viral on TikTok. An anonymous TikTok user who goes by the handle @theLKshow and appears to be from London, according to their Etsy account, is advising people to redirect their overhead fans toward recliners as a way to get them to readjust their seats.In a ceiling-facing six-second video, theLKshow wrote about their strategy in white on-screen text."Unethical life hack: When you are on a flight and the person in front of you reclines their seat all the way and leave you no room.

Turn on the air con above you on full blast and point it at the top of their head," theLKshow wrote, which is accompanied by the song "Blicky" from New Orleans music duo Fresh x Reckless.At the time of publication, the video had received more than 2.4 million views, 111,300 likes, 16,200 shares, 5,200 saves and 2,900 comments."The plane ride is so long when you get one of these people in front of you," theLKshow captioned the video along with a yawn emoji and the hashtags #plane, #reclinetheseat and #annoyingpassengers.The video resparked the age-old debate about whether plane passengers should have reclining seats."There are 2 kinds of people in this world: those who recline and don’t care, and those who will never recline," said one TikTok user, whose comment received more than 11,900 likes."Recliner seats are there to recline," another user wrote."And air cons are there to air con," another commenter quipped."Those seats should not recline," one user wrote.Several other commenters reasoned that if all plane passengers reclined their seats, then everyone would have the same amount of room.Others argued that the recline distance is marginal and doesn’t offer real comfort, so passengers should be considerate of those who sit behind them."I pay.
