This Instagram Gathers Bizarre Images That Prove Passengers From Hell Exist (35 New Pics)
Humans have conquered land, sea, and air; we know how to build high-speed rails that run through mountains, giant cruise ships capable of housing thousands of guests, and long-range airliners that can take us around the world with just a few stops. Heck, we're even developing space tourism.
But while we continue to evolve our transportation, we ourselves — the travelers — remain largely the same, rotten just like our cavemen ancestors. And nothing captures our dirtiness better than the online project Passenger Shaming. Spanning across different social media platforms, it posts content that goes way beyond crying children. We're talking filthy toes, obscene minds, and so. much. more.
Continue scrolling to check it all out, and fire up Bored Panda's earlier publication on Passenger Shaming for more cultural decline.

The curator of the account, Shawn, is a former flight attendant of seven years who has also worked as a police officer and a paramedic. She told Vox Passenger Shaming receives around 300 submissions a week.
"One thing that I find really interesting is that all of the content I used to get was from crew members," she said. "Now 99 percent are from passengers because they don't want to sit next to these people. They're like, 'I'm calling these people out for this bulls**t behavior.'"
I would have fronted her out very loudly. "OMG, YOU HAVE COVID? YOU JUST TEXTED THAT! And then let it happen
I would have silently called a flight attendant and showed her the photo, pointing at her. Otherwise she might just delete the message and call you a liar before any authority might arrive.

If this is true, can't the one who saw this, report it to the crew? And on another note.... I've never flown, let alone during this time, but, shouldn't people be required to do a test before boarding?
Some airports might require vaccination cards, but just because you've been vaccinated, doesn't mean you cannot catch and spread COVID.

Hey, WoS, you know those dumbass "Freedom Truckers" or whatever causing the noise pollution and racism? I think your army should just... drive tanks in opposite flow to the traffic. And then send earth levellers and bulldozers after that.

SO vile. And if they get kicked off the plane they will be on social media whining about their horrible, Nazi-like "oppression" for their "beliefs" about freedom. Cant stand them.

No home training. These people are literally hillbillies that should never have been let out of the house.

Throw the self entitled waste of oxygen folks out of the plane so they splat all over the ground
I was on a plane to Florida so my husband and I could go on a cruise. Lady behind us had a toddler with a BAD cough. Having been a 9/11 First Responder, my immune system ain’t that great. Getting off the plane, she was bragging that her kid handled the flight “so great, considering how high his fever is!” Guess who caught bronchitis which turned into pneumonia? Spent the first 3 days quarantining in my room & missed visiting 3 countries.
Either panic, either "Oi, open the doors, Tony, grab her by the legs"

This is beyond disgusting and selfish. I wish they could be thrown from the plane without a parachute.
(do you want a pancake?) (╯°□°）╯🥞.............(here's your pancake) (╯°□°）╯..............(I put poison in your pancake) ＼( °□° )／
Yeah and the phone and the hairs are in focus at the same time. The screen is even enlarged together with the hand. This is absolutly possible...not. Another BS story from BP (or stolen by BP)
This shouldn’t surprise me but it does. It also is disgusting, despicable and selfish.
Yeah, thanks to people like you my friend spent her European trip stuck in an Hotel room alone for the whole time.
I remember someone at my school a few months back who had symptoms of Covid, but went to school anyway (while not even wearing a mask right) and refused to get tested because if he ended up testing positive, he wouldn't be able to see his girlfriend for two weeks. Prick.
Damn. I had Covid for over a month. It's no joke. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy let alone an entire plane of strangers. I wouldn't expose anyone to that. It's been two weeks and I'm still afraid to go out for fear I'll give it to someone. How can people be so horrible to each other?
This perfectly represents anti vax mentality....theyre in it for themeselves while pretending to be "patriots".
Wonder if they are aware of the numbers of people they’ve possibly killed or put even more financial strain on families that are already struggling, selfish wankers
There are actually airlines and countries that allow positive people to fly home and quarantine there. A friend of mine flew from Athens to Stockholm, after he tested positive, because he is a Swedish citizen and he would quarantine there. When I found out I was shocked.
Nunya, I can only assume you haven't yet had the experience of watching someone sick with COVID struggle for breath, begging the nurses, doctors and God to save them. If you HAD witnessed that struggle for life, I'm SURE you must have enough empathy & compassion within you to realize your own experience of being disturbed over a "lack of privacy" pales in comparison. ..then again, perhaps you truly are completely without an iota of empathy and are totally self-centered and self-obsessed. BTW, were you absent that day in high school English class when they read John Donnie's poem "No Man Is An Island"??? Heed the warning, Nunya, the bell is tolling. Wake up, Honey.

Love only on one side. I’d never accept my man to stand so I can sleep.
Shawn said a lot of the content is foot-related, arguments, people eating things like hard-boiled eggs or tuna, and clipping their nails. Changing dirty diapers is also a common theme.
She attributes the surge in this type of behavior to the fact that people have been cooped up and want to get out. "Maybe they go to the airport and there are delays and things take longer because now they have to go through all these different processes and wear masks. It was a s**tshow before, and now add everything else on top of it."
Nothing to see here: Just a passenger hand feeding her cat in a seat while it watches TV. On a plane.
"I am friends with a lot of flight attendants and pilots, and a lot of them were furloughed for 8 or 12 months and are just going back and dealing with this," Shawn said.
"When I was a flight attendant, 99 percent of the people I ran into were awesome. This is just a really small percentage of people that we highlight, but I always like to make sure people know I’m not some angry, horrible person running around hating everybody."
Sounds like the cooler-toting guy was being utterly shellfish 🦐
Even though there's a constant stream of pictures and videos flowing to Passenger Shaming, Shawn doesn't post everything.
"I never shame anybody based on weight, their appearance, anything of that nature. It's behaviors only, which I think is a reason why it's really successful."
That middle seat sewing sesh, though!
A lot of Passenger Shaming's posts are also based on news stories.
"I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything wrong, per se. Things may have developed in addition, so I’ll go back and edit a post with new information," Shawn said. "But I do try to vet things that people send in."
If Shawn finds out there's something completely off base or incorrect, she just removes it or does a follow-up.
*DING* Can I get some peanuts in 11A, please?
"[One time in 2021], I had somebody send me a picture — you will not see it on my Instagram because Instagram pulled it down, which is so annoying. It was just a guy laying on the floor sleeping in the gate, and he had his hand under his belt."
"Multiple people sent it to me. So I would ask, 'Oh, did you take this picture?' One person would be like, 'Yep,' and another person’s like, 'Yeah this is such and such airport,' and I'm like, 'Actually, no, it's in Atlanta, because the person who sent it to me originally gave me all the information.' He had posted it in a pilot and crew forum."
No need to blur the text on the hat. We all know what it says: Covidiot + red hat + white letters = trumpster
Do you ever just stop and think that a large portion of humanity just needs to be beaten with a bat?
Of course, we can't know for sure if everything that appears on the account is 100% legit but that's not really the point of it.
"What I like to say is, we could 'what if' every single thing that I put on there, but it ruins the whole concept," Shawn said. "I'm not going to intentionally post anything that would be harmful or embarrassing to somebody with a condition or an issue. I don't post if it's clearly a mental health issue."
Another trumpster. It is only logical, an aSs should be covered with panties.
"I just like to use these as teachable moments. It's not just about shaming people, it's saying, 'Hey, there's this lady who's painting their nails on an airplane and it's an enclosed cabin with recirculated air' and people will respond to me via email or DM and say, 'Oh my God, that never crossed my mind to not do that.'"
Passenger Shaming has over 1.4 million followers on Instagram alone, but Shawn wants to take the project even further.
"Ideally I would love to partner with a really large travel-related brand, like the Travel Channel or Expedia, who could help curate and build the brand," she said. "I would really like to use the platform to educate the general public about airlines. Your flight crew absolutely wants you to be happy and have a nice, comfortable, pleasant flight, because they don’t want to be stuck on an airplane with 200 people that are pissed off. There’s no gain in that for them."
if i remember correctly the plane was delayed taking off so she went for a walk on the wing
The woman also added that if you're getting ready to travel (especially now), lead with grace and a lot of patience.
"These are people who maybe haven't been working for the last year. They might be understaffed. Just imagine what these crew members have to deal with all day. We're seeing the videos; these aren’t one-offs. Please be kind and patient, and that includes your fellow passengers. And then my big travel tip for right now would be: Give yourself double the amount of time you think it'll take."
If only people in the pics would hear this...
Note: this post originally had 76 images. It’s been shortened to the top 35 images based on user votes.
In conclusion: a lot of people are gross. And other people are waaaay more tolerant than me.
Call me pretentious. Sometimes, I really think the Richy McMoneybags paying for top dollar seats, just so to avoid trashy mofos like these, is one of the luxuries in life we should all strive for.
I think the world needs to come together to create a new international law called KEEP YOUR F*****G SHOES ON IN THE AIRPLANE YOU SCRUFFY C***S
The only time I got a seat upgrade was when this guy kept putting his feet in my personal space. That was gross enough, but he had some sort of fungus all over his feet, skin was coming off and it smelled like bad cheese. I got to 1st class and he complained he should get the upgrade. He kept coming into 1st class and harassing me, in bare feet. He must have caused more problems after that because when we landed he was escorted off by police.
It seems there would be a law regarding bare feet. Wouldn't it be a potential biohazard?

Road trips look better and better each passing day. The level of entitlement and stupid is higher than the plane can go
90% of these are almost entirely cases of entitlement. There's already no space on planes. Don't invade what little space other people have.
The only approve here is the well behaved cat and the bubble, and as much as I love the lobster I would eat that at home or else won't eat that on that dirty coach seat. The rest are disgusting af! I always have my Lysol/Dettol hand sanitizer wipes all over our seats first before seating down.
This is why I don't fly anymore...if I can't drive there it ain't getting visited. Guess I'll never see Europe
Boats... oh wait they are still covid cruises. Staying home for me.

I would never make it as a flight attendant unless they let me carry a bamboo stick and use it frequently. People are just pigs.
I am someone that does not fly. If this is the state that they allow on planes I'm SO GLAD I do not fly. Like that woman with her pony tail almost in the drink. If scissors were allowed I would have cut it off if she refused to put it out of the way or that disgusting person with their gnarly gross foot would have been stabbed or those folks that left that mess, they would have been MADE to clean it up or that a*****e from the bathroom, same thing. Humans are pigs. I'm not a fan of most humans and I'm sure I'm not alone in this assessment!
People are selfish, thoughtless, disgusting, foul beasts. Why I hate travelling anywhere where there’s other people.
We fly twice a year for the past 20 years, and I swear I never saw any of this craziness. And I hope I never will ...
I thought that I missed flying. NOT ANYMORE! There was a time though, I looked forward to flying.
My best moment. On the way home from a vacation my dad, sister and I sat behind a row of three women, I think early 20s. Right after take-off they put their seats back. Well, two did first. Nobody in my family is under 5 feet 11, with myself being the tallest at 6 foot 1. My dad has knee problems and we repeatedly asked them to put her seat up but she just pretended nit to hear us for the entire 3 hour flight, after claiming the people in front of them put theirs back so they had to as well. I could see leg space. I jammed my knees into the back of the seat in front of me the entire flight while she repeatedly tried to go back. When we landed she stood up to try to give me a hard time. I stood up and towered over her by nearly a whole foot. She looked so scared. "I told you we were all tall people back here, we asked you guys to put your seat back up for a reason. We told your buddy there my dad has knee problems and now she owes him an apology."
What is with people and taking their shoes off everywhere they go???? Keep your shoes on!!!
One of the great things about not having kids is being able to afford business, there are still crunts but the crew are a lot more amenable.
Airports used to be second homes to me way back when (60s, 70s). Now, I haven't been on an airplane for 30-odd years. Seems I dodged some pretty dodgy bullets! Wow.
You know, I'm thinking traveling by plane has really gone down the toilet. I'm glad I'm scared of flying.
If anyone puts their bare feet into my personal space, I WILL NOT let that stand. I will definitely ask them to move them. I understand a good way to help this happen is to bring a very small spray bottle and fill it with water on the plane. Then "fake sneeze" while spraying said offending body part. Even the most gross people probably don't want to imagine mucous being sneezed onto their feet. (Yeah, less effective when you're wearing a mask, but it could still work.)
My spouse and I do not fly for any reason (we simply hate it) -- which is why I enjoyed this article immensely! 🤣😭💀
I would throw most of these people off the plane if I had to fly with them. No way in hell am I flying with all those bare feet.
Unless the feet are visibly dirty or in somebody else's space, I really don't get why people have a problem with bare feet existing in public places. They're no worse than hands. Do people not wash their feet? Were they traumatized as children by unswept floors and dirt-slippers? That's the only thing I can think of. As long as you wash your feet, you're not going to have issues when you see feet. If you have issues, you're giving yourself away as someone who doesn't wash very well. Cue the downvotes.
Feet, whether clean, dirty, or with or without shoes, do not belong in someone else's "bubble" of space. They should be on or near the floor in front of them.
