Woman demands answers after unknown man performs strange act on her while she slept during flight

Weird doesn't really cut it... this wouldn't be OK in any situation

A woman on TikTok has spoken out at being befuddled after a man sat behind her performed a rather bizarre and intrusive act during a flight.

A Virginia woman took to social media to demand an explanation from an unknown man who decided to get a little handsy during a flight.

TikTok user Danielle, (@real.danieb), has gone viral with a video detailing an odd incident that happened while she slept on an early morning American Airlines flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles.

The man sat behind her allegedly gave her hair a makeover while she slept and may have even taken a picture of his handywork.

She claimed he braided her hair and may have reached through the seats while she slept to do it.

Opening the video, she said: “To the man that braided my hair while I was asleep on the plane, I need you to come forward immediately.”

Banging a gavel, she explained her travel details and said she was only listing the specifics because she wanted the person to reveal themselves.

She also explained for her viewers that she tends to fall completely asleep when she travels, going as far to say she ‘hibernates’ during flights.


She added that she was only awoken by the sound of a camera shutter behind her.

She continued: “So I’m, like, ‘Who’s taking pictures?’ I don’t pay no mind to it, because if you want to take pictures on a plane, that’s none of my business. I’m just trying to get to my destination.”

She only realized the small braid when she arrived at her LA Airbnb and it was here when she considered that it could be the person who was sitting behind her.

Speaking to the camera, Danielle said: “I need answers. Why you did that? I was deeply disturbed.

“I just need you to come forward and discuss why you thought it was OK to braid a woman’s hair while she was asleep.”

People on social media also agreed it was odd behavior, while some did find the humorous side of the situation referring to the man as the ‘Braid Bandit’ and the ‘Midnight Barber’

One user commented: “I’m confused on why y’all laughing in these comments like this not WEIRD and psychotic.”

Another added “This is so invasive and yet so funny but I’m sorry that happened to you.”

With a third writing: “That is absolutely insane 😭 are we not respecting boundaries anymore ??”

UNILAD has contacted American Airlines for comment.
