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!

the biggest issue here is not that her feet needs to be cleaned with bleach... the problem is that she has the balls to put that s**t up on someone's seat instead of keeping it to herself. total lack of consideration to others.

This is why I always have Clorox wipes with me on the plane. I don't care if I look like I have a cleaning fetish. People are gross.

Another outrageous offense where the first instinct is to take a pic. I would have lost my mind on that disgusting person.

Are you kidding me? I wouldn't be able to contain myself. I'd take a pic, and show the Neanderthal telling him to keep his disgusting feet out of my personal space.

I would have to say something! I am British & we do not cope well with confrontation, so I would be saying it to the Steward/Stewardess, but still...

Omg 😮 I will have tell the b***h to take of the filthy feet . Once I have a similar situation . I start to smell a “sweaty feet” and I saw the guy behind me without shoes ( but with socks) then I told him to put the f..g shoes on because his feet were smelly. Just after I shouted at him my husband told me that the “smelly feet” scent was coming from his vinegar and onion Pringle’s box 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

This one is very common! Almost in every flight, there's an idiot who think they should try this, some even with shoes on.

This person ruins it for everyone else who wants to take off their shoes to get comfy during the flight.

I hope this person didn't just tolerate that. I'd have no problem turning around and asking the to move their dirty, stinking feet. Maybe give them a couple bucks and tell them to go buy some soap to wash those feet off. They look like they been dirty for some time now.

This should be number 1. No one in he** would I stand for that c**p. And I'd make sure everyone knew about it until something was done about it. Preferably that her dirty a*s was thrown off the plane!

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.

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.

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!

At least they had the decency to use a bottle and not the next person's seat (and belongings).

Start jamming food in there. A dab of butter. Some bread. A few potato chips. Some cheesecake. Whatever you've got. Could be interesting.

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
