Even luxury carriers aren’t protected from bad airplane behavior.
A Singapore Airlines passenger sparked an etiquette debate online after allegedly exposing his bare feet to fellow flyers — even touching his seatmate’s chair with them.
“Why did I actually have to place be next to this heathen?” declared the tootsie troll’s furious fellow flyer in a Reddit post currently taking off.
The gobsmacked globetrotter shared a photograph of the air barbarian sitting with one leg crossed over the opposite so his bare foot was pointing into the aisle. The poster clarified within the comments that the “rude” man’s trotter was poking their seat panel.
“He was like throughout the flight aside from meal times at which he kept asking for whiskey and only after confirming that it was Johnnie Walker Red Label,” the irate Redditor fumed.
They implored the Redditverse for advice on whether or not they should hold their neighbor’s toes to the fireplace, writing: “Can I request to vary seats or get him to placed on his silly shoes?”
That they had quite a lot of suggestions, some more helpful than others.
“Ask him nicely. Then ask the crew nicely. Nothing else you’ll be able to do,” advised one, while one other wrote, “Quite easy actually. Just use your feet and touch his feet, you’re wearing shoes, he isn’t.”
“Suck his toes when hes asleep,” joked one other. “Unfortunately, there may be nothing you’ll be able to do about it. For those who area really mad about it and wish to hunt some semblance of peace, possibly create an anonymous social media post along with his face on it.”
“Omg I swear there are such a lot of disgusting people on this world that I feel like I actually have to pay 4 times the value to sit down in business in order that I can avoid this type of situation,” lamented one poster.
“Did you ask him to place his foot away?!” inquired one commenter.
The unique poster replied, “No, I used to be afraid cos he seemed partially drunk. I mean, I just wanted no drama if possible. Sadly, I generally is a pushover lol.”
Unfortunately, air travel has develop into a nightmare at 30,000 feet of late. In one among the more heinous pedi crimes to this point, one passenger raised eyebrows after flashing their hairy, six-toed trotter on a plane — which viewers in comparison with a “mermaid’s tail.”
Together with being rude and unsightly, going shoeless on a plane can also be a hygiene issue, especially given how dirty an airplane cabin is.
“I might never fly barefoot on a plane,” a veteran flight attendant for a serious carrier said, per WGN Morning News. “Passengers lately could be quite messy and we see every little thing from spills to dirty diapers thrown on the ground.”
As well as, removing footwear inflight can prove hazardous because of the danger of cluttering an aisle — or people having to maneuver sans shoes during an emergency.
