We've all sat next to someone either on a plane or public transport that wouldn't necessarily be your ideal co-passenger, but we can safely say we have never had the experience of Sara Novic.
The New York based writer was travelling to Cincinatti recently and found herself sitting next to a terrifying doll. A doll that even had its own ticket.
Thankfully for us, Novic chronicled the entire experience through a series of hilarious tweets along the way....
Good news: no person in the middle seat next to me.
Bad news: terrifying baby doll that belongs to the man in the window seat next to me.— Sara Nović (@NovicSara) September 23, 2016
Okay he bought it a ticket.

The flight attendant is trying to explain to him why he shouldn't put the doll's name on the ticket next time he buys her one.

Apparently the TSA was frantically trying to match the name and birthrate he provided UNTIL THEY REALIZED...

IT'S NOT A REAL PERSON.

Some updates. The man is also traveling with an entire bunch of bananas as a snack.

He is going to Cincinnati to see the giant Noah's ark replica built to spec, and the creation museum. As a matter of course.

Also random airline workers requested I text them the photo of the doll.

I'm on her right side this time. In case you need a better view. pic.twitter.com/pXnO0KSIux

On the bright side, Barbara was a very well- behaved baby.

Just kidding; this has been terrible. Can I go back to Hedgebrook now?

In closing, whatever the function of this doll, not judging. That she had an evil face and her own ticket I stand by as strange.
