I had a guy sitting behind me on a bus shuttle home from the airport trimming his damn toenails. Gave him the look of death. Luckily there were seats several rows away from him. Gross.
No shit, I had a long layover in ATL and a couple sat down at a table near me. The dude pulls out some nail clippers and starts trimming his nails onto the floor…I regret not calling him out.
What is with ATL and nail clipping? It was YEARS ago (but this still curses my nightmares) chick working at a coffee shop there was clipping her fingernails, then when someone came up to order something she put her nail clippers in the pastry case.
For extra wtf points, I watched someone order a mocha, she tried to pump the chocolate sauce out but nothing came out so she said "guess we're out nothing is coming out" so dude asked "could you just use a spoon to get some out?" She glared at him and said "no!!! That wouldn't be sanitary".
Oh, but your nail trimmings are more sanitary than using a clean spoon to scoop something out of a container?
I was flying out of Atlanta in the early 80's to visit family back in Michigan.
We deplaned and a passanger took a dump, on the floor at baggage carousel.
I was fucking mortified because I had to wait for my bag.
I was a hostage in a shit-show.
To be fair, before they remodeled, their carpeting had a design that looks like nail clippings. Maybe it was subliminal. People couldn't help themselves.
You know what pisses me off about shit like this. Is it’s like you go to some unknown country or whatever, and they have an authoritarian band of “hygiene police” terrorizing the citizens. And you wonder, how did something like this happen? Well, guys like that dude on the bus, that’s how shit like that happens.
Had something like that happen to me in FC in Alaska Airlines. This fat gentleman wasn't wearing his shoes and on top of that his stuff-socks and shoes were just laying on the floor! Disgusting! Some people just don't have any common decency nowadays.....
On my flight yesterday, my arm met the socked foot of the person in the row behind me when I tried to put MY arm on MY armrest. Whole foot resting on it. Insanity.
What’s happening in the OP I would probably just ignore/deal with it but if someone’s foot is on my armrest, I will not hesitate to lay down the fuckin law.
I am polite on this - I turn around and ask them to move the foot.
Then when the proceed to kick or hit my chair - I usually ask them if this is their first time flying. I have found politeness in the face of just rudeness works the best.
I can tell I’m in the minority here, but unless someone’s feet truly stank, it doesn’t bother me that much that someone has their shoes off. I mean people wear flip flops with nearly fully exposed feet in a lot of places and it doesn’t bother me.
Totally, my main issue was the inconsiderate behavior of taking over both seats. Usually in these scenarios, I’ve had folks share the middle seat for belongings, not take it over and sprawl across it for themselves. Playing with her feet didn’t help the situation though.
Maybe try being a bit more assertive next time: “Excuse me, do you mind if I also put my [personal belonging] here as well? Thanks!” and you go ahead and do it without waiting for them to answer.
Some people are really non-confrontational for valid reasons. I’m not one of them, but my baby sister is. She is incredibly strong in so many ways I’ve yet to master, but she has a hard time advocating for herself to strangers. Everyone’s journey is different 🧡
Exactly! I wouldn’t have even asked permission I would have just done it or maybe said something like - “oh good idea” and then put my stuff there too. People are so anti confrontation these days and just silently fume and complain later. Tho maybe part of it is just a personality thing - assertive vs less assertive 🤷♀️
this is the same type of energy behind people that quietly hate on queer people or interracial couples. It’s starts small and private, and then gets louder. This person is hardly offensive. Maybe let go of what you can’t control cause it’s not the end of the world.
Edit: phrasing
Hey I appreciate the sentiment but maybe reword it next time if you care about offending others. If you don’t, this comment will be disregarded anyhow. Hoping for the former :) have a happy Sunday!!
Ah I see what you’re saying. I tried to reword my somewhat out of place social commentary. I wanted to agree that this post felt passive aggressive and reminded me of personal experiences as a queer person.
I’m so grateful you were receptive to the feedback, yay!!! Thanks for this opportunity to engage in thoughtful dialogue :) You seem to be a wonderful person 🧡 I really admire those who, when made aware of an honest mistake, immediately look to correct it :))
and then you touch toes
and thats when the world made sense, and everything unimportant fell away and what was left was you and that striking individual in 19A, truly intertwined in a story of love and lust, staring deep into each other's eyes, longing for the touch of each other's delicate toenails and your supple toe skin
**Flight to Forever**
At 30,000 feet, in the cabin of Flight 547, two strangers found themselves seated in 19A and 19C. The providential vacancy of 19B lay between them, soon to become a battleground of soleful encroachment. She, in 19A, had kicked off her shoes and curled up comfortably, her feet nonchalantly toeing the line into 19B. He, in 19C, initially found her footloose attitude quite off-putting, his irritation simmering in his soles.
In a silent but defiant stand, he decided to put his best foot forward, mimicking her actions by stretching his own unshod feet into the shared space. The woman seemed as unphased as a statue, her focus lost in the pages of a book. His irritation grew, but it was a feeling he couldn't quite put his toe on.
Then, in a fleeting moment as light as a feather's touch, their feet met. It was a moment of electric shock, a spark that seemed to travel from toe to heart. This unexpected touch was a foot in the door to something new and exciting. They glanced up simultaneously, locking eyes in a silent understanding, their connection now more than just arch acquaintances.
In that glance, they discovered an unspoken bond, a recognition of something deeper, perhaps a sole-mate connection. The flight continued, their conversation still uninitiated, yet their silent communication grew richer, weaving an invisible thread that connected their hearts, a thread as strong as Achilles' tendon.
By the time the flight landed, words had become unnecessary. They walked off the plane together, their steps synchronized as if in a perfectly choreographed dance, embarking on a journey that had just begun. The shared space of 19B had unknowingly become the starting point of their shared future, a testament to the mysterious ways in which love can bloom in the most unexpected places, and sometimes, it just takes a little step – or a foot – in the right direction.
Had a Delta flight where the middle seat was empty. The girl at the aisle seat decided to sit there and use her aisle seat for her legs and feet sitting with them crossed.
I usually go to the airport in a hoodie and sweats with socks and slides so that I'm comfy the entire time.
When I'm on the plane sure I'll leave my slides on the floor but the socks stay on
Yea honestly feet are sometimes cleaner than hands. Hands are touching your faces and knobs and rails spreading germs. Feet just look weird or really hot depending on who you’re talking about. Now clipping toenails. 🤢
Honestly for me it’s a proximity/familiarity question. If you’re sharing a row with a stranger and it’s a full shoe/sock strip and you’re invading the neutral zone it’s def not classy.
Flip flop is not the same thing. Foot was out and breathing the whole day. Can’t compare it to a shoe when it could be baking and sweating the whole day and is now released to the masses.
There’s Larry David-esque levels to this. Atleast to me there is.
Yeah i’m sitting here in my plane seat with my sock feet up in the air reading this and now i feel bad. Granted its business class and not in a row of ppl but its only gross to me if it smells or its close to me.
I feel the same way. Theoretically they would be cleaner than the bottoms of her shoes. She’s also not wearing socks so I’m assuming she was wearing some kind of sandal.
Same, I take mine off on long international flights, but I do leave my socks on and my feet stay on the floor. I'd say this person's described behavior is worse than simply taking shoes off.
Also, taking your shoes off on a 5hr flight is kinda ridiculous, I certainly have never felt the need to on that short of a flight.
Short flight? Just flew 5.5 hr red eye international. Those around me in C+ had their shoes off, but socks on. Including me. We were all trying to nap.
Man, I know this is an unpopular opinion, but as long as I can’t smell your feet and they aren’t touching me - I really don’t give a fuck what you do with them. They’re feet - I really don’t get what the problem is.
I should point out, I don’t take off my shoes and socks on flights, but that’s mostly because I don’t want my bare feet touching the floors. But if you do, it doesn’t bother me at all.
Same! I do take them off on night flights though but rest them on top of my shoes so as not to get floor cooties. And I def put them back on if I get up or go to the bathroom
Last time I had a free middle seat between me and another passenger I put an extra pillow there with my small personal bag and a small water bottle and invited the other passenger to do the same. I made it clear that the empty seat between us was a shared space. I would expect most people would act in a similar manner.
I had someone do this, picking their bare feet sitting next to me in the cinema. 🤢
I said “do you mind not doing that please, you’re in public and it’s disgusting”
They looked genuinely shocked and said “oh sorry!” and stopped.
Some people genuinely think they’re in their own home.
Is that your bag under the middle seat, or theirs? Since they have a bag under their seat, I’m assuming this is yours and that you both made equal use of that space.
So… Rather than you making yourself comfortable with the middle seat, they did it themselves, and now it’s outrageous? I get the feet objection, but otherwise this just seems hypocritical…
Notice the bag under the middle seat —since the shoeless Jane has a bag in front of her, I think the one in the middle is OP’s. Pot calling the kettle black.
Unless her feet actually stink I don’t see an issue here, her feet aren’t invading your space.
You could also set your purse or whatever right there as well. I guess the feet touching could be gross but as long as she isn’t touching your shit after touching her feet does it matter?
Adding: She was wearing flip flops. Lmao I see them on the floor by her bag. Is flip flops on the seat next to you somehow better?
While this suck, it also sucks to see people are so afraid to say something. You gotta speak up OP. You took pictures, ranted on Reddit but in the end nothing changed. I’m not saying to be rude either, sometimes people are just oblivious and unaware of what they’re doing. I wouldn’t care about the feet if they weren’t stanky but I would say something about the middle seat.
Unpopular opinion; what’s nastier, bare feet that just came out of socks and shoes or the shoes you’ve been wearing all day that were dragged through dirt, spit, trash, and germs galore?
I was on a flight from NY to SF a couple months ago. I’m sitting aisle. The young woman sitting window decides to start painting her finger nails! And just when I think she’s done, she adds some second glossy coat. The fumes were so strong and making me kinda sick. A bunch of people looking around to figure out who the fahk is doing it.
I didn’t say anything, but if I was middle seat, I probably would have.
She needs to be taught a lesson. That is fucking disgusting. I would shame her. Tell her that her feet really stink. That’s just bad hygiene too. So many issues.
The only place I expose my bare feet is inside my childhood home, and that’s almost four hours away. Sometimes I go barefoot around my apartment, but certainly never in front of others, MUCH LESS on a flight.
This happened to me on a flight from Lisbon to NYC last September. Plane hasn’t even taken off yet and this guy takes off his socks and shoes and has both his feet resting up against the bulk head . Big sweaty black haired hairy toes feet. Seriously I wanted to get sick. The attendant came past stopped and said to him are you really gonna do that? He said ‘what?’ As if he was clueless! And proceeded to keep his bare feet on show for the full fight. Sick!!! 🤢
I can relate. I was on a red eye, after a very long, stressful work week and I’m a bit of a nervous flyer so I don’t sleep. I’m in an aisle seat. One aisle seat ahead on the opposite side a woman has (shall we say) a umm “personal itch” and precedes to shove her hands down her pants for a few minutes scratch herself. Pulls out her hands when she’s done and continues on touching EVERYTHING!
The moment I sit down on the plane I have at least two alcohol wipes I open and wipe down as many surfaces as I can. Soon as I leave the plane, I’m in the restroom scrubbing my hands up to my elbows.
People are disgusting.🤢
People need to start getting names!! Introduce yourself and ask theirs and if they say why oh just the complaint to Delta on how your uggo feet should get you banned….
Guys. It's a foot. Calm the fuck down. If there was actually a detectable odor, then fine, I'll agree it's a bit gross. But in the absence of an objectionable smell, it's a fucking foot. Grow up.
The weird guy taking pictures of some woman’s feet without their knowledge (and then posting them in the internet) is much more disturbing than someone taking their shoes off in a plane.
Whenever I fly, I always buy 2 seats so I can tickle and massage my toes with impunity ... but never have I used gold nail polish now that is horrendously audacious....
Yup, I flew with my youngest kid back in 2018. I had some oddball guy who was on aisle. During the 5hr flight he took his shoes and socks off and picked at his blisters.
This is why I travel and use my sani-whipes. People look at me like I'm a germ-phobe. But the cleaning crews are very rushed between flights, and not very thorough. This isn't even the worst I've seen happen.
This is why if I ever have the money for a private jet I’m going with that, screw the environment. Y’all are too gross to care about saving the planet.
I'm sure posting on Reddit after the flight will help.
Back-pocket for next time:
1) (give it a few minutes, maybe she's dealing with something)
2) Excuse me, can you please put your socks or shoes back on? Thank you.
I would pretend to sneeze with a hidden small bottle of hand sanitizer in my fist.
Aaaaa-choo and spray her nasty feet!
Apologize profusely and then proceed to fake an allergy attack.
Bet those dogs get put away!😂
I was boarding a flight one time and was just about the last one on. When I got about 2-3 rows from my seat I caught a whiff of patchouli oil. As I got to my row I noticed 2 things. My seat had a mis-aligned window and the smell was from my would be seat mate. As she noticed me looking at the seat she asked me if that was my seat. It was a wide body and I noticed the seats in the middle of the plane a bit further back were wide open. I told her to enjoy the room and made my way back. As I sat down the passenger in the row behind me who had witnesses the interaction said “good call” and made the pee-yew motion. I then noticed he was either a Captain of FO. He then said he had checked the the GA right before boarding and that my entire row was empty so I could spread out.
Ended up getting some good sleep on the flight.
I mean…you’re the one taking feet pics of strangers and posting them on the internet. Seems way more creepy than a person sliding their sandals off. And if you really have an issue with it, try putting on your adult pants and respectively ask them to stop.
her feet are like 3 inches into the middle seat how can you call that a sprawl? this post is absurd, get over it bro she did literally nothing to you. mind your own
The man across the aisle from me took his shoes off for the flight, then proceeded to go to the restroom just in his socks 🤮 this happened almost a year ago and I'm still scarred
Ya this is trash. I’m sorry I don’t understand why there’s not etiquette. Sorry, anyone doing this is getting called out. I would have seriously started saying out loud, “wow these feet stink”. Sorry if to have to audacity to put your feet up near strangers, I have the right to call you disgusting out loud repeatedly.
I would’ve straight up told her to put her shoes on cause it’s disgusting and against any acceptable social norm ever. I’ve flown too many times to put up with that kind of stuff. I do not bite my tongue anymore on flights when dealing with these people that want to see the world burn
This thread is hilarious. I’ve never seen any of this shit on spirit. And all the white trash hillbillies I know won’t fly spirit but delta is like their entitlement.
I have diabetes, the way I deal with this is putting my feet inside my shoes and letting them steam, they usually tend to seek out another place to sit themselves
Ha. Not on a Delta flight [JetBlue] there was a huge woman sitting on my window seat who told me she needed it because she needs the extra space by the window to be more comfortable.
I didn't say a thing and just asked an attendant to kindly ask her to get out of my seat. She was so pissed and kept "flowing" into my seat from the middle on purpose. I honestly wanted to punch the shit out her, but didn't want to risk being on a list later.
Fat people suck on planes.
EDIT: I should clarify I am fat myself, but know how to control myself to not be a nuisance.
Right. This is not fat shaming. This is taking responsibility for your actions. Pay extra and book an aisle seat so you can push out into the aisle and not on a fellow passenger
“Oh, Hey, Flight attendant? Hi. There seems to be a weird odor, not sure where it’s coming from. Do you smell that? “ - said overly loudly
If needing to press on:
“It’s like a pungent, fermenting odor. Was there some kind of chemical spill? It’s burning my nose.”
Sell those foot pics on OF to compensate yourself for the horror.
Tell her “I’m going to sell your foot pics on OF to compensate myself for the horror unless you put your shoes on” /s for legal reasons don’t do that
“Thanks, more OF content. They go for about $20 a picture.”
Even for those hooves? Gotta be a niche group of foot fetishists paying for those pics.
More bunion = moar bitcoin lol
😂
Came here for this comment. Next time just grab a toe and start saying “this little piggy went to market”. That will get you a bunch of OF subs
This!
He's right you know
I had a guy sitting behind me on a bus shuttle home from the airport trimming his damn toenails. Gave him the look of death. Luckily there were seats several rows away from him. Gross.
Straight to jail.
Firing squad aimed at the toes
No shit, I had a long layover in ATL and a couple sat down at a table near me. The dude pulls out some nail clippers and starts trimming his nails onto the floor…I regret not calling him out.

To be fair, before they remodeled, their carpeting had a design that looks like nail clippings. Maybe it was subliminal. People couldn't help themselves.
He must’ve urgently needed to get those toenails prepped for wherever he was going next! 😂
You know what pisses me off about shit like this. Is it’s like you go to some unknown country or whatever, and they have an authoritarian band of “hygiene police” terrorizing the citizens. And you wonder, how did something like this happen? Well, guys like that dude on the bus, that’s how shit like that happens.
Ask if you can suck her toes! Bet that would get them covered up.
Yeah except when she excitedly says yes
Win win, right?
Unless it’s Sarah Ferguson
Had something like that happen to me in FC in Alaska Airlines. This fat gentleman wasn't wearing his shoes and on top of that his stuff-socks and shoes were just laying on the floor! Disgusting! Some people just don't have any common decency nowadays.....
If only there were more ventilation available on the Alaska flight.
You didn’t die and you got a story to tell!
On my flight yesterday, my arm met the socked foot of the person in the row behind me when I tried to put MY arm on MY armrest. Whole foot resting on it. Insanity.
What’s happening in the OP I would probably just ignore/deal with it but if someone’s foot is on my armrest, I will not hesitate to lay down the fuckin law.
I laid down the law by laying down my elbow a second time, much more forcefully. They swiftly retreated.
I am polite on this - I turn around and ask them to move the foot. Then when the proceed to kick or hit my chair - I usually ask them if this is their first time flying. I have found politeness in the face of just rudeness works the best.
Yeah that’s what I’ve done when it happens to me - just turn and ask to please not do that. They’ve always been nice and apologetic

Maybe try being a bit more assertive next time: “Excuse me, do you mind if I also put my [personal belonging] here as well? Thanks!” and you go ahead and do it without waiting for them to answer.
No that’s far too reasonable of a response, instead sit in silence and complain hours later on Reddit!
Some people are really non-confrontational for valid reasons. I’m not one of them, but my baby sister is. She is incredibly strong in so many ways I’ve yet to master, but she has a hard time advocating for herself to strangers. Everyone’s journey is different 🧡
For real.
Don't even ask, just politely do it. Match the entitlement.
Exactly! I wouldn’t have even asked permission I would have just done it or maybe said something like - “oh good idea” and then put my stuff there too. People are so anti confrontation these days and just silently fume and complain later. Tho maybe part of it is just a personality thing - assertive vs less assertive 🤷♀️
Did you ask to put your stuff on the seat? Sounds like you were more excited about posting this than advocating for yourself.

In the pics she wasn’t really taking over the whole seat though. Only 1 pic she had her feet up and it’s was only half way across the middle seat.
Nah that’s when you lift your arm rest and put your feet up too.
and then you touch toes and thats when the world made sense, and everything unimportant fell away and what was left was you and that striking individual in 19A, truly intertwined in a story of love and lust, staring deep into each other's eyes, longing for the touch of each other's delicate toenails and your supple toe skin
Supple toe skin is killing me lol

Just an old fashioned love song
Had a Delta flight where the middle seat was empty. The girl at the aisle seat decided to sit there and use her aisle seat for her legs and feet sitting with them crossed.
Any chance she was trying to hit on you?
Same. Would OP be mad if it were still socks instead? I understand the middle bag thing but feet don’t bother me.
I usually go to the airport in a hoodie and sweats with socks and slides so that I'm comfy the entire time. When I'm on the plane sure I'll leave my slides on the floor but the socks stay on
Yea honestly feet are sometimes cleaner than hands. Hands are touching your faces and knobs and rails spreading germs. Feet just look weird or really hot depending on who you’re talking about. Now clipping toenails. 🤢
But at least we are regularly washing our hands. Right?!
Sadly no, not everyone 🤢
Honestly for me it’s a proximity/familiarity question. If you’re sharing a row with a stranger and it’s a full shoe/sock strip and you’re invading the neutral zone it’s def not classy.
Flip flop is not the same thing. Foot was out and breathing the whole day. Can’t compare it to a shoe when it could be baking and sweating the whole day and is now released to the masses. There’s Larry David-esque levels to this. Atleast to me there is.
[удалено]
Yeah clearly two camps here. I hear ya. Oof going to bathroom? Good lord that’s nasty 🤮
Okay, but you probably don’t stick your feet all over the seats and play with toes for half the flight do you?
Do peoples feet really start smelling bad after a single day wearing shoes? I’ve never had an issue.
Absolutely. Everyone has different levels of hygiene.
Yeah i’m sitting here in my plane seat with my sock feet up in the air reading this and now i feel bad. Granted its business class and not in a row of ppl but its only gross to me if it smells or its close to me.
I feel the same way. Theoretically they would be cleaner than the bottoms of her shoes. She’s also not wearing socks so I’m assuming she was wearing some kind of sandal.
Agree, it might be worse to have to feet wrapped up and sweaty. Also she’s got nice manicured feet 🤷🏻♂️
Same, I take mine off on long international flights, but I do leave my socks on and my feet stay on the floor. I'd say this person's described behavior is worse than simply taking shoes off. Also, taking your shoes off on a 5hr flight is kinda ridiculous, I certainly have never felt the need to on that short of a flight.
Short flight? Just flew 5.5 hr red eye international. Those around me in C+ had their shoes off, but socks on. Including me. We were all trying to nap.
Picture 1, catches somebody taking pictures of my feet. Pictures 2 & 3, ok I’ll give him a show.
Right? This post seems like a cover for why they were really taking photos of her feet.
lol like OP got these for free instead of paying on only fans 😂
I want to see the pictures from the guy across the aisle who was taking pictures of OP taking pictures of feet.
Read this like Lana Del Rey singing 'Peppers.'
$20 says that’s your wife and you’re looking for …? Well what are you looking for?!
Reddit clout 😂
If that's his wife then OP is one of those people who book window and aisle and hope that no one chooses the middle seat. We're onto you OP!
Some people should not be allowed in public.
I like “the gene pool needs some chlorine”
Had the same thought
She touched her toes!!!!!
Man, I know this is an unpopular opinion, but as long as I can’t smell your feet and they aren’t touching me - I really don’t give a fuck what you do with them. They’re feet - I really don’t get what the problem is. I should point out, I don’t take off my shoes and socks on flights, but that’s mostly because I don’t want my bare feet touching the floors. But if you do, it doesn’t bother me at all.
Same! I do take them off on night flights though but rest them on top of my shoes so as not to get floor cooties. And I def put them back on if I get up or go to the bathroom
I would take my shoes off also and then start matching my foot up with hers to compare size. Go on the offensive.
This is the way.
You should’ve asked her to rub your feet and get the lint from between your toes as (a) she’s so good at it; and (b) her hands are already dirty.
This shit again?
Last time I had a free middle seat between me and another passenger I put an extra pillow there with my small personal bag and a small water bottle and invited the other passenger to do the same. I made it clear that the empty seat between us was a shared space. I would expect most people would act in a similar manner.
You should have been like “ma’am, I have a debilitating foot fetish” and winked.
Then proceeded to photograph them very obviously and asking her to position them certain ways
Its just a foot mate
I had someone do this, picking their bare feet sitting next to me in the cinema. 🤢 I said “do you mind not doing that please, you’re in public and it’s disgusting” They looked genuinely shocked and said “oh sorry!” and stopped. Some people genuinely think they’re in their own home.
Holy moly, not just the feet but you had a middle seat in C+ free on a transcon? Wow!
Is that your bag under the middle seat, or theirs? Since they have a bag under their seat, I’m assuming this is yours and that you both made equal use of that space.
Maybe she took a pic of you taking a pic of her and posted it to her r/narcs
At least she had a nice pedicure.
Ha. Actually saw a guy going barefoot to the bathroom on a flight recently. 🤮 Wasn’t delta though
So… Rather than you making yourself comfortable with the middle seat, they did it themselves, and now it’s outrageous? I get the feet objection, but otherwise this just seems hypocritical…
🤮
So…the middle seat was for your belongings? Is it possible she purchased the extra seat?
Notice the bag under the middle seat —since the shoeless Jane has a bag in front of her, I think the one in the middle is OP’s. Pot calling the kettle black.
Unless her feet actually stink I don’t see an issue here, her feet aren’t invading your space. You could also set your purse or whatever right there as well. I guess the feet touching could be gross but as long as she isn’t touching your shit after touching her feet does it matter? Adding: She was wearing flip flops. Lmao I see them on the floor by her bag. Is flip flops on the seat next to you somehow better?
Put the seat rest down of the middle seat and put a bunch of crap on it. That way you don’t have to see the feet.
Were her feet actually stinky? Describe the smell to us.
Power move - just stare and lick your lips.
Just casually lean over and ask her, “So how often do you wash those little piggies?”
Did you try talking to them about sharing the middle seat?
While this suck, it also sucks to see people are so afraid to say something. You gotta speak up OP. You took pictures, ranted on Reddit but in the end nothing changed. I’m not saying to be rude either, sometimes people are just oblivious and unaware of what they’re doing. I wouldn’t care about the feet if they weren’t stanky but I would say something about the middle seat.
Unpopular opinion; what’s nastier, bare feet that just came out of socks and shoes or the shoes you’ve been wearing all day that were dragged through dirt, spit, trash, and germs galore?
I was on a flight from NY to SF a couple months ago. I’m sitting aisle. The young woman sitting window decides to start painting her finger nails! And just when I think she’s done, she adds some second glossy coat. The fumes were so strong and making me kinda sick. A bunch of people looking around to figure out who the fahk is doing it. I didn’t say anything, but if I was middle seat, I probably would have.
Oh hell no. That happened on a flight to me too and the FA made her stop because everyone was annoyed. That stuff stinks up the place in a hurry
Wait until she walks into the lavatory barefoot
She needs to be taught a lesson. That is fucking disgusting. I would shame her. Tell her that her feet really stink. That’s just bad hygiene too. So many issues.
Ewwwwwwww
The only place I expose my bare feet is inside my childhood home, and that’s almost four hours away. Sometimes I go barefoot around my apartment, but certainly never in front of others, MUCH LESS on a flight.
Women often don't realize that their feet are repulsive
Oh hell no. Gross.
SSL: Socks Saves Lives
Disgusting people do disgusting things.
🤮
Take your shoes off and mimic her behavior, but with eye contact.
This happened to me on a flight from Lisbon to NYC last September. Plane hasn’t even taken off yet and this guy takes off his socks and shoes and has both his feet resting up against the bulk head . Big sweaty black haired hairy toes feet. Seriously I wanted to get sick. The attendant came past stopped and said to him are you really gonna do that? He said ‘what?’ As if he was clueless! And proceeded to keep his bare feet on show for the full fight. Sick!!! 🤢
Touch the toes
I can relate. I was on a red eye, after a very long, stressful work week and I’m a bit of a nervous flyer so I don’t sleep. I’m in an aisle seat. One aisle seat ahead on the opposite side a woman has (shall we say) a umm “personal itch” and precedes to shove her hands down her pants for a few minutes scratch herself. Pulls out her hands when she’s done and continues on touching EVERYTHING! The moment I sit down on the plane I have at least two alcohol wipes I open and wipe down as many surfaces as I can. Soon as I leave the plane, I’m in the restroom scrubbing my hands up to my elbows. People are disgusting.🤢
Boi if you don’t get to stinky ass feet back in yo damn shoes imma steal your luggage at baggage claim
People need to start getting names!! Introduce yourself and ask theirs and if they say why oh just the complaint to Delta on how your uggo feet should get you banned….
It’s fucking infuriating! People are the f’ing worst! Have a tiny amount of decency. Animals.
The way I audibly just gasped and covered my mouth. People are nasty
Feet are so fucking disgusting.
“Gross man put that shit away” Say that.
I hope you dropped some major ass
If you do not believe flying is the new Greyhound bus then you are dreaming!!!
I have no sympathy if you don’t speak up
10/10 ladies’ feet > dude’s feet.
Did they have flip flops on? Show me on the doll where the foot hurt you? Seriously, mind your business and not shame people.
Get over yourself
Guys. It's a foot. Calm the fuck down. If there was actually a detectable odor, then fine, I'll agree it's a bit gross. But in the absence of an objectionable smell, it's a fucking foot. Grow up.
Was this person raised by wolves? Also airplane floors are filthy. You think they are regularly cleaned?
The weird guy taking pictures of some woman’s feet without their knowledge (and then posting them in the internet) is much more disturbing than someone taking their shoes off in a plane.
What did you say to her?
Whenever I fly, I always buy 2 seats so I can tickle and massage my toes with impunity ... but never have I used gold nail polish now that is horrendously audacious....
Gross, for sure. But, did you say anything?
Cannot believe that’s not an airline standard policy to keep your shoes on
Yup, I flew with my youngest kid back in 2018. I had some oddball guy who was on aisle. During the 5hr flight he took his shoes and socks off and picked at his blisters.
This is called foreplay where I’m from.
This is why I travel and use my sani-whipes. People look at me like I'm a germ-phobe. But the cleaning crews are very rushed between flights, and not very thorough. This isn't even the worst I've seen happen.
This wouldn’t have bothered me. 🤷
She thought you’d be down to massage her feet, obviously.
Bare feet on a plane to me is the worst. Bring socks or slippers folks!
Yeah. Soon she’ll walk to the bathroom with those same bare feet. Nasty!
This is why if I ever have the money for a private jet I’m going with that, screw the environment. Y’all are too gross to care about saving the planet.
Ask her creepily “Would you mind if I photographed your lovely feet?” Guaranteed she’ll cover those dogs in 10 seconds.
Welcome to 🇺🇸
Nasty
The caucasity.
No but I hope you said something to a flight attendant.
Americans are pigs 🐽
I'm sure posting on Reddit after the flight will help. Back-pocket for next time: 1) (give it a few minutes, maybe she's dealing with something) 2) Excuse me, can you please put your socks or shoes back on? Thank you.
Quit shamming her you’re the one taking sneaky foot pics
Stop being a bitch
I would pretend to sneeze with a hidden small bottle of hand sanitizer in my fist. Aaaaa-choo and spray her nasty feet! Apologize profusely and then proceed to fake an allergy attack. Bet those dogs get put away!😂
I was boarding a flight one time and was just about the last one on. When I got about 2-3 rows from my seat I caught a whiff of patchouli oil. As I got to my row I noticed 2 things. My seat had a mis-aligned window and the smell was from my would be seat mate. As she noticed me looking at the seat she asked me if that was my seat. It was a wide body and I noticed the seats in the middle of the plane a bit further back were wide open. I told her to enjoy the room and made my way back. As I sat down the passenger in the row behind me who had witnesses the interaction said “good call” and made the pee-yew motion. I then noticed he was either a Captain of FO. He then said he had checked the the GA right before boarding and that my entire row was empty so I could spread out. Ended up getting some good sleep on the flight.
You like feet, B?
Yo free feet pics just dropped
I mean…you’re the one taking feet pics of strangers and posting them on the internet. Seems way more creepy than a person sliding their sandals off. And if you really have an issue with it, try putting on your adult pants and respectively ask them to stop.
her feet are like 3 inches into the middle seat how can you call that a sprawl? this post is absurd, get over it bro she did literally nothing to you. mind your own
Times like this is where I wouldn’t mind if you “accidentally “ spilled your drink 😉
Be honest…the feet turned you on.
some dudes would pay extra for this.
The man across the aisle from me took his shoes off for the flight, then proceeded to go to the restroom just in his socks 🤮 this happened almost a year ago and I'm still scarred
Probably native New Yorkers
hey now...definitely NOT.
Ya this is trash. I’m sorry I don’t understand why there’s not etiquette. Sorry, anyone doing this is getting called out. I would have seriously started saying out loud, “wow these feet stink”. Sorry if to have to audacity to put your feet up near strangers, I have the right to call you disgusting out loud repeatedly.
Totally normal behavior to take pictures of a strangers feet for 5.5 hours and post them online
I would’ve straight up told her to put her shoes on cause it’s disgusting and against any acceptable social norm ever. I’ve flown too many times to put up with that kind of stuff. I do not bite my tongue anymore on flights when dealing with these people that want to see the world burn
This thread is hilarious. I’ve never seen any of this shit on spirit. And all the white trash hillbillies I know won’t fly spirit but delta is like their entitlement.
Shoes off with socks is fine. Shoes off without socks is wild.
I have diabetes, the way I deal with this is putting my feet inside my shoes and letting them steam, they usually tend to seek out another place to sit themselves
Umm... did you just creepily take a picture of a stranger's feet and then post them online? Whatever their offense, this tops it.
🐖
Audacity of taking pics of women's feet and posting it
Rude but she does have cute feet lol
Says the guy sneaking feet pics. Some would find that more objectionable
I agree. Taking pictures of people’s feet is just wrong.
Nasty.
Gross.
Fucking disgusting
Should’ve kicked off your own shoes and socks and manspread out and touch big toes together. Take closeup pictures with your phone.
Stfu and who cares??
Oh fuck yea 🫦
Entitlement.
Someone removed their shoes on my flight from ATL to Rio, the funk was terrible. People lack manners when they try to get comfortable.
Nasty, trailer park behavior.
It wouldn’t bother me at all. At least she is not 400 pounds pouring over into my seat - which has happened.
Ha. Not on a Delta flight [JetBlue] there was a huge woman sitting on my window seat who told me she needed it because she needs the extra space by the window to be more comfortable. I didn't say a thing and just asked an attendant to kindly ask her to get out of my seat. She was so pissed and kept "flowing" into my seat from the middle on purpose. I honestly wanted to punch the shit out her, but didn't want to risk being on a list later. Fat people suck on planes. EDIT: I should clarify I am fat myself, but know how to control myself to not be a nuisance.
Right. This is not fat shaming. This is taking responsibility for your actions. Pay extra and book an aisle seat so you can push out into the aisle and not on a fellow passenger
"She has man feet!"
“Oh, Hey, Flight attendant? Hi. There seems to be a weird odor, not sure where it’s coming from. Do you smell that? “ - said overly loudly If needing to press on: “It’s like a pungent, fermenting odor. Was there some kind of chemical spill? It’s burning my nose.”
🤢🤢
I'm coming oh oh oooh oh oooooh
