The woman, known on X as @EYEamLRBY, posted a message that quickly went viral, garnering over 1.6 million views. She described how an unknown man sitting behind her handed her a mysterious note with the recommendation not to read it immediately.
"He handed me the paper and said: take this and read it later. It's nothing scary," the post author wrote. The note's content, as it turned out, concerned her hair. The man sitting behind her decided to compliment its appearance. A $100 bill was also attached to the note.
This form of compliment may seem disturbing to many people. However, the traveler stated that there was nothing frightening about it because the man did not leave his phone number or express any expectations for further contact.
Internet users shocked by the man's behaviour
Opinions among X users were divided on this matter. According to NYPost, some found the man's behaviour frightening, while others found it touching. Comments even suggested that the man might have taken a few strands of the passenger's hair to create a voodoo doll.
"Scary," commented X users. "He probably gave you that $100 to make up for how weird he is," wrote someone else. However, the post describing the situation was blocked by its author, so it can no longer be shared.
Despite the mixed reactions from the community, the entire situation was received more calmly by the woman involved, which shows that the interpretation of unusual gestures can be very subjective.
