Shared on Instagram page Passenger shaming, the video shows one man opening the window panel and another closing it.

“Acting like immature children, but funny,” wrote an Instagram user. “I call staged. What’re you doing posting fake content like this? Yes I’ve read the caption. Any person with a tiny bit of intellect would be able to deduce that it doesn’t make sense,” commented another.
“Who cares about the context, this is funny! All in good fun,” wrote another. “It’s not this guy’s window. It’s behind his seat. I’d wrist lock him next time he did that,” commented another while taking sides.
