Reddit is such a treasure chest if you are looking for the people’s worst, best, weirdest, and funniest. You can find anything you want.

And, to be honest, a bunch of things you never wanted to see. But, that’s the beauty of Reddit – it shows humankind as it is, without polishing it.

And we have a good story here- it was posted by a young man who was traveling by plane to visit his parents. He downloaded a couple of movies, including the second Deadpool.

He was watching it on his phone with headphones in. When the part where Deadpool gets ripped in half happened, he heard a scream behind him.

He took out his headphones and there was a little kid behind him, crying. He had positioned himself in a way that he could watch OP’s screen and had watched him get torn.

His mom got mad at the OP and yelled that he shouldn't be watching that kind of thing, especially in front of children. But OP wasn't aware anyone was watching him, and that kid would have had to force himself into a weird, uncomfortable, and totally obvious position to see his phone screen.

So, now this Reddit user posted the question “AITA for watching an R-rated movie on a flight?”

OP asks:

He is a young man who was traveling by plane to visit his parents. He downloaded a couple of movies...

He wasn't aware of a kid who was watching the movie on his phone.

And the kid's mom yelled at him. OP posted additional explanations:

Redditors were clear on this:

The kid is quiet, what could go wrong?

It was her responsibility to watch over her kid

Other parents warn their kids about this

But this mom clearly doesn't

Even airlines have R-rated movies

But some of the scenes are deleted

She should make sure...

OP explained:

Some parents had similar experiences

The child wasn't even in the same aisle

OP doesn't like confrontation

OP isn't responsible for other people's children.

Parents confirm:

This Karen-Mom doesn't have any right demanding that everyone around her watch kid-friendly content

Parents usually teach their kids not to watch at other people's screens.

Being a parent is one of the most absurdly difficult things we can do, and while choosing to become one is a personal decision, doing so can leave one physically and mentally exhausted. It goes without saying that every parent wants the best for their children, but because babies don't come with instruction manuals, you'll just have to wing it.

After all, parenting involves more than just dressing up the little miscreants and dragging them to playdates. It also involves a lot of teaching.

And one of the things parents should teach their kids is not to stick their noses into other people's private affairs. And people's phones are private.

So, the mom from our story should really devote time to parenting her kid instead of yelling at people on the plane, especially quiet kids who don't like confrontation.
