The clip shared on Instagram showed the passenger inside an American Airlines plane engaging in a game of rock, paper, scissors from the flight window while the staff member was at a distance on the ground just before take-off. The amazing coordination between the two and the bright smile on their faces makes the video all the more fun.
Sharing the video, the woman captioned, 'Thank you to the man who played rock, paper, scissors with my wife. You made her flight and day. Instagram algorithm, work your magic and help me find this man."
The cheerful exchange has since gone viral, spreading smiles across the internet. Social media users are in love with the video, as the reactions on the post suggest.

An individual identified the staffer as Tommy, a ground crew chief working at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and said, 'That's my friend Tommy who works in DFW. He is the best crew chief and dad. I have known him since about 1990-1991."
'Ground staff are the best people honestly," an account remarked.
