A man recently went viral after sharing a video on TikTok, where he called out a fellow passenger on his flight for taking his iPhone charger without permission. The video, which has garnered over 1.6 million views, shows the owner of the charger confronting the woman as she’s trying to find her seat. 
The unidentified woman can be heard explaining that she took the charger because the flight was landing, insisting that she intended to return it to him.
The frustrated man firmly tells her that she shouldn’t take items that don’t belong to her. When another passenger behind her chimes in, the man quickly responds, telling him to mind his own business.
The woman remains calm as she rummages through her bag to retrieve the charger, while the man continues to voice his frustration. She then asks, “How is it stealing if I’m giving it back?”
After reclaiming his charger, the man takes another jab, sarcastically asking if she can afford one herself.
This has sparked a debate among commenters, with many questioning whether the owner of the charger was overly harsh or if his reaction was justified.
Many feel the woman was clearly in the wrong for taking the charger, regardless of her intent to return it. Several users emphasized that taking someone else’s property, no matter how small, is wrong and considered stealing.
Some commenters felt that while the woman was wrong, his attitude was unnecessary and made the situation more dramatic than it needed to be.

His response was exactly in proportion to the thief! There is no reason he had to be extra polite. This behavior on her part is what is WRONG with people these days. In what world is it alright to outright STEAL from someone and then be defensive about it ?!?
