An air traveler recently captured on video multiple moments when a fellow passenger reached across her seat to take photos of the sky.
Fanny Gagnon OāDonnell was traveling on a flight from Spain to Germany where she was seated in the window seat.
She told Storyful that her travel experience was going well until the person sitting next to her proceeded to cross into her space for the entirety of the flight.
āEvery 20 minutes or so he would shove his arm in front of me and take pictures of the clouds,ā Gagnon OāDonnell told the outlet.

In the video, Gagnon OāDonnell can be seen sitting calmly as the other passenger reaches across her seat space.
Gagnon OāDonnell explained that she thought it was ācuteā onĀ the first occasionĀ but became annoyed as it continued to happen three to four more times before she closed the window abruptly.
That, however, did not deter the flight neighbor, Gagnon OāDonnell said.
From there, Gagnon OāDonnell said her seat neighbor would tap her on the shoulder and ask her to reopen the window throughoutĀ the flightĀ to take more pictures.

Gagnon OāDonnellās TikTok video has garnered nearly 5 million views, and some social media comments show solidarity and frustration.
One user wrote, āMy anger issues could never.ā
Another said, āIt happened to me a month ago when I was flying from Madrid to Paris and the girl did it like 3-4 times. I closed it, putĀ my AirPodsĀ [in] and ignored her.ā
Others, however, said maybe it was the passengerāsĀ first time flying.
āItās not that bad. Just let him take a pic. Heās excited [and] itās cute,ā one TikTok user commented.

Another said, āImagine itās someoneās first time flying though.ā
Rosalinda Randall, a California-based etiquette expert and trainer, told Fox News Digital via email that sitting in the window seat can have its perks.
āYou have something to lean against which is comfortable for sleeping as well as not being squished by the bulkier middle seat passenger. It also makes you in charge of the window shade, which does require courtesy and consideration,ā she said.
Randall said she gives Gagnon OāDonnell āpropsā for her attitude toward the intrusive passenger.
āI agree with her initial decision of allowing the photographer to shoot his videos a few times throughout the flight,ā she said, adding, āWhile he may not have picked up on it, or chosen to ignore it, there are some social cues that she could have applied.ā

Randall said the window seat passenger could have āexaggerated a lean-backā or āleaned forward to look out the window herself.ā
She said Gagnon OāDonnell could have also lowered the window shade half-way or offered to take the photos forĀ the passenger.
Randall said passengers in similar situations can also say something to the intrusive passenger, such as, āExcuse me, itās a bit disturbing when you continue reach over.ā Or, āGo ahead and take a few photos, but then Iād like to be able to relax.ā
She added, āNaturally, we cannot anticipate anyoneās reaction. But having civilly and clearly expressed our request without compliance, itās time to call for assistance.ā
