Think of the most unusual (or disgusting) scene you've ever seen on a plane flight. Now imagine sharing that with more than 745,000 followers on Instagram? This is how "Passenger Shaming" works, an Instagram account dedicated to spreading the most bizarre moments and bad manners seen on flights - and recorded by passengers or commissioners.
The public shaming site was started by Shawn Kathleen — a mom, former police officer and paramedic who worked as a flight attendant for seven years. She came up with the original concept and started the brand on her own approximately five years ago. It has since been featured in most media outlets across the globe and was named one of the “Best 100 Instagram accounts" by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Scroll down and see just how rude people can get while on a plane for yourself!

I’m Only Posting This Photo So No One Else Sends It To Me
This Darwin Award Passenger Was Cold... So She Used The Plastic Bag (That Was Holding Blanket / Pillow) And Put It Over Her Head To Warm Up
Packing At The Gate 5 Minutes Before The Flight Like
Maybe she is a subject of random selection and they messed up her bag and she has to repack. Is it a nuisance? Yeah, but so is random selection sometimes.
Parenting Is Hard, Guys
I guess the parents might have been asleep. Could have been a 12 hour flight and the kid was trying to keep themselves busy and not wake mum or dad.
A For Effort, Dude!
Out of the million things you can do on a plane - watching a movie, listening to music, talking to the person next to you, socializing, being a good fellow passenger - you watch porn... Whoa!

That Woman
No This Wasn't A 348 Day Long Flight
Can we ban these people from flights please? Or at least make them clean up after themselves?
Must. Be. First. To. Get. Bag

If he was good at it and played it well, it must've been a best case scenario. But if he was practising.... God save them
Solid Air Travel Hat Choice
I don' t see anything bad about it. It's not like he's bothering someone. And he may be a pyrotechnic. So what?

Boy! Flying these days looks horrible! And to think being a flight attendant was my teenage dream job! I remember traveling with my father in the early 60s, when you wore nice clothing, and acted respectably. Now the staff has to deal with these awful passengers.
Well, flying got much cheaper, so it's not a very special experience now. Standards have fallen pretty low, but I'm not sure it's entirely the passengers' fault. Airline companies do their best to make flying less and less convenient and comfortable, so it's no surprise that some people just don't give a s**t anymore... Personally, I avoid economy class if I can now. Only because the quality of services is so low... Wasn't the case when I started flying intensively 15 years ago.
I would love to be able to avoid economy class too... Though when you see the pictures or even give a look at the state of the business class when exiting a flight, you see that the problem comes from the passengers and not the services. I am also pretty sure that the people who think that it is OK to put their feet on your armrest in a plane are the same who do it at the cinema as well...
Behaving like a pig with no consideration for people around you has nothing to do with the company or how cheap the ticket is - you're either a decent human being who knows how to behave or a selfish twat with no manners
@Bepina Indeed. But I must admit that when I have to spend 12 hours pressed like a lemon and with mediocre service, I tend to forget about good manners... But I'm not disgusting like in the pictures, that's true. @FloC I avoid it when I can, which is almost never. Last time I tried avoiding it, I ended up in Premium Economy, which is just a fancy name for standard economy like it was 10 years ago. Actual economy is a nightmare. Filthy thieves!
Agree Bob... and when I travel this Grandma has no qualms about telling some of these people what to not do.. in my most ladylike voice..😉
Yep. Welcome to the future, we have horrible humans and lack of respect for you :-P
Bizarre Indeed! I am just wondering how such flights deals with this kind of passengers, i would have kicked them out from top :D
Some are absolutely disgusting, others out of necessity make the best of the situation.
Exactly. Plus, several of these need context before judgements can be made. This is the internet though and people will feel confident they know the whole story from a single snapshot. I'm glad they aren't judges.
