A fight over a window shade between two airline passengers was caught on video, and it’s about as amusing as it sounds.
The video, posted by the Instagram account @passengershaming, shows the men in a shade war, with one man pulling the window cover down and the man in front of him pulling it back up.
The clip of the bizarre exchange goes on for over two minutes.
“Leave it open,” the man in the front seat said.
The man behind him, apparently recording the encounter, asked that his fellow passenger sitting in front allow him to keep the window shade down.

“Please can you shut it?” the man recording said.
A flight attendant then comes over to them in an attempt to intervene, But the two men continue their window spat, which eventually escalates.
The man in the front seat holds his hand on the blinder to prevent the passenger behind from pulling it back down. At one point, he reached his arm toward the man behind him in an attempt to stop his arm from reaching for the window.
“Don’t touch me,” the man recording said. “That’s assault.”
It doesn’t appear the two men ever resolved their onboard fight, however, the video ends with the man in the front seat seemingly victorious.
