Parents Blasted After Letting Their Kid Wear Flashing Outfit On Plane

Video of the child's flashing costume shared on the @sarcasm_only Instagram page sparked instant outrage from viewers.

Content Warning: Video contains flashing lights

We can all agree that one goal all parents should have is to keep their children as happy and comfortable as possible.


This might even be especially true in social situations and travel situations where their child might be really uncomfortable with the change in their surroundings or when they have to sleep somewhere other than their familiar bed.

But we can also all agree there are limits to this wish, and that other people's needs also need to be taken into account.

Flying, whether internationally or domestically, has become an activity that a lot of people dread—specifically because of the chances of them having to engage with misbehaving or overly entitled children.

It seems a lot of parents believe that their child's comfort on a flight must come before everyone else's comfort, even if another passenger's comfort includes health-related concerns.

A recent viral video on Instagram, posted by @sarcasm_only, showed an adult seated next to a child who was wearing a white bunny costume with hand grips that caused the bunny ears to pop up and down.

Oh, and did we mention that the entire costume lit up in flashing neon lights?

The worst part of it was that it appeared to be a night flight, as all of the cabin lights were turned off, save the kid's flashing costume.

You can watch the video here:

Fellow Instagrammers were furious about the video, some citing how frustrating this would be.

Others agreed with their frustrations, but they were much more worried about people with health concerns—like those who are susceptible to flashing lights.

There were also reactions over on Twitter that supported the concerns on Instagram.

One comment in particular asked:

"Where's a Karen when you need one?"

Traveling really should be a fun experience for everyone, as it allows us to go to new places, experience new things, and perhaps even learn a thing or two about a different culture.

But that traveling only gets to be fun if we're all able to be comfortable.

And while a child might love to have a costume like this at home, perhaps some standard, fuzzy pajamas would have been better for the night flight.
