30 Passengers From Hell You Will Be Glad Didn’t Sit Next To You
872Kviews
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!

Sometimes Self-Awareness Is Hard
I’m Only Posting This Photo So No One Else Sends It To Me

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!

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
Don’t Do This!
Get a tissue and pull up on the toes as had as you can they will stop.
I'm going to take with me a small bottle of alcohol to cool their feet.
Thank goodness it is on an empty seat. If poked on my seat , I would prick with a safety pin or brooch pin .
plonk hard thing on top, sit. enjoy the bad opera from the row behind, and offer a grinny "sorry". Solved.
I’d stick my gum on their foot. I’m vicious when it comes to personal space
I have this strange feeling like something HOT might spill here.... very soon 😑 .... weird, huh. 🤷🏼♀️
I'd put my ass down on their feet and not move! Disgusting. What is wrong with people!

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 shit 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
The asinine behavior of humans never ceases to amaze!
Yeah, I`m glad I`m a dog. :)
Good boy!
Yes , me too... unfortunately this is how society has come.. sad
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.
Half of these problems would've been solved by saying "excuse me, you are occupying my space/ your hair is in my screen/ your ugly-ass, disgusting feet are in my seat".
not necessarily. The people are already rude enough to do, and these days, people are being taught to avoid confrontation. "Using your words" is great, until the other side doesn't really give a damn.
Wow, they need to put up some signs: passengers must remain fully clothed.
WTH is wrong with people? A normal person wouldn't do any of these things! Piss on the seat? Naked? Jacking off? I think this calls for a fly by, opening the door and pushing them out! Jeez!!
if you gain nothing else... NEVER use the tray tables!
I really hope that instead of just passive-aggressively posting pictures, most of these people said something to those passengers.
People who stick their filthy, smelly bare feet all over other people's spaces should be put on a permanent no-fly list.
This is why flying can suck
I get people don't have respect for others and clearly they also don't have it for themselves either.
I haven't had any flights with people who behave like this, thank goodness, but it all would have been absolutely unimaginable 20 years ago.
Every generation thinks "People these days....." as if people haven't been the same since the dawn of time. FFS, 20 years ago was 1999. The world is almost exactly the same as it was in 1999.
Ummm, I don`t think I`m looking foward to my overseas holiday that much anymore...
The hair and the feet I can say it to them remove, but the parents need to charge them if you are destroy public property. Don't care what circumstance you should always teach your kids to respect other people stuff, animals and the earth. Only poor upbringing will let the kids destroyed others and still take it for granted. If you are fly to another country better save up a little bit more to business class, save you alot of trouble, or states to states we rather drive.
ETA: Business class or not I always have my Dettol hand sanitizer wipes all over our seats first before seating down.
Are they all americans? I've never seen this in Europe.
Here you are boys and girls! These are the people who will be on the front lines of a zombie apocalypse!!! There seem to be enough of them to fill up each and every zombie so that all of us smart ones have a chance to get away, unless you plan to play whack-a-mole in the graveyard!
Oh look, some more reasons for why I don't want to get on a plane.
Some people just feel being nasty is cool.
People are pigs
Most of this can be avoided if people would just act like they were in a public place , because that is what it is . You got to any store you have wear shirts and shoes . If you have long hair keep it in our own area and not over someone else seat because it is a hygiene issue .
Really think about it. Airlines have become buses that fly. The other gross thing is the ratty pillows teens seem to have to carry with them.
I saw a Mad Magazine comic to that effect.....from 1983.
Flying is like riding the bus now, but more trouble. I'll stick to buses & trains.
yikes !
In the past you used to wear a jacket and a tie. What's wrong today? Why aren't these people arrested and stuck into a filthy prison for 30 days and given a 5k $ fine ? I'm sure somebody can do something.
If there's one thing that ruins a flight it's that inevitably there's a kid behind me kicking my seat and/or a kid nearby screaming. Why don't they reserve a couple rows in the back for families with children?!
If there's one thing I absolutely hate about flying, it's that inevitably there's a kid behind me kicking my seat, and other kids nearby crying (screaming.) They should have the last several rows just for families with kids.
And people asked me why I stopped flying 20 years ago...
So looking forward to the flight I'm taking next week.
Gross!!! 🤢
Oh wow! I guess using barf bags to throw up in when you have motion sickness doesn't fall in the wicked passenger category. Maybe If I'd thrown up on my neighbor's lap it would have been a different story.
I have not flown in over 20 years because of the crazies and the crappy airline service. This just shows nothing has changed.
Every day I see more people who do not care about people, be they men or women, children or the elderly... what is happening with humans who do not think in terms of others?
This whole thing is why I'm glad I never have flown, never will fly, never want to fly. Disgusting!
I hate air travel- but I hate the people encountered during air travel even more.
Story time! I’m going through security at the airport and notice a bad smell. I think it’s a baby that needs it’s diaper changed or something. But there weren’t really any babies in the line were my family was. My mom pointed out the direction it was coming from... I didn’t want to offend anyone but it was this middle aged lady, she had animal hair (probably dog or cat hair) all over her jacket, her hair was a mess (she was balding on top), and worst of all when we were supposed to take our shoes off, the corn chip smell coming from this woman’s feet... was unreal. I clenched my teeth and said in my head “please don’t let me sit next to her, please don’t let me sit next to her” I don’t know if she had adult diapers or something, but she obviously peed herself
I like how people show so much tolerance
I´m glad to carry a tube of superglue for a hairy lady...!

Air Marshalls need to make more of a presence or Flight attendants need to have more power to do things about these people. Like identify who they are and have consequences ready at the gate, especially for parents and their crotch nuggets.
Yikes...
Whoa, what happened to #50? Or was the "Pap Smear Deal" a 2 for 1? Doesn't matter - this could be subtitled "Or, 50 good reasons to drive instead."
Since this never happened to me an honest question: If something like the feet/hair thing happened, could I call a steward/stewardess to put an end to it? There have to be rules, at least I hope so. Same for wearing a shirt... Really curious!
People have become so disgusting, shameless really!
The women with plastic bags may be suffering from a panic attack. I'm claustrophobic and I can relate to that. Breathing from a bag leads you to a dizzy calm. Of course looks like an overkill...
fff
Not in Canada for sure, eh!
They all equally made me mad.

still stuck on lady with no pantys and airing out her lady parts.
Two times in my life (so far) and my seat was next to some guy masturbating. What do you do? Where do you look? Should you applaud when he finishes? What's worse is one guy stared at me while he was doing it. I was staring at the attendant silently willing her to intervene.
Couple of questions, where the hell are the flight attendants and why aren’t they doing their job?! Also, you beat believe I would be making those passengers move their shit, hair, feet, etc. If it was in my space!! No mercy
Yeah you know how those Germans are known for being inefficient and lazy, eh?

The worst behaviour on flight by far is taking secret photos of people and posting them on the Internet because you’re so passive aggressive you can’t just speak to a person yourself.
Boohoo. Go catch some snowflakes. You are probably one of those ‘dirty feet on seats’ persons :D

I don't appreciate the use of profanity in the title of a post. There are young children on this site. Take this post down and ban this member
Children such as yourself?
Yes please
