‘Row 14 seat C’: Woman is on American Airlines flight Los Angeles. Then she overhears a man’s conversation. Now she’s airing out his dirty laundry
Somewhere between takeoff and landing, Row 14 Seat C apparently turned into a confessional booth. One Miami-to-L.A. flight gave a woman front-row seats to a man casually detailing his creative system for hiding other women’s phone numbers from his girlfriend.
Of course, being the girl’s girl that she is, she decided the group chat deserved to hear it too. Names were named (down to the seat), secrets were spilled, and TikTok was left to do what it does best: connect the dots and wonder who just got exposed at 30,000 feet.
He Does What?
It seems the 2025 dating scene is down in the dumps. Aside from dating app horror stories, some men are becoming increasingly confident sharing their favorite tips on how to be a Bad Boyfriend. This one TikTok creator, who goes by @nostolgicgirly, just revealed a new cheating strategy.
Her clip now has 1.9 million views, a high number considering it’s just a six-second clip. The video shows her sitting in a plane with the text overlay reading, “If your boyfriend or husband was on american airlines flight 2689 miami to los angeles, row 14 seat c, he spent the entire flight telling his friend how he saves other girls’ numbers under ‘gym bro’, ‘work client’, and even ‘cousin’ so you won’t notice anything.”
Almost 700 viewers have come together under the clip to rally against the mentioned boyfriend.
Is This an Ad… Or is it Real?
In the caption, the woman says, “and Reclip just reminded me that I accidentally recorded half of it without even realizing.” Upon further investigation, most–if not all–of her videos feature Reclip as an important tool in her stories. Some of her clips focus on her own marriage, in which she says she discovered her husband cheating by using said app. But what even is the app to begin with?
On their website, the social media app is described as “captur[ing] moments that are impossible to catch with any other app, because only Reclip saves things after they happen. So the next time something crazy just happened, don’t tell your friends about it later. Clip it, and share the real thing with Reclip.”
This is exactly what the TikTok creator says she does in all her videos. Her stories all feature an outlandish scenario, such as her recording her husband’s phone call with his mistress, or the time she caught her professor saying ‘uncomfortable’ comments, or even catching her father-in-law saying sexual comments. Each time, she says Reclip caught the moment. Which leads us to ask…is her TikTok even real?

Viewers Still Help Despite the Odds
Even if her clip was an undisclosed ad for the app, viewers can’t help but feel compassion for a girl they don’t know. Most of the comments under the clip mention “boost” as a way to make sure it gets enough traction to reach the desired target. This practice is common in the gossiping world of TikTok, with the Mary Sue covering a similar story recently. Apparently, a barista overheard a man demeaning his fiancée to a random woman, calling her a ‘nightmare.’ In that clip, viewers were also commenting in hopes that their interaction would get the video to said fiancée.
In @nostolgicgirly’s clip, viewers band together in a similar fashion. Others just praise the TikTok creator for being so direct. The top comment says, “We love a girls girl.”
Another shares, “Women supporting women.” One goes far to say, “You deserve a noble [sic] peace prize.”
Some share similar tactics they’ve discovered in their own dating life. One viewer says, “I once discovered I was saved as ‘Matt.'”
Another gives a clue on how to check in on their partners’ fidelity: “Always go on whatsapp and scroll through the contacts bc their photo will show so you’ll know if ‘work bro’ is a girl.”
The Mary Sue reached out to the creator via TikTok direct message.
