Have you ever been on a plane and been stuck sitting next to someone that is just a terrible flying partner? Sure, most of us have. Maybe they smelled. Maybe they snored. Maybe they dominated the armrest between the two of you. Maybe they were just straight up creepy. Well, a couple of years back, Sara Nović sat next to someone that took creepy to the next level, or should we say something. Sara was stuck sitting next to a creepy baby doll and its (her) grown-man owner (parent).
That brief moment of hopeful elation when the middle seat is left open was quickly dashed when the seat became occupied by a doll straight out the attic of that horror film you refuse to watch because it’ll ruin your day, month, year, or life. Perhaps this man in Sara’s row would just put the doll on his lap, or in the overhead been. No… no, no. This guy bought an actual plane ticket for the doll (named Barbara). He put the ticket in the doll’s name, which understandably caused a TSA mess because the doll doesn’t have any documentation to show its identity… because its a doll.
Sara tweeted the awkwardly terrifying encounter, which included a 2-hour layover and a second flight with the doll and the man… Our thoughts go out to Sara and everyone else on the flights who were subjected to this voodoo, and hopefully, time has healed these wounds. Everyone hang on to your dreamcatchers…
