According to a viral video, the boyfriend spent the entire flight on the floor so that his lover could take the entire row.
Video blogger Martha Frieden spoke about the “chivalrous act” of her boyfriend. The girl posted the video on her TikTok page.
“Get yourself a man who sleeps on the floor so you can get the whole row,” reads the text at the top of the post, which has already racked up nearly 2 million views.

The unusual video caused a lot of controversy on the network. Netizens were quick to express concern about Frieden’s beau lying on the floor wearing a sleep mask. Some of them called the video “unsanitary”, referring to the germs on the floor.
“Girl, get the man off the floor,” writes one user.
“It’s actually dangerous, if there’s spontaneous turbulence, it could fly off and seriously injure itself and others,” warns another.
Other commentators rushed to Frieden’s defense.
“Looks comfortable,” to which Frieden replies, “Yes, with a pillow, sleep mask, and music.”
In response to the criticism, TikToker assured her followers that her boyfriend’s action was voluntary. According to her, the video was a joke and she “did not force” him to sleep on the floor.
