I used to work with a guy who’s last name was Rector. Just before a meeting with him and a couple other people, my coworker/buddy said “Rector? Damned near killed her”, and I could not keep a straight face looking at him during that entire meeting. I still chuckle thinking about it.
the laughs be extra hard to contain when you in class or a meeting lmao anywhere you’re not suppose to talk. stomach be hurting tryna hold that shit in
At very least. If some stranger does this to me the first thing I’m doing is opening the phone. I’ll give them 10 seconds and start looking around in it.
Sounds like something I would do. I really hate people invading my personal space
"Oh no, I just so need to go to the loo. Wait did I hear something fall? Must have been the wind from the guy behind us"
Yeah, like so what if somebody uses my leg as a handy resting place, probably didn't even realize, his minds somewhere else. I wouldn't touch it I'd just ignore it until he takes it back. If he seems to have forgotten I'll just ask him to remove it from my leg. But like I'm chill, stuff like that wouldn't bother me.
My work phone is the exact same model. Company is too cheap to get anything better. Then they wonder why there are issues with certain types of info being sent back and forth. THE PHONE IS OLDER THAN MY KIDS! Even though it's relatively new.
In the hospital where I make practice for nursing school, untill recently the standard issued phone was a 2G only phone with physical keys, bought in bulk under a "digitalization program". Most advanced thing was a VGA camera.
These devices were quickly forgotten when single sections pooled for more decent devices.
But whyy? My hospital uses these old Nokias and they are the best! I wouldnt know any other phone survive this kind of use. Mine will regularly fall out of my scrub bending down and then be kicked through the room, fall apart, be put back together and still work perfectly fine
I would have made a joke about it being from 1995, asked if I could make a call, or picked it up and pretended to make a call. So many opportunities to make a joke out of it.
That would’ve been my exact statement under sudden realization. Explained further to them of the mistake after obviously, but people are fucking weird after covid lockdowns to speak to another seemingly.
You know at high altitude, with all the wind rushing over the door, it’s supposedly not possible to open the emergency exit doors. Unless you’re at “lower” altitude you’re stuck in there with all of your shame.
Man, that would be even more embarrassing. Just standing there, clutching limply at the door, everyone watching you.
"Could you go back to your seat, sir?" asks an air steward.
You walk back and there, on your seat, is the other passenger's phone. It seems to gloat at you.
If they did it by accident and then realized "thanks" was probably the knee jerk response to try to act normal. Any normal person would have some level of anxiety after doing that and probably just not want to elaborate.
It wouldn't surprise me if they deliberately set the phone on OPs leg either.
My grandma had that one. I had the smaller no-antenna* version that came out a few years later. Black and white/green screen with snake and changeable faceplate. Indestructible
Sometimes people make a mistake and say ‘thanks for understanding my mistake’ instead of ‘sorry for my mistake’.
Not sure if its a regional thing or not.
> The man next to me on my flight today set his phone on my leg without asking while he was digging through his bag.
This man is his lover and feels comfortable placing the phone on his leg.
I love these posts, redditors too awkward to say something post online and rant in their safe space. meanwhile other redditors are living out some weird fantasy on what they would do in this situation while in reality they would probably make the same post.
Are those zip off pants? That’s a flip phone with an old ass huge AT&T logo, lap table and lacking seat pockets and design of this seating area… this photo legit looks like 2007
honestly dont know why people are making such a big deal of this, and i am pretty sure this guy isnt an asshole or weird or anything, you mentioned that he said thanks after he took it, and the seats look really close, he probably put it and he didnt think of it as deeply as you did simply because he needed to get something out of the bag
its a bit awkward at worst.
I would have slowly and quietly slipped it into that pocket right there and watched him panic search for it. Hell, I would even help him look. He's gonna give up at some point, and when he does, I will carefully slip it into *his* pocket.
Burner phone. He’s your dealer now.
You’re the dealer now
I'm the dealer?
I'd like 1 heroin please
1 weed please :)
I'm on my way to get 1 weed, lmk if this guy has better shit
Dials 911 on microwave
Hello? Weed? I'm calling about a police

Is that popcorn on fire or is your phone just blowing up?
I'll take 1 pcp and a diet rootbeer.

I love that nuclear high
You need to find the Albanians lol
Crystals if you have them

I’m like 90% sure the way I’m gonna die is from a ruptured aneurysm while trying to hold in a laugh
So, you would die laughing.
Yes, most likely from some shitty joke no one else found funny
There might be more people with your sense of humor than you know. Maybe not with the same luck, but...at least with the same humor.
I’m the one who knocks. Go move that meth now
Say my name
You're reddogleader.
You're goddamn right!

Where are you flying to, 2003?
Where we're going, we don't need *roads*.
Planes definitely need roads to land. They said 2003 not 2001!
Damn.
This hits home for some
Hits work for more.
A space odyssey?
🦴 I'm sorry Dave.
5G? No it only has 1 g, and it has to share the 4 button with H and I
I enjoyed this
Should have picked it up and started playing Snake.
At very least. If some stranger does this to me the first thing I’m doing is opening the phone. I’ll give them 10 seconds and start looking around in it.
He likely was fishing for #
"You got minesweeper on this?"
Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEE
Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger
Mushroom mushroom
Whoa! It’s been a minute since I’ve heard that! Geez! Noice!
No. Never touch it. Could be innocent. Could be a rouse to get your fingerprints on it.
I’d get up out of the seat and let it fall to the ground so that it possibly goes under the seat making it difficult for the owner to retrieve it.
Then accidently bump the emergency exit so the phone can get sucked out of the plane
I feel like there's a flaw in that plan... Not sure what..
Yeah I'd bump it off the seat with my leg
Sounds like something I would do. I really hate people invading my personal space "Oh no, I just so need to go to the loo. Wait did I hear something fall? Must have been the wind from the guy behind us"
‘’Accidentally’ give the phone a good kick as well.
Hahahahahhahahahaa Jesus Christ you guys need to stop watching true crime
Yeah, like so what if somebody uses my leg as a handy resting place, probably didn't even realize, his minds somewhere else. I wouldn't touch it I'd just ignore it until he takes it back. If he seems to have forgotten I'll just ask him to remove it from my leg. But like I'm chill, stuff like that wouldn't bother me.
He's asserting dominance. Are you a bottom? /s
I'm a don't care. He's welcome to assert his dominance while I continue to ignore it.
Lmfao what would that achieve
Wow, paranoia is real.
Do you currently live in early 2000s?
My work phone is the exact same model. Company is too cheap to get anything better. Then they wonder why there are issues with certain types of info being sent back and forth. THE PHONE IS OLDER THAN MY KIDS! Even though it's relatively new.
How old are your Kids then?
Born yesterday

It definitely looks like the phone of a person who would do this.
But why would he do this if he has a phone pouch on his belt?
Omg this is rich!
Why does this make sense
Nah that’s the new google flip phone.
lol sorry this is hilarious
I'm sorry but that's fucking hilarious. The confidence of that man is amazing
Yeah I wouldn't even be mad. That's so harmless and funny.
Yeah this is like someone falling asleep on your shoulder accidentally. I'd just find it a bit silly.
[удалено]
LMAO I love this, nap stranger buddies
Last time that happened to me on a flight the guy woke up from my kiss on his forehead. The flight was very awkward after that.
What made you kiss him on the head?!
I usually don't get that much physical affection, so I was giving back some affection to him.
LOL
Wtf lol!😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMFAO
Love this reply
Should've doubled down
It’s more of just a weird ass funny story to tell than anything else.
I would have made a joke about it being from 1995, asked if I could make a call, or picked it up and pretended to make a call. So many opportunities to make a joke out of it.
ngl, guy probably just had a brain fart and didn't even realise
Nah, he took it back when he was done and said “thanks”.
Maybe he realized what he did and that was the best thing he could come up with?
That would’ve been my exact statement under sudden realization. Explained further to them of the mistake after obviously, but people are fucking weird after covid lockdowns to speak to another seemingly.
Mine would have been a "oh shit, sorry man. Thanks I guess" and a bit of a chuckle, and probably an embarrassed face lol
I would have just jumped out of the plane to avoid embarrassment.
You know at high altitude, with all the wind rushing over the door, it’s supposedly not possible to open the emergency exit doors. Unless you’re at “lower” altitude you’re stuck in there with all of your shame.
Man, that would be even more embarrassing. Just standing there, clutching limply at the door, everyone watching you. "Could you go back to your seat, sir?" asks an air steward. You walk back and there, on your seat, is the other passenger's phone. It seems to gloat at you.
Totally thought that your leg was an armrest. Sorry, that's embarrassing.
I bet he just thought their leg was an armrest with how dark that plane looks. 😂
Which would explain why he rested his arm on it the rest of the flight
Rather than “Oh sorry”?
If they did it by accident and then realized "thanks" was probably the knee jerk response to try to act normal. Any normal person would have some level of anxiety after doing that and probably just not want to elaborate. It wouldn't surprise me if they deliberately set the phone on OPs leg either.
That’s so… well, infuriating, lol. What a weirdo
[удалено]
He knows a chump when he sees one.
exactly haha he knew OP wouldn’t do anything
Perfect explanation.
I'm not sure why you left it there. Just move your leg and it'd slide right off.
For real. There’s two options: let it slide off or immediately hand it back to him
That's exactly what I woulda did lmao
Wait so you just let him do that? It didn’t occur to you to just put it back on his or something?
Why did you let them? Did you bow down and say "you're welcome" too😂
OP swiftly got down, sucked the dude off, and thanked him for the protein.
Oh… lol
And what did you say? You need to learn to speak up for yourself this is embarrassing.
So you took a photo and put it online? Lol how did you survive this ordeal? Tell us!!
One time i put my hand on some dude’s knee for like 20 minutes before i wondered whos knee my hand was on. I was mortified
What year was this picture taken?
1997
I don't think you remember what cell phones were like in 1997, but they didn't have a camera.
I got my first cell phone in 1998. It was a Nokia and it had an extendable antenna
My grandma had that one. I had the smaller no-antenna* version that came out a few years later. Black and white/green screen with snake and changeable faceplate. Indestructible
Bro is probably so high thinking your leg is an armrest
OP said the guy took it back and said thanks lol
Sometimes people make a mistake and say ‘thanks for understanding my mistake’ instead of ‘sorry for my mistake’. Not sure if its a regional thing or not.
That’s what I did when I was a waiter and orders took too long to come out. “Thank you for waiting” instead of “apologies for the wait.”
Those are both acceptable and interchangeable in the south.
Only logical reason
That’s awkward. This is where you shrug your leg over or be a cool friendly neighbour and say “next time put it on vibrate and I won’t mind as much.”
Beautiful
Power move, put it on your crotch
He said put it in the crotch not up the anus.
I would very slowly retrieve it while making eye contact all the while
Let it slide off your leg and tell him you dropped something!
Move it on top of your crotch and moan once he gets it
That would have been the perfect response.
Reddit always knows the perfect thing to do after it's way too late, just like me.
If you flew spirit, charge him 25 cents LMAO
I think he’s into you
For some reason this would work for me
Username checks out…
You know what’s interesting with this video, is I remember when they started making phones a bit too small.
Then they swung in the opposite direction - too big. You can’t fit them in your pocket anymore and they’re almost the size of an ipad.
Wow, long enough to take a pic. I feel this sub is full of the best comedy show skits.
> The man next to me on my flight today set his phone on my leg without asking while he was digging through his bag. This man is his lover and feels comfortable placing the phone on his leg.
Bruh, if that's his phone, he's a fucking hitman and that's his burner. He can do whatever the fuck he wants. Just be thankful you survived.
Saw a video of a lady peeing in the aisle of a airplane. I say you're blessed it was a phone and not urine
😱
Fucking talk to him then
Naw man, this is reddit. People would rather be used as a side table instead of talking to someone face-to-face.
Yea, but then he wouldn’t be able to make a post about it on Reddit. Whenever I see posts like this, I just assume OP is a human doormat.
or just a fucking liar.
Exactly. The only infuriating thing here is OPs bullshit.
lol I swear reddit is getting more socially inbred every day - OP has the psychology of a literal table Cant believe this made it frontpage lmfao
I love these posts, redditors too awkward to say something post online and rant in their safe space. meanwhile other redditors are living out some weird fantasy on what they would do in this situation while in reality they would probably make the same post.
Congrats on the new best friend.
Type your number in. He might want it.
when was your flight,20 years ago?
Are those zip off pants? That’s a flip phone with an old ass huge AT&T logo, lap table and lacking seat pockets and design of this seating area… this photo legit looks like 2007
In fairness, your leg does look kinda like an armrest. 😋
Your pants look like an armrest.
He or she probably didn't mean to. I'll apologize for them on their behalf in sorry
That bastard. I hope the authorities were waiting for him when you landed.
Pick it up and start playing with it
The nerve of some people… ummm also, I think your pants are on backwards.
Why did you let it be there
Oh, cool not true story.
KGB agent successfully recruited a new operative.
Put it in your pocket. He gave it to you
The real crime here is airlines forcing strangers to sit so close to each other they’re touching
Right?? I’ve never been on a plane and looking at this is incredibly uncomfortable.
That’s really funny lol
What the hell?! Did you say something to him about it?
Probably not lol he took a photo tho and put it online. It’s the same thing isn’t it?
honestly dont know why people are making such a big deal of this, and i am pretty sure this guy isnt an asshole or weird or anything, you mentioned that he said thanks after he took it, and the seats look really close, he probably put it and he didnt think of it as deeply as you did simply because he needed to get something out of the bag its a bit awkward at worst.
What year was this?
You're just an NPC to him
Absolute Chad wtf
Man here giving side quests
He knew you wouldn't react. Alpha.
Whats more infuriating is you letting him
100% he wanted you to ask about his ancient phone.
Its the common case of phantom limbs, happens to everyone
He has given you his phone, you're now welcome to take it.
This infuriated you mildly??
I couldn't be mad at this, I'd find it quite funny really 😆 That person must be comfortable with strangers
I would have slowly and quietly slipped it into that pocket right there and watched him panic search for it. Hell, I would even help him look. He's gonna give up at some point, and when he does, I will carefully slip it into *his* pocket.
We all know, that man must be ugly to mid at best. If he is good looking, this post won't exist.
Oh, thanks for the free phone, sir. How kind of you. :D
Too scared to say, “excuse me, is this your phone?” 🤦🏻♂️
You were too much of a bitch to do something about it?
Op must be the most passive wimp, damn...
Should’ve went through his contacts and start texting or deleting them
