In a video now making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), a young lady shared a casual clip of herself on board an airline.

The short video, which she uploaded to her WhatsApp status, showed her enjoying her flight experience like many travelers often do. However, what happened next has stirred laughter and conversation across social media.

Shortly after posting, a random lady reached out to her with a very unusual request. The message read:

“My love, can you please do me a favor? I’m so sorry to ask, but inside this flight, can you help me record the inside and outside? I want to use it for my vlog. Please don’t show your face.”

The bizarre direct message immediately drew attention online, as many netizens tagged it as yet another example of the ongoing “fake life” culture. According to critics, some people are willing to go to great lengths just to appear like they are living luxuriously, even if it means borrowing someone else’s experiences.

A few commenters even admitted that they weren’t surprised, saying such requests are becoming increasingly common in today’s “do anything for content” era.

The story has since gone viral, sparking debates about authenticity on social media and how the pressure to “belong” can push people into odd, sometimes embarrassing situations.
