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!

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!

That's impressive. I'm impressed. I'd like to come with my bag and knock her stuff over.

I am not sure why this is entitlement, the plane may have not been full, the passenger may have not had their own bag but took the space of a bag, but I am sure if there was limited room these would be moved? Better them up there and out of the way than left on the floor for someone to trip on, the flight attendant could have been the one to put them up there and out of the way.

Items stored in the overhead compartment may shift during flight.... I hope one of those heels when straight through the hat.

Those compartments are for actual luggage, and space on a plane is incredibly limited. So basically this person just took up someone else's space for a bag with a hat and some shoes.

I'd be tempted to turn them over on their side and put my carryon on top!

never take your shoes off on a plane unless you put your feet on them.. because the floors are not that clean.not to mention the trays and the arm rests and the headrest. bring you own handy wipes and clean your area as best you can. and dispose of them in a plastic bag..

I am guessing she is wearing high heels and while on flight she'a barefooted. That is smart idea!

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

Can we ban these people from flights please? Or at least make them clean up after themselves?

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

I don' t see anything bad about it. It's not like he's bothering someone. And he may be a pyrotechnic. So what?
