There are those who lose it on the flight even when it comes to choosing the food portion.
The Hindustan Times website reports that in a video shared many times across the web, an argument was recorded that broke out between a passenger and a flight attendant of the low-cost Indian company Indigo, over a choice of food.
The video segment, which is close to a minute long, was shared on Twitter and according to the user who shot the video, the incident happened on a flight from Istanbul to New Delhi.
The user, known as Er.
Gurpreet Singh Hans, tweeted that he "unfortunately" booked the flight from Istanbul to Delhi.
"On every long-haul international flight, a video is shown to (passengers) to choose food," he wrote.
"But some people need to have a (large) selection of food. I saw before my eyes how the man behaves with the team of girls...".
In the video, you can see the flare-up of the heated argument between the flight attendant and the passenger - whose face is not visible throughout the entire incident.
The subject of the debate was the selection of food served to the passengers.
In one of the segments, the flight attendant accuses him of waving his finger disdainfully at her.
"You point a finger at me and shout at me. My staff is crying because of you. Please try to understand: there is a cart on the plane and the meals are counted. We can only serve what is on the plane," she is heard saying in the video.
"We can only serve what is on the plane."

"You have to respect the team"
At this point the man asks "Why are you yelling at me?"
And she answers him - "Because you are yelling at us!".
The flight attendant's colleague is then seen intervening and trying to calm her down.
On her part, the flight attendant continues and tells him: "You can't talk to the crew like that... I listen to you calmly, with all due respect, but you must respect the crew as well."
The man asks how his behavior disrespected the crew members, and the flight attendant reminds him again about the finger-waving thing.
In the following seconds, towards the end of the video, the man tells the flight attendant "Shut up" and she shouts back at him "You shut up!".
"I'm working, I'm not your maid," she continues before covering her face again with the mask and turning back to end the argument.
According to media reports, the Indigo airline responded to the incident and stated that the crew leading the flight had to intervene because the passenger in question exhibited "bad behavior and insulted one of the flight attendants".
