A pregnant woman was stunned when the passenger behind her placed her ‘nasty’ bare feet on her armrest – but was applauded for standing up for herself and getting her to move
When travelling on public transport, you’re expected to follow a set of unwritten rules to prevent discomforting those around you. But it seems not everybody got this memo.
One fed-up woman has been praised for standing up to an entitled passenger who rested her bare feet against her armrest during a five-hour flight. Sharing a photo on Reddit, the pregnant passenger said: “Barely boarded into a five hours flight and this lady snuck her bare feet [on to my armrest] to push my arm off it, why are people so nasty.”
Social media users were suitably outraged by the photo with more than 5,800 of them rushing to shared their disgust and give ideas on how to deal with it. One person wrote: “I’m a laid back person but that’s an immediate stand up, turn around, ‘put those things away right now’ from me.”
Another user suggested: “Lift the arm rest, pretend like you didn’t even notice. Bonus points if her toes get pinched in the process,” while a third Redditor joked: “Pretend to sneeze, while you do it sprinkle some water on her feet, or start sucking them.”
