We've all been on a flight with somebody that's just disgusting, but now with the
power of social media, passengers can finally get their sweet revenge. Welcome
back to what's trending I'm Martine Beerman make sure to subscribe for more
stories about people who get freaky in the sky, stinky feet, disgusting eating
habits and people that are just downright dirty. Before social media all
you could do is really suck it up and bear it, but now there's a viral trend
that's allowing you to get rid of all of your angst and anger. It's literally
called passenger shaming, and it's taken the internet by storm. The trend was
birthed years ago but it's recently taken Instagram by storm with the
hashtag passenger shaming. And @passengershaming an account that was
dubbed one of Rolling Stones 100 best Instagram accounts. It works like this:
you're on a flight somebody does something disgusting which pretty much
happens on every single flight, then you take a picture of that post it, tag
passenger shaming and boom there it is, passenger, shame. I have mixed feelings
about this because I'm not all about that shaming life however as we get
through this you will see that there's sometimes good reason for it. Like this
post leaving a diaper in a drinking glass is probably something this
passenger wouldn't do at home. Hello? It's three steps to the bathroom also did you
change your baby like in front of other pa- although I will say, do airlines have
really great spaces for parents to go and change diapers? If they don't, then
you know I mean you're really sticking it to the airline at that point which
unfortunately then rolls over to the passengers but I feel for parents if
that is the case. Unshamed. Oh and this one: Anyone missing any false teeth? That
has to be a mighty confusing one to walk away from a situation be like "where did
I water I live my tooth?" I don't know that has to be hard like at some point I
don't know, next meal maybe you realize? You just not a smiler? I don't-- and how
about this one former flight attendant Shawn Kathleen says passengers often
leave chewed gum in inappropriate places. Like the armrest, seriously? as if it
isn't like bad enough that you get on to a flight and somebody else has just been
sitting there so the seat is warm and then you have
the like back area over here that's really gross because you know somebody
else had their face up against it now we have to deal with potentially gum
situations everywhere? Yuck. It's like really rough. And take a look at this
pigsty left by God knows who. Ugh some people are literally trash. If you
wouldn't do it in your own home, don't do it somewhere else
and how about this guy, just letting it all hang out so if airlines always been
this horrible? Apparently not. And some are saying it's because airline travels
not really a luxury anymore so people are not really treating it with respect.
And seriously, who can blame them? Literally everything today is an add-on
I'm pretty sure we're gonna be paying for toilet paper squares really soon.
Today you have to pay if you want to eat on a flight, so you end up with a lotta
irate and potentially grumpy people. You want clean aircrafts when you get off?
Just feed people. But is this an excuse to behave badly? Airlines do not think so
and they're biting back. In 2017, Hawaiian Airlines find a particularly bad
passenger $100,000 for disrupting a flight from Hawaii to New York City. But
passenger shaming isn't all bad. Like this post featuring four flight
attendants who delivered a baby mid-flight hashtag not shaming. And this
little guy who got stuck between the seats mid nap hashtag not shaming
hashtag so freaking cute. Okay, again not into any type of shaming in general, I
can go for the pictures that maybe don't have a person's face from them and this
account is really just providing other passengers an opportunity to vent about
their experiences and that I can get behind.
Personally, I've had my fair share of in-flight Horrors. There was the time
that this one passenger thought in a flight was a great time for her to start
painting her nails, or there was a time that a flight attendant spilled whole
soda in my lap and I did not have a change of clothing and it was a long
flight. But this stuff's actually pretty tame, I would take all of this stuff a
hundred times over versus sitting next to that man who was wearing no clothing.
