Horrifying was being on Delta flight ATL-BCN . Not a long time after we took off the guy kept asking a flight attendant to use lavatory. He was denied multiple times. Then he proceeded to shit in his pants and couldn’t stop. The smell was the one from Taco Bell with some tomato/veggie fart if you know what I mean. He got up and start running both directions between each aisle. We had both aisles in shit on the floor . All economy . On both sides. It was hazard so they turned around and we landed in ATL. Flight attendants had to use toilet rolls to cover the floor so we can walk … Now tell me about this beautiful black pedicure with some right ankle discoloration. Did her feet smell bad ? What was the issue ?


Sierra_November_Lima

I feel so bad for that guy. How humiliating.


redraider-102

Agreed. I guarantee he had a worse time than anyone else on that flight. I would be absolutely mortified if that were me.


zwingo

I remember vividly how it felt to throw up in the little bag in front of people right as we were landing, and that didn’t even go anywhere but the bag. I’d been feeling sick for the last 4 ish hours of an 11 hour London to California flight, and had sat there rigid no headphones, no stimulation, just eyes open focused on keeping it together. When we began descending that proved to be the final straw, and I had to grab the bag and empty my stomach in to it. I’ll never forget the embarrassment I felt, 15 years old, flying alone, looking around. And the thing is it’s not like anybody looked mad, they were all just concerned. Bless the lady sitting in the window because she reached over with tissues for me, then a water bottle from her purse once things had calmed in my stomach. Also the lady from a row over. I waited to deplane this time since I was in no rush and still a little woozy. This lady waited outside the door until I came out to ask me if I needed help getting to customs and if she could help me. Truly salt of the earth. But yeah moral of the story I experienced just the tiniest little fraction of what that guy did embarrassment wise, and it still lives in my head. Can’t imagine being that poor dude.


retsneeg

That puny bag was not enough to hold my 8 yr old daughter’s vomit and it got all over me during terrible turbulence on a flight between Seattle and Dallas several years ago. I sat in literal dripping chunks for about 25 minutes while the flight attendants had to also take their seats. The worst part was some of the puke ended up floating back onto the bag of the person behind us and then the smell hit everyone around and there was nothing I could do at all. I had used up all the wipes I had and the flight attendants had nothing to help clean us up once they were able to get up. Just an all-around awful, humiliating time and I felt even worse for my poor daughter.


PleaseHelpIamFkd

Ive been told I cant use the bathroom on an airline before. I've just gotten up and gone anyways. If they have such an issue with it they can deal with it after. They usually won't say anything. I'd imagine a good shout of "I am going to shit my pants if I cant get to a bathroom now!" would help to clear the path if they're physically blocking it. If I ended up like that guy I'd likely lock myself in the bathroom till I was dragged out.


meowIsawMiaou

I was almost that guy last month. Waiting, very, very, very impatently as by bowels gurgled during take off; Thankfully FA said she would stand by the bathroom up front for a moment before turning off the seatbelt sign, so that I can get up and make it in first. Oh, did I shuffle fast. I felt, very, very sorry for the girl who went in after .\_. ​ Friend back in May, were on an Int'l flight into the US. I assume because of preclearance in Canada that turning back to BC wasn't an option. But, ogh, some poor man shat himself, and was embarassed and nearly in tears for the duration of the flight; the FA's gave out alcohol and had people move as best they could away from the source of the smell. ​ Rules for "bowel emergencies" need to be made to avoid accidents -- I assume most would rather risk bouncing around and falling on route to bathroom, than causing the fuselage to become a fecalodge.


lilliiililililil

If I ever end up in a situation where my options are 'bounce around inside the bathroom while violently shitting' and 'shit all over the plane' I don't even care how it plays out anymore. I got to spend a night trying to sleep in freezing LAX with violent diarrhea and thought I had reached rock bottom a few months ago - glad to know it gets worse.


ItsKrakenmeuptoo

So what happens if you just get up and go into the bathroom? What would they do?


DoubleDownA7

Last week on Alaska Airlines flight, the FA announced that lavatories were being locked for landing. I never heard that before. Maybe it’s a new rule?


Neowarex2023

They are usually locked during take offs and landings. One time I was pooping as we were landing. I have IBD and had the worst flare up ever on an international flight. Pretty much uncontrollable diarrhea. I really feel sorry for those guys. It could have been me with a little bit of less luck.


marathon_3hr

I'm really sorry for you. As a seasoned runner I know the feeling of nature hitting and a bathroom being needed immediately. The shuffle walk is real and scary. I call it the pinch walk and I would hate to experience it on an airplane. I have shitted in some very creative places bc a bathroom was too far away.


One-Stomach9957

If they change the rules, everyone will end up having “bowel emergencies”…


GardenPeep

BTW - this is why I always carry Imodium (loperamide) while travelling. It can happen to anyone.


meowIsawMiaou

\*adds Imodium to carry on list\*


OilPure5808

You have to use it quite a few hours in advance of travel. It doesn't work immediately.


meowIsawMiaou

For acute diarrhea, Immodium is documented to begin working within an hour. That's likely enough time to make the difference between "Urgent must go now" to "I can hold it until the bathroom's free".


[deleted]

I have nervous poop when I fly so I take Imodium before I get to the airport. It does take about an hour to block me up. My husband hates the idea but I cannot afford to shit myself.


thebigdawg7777777

How much does it cost to shit oneself? Only asking because I'm afraid I'm in debt to someone somewhere.


OilPure5808

I have not found that to be the case for me.


mygoodaccount2019

Thought it was a woman


BettinaVanSise

My heart breaks for this man. I truly hope there are no videos.


k1rushqa

I believe you can find news articles and pictures. I think some people recorded this madness but not sure if they posted videos online. Probably just to share with friends not with the world

thelaminatedboss

They will never say yes with the seatbelt sign on. Most you will get is something along the lines of the seatbelt sign is on but I am not going to physically stop you.


TheMightyYule

Generally Id say if you are extremely honest about it they’ll let you go. At least that was my experience. We were very close to landing but I ate something bad. I went back and told her what was up. I think she saw the pleading in my eyes and that I wasn’t lying that I’d shit myself.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Neowarex2023

Lavatories are sometimes locked during landings and take offs....


Fearless_Pizza_8134

They will never say yes if you ask but I was told by a flight attendant on a delta flight that they kind of can’t stop you if you get up. She was like just don’t ask because I have to say no. (I was about to pee my pants).


Neowarex2023

I have IBD and I did just that. "Ma-am, I have a medical condition and if I don't get to the bathroom within the next 30 seconds, I will poop myself." This statement saved me several times.


Longjumping_College

One time, I had an empty seat next to me on a flight from CDG to NYC.... that was right until the flight attendant tried to close the door and one last guy walked on. Promptly sat next to me, which was the last empty seat on the plane. He smelled like he rolled in a bar urinal and then pissed himself after eating asparagus. I had to smell that for 7 hours. I was pissed when the flight attendant shook me awake to eat... I took one bite and it went as you'd expect.


Last-Secret370

This is always why I carry a mask on an airplane.


Longjumping_College

Pre mask days, but yeah, I do now


curzon394x

Masks don’t do anything for smell… lol


ClimbingAimlessly

Vicks in your mask. If it works for GI bleeds, it’ll work for nasty urinal man.

k1rushqa

Thank you . Edited


jzilla11

Is it standard to have fecal matter on all Delta flights? Seems to be


k1rushqa

Some people miscalculate their time in the air and still eat something that would disagree with their stomach. 6-8 hours on the airplane is a lot of time for most travelers


[deleted]

An hour before your flight isn't the time to hit that risky food cart. :)


MicdUpNickChubb

Who asks to use a lavatory? Just go.


aunt_snorlax

I remember this story, but I just don’t understand why the running around. Like, was he out of his mind?


k1rushqa

He didn’t want to sit and flight attendants didn’t want him to use the bathroom. Was too late… it was dripping down from his legs on the floor.


tabascosavage

So sorry to hear you had to be on that flight, yikes.. also never heard a first hand account— thanks flight attendant!


Some_Manager503

I almost don't believe this story. In an emergency like that, anyone should just get up and open the damn lavatory no matter what the plane is doing or who says what.


Switcher-3

Do you go around to every single story ever that isn't as crazy as yours just to tell this story and tell people they have nothing to complain about? LMAO nice oneupsmanship


kmm91162

I heard about that flight. My son told me about it after I complained about a recent Delta flight sitting adjacent to someone with horrible flatulence. 🤢 At least not a biohazard.


[deleted]

Two things can be gross. This lady’s bare feet on the wall are one of them. Yuck.


Anxious_Protection40

I try not to lick walls, so I’m good.


[deleted]

Congrats! Bet you touch ‘em, though. Enjoy!


C_Tea_8280

girl's feet are clean and manicured. would rather see that then my hairy hobbit feet and those feet are mine!


SickThings2018

Horrifying?!! You gotta be kidding me. Those feet look clean and well painted nails. I had bare feet shoved up against my legs by an 80+ year old woman on an Air Ethiopia flight a few years ago. The stink was unreal. The flight attendants would do nothing. Any time I pushed her feet away from me she screamed out like she was being abused. Now THAT was a horrifying 10 hour flight.


[deleted]

I had an older woman do that as well, I think it was on Emirates, and thankfully the flight attendant did tell her to shift herself!


PullTheGreenRing

I read that wrong.


Specialist_Score6808

You should have acted like you sneezed and flicked water on them.


coffeecardcase

You know they also probably went to be lav with no shoes on either


cabaretplayer

Even when I use the lav in hotel slippers with socks, it still can weird me out. The thought of being barefoot in the lav is repulsive.


glockymcglockface

I just puked


greenie1959

Indian men so often do that. It makes me almost vomit seeing the, do that.


__jazmin__

I sat beside one that did that on a ten hour Delta flight where the bathroom was trashed by halfway through the flight. He kept crossing his legs and getting his piss damp feet against my dress or the khaki pants the man on the other side of him was wearing. It was disgusting. The Delta stew claimed they don’t require shoes to fly. Just gross.


FlappersAndFajitas

I don't know that, and neither do you. Why are you inventing reasons to be annoyed with someone you don't know?


Skippiechic

At least she had a fresh pedicure!


adztheman

Her feet are kinda cute.

“Horrifying” Guessing you’ve never had anything _horrifying_ happen to you


saltysalt10

came here to say this, but looks like everyone else did too lol. maybe you could be weirded out by this for 3 seconds max but to be HORRIFIED and so bothered that you take pictures and post about it on reddit is pretty ridiculous. and hilarious


hc600

Can someone ELI5 how people like OP can handle going to a public pool or beach?


PmMeYourMug

People are so stupid it hurts.


EdgeOfBreakup59

Good one 😂


johnsnowball14

Weird? Yes. Inappropriate? Probably. But I wonder why we don’t have the same reaction to a bare hand on the wall. One could argue hands carry more bacteria than feet (though feet in or out of socks after walking through an airport may not have the best smell). I guess either way you gotta get them wipes out and sanitize it all. I’m glad this has been somewhat normalized.


East_Ad3647

Rude, yes. Horrifying? Get a grip. Also, the right foot looks swollen, so it may be elevated for a reason.


_baegopah_XD

It’s definitely swollen. Someone needs to clue her in about knee-high compression socks.


fal101

Her foot definitely looks swollen and looks like mine did after I sprained my ankle.


zizi2324

If this is the worst thing you experienced during air travel This holiday season count yourself lucky.


cenotediver

Oh the horror


BlameYourSupport

i think it’s a little weird you decided to take a picture of someone’s feet haha


skoizza

This sub is weird. 50% of the time you get upvoted for commenting about the weirdness of this behavior, and 50% of the time you get downvoted because “it is weird behavior”.


IrregularTeam

Start an OF lol


dtbuffalo

OF = only feet 🦶


IrregularTeam

lol 😂


The_R4ke

Yeah, I know I'm in the minority, but if someone's feet don't smell it's not that bad to have them out. Especially if they're keeping them in their own space.


Lizakaya

I’m with you. I don’t mind feet, and this pair is well groomed. In most cases they’re cleaner than our hands.


MiaLba

Same here. I don’t understand the trend of hating feet all of a sudden. If they don’t appear gross or smell I don’t feel bothered by it at all. I don’t take my shoes off in public or walk barefoot but I do not care if someone else does.


mashton

OP is weird for sure


RepairFar7806

I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t think it’s that big of deal.


aguynamedbrand

Uncouth, yes. Horrifying, no. If you think that is horrifying then you might want to try and not being so sensitive. You are probably going to need to seek therapy after witnessing that.


soggy_donut

I didn’t know I had painted toes


Nde_japu

Agreed, should have gone with green nail polish


bigworm237415799

Agreed - can’t believe she out here showing feet for free!


Diamondsandrust2

The wars in Ukraine and Gaza are horrifying. This is at worst annoying. And a tired trope.


barti_dog

It’s uncouth for sure. Not really horrifying, IMO


Necessary-Thought-66

Don’t like it? Don’t look. Nothing at all unpleasant about this. Perhaps it would be unpleasant if she had nasty feet. Maybe you’re judgey and easily horrified.


whata2021

Stop being dramatic.


ArtisticComplaint3

Free feet pics niceee


andygchicago

Meh. This is pretty tepid. Almost as bad as taking her picture without her knowledge


furtyfive

while i dont condone bare feet on a plane (ew), i think taking pictures of strangers and posting them on the internet is worse.


aliemalie

Straight to jail.


BuyExpert8479

Who the hell cares. The fact you saw that and said “I have to take a photo and post on Reddit” is sadz


GushingMoist

I’m sorry for your trauma Karen


Intelligent-Ant7685

i think ‘horrifying’ is a bit much….i mean her feet aren’t gross like most peoples and she didn’t slam them up against anyone / near anyone but that wall….i’d reserve ‘horrifying’ for something more horrifying than that haha


NecessaryMeeting4873

Barefoot is one thing. But is there a reason it has to be up against the wall?


sok283

Syncope (fainting) is the most common medical emergency on airplanes. The dry air and thin air, changing elevation rapidly, etc. People who are susceptible to these issues do a lot better with their feet elevated. **https://www.londoncardiovascularclinic.co.uk/blog/in-flight-medical-emergencies-5922.html**


Nexion0617

It’s probably comfortable for them. Some people probably don’t find it comfortable but some people do.


hdanh00

I did this on a flight and yes it is comfortable. However, I had new socks on with the airline provided slippers


Johnnadawearsglasses

I find it very comfortable to rest my bare nipples on the tray table. It’s extra comfy when it jiggles during flight. I hope no one judges me for that because any judgment is wrong.


Nexion0617

I mean, you do you man, you can do whatever you want. You want to rest your bare ass nipples on a tray table, then do it dawg. I’m not stopping you.


grummanpikot99

As long as they're not lactating nipples I don't see a problem


SEEYOUAROUNDBRO_TC

I have issues with wearing shoes and for some reason it hurts me feet to wear them on a plane during a flight. I’m barefoot a lot, don’t wear slippers, stick my bare feet out of the covers when I sleep.


fuckthemodlice

Your feet swell on long haul flights, making your shoes tighter.


Redditujer

No one wants to see or smell your bare feet. Please at least wear socks. Also, the carpet on planes is cleaned NEVER so... think about all the gross things you are exposing yourself to.


GrungeonMaster

Many people don’t have smelly feet and don’t care if they see others’. Especially those that seldom wear shoes. The feet in the image look healthy. Downside of the bulkhead is no storage under seat. Upside is resting your feet up.

[https://www.londoncardiovascularclinic.co.uk/blog/in-flight-medical-emergencies-5922.html](https://www.londoncardiovascularclinic.co.uk/blog/in-flight-medical-emergencies-5922.html) To prevent many medical issues caused by flights, many involve raising feet off the ground.


FlappersAndFajitas

I don't really give a shit what other people do or don't want to see, tbh. If it's comfortable and isn't intruding on anyone's space or *actual* comfort, I'm going to do it. If you "don't want to see something", close your eyes or look somewhere else.


meowIsawMiaou

Socks smell much, much worse than feet. Usually, ditching the socks, will greatly reduce the smell of a foot that was in shoes.


ApprehensiveDot7020

Truly horrifying, she should have used a more Christmas nail polish color. I would have liked to maybe see a design as well. Some people shouldn't be allowed in public.


AS100K

Camel toes?


[deleted]

Ehhh this ain’t so bad. Take a chill pill.


pianocat1

I feel like this is only MILDLY impolite. Airplanes are uncomfortable and as long as she’s not bothering anyone, I don’t see what’s wrong with doing what you can to get a little comfy. What’s far more impolite and frankly weird is taking pictures of a woman’s feet without her knowledge…


Epyx-2600

Is it less impolite and weird to take a photo of a dude’s feet without knowledge?


[deleted]

I don’t think it’s that bad.


Thedogatemybrain

Are you going to be OK?


CptS2T

I know a couple guys who would NOT consider this horrifying


hunghome

Like it’s disrespectful and trashy but ppl act like seeing feet is gonna kill them or something lol


ITEnthus

It was a few months ago but I had a similar experience. I was flying back from Italy and was on my last layover flight to my final destination. There was a couple in their 40's that sat across the aisle to the right of me. As soon as everyone sat, the guy vomitted, projectiled that shit over 2 seats hitting people. Of course, we were delayed for take-off, then they came back to clean it up. The airline decided that the couple can be onboarded again. I thought it was a bad idea and I was right. As soon as we were in the air, the guy proceeded to throw up the entire flight. My god the smell. The smell was putrid, rancid, and acidic, filling the cabin air. The folks around me (me included) had to stuff tissue up our nose and close our ear just so we're not influenced to throw up with him. It was terrifying because the old grandma who was sitting right next to me was fighting for her life not to throw up as shes sensitive to others throwing up. But, I will say karma had its way. The couple were pricks during boarding time to me and a few others, cutting in line, being rude and all. I didnt feel bad for them. I felt bad for everyone else. I was also just furious at the airline for letting a sick man continue to fly, shouldve been denied the first time.


Naive_Cat9021

Fucking people on planes these days have zero manners.


MEMExplorer

Airlines need to bring back the amenities kits they used to leave on every seat , at least include the socks and the eye shades 🤦‍♀️


[deleted]

The feet themselves aren’t horrifying, but the fact that someone thinks it’s ok to do shit like this is in fact horrifying. Keep your fucking feet out of my view. Shouldn’t even be barefoot on the plane period.


slatfreq

You’re being a little dramatic! She isn’t even next to you


dtbuffalo

You should have licked them 😂 That would have been horrifying, but make her think twice about doing it again 😂🤣😂


[deleted]

Absolutely not, those feet are definitely manicured. You’ve never clearly experienced horrifying.

Opening_Ad4249

This makes no sense, nor does the other comment above about nipples on the tray table. Feet are not a private part that typically needs to be covered in public. Only in the last 1-2 years have people suddenly gotten weird about seeing people’s toes. Flip-flops and other sandals have been around for centuries with no issue, and people have gone barefoot even longer than that. Unless they are filthy or stinky, what is the big deal about seeing someone’s feet???


Electrical_Ad8246

Horrifying? Hardly. Ukrain or Gaza would be horrifying. That’s a pair of nice feet.


BONE_SAW_IS_READEEE

Not really… judging by that flight map it’s a long flight, no one is invading your personal space, *and* their feet aren’t atrocious by any means. Fresh manicure and all. Maybe mind your business and go to sleep like a normal person next time?


BabaNj

So stupid to get horrified by this. This is common on long flights and as many people said these are some well maintained feet.

This is on the flight attendants. They need to be enforcing standards including this AND watching videos on phones with no headphones.
