Flights: Plane passenger couple cause disgust with nasty act together on aircraft


Flights can often be spent in cramped positions as fliers are forced to contort themselves in a bid to get comfortable. Sometimes plane passengers go to extreme lengths – and they don’t always take the feelings of others into consideration. Certain travellers can be very selfish when it comes to their movements in an aircraft. This was certainly the case for one pair of passengers snapped in a photo shared on social media.

Instagram account passengershaming uploaded a photo of the duo on its account.

It shows the two fliers sitting in their seats and both wearing grey tracksuit bottoms.

Although they appear to be sitting in Economy Class, the pair seem to have lucked out with a fair bit of legroom thanks to what seems to be an exit row of seats.

It would appear this extra luxury isn’t quite enough for them, however, and they’ve gone a step further to get cosy.

Both travellers have stretched out their legs and placed their feet on the tray tables in front.

While this move may be pleasant for them, it’s particularly nasty for anyone who sits in the seats after them.

One of the fliers is wearing shoes as he crosses his ankles on the table. Consequently, he is most likely transferring any dirt and nastiness he has walked in onto the plastic surface.

The other person in the shot – whose torso is not visible – has removed their shoes and has placed their feet on the table in just his socks.

It’s possible the pair thought their foot attire was better than sitting with bare feet – as many other chastised travellers have done.

However, passengershaming points out in the post’s hashtag that “socks and shoes don’t make putting your feet on eating surfaces and better than the alternative.”

Instagram fans have shared their thoughts on the unpleasant scene captured in the photo.

“I’m never touching one of those tables ever again,” one person commented on the image.

Another felt very strongly indeed, posting: “I fly enough to crave comfort yet I’d NEVER stick my feet on those trays because I’m completely aware that other people use them to hold food, or reading material, or even their heads if they’re napping. Gross. Gross. Gross.”

Other commenters stuck up for the fliers, writing: “This is an exit row. So to be fair, those tables aren’t even usable since they are too far away. They have ones in the armrest to use.”

Another photo shared by Instagram account passengershaming recently went viral when it captured a man’s “disgusting” decision. 

Tucked up under the blind of his own window is a pair of socks, apparently using the sun shining in to dry them.

Users in the comments section have claimed he was doing his laundry onboard, and that the window served as a handy spot to air out his socks.

The image has received an outpouring of opinions, with one viewer even saying the image left them feeling physically sick. They wrote: “That made my gorge rise. People usually rest their heads there. Ack.”
