A MAN who was left furious by a fellow passenger's rude behaviour on his flight has been told to stop being "passive aggressive" by other people.
The traveller was annoyed by the person on his plane when they kept invading his space.
However, after complaining about it online, the man was told he should have told the rude person about the problem before sharing his story online with others.
The man became irritated when the passenger sat in front of him kept accidentally touching the screen in his seat.
He took a picture and shared it to Reddit, where he wrote: "Person kept resting their hand on the screen and accidentally touching buttons on an overseas flight.
"I don't know how a fully grown adult person can be this completely unaware.

"Every few minutes they would reach up to rest their hands on the top of the chair for a while, touching buttons and activating the menu while I was trying to watch a movie. 8 and a half hour flight.
"I get maybe having anxiety and raising your arms to breathe easier, but at least have some situational awareness.
"Rule of thumb for life in general but especially during a flight: keep every part of your body within your own personal space!"
While people understood why he was complaining, they told him he should have at least raised the issue with the other passenger, instead of doing it online.

One wrote: "I’m definitely talking to them first before being passive aggressive."
Another said: "People need to learn that you can address situations like this without it turning into a video."
A third added: "You know they didn't say anything because the person was apparently doing this for the entire flight."
A few people however were on the man's side, with one saying: "I would grab their fingers and lift them off the screen."

One person wrote: "Call the flight attendant, it's a health hazard."
