1. I always carry a small pair of nail scissors. However, I would ask her/him to remove the hair first.

2. So which camp are you in?

   Say “excuse me”
   Pull the hair
   Scissors
   Dip it in coffee
   Gum

   Gary, shame on you, the last 4 of these 5 options are criminal acts.

   “Excuse me, your hair is draped over my TV.” -> 95% of the time solves the problem.

   “Could you please keep your hair on your side of the seat?” -> handles the 4% of the autism spectrum that needs such a direct ask.

   If these don’t work, pretend your TV is broken and find another way to pass the time in flight.

3. Frankly I’d ignore it. I don’t use the tray and it wouldn’t bother me. If it became an issue, I’d ask her to remove it. If that didn’t work, then ask the flight attendant. Last resort, yank it every 10-15 seconds until she gets the message.

4. Cut it!!

5. I wouldn’t allow that for long one way or the other. People are unbelievably rude. I’d likely ask flight attendant and then if no help things are going to go downhill. I’d ask the person first though, nicely. Then if they don’t remedy, especially if rude and not so nice I’d be torn between gum and pulling it. If I did both I’d get busted so I’d be smart enough to do one or the other and i’d annoy her into removing it or feel smug and laugh on how po’d she be when she discovered a nice wad of gum worked into it. Covertly. Hopefully no witness near me-in seats in my row. Don’t think i’d do the gum if anyone could see. I’d rather not do anything, just resolve, but allowing bad behavior encourages more of it. I’d be doing future passengers a great favor. She’d think again before doing again if gum was in use!

6. I would put my gum in her hair and dip those split ends in my coffee. What a disgusting person.

7. Find a kid with some colorful markers. Ask kindly if you might use them for a few minutes! Return them quickly and quietly.

8. I mostly agree with SFO/EWR…in that I would NEVER, ever touch another person’s body (e.g., in this case, hair). I would, however, try the “adult thing,” and get out of my seat, come around into direct eye contact, bend down or get to the level of the seated passenger, and kindly explain (I still believe politeness helps) the issue. If that did not resolve it, I would (unlike SFO/EWR) involve the FA in order to get the person to move the hair or find me another seat. If nothing availed me to resolve, I would, indeed, keep my peace for the duration of the flight, but most definitely raise it in no uncertain terms to Customer Service post-flight.

9. Coffee or gum or practice boy scout knots or tie to the little tab holding tray in place. Her hair is there, it’s mine.

10. Light it on fire.
    Not really. Just pull her hair every 15 seconds.

11. I’d flip it right back over on her side and tell her to keep it there.

12. I would point it out nicely and then politely ask if they would move their hair. The first inkling of a problem I would stop talking, push the flight attendant call button and return to my seat. I am an adult and I want to give other people the chance to be an adult. You have to think some of these ppl just don’t know. Maybe it’s a freeing position to be in and have your outrageous hair in a different position

    Really I just fly First, partially to avoid the problem here (cabin density).

    I am also not interested in people who have a really extreme gendered expression in their hair. Very long hair is weird and should be shunned. Who are these people – Shakers? It’s 2024.

13. SFO is a soi boy beta cuck as expected.

    What I would NOT do is be a like a weak passive aggressive influencer and only complain about it after the fact on SM. That hair is coming down. If not voluntarily then I’ll remove it.
