anything,’ one user stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n The man explained in the comments that his unpleasant interaction with the mother was swiftly diffused by a flight attendant.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I’m not really a confrontational person, so I didn’t tell her much more than the reasoning I gave,’ he wrote. ‘Plus, since there was yelling, a flight attendant came and after a bit of talking, that was the end of the situation.’\u00a0<\/p>\nPoll<\/span><\/h2>\n
