There was a ZAB controller in the jump seat and a passenger disturbance in the first class cabin. The captain and so were both heavily involved in cockpit-to-cabin communications. The first officer had not eaten all morning and was finally getting to eat on the climb out with autoplt on. When the captain went back to help with the passenger disturbance the first officer should have put on his oxygen mask climbing through FL250. He put his oxygen mask on climbing through FL290.

Narrative:
Had an ATC (ZAB) controller on jump seat and passenger disturbance in first class cabin. Captain and so both involved heavily in cockpit-to-cabin communications. I had not eaten all morning and was finally getting to eat on climb out with autoplt on. Captain had to go back to help with passenger disturbance -- forgot to put on oxygen mask (as required by far) until through FL290. I knew to put it on when captain leaves for 'physiological necessity,' but totally forgot due to nature of cabin trouble.
