Everyone knows the essential rules of flying: No smoking or using electronic cigarettes on the aircraft. Phones must be switched to airplane mode. Wear a seatbelt while seated. And, in fact, respect fellow travelers’ space.
But one TikTok user was horrified when a fellow passenger didn’t adhere to the last, finding a person in front of her was touching her along with his bare feet.
Tivona, who posts on TikTok under @teatinz, was on a flight recently when she felt something graze her leg. Looking down, the 24-year-old was horrified to see a person’s foot poking out from under her seat — which she noted in her 12-second video — were “cold” and bare.
In a clip with greater than 27 million views on the app, Tivona captioned, “No way people actually do that. I’m flabbergasted.”
The footage shows Tivona, who gave the impression to be sitting on a window seat, looking disgusted before shuffling her legs over and zooming in on the toes wiggling from underneath her seat.
Users immediately commented offering suggestions as to easy methods to handle the situation.
“Hot coffee spill should sort it,” joked one other user.
“The best way I’d stand on it because ain’t no way,” one other appalled user wrote.
“The best way I might stomp on it so fast ‘sorry sir I assumed it was a bug touching my leg!’ ” laughed one other.
A disquieting variety of travelers have been the victims of feettal attraction, including a Delta passenger. who scrolled through movie options along with his bare feet, the girl who used her naked hoofs to attract her window shade, and a flyer who stuck their “gnarled troll toes” under the seat in front of them.
