An impatient Spirit Airlines passenger was in such a hurry to disembark that he stepped over the man next to him.
Footage of the bizarre standoff, first posted to Instagram last week, shows an irate man in a black hoodie stepping over an aisle seat passenger.
The man, who is wearing a mask, can be seen rising from his seat while most of the passengers in front of him were still seated, as the line of people standing in the aisle did not move.
He seemed to be in a hurry to pass the man in an orange shirt, who remained in his aisle seat and refused to move.
The man then jumped over the seated passenger while angrily shouting, “Touch me, you son of a bitch.” Who the hell are you?'

“What are you going to do now,” the seated man asked. “Are you going to jump forward?”
“I'll wait here,” the masked man replied.
After some verbal sparring, the impatient man then had to wait awkwardly next to the passenger he stepped over.
The line to exit the plane didn't move until the video, originally shared by @dj1_roscoe on Instagram with the caption: “Only on Spirit,” was finished.
It has provoked an overwhelming response from social media users, who fiercely debated which passenger behaved more rudely.
One user who empathized with the aisle seat passenger wrote, “Ngl, I'm the white guy. Why do I stand up for another 6-7 minutes when I can sit and wait my turn to get off the plane?'
Some users disagreed, saying they wouldn't have had the patience to wait and would have followed in the footsteps of the man in the mask.
“You didn't have to stand with him, just let him cross and do his thing,” one person wrote.
Another user said: 'I'm the guy who stepped over him. I didn't buy a ticket to be checked by a stranger just because he wanted to wait.
“Some people need to stretch their legs or just stand up, PERIOD. Who are you to tell me to wait until you're ready,” the user added.

“What are you going to do now,” the seated man asked. “Are you going to jump forward?”
Most social media users agreed with the aisle seat passenger, stating that the other person had stepped over him to “stay standing for another twenty minutes.”
“Just another person who has to get up as quickly as possible when the seat belt sign goes out,” one user wrote.
'I would have kept talking and let him attack me. I would have filed charges and he would have been put on a no-fly list for the rest of his life,” someone else wrote.
“I like that he was in such a hurry to move a few feet away and just stand there,” someone else wrote.
“It's like someone flying around you as if you're going too slow, but then you end up together at the same traffic light.”
