This flight had no turbulence, but plenty of chaos, courtesy of one tiny passenger.
A TikTok user going by “Pale and Interesting” has gone viral after sharing her nightmare in-flight experience with an unruly toddler she dubbed Spencer. According to her, the child managed to turn an ordinary trip into what felt like an endurance test at 30,000 feet.
Seat-kicking, tray-slamming, yogurt-smearing
The drama began when little Spencer started kicking the seat in front of him, before moving on to more advanced disruptions, repeatedly slamming the tray table, tapping her arm, and even standing on the seat, nearly headbutting her.
And where was Mom? According to the TikTokker, not really doing much. The mother did tell Spencer to stop a few times and even handed over a yogurt, but things only got messier from there. The tot ended up spilling it on the seat and rubbing his hands in it.
The frustrated flyer, who is a mom herself, said she was shocked by the lack of effort to entertain or calm the child, pointing out that Spencer had no toys, books, or distractions. Eventually, she stepped in to calm him down herself, but as soon as she stopped, the antics started right back up.
Internet takes sides
The video ignited a heated debate online. Many sympathized with the flyer. “Just sh-t parenting plain and simple,” one commenter wrote. “Not the kid’s fault at all, but he’s not going to learn if he’s not corrected.”
Others defended the mom, accusing the TikTokker of being overly judgmental. “You bunch of judgmental busybodies!!! You witnessed a couple of hours out of their life!!” one user fired back.
