Man receives praise on Reddit for politely asking woman on a plane to lower her volume: “I wholeheartedly approve”

A man posted on the AITA subreddit seeking validation for his decision to confront a fellow airplane passenger who was talking extremely loudly during their flight. The man, known as “Walfredo_wya,” expressed his frustration with the woman’s loud conversation, stating that even with earplugs in, her voice was piercing his ears. As the flight landed, the man noticed the woman and her significant other were on the same next flight as him. Feeling compelled to address the issue, he approached them and politely advised them to be quieter on their next flight. However, the woman and her boyfriend responded rudely, calling him an ‘a–hole’. In response, the man showed the couple his earplugs and detailed snippets of their conversation to demonstrate that their volume was indeed disruptive. Seeking the judgment of the AITA community, the man asked if he was wrong for speaking up.

Reddit users on the AITA subreddit chimed in with their opinions, using tags like “NTA” (Not the A–hole), “YTA” (You’re the A–hole), “NAH” (No A–holes Here), and “ESH” (Everyone Sucks Here) to weigh in. Of the nearly 1,000 replies, the majority agreed that the man was in the right for addressing the issue. Top comments praised the man’s decision, stating that if he could hear the couple’s conversation despite wearing earplugs, then they were clearly speaking too loudly. Some users even commended the man’s bravery for confronting the situation directly, admitting that they would have been too anxious to do the same. Many users also shared their own experiences dealing with loud individuals in various settings, further validating the man’s frustration.

Walfredo_wya’s act of assertiveness sparked a discussion on airplane etiquette, with many users empathizing with his plight. The post received significant attention, and Fox News Digital reached out to Walfredo_wya for comment.
