If you're on vacation with husband and kids, you might not want to swipe on tinder

Sometimes flights can be long and boring: sleeping is uncomfortable, movies never satisfy, and so we try to distract ourselves with books, magazines, movies and TV series. But there are also those who, to pass the time, rely on the social media. What happened to a TikTok user named. Karina, however, is truly unique. Let's see what happened.
How to spend time on the plane? Some people rely on Tinder
In this article:
Karina, a young traveler who is used to sharing her air travels often, decided to publish (without showing herself) what the woman sitting next to her was looking at on his smartphone. TikTok's video, which immediately went viral, shows a screen with as many 22 Tinder notifications, the well-known dating app. Which, in itself, would not be a problem. Except that the woman was on the plane with her husband and children.
"Maybe they have an open marriage? I'm confused," Karina wonders in her post, while in the comments section users' opinions are the most diverse. Some think just like the young passenger, while others wrote that maybe the couple is looking for someone to have threesomes.
Two of the most direct comments were, "Tell her husband through an airdrop" and "Her husband is about to give her the greatest gift of her life: divorce." But some also speculated that the woman was not married, and that the one with her was not her spouse.
The truth, in any case, only the woman with Tinder and the smartphone knows.
Not an isolated case
But this is not the only incident in which the cell phone has been the protagonist of shocking surprises. On a recent Rome Fiumicino-Alicante flight, on the screens of many passengers' cell phones appeared disturbing photos and messages to say the least. Not only that: the unfortunate occupants of the aircraft were delivered to their phones real messages with death threats directed to their loved ones.
An inevitable panic immediately ensued on the plane, complete with constant reports to the crew.
Skulls, dark hooded figures, and messages that said, "Wake up, wake up: your family will bleed because of you," or "You will suffer for your actions," or " Your family members will feel eternal pain because of your actions, the tears they shed will drain you and the pain they will feel will be unbearable."
A situation that frightened and worried many of the 147 passengers aboard the plane.
Upon raising the alarm, officers immediately boarded the not-yet-departing aircraft and made a shocking discovery. The perpetrator of this macabre game turned out to be an 18-year-old Spaniard, who had thoughtfully sent all his seat neighbors those messages using Airdrop. A mishap that cost all passengers a couple of hours' delay for departure.
These two stories, though very different, teach us that while on board the plane, it is perhaps best to keep the cell phone off.
