Ladies & gentlemen, the award for shadiest inflight gesture goes to… the flight attendant who drew a picture of a window for a flyer demanding a window seat.
Perhaps he/she was having a tough day or perhaps there were no window seats available, but the single move to silence an annoying passenger has made him/her the new hero of the skies.
Sit back, grab some popcorn, here’s the full tale according to Twitter users:
The flight attendant was going about his/her usual business on a domestic Japan service when an unhappy aisle passenger asked, nay, demanded he be relocated to a window seat.
Depending on inflight circumstances, airline crew will attempt to relocate a disruptive passenger, but not this worker. No, he/she decided to give the man a different kind of view – a picture of a window on a piece of paper.
粋だけどちょっと雑では…?

The rough sketch, stuck to a blank wall in front of the flyer, came complete with clouds and even the ocean below.
Although it isn’t clear whether the picture was enough to satisfy the man, it has entertained some 15,000 Twitter users.
