A woman has shared her disgust after seeing how a plane passenger made themselves at home on their public flight – and now she vows to always travel with wet wipes and hand sanitiser
A woman has been left feeling sick to her stomach after seeing how a plane passenger made themselves comfortable mid-flight. She explained how she was jetting off on holiday with her partner when she caught someone making themselves at home on the public aircraft.
When looking to her right, she saw the passenger using the fold-down tray table as a foot rest, with their body was curled up into the seat. Taking to Reddit to slam this behaviour, she said: ” People should be put on the do not fly list for this. My spouse thinks I’m silly for wiping down the tray tables as soon as I sit. Seriously, what the f*** is with people thinking everywhere in public is their living room? This was not the only annoying thing she did, but it was certainly the worst.”
Equally as disgusted, one user said: “And people look at me weird when I pull out wipes before I sit down on a plane.
“People are disgusting. This is probably the mildest thing I’ve seen over my many flights.
“Anticipate on a plane that approximately 25 per cent of people do not wash their hands at all, and many don’t wash them thoroughly enough.
“I never touch an inflight entertainment screen before wiping it down and I bring sanitiser with me to every bathroom trip.”

On any aircraft, passengers are encouraged to speak to a flight attendant if another traveller’s behaviour is causing them concern rather than trying to resolve it themselves.
Another user added: “Common sense and common decency is a thing of the past.
“So many people have become self-absorbed and care little about those around them.
“Last time at an airport, I had people around my playing music on their speakers and others talking on the phone with the speaker all for everyone to hear.
“People talking really loud and cussing every other word while kids are right by them. Airports are becoming a zoo.”
A third user said: “Every time I encounter folks like this they are short haul flights. They can’t be a little uncomfortable for two to three hours. It blows my mind.”
One more user added: “Please tell me a flight attendant noticed and asked them to put their feet down. It’s not only gross, but dangerous.
“If sudden severe turbulence happened, you could smack your feet into the back of the chair and then the tray, potentially snapping the tray off and getting impaled on its metal extenders.”
