The woman, known on X as @EYEamLRBY, posted a message that quickly went viral, garnering over 1.6 million views. She described how an unknown man sitting behind her handed her a mysterious note with the recommendation not to read it immediately.
"As I was getting off the plane - the man behind me handed me a piece of paper and said 'take this and read it later. I promise it's not creepy,'" the post author wrote. The note's content, as it turned out, concerned her hair. The man sitting behind her decided to compliment its appearance. A £80 bill was also attached to the note.
This form of compliment may seem disturbing to many people. However, the traveller stated that it was nothing frightening because the man did not leave his phone number or express any expectations for further contact.
Internet users shocked by the man's behaviour
Opinions among X users were divided on this matter. According to NYPost, some found the man's behaviour frightening, while others found it touching. Comments even suggested that the man might have taken a few strands of the passenger's hair to create a voodoo doll.
"Scary," commented X users. "He probably gave you that £80 to make up for how weird he is," wrote someone else. However, the post describing the situation was blocked by its author, so it can no longer be shared.
Despite the mixed reactions from the community, the entire situation was received more calmly by the woman involved, which shows that the interpretation of unusual gestures can be very subjective.
