A viral video shows a coach passenger with their shoes and socks off, with one bare foot on the floor the other pulled up – picking at and grooming their foot at their seat. That’s gross enough to watch, but the dead skin and debris is spreading in the cabin and onto seats and the carpet.
This looks to me like HK Express with its grey slimline seats and color scheme (and no seatback entertainment). That would make the aircraft an Airbus narrowbody.
Aircraft cleaners don’t deep-clean the seatbacks and carpets between flights, or usually even overnight on many airlines. And this isn’t like spilled pretzels or other snacks.
This is shared space even if your seat is yours for the flight. You are sharing it with the person in the seat for the next flight. Yet people keep doing this. Here’s a passenger with their not-so-lovely foot up on their neighbor’s armrest. Another was clipping their nails and flicking them onto the passenger beside them. And here’s one grinding dead skin off their feet – as a flight attendant just shrugged.
I’m genuinely asking here, why are people so awful? Why can’t they just wait to do whatever they wish with their bodies until they have privacy rather than exposing the rest of us to it?
Is it that we pretend we’re alone, nobody else is around, in situations where we’re surrounded? There’s a false anonymity out in public because these are people we don’t know? Just nerves overcoming up and we don’t realize how we’re acting? I’m really trying to wrap my mind around this. What do you think?
HK Express… those cute little purple planes. Much prefer CX.
I was on a United transcontinental flight about twenty years ago. A passenger in First bulkhead seat was cutting his toe nails
A chemical acid peel has been used on those feet. Not only unsightly, but unfair to other passengers that may be allergic
Hot
I’ve always wondered about those kind of people… did they have to take this trip on such short notice , that they didn’t have time to groom themselves properly at home, or.. do the grow parts ( hairs, nails), at such an alarming rate that they can only be presentable in public for less than 12 hours ( lycanthropy).
or were they just raised in a barn?
People are selfish disrespectful uncaring towards others. They’re miserable in their own skin and misery loves company.
uuughh— no way. GROSS!!!!! Who does that??!!!
You stop telling me what I must do on planes: put on a masks, be vaccinated, stop taking care of my feet, or whatever YOU don’t like.
They’re all the same thing – infringing on my freedom. I thought this was settled a long time ago.
Only thing I can think of is some kind of OCD? My ocd is taking people’s wallet by force because other people’s wallet are my emotional support animal.
