A tired woman wanted to avoid a fight after being touched by the plane passenger sitting behind her, but what she realized two hours later left her cracking up.
On a redeye flight from Palm Beach International Airport in Florida to New York, Instagram user @curly_travel_magic kept feeling a passenger behind her kicking her feet. She let it slide the first two times it happened to avoid a confrontation. However, a third time started to put her over the edge.
“I did get just a little upset after the third touch,” she told Newsweek via TikTok. “But I never thought of kicking back. I wanted to avoid a fight.”
Each time she was touched, she kept wondering how someone could have such long toes or feet. But with the lights off on the night flight, she couldn’t see. Curiosity finally got the best of her.
She turned on her phone flashlight during the last few minutes of the flight to discover not a person kicking her, but a dog. Stunned and frankly relieved, she started filming and posted her realization in a June 6 Instagram video.
The dog’s head poked out from under her seat with his snoot by her heels. This finally explained the wetness she felt. Being the good boy he was, he kept quiet the entire trip. She couldn’t resist saying hello, so she gently tapped his head.
Thinking back, the situation could’ve ended worse. She wrote in the text on the video that she was glad she didn’t lose her temper when she originally thought a person was not respecting flight etiquette.
What Do the Comments Say?
Instagram viewers immediately expressed their jealousy, wondering why they never get great seatmates like this dog. The clip reached more than 589,000 views and 13,700 likes as of Thursday.
“Oh wow, I’ll have those slimy feet any time. Beautiful little guy,” commented one person.
Another added: “I’m not a dog person, but I’d rather have a doggy there than somebody’s feet.”
A third pointed out: “You must have regretted knowing this late.” The original poster responded that she would have cuddled the dog more if she had known sooner.
