People being loud in non loud spaces is the worst offense someone can pull
I wonder how many people were annoyed.
I’m sure his heart was in the right place, but an hour of Christmas saxophone has to be the most effective way to make a delayed flight even worse.
I once boarded a plane to come back from a long trip. I was tired and cranky. This weirdly dressed guy boarded after me and sat down a few rows ahead. Loudly striped bell-bottoms, a really bright shirt. He just looked weird, and I (unjustly) found him annoying.
But then they announced that the flight would be delayed for at least an hour, and it was really hot (we were coming back from the tropics) and little kids started crying, and this guy comes to the rescue! He stands up, walks up the aisle so all the kids can see him, and starts making balloon animals! Each kid got one. Then he starts singing songs to entertain the kids. It turns out he was a clown (but without any creepy makeup). And the thing is, it worked like magic. The kids quieted down and were absolutely enchanted with this guy, and the adults on the plane were spared a lot of screaming and crying. Thank you, clown, wherever you are.
This would be my own personal hell.
This sounds like an actual fucking nightmare.
At first I misunderstood the caption. I thought it was delayed _because_ he did this.
This would make me rage mad.
I Am The Main Character vibes. And what does being an Army vet have to do with it?
That sounds like a fucking nightmare.
I’ve never seen such an upvoted post have so many negative comments. Where are all these upvotes coming from?
This isn’t the Good Place! This is the Bad Place!
I would fucking kick a window out to get off that plane.
I wonder how it came up that he was an army vet lol. “Hey everybody, im an army vet, and this is Jingle Bells…”
As a sax player;
Sir. *Sir.* For the love of all that is good, green, and holy. Put. That. Shit. Away.
Nobody wants that. **NOBODY**
my face when a guy pulls out a saxophone on a delayed flight: -.-
The guy really took it upon himself to make a bad situation excruciating
Who’s ever smiled at having their flight delayed by an hour?!
Nope. I’m getting off that plane
Not legendary at all
I’d hate this. Like, I still appreciate they guy trying to liven up the people for the delay, but holy shit I hate Christmas songs. Every store has them, and it get annoying real quick, especially since most stores have them since November!
Cramped tube
Saxophones
Christmas Music
…did Hell add another circle?
Literally why I bring my cowbell everywhere. Always hoping for a layover duet
Imagine sitting right next to this. Your eardrums will never recover.
Unite everyone by playing Careless Whisper

I like peace and quiet and don’t like being bombarded by festivities over the holidays.
I would have preferred if we all chilled.
I know that makes me a grouch but and the guy was doing a good dead but I would have preferred silence
Somehow my autistic brain tough, the flight was delayed because he played saxophone for an hour.
🤣
I might give it one or two songs, but after that, I’m leading the revolt against him. There’s just no way that most people would enjoy this, but most are too polite to speak up.
This would fit better on r/imthemaincharacter
Loud noises make me panic. This would be hell.
This is nothing to smile about. This would annoy me to no end.
I’ll take a chorus of crying babies
That’s a great way to make a bad situation worse.
nah bro talk about main character syndrome, im trying to read, asshole
You work in retail, forced to listen to Christmas music on repeat for months at a time, driving you crazy
You’re ready to snap, but you’ve finally saved enough money and time off to go on vacation
Flight is delayed for over an hour
Some fuck gets his saxophone out and starts blasting fucking jingle bells
Can’t even tell him to shut up and sit down because he’s a veteran
Non-stop “Careless Whisper” solo
I guess this made me smile in a “I’m glad I wasn’t on that plane” way
I have a friend who hates the sax so much that she would have opened the emergency exit and gone down the slide. Can’t wait to share this with her.
Anyways, here’s Wonderwall…
New fear unlocked
What a fucking nightmare
If he was good I would definitely enjoy that, but I definitely wouldn’t expect others to.
I would be pissed. I just want peace and quite. Why do I have to listen to this man for an hour? Its right up there with having a baby crying. At least the baby doesn’t understand
As a sax player this would annoy the fuck out of me. Not everyone celebrates asshole. Others may just want quiet.
