Men play cards in the plane’s aisle mid-flight.

The video, which has gone viral on the internet, thus far gaining 7.1 million views and over 156K likes, shows how men spread shawls in a plane’s aisle mid-flight to play cards. They are seen tying the shawl between four seats to create a makeshift surface. The setup, which turned part of the cabin into an impromptu card table, obstructed movement and also raised safety concerns among viewers online. Many questioned how such behaviour was allowed to continue during a commercial flight.

Netizens react to the viral video.

One user wrote, “How inconsiderate to other passengers. Zero civic sense. What if someone needs to use the restroom? This is so weird.” Another questioned, “The biggest question is, was there nobody on the plane to shame these guys and make them stop? The crew are too polite, but what about the other passengers?” A third user commented, “Yaar, stop this nonsense. Watch a movie or go to sleep. And let others sleep.”
