Public transportation is the muse of viral content. Conversations drift between seats and above headrests, and you never know upon whose ears—or screen—your chatter might land. One couple learned that the hard way when a fellow airplane passenger decided to share the sights and sounds accompanying their breakup.
Twitter user Kelly Keegs was waiting for her flight to take off on Sunday evening,when she overheard a fight erupting between a couple across the aisle. Like any good web denizen, she decided to document it. But not only did she livetweet their dialogue: she also included a number of photos of the man and woman.
It started with this tweet. The Daily Dot has obscured their faces to protect their identities.

As you can see for the retweet and favorite count, many took glee in following along with the drama that Keegs serendipitously stumbled upon.
From there, Keegs furiously shared juicy details of the emotionally charged conversation.
Guy: "is this really a surprise? Are you seriously surprised at this information?"

Girl: "Great. JUST GREAT. I'm so glad I paid 40 extra dollars to be on this fucking flight with you"

Girl: "ITS JUST SO MEAN. DO I DESERVE THIS? WHY ARE TOU BRINGING THIS UP"
— Kelly Keegs (@kellykeegs) August 24, 2015
"I don't want to be this girl. I don't want to be her. I want to be my best for you and YOU WONT LET ME"

"Is that what you're starting to do with me? Just slow fade me OUT? Just like the others?"

Girl: "you don't even understand why I'm FUCKING SAD. YOU HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME"

She even included a scenery shot and commentary to really capture the moment.

And then Keegs marched on.
Girl: "well what makes you so FUCKING SPECIAL?"
— Kelly Keegs (@kellykeegs) August 24, 2015
Girl: "you should probably just stop talking. Just stop TALKING!!"
— Kelly Keegs (@kellykeegs) August 24, 2015
"I'm going to ask Charlotte. I'm going to ask her the minute we get home and we'll see if your STORIES MATCH" (Omg scandal who's Charlotte?)
— Kelly Keegs (@kellykeegs) August 24, 2015
Guy: "I can't discuss this anymore." Girl: "so I'm not worth your time????"

But, as they say, all’s well that ends well. Right?
What the fuck? Now they're making out. I'm not kidding
— Kelly Keegs (@kellykeegs) August 24, 2015
We took off, they immediately ordered SIX vodkas and Bloody Mary mix for the 50 minute flight and chugged them in silence between makeouts

What’s worse: the fact that Keegs shared photos of the couple or that she was so gleeful about this other woman’s pain? As a human, your heart should be breaking for the girlfriend who got dumped while boarding a plane. But instead, we’re cheering on a random stranger who took it upon herself to broadcast the woman’s humiliation.
We reached out to Keegs for comment, but have not heard back.
This is the greatest plane delay I've ever had

Excellent work all around.
