A woman has been brutally slammed on social media after she filmed herself assembling a meal midway through a flight – which included 'stinky' boiled eggs.
To get her through the 10-hour journey from Los Angeles to Paris, Jess Marra came prepared with several containers filled with various ingredients so she could create a healthy dinner for herself to enjoy while flying.
After the 33-year-old shared footage of herself prepping the meal on the plane, she was stunned to see the clip go viral on Instagram, garnering 1.5 million views and thousands of comments filled with backlash.
'What started as a fun travel moment turned into the international egg scandal of the year,' Jess, who works in digital marketing, told What's The Jam recently.
The video showed her unpacking the various ingredients and assembling a salad – but viewers criticized her for doing so on a busy flight and for including boiled eggs, which can have a pretty poignant smell.
One person commented: 'New fear unlocked: I get on a plane and the person next to me starts making an egg salad.'
'Just because you can eat an egg on a flight doesn't mean you should,' another user agreed.
Someone else added: 'Between the egg, the elbow jabbing into your neighbor, the salad shaking and the "influencing" I am 100 percent annoyed and I'm not on the plane. Just be a normal person and stop trying to gain attention.'
'No one likes you on this flight... no one,' wrote one viewer.
Another user added: 'Sorry honey, but no. Eggs - no. Multiple Tupperware containers no.
'Assembling a salad on the plane no. It's not your kitchen, it's a tiny shared public space in which we all just try to survive.'
'Please take a kind hint from the majority of comments here and leave those boiled eggs at home next time…,' another person agreed.
Someone else commented: 'Nothing wrong with [bringing your own] food but I'd be really cross if the person next to me started bringing out all of this stuff including smelly eggs and peeling avocados.
'What's wrong with a sandwich or something that doesn't require all the mixing and unpacking of ingredients? Inconsiderate.'
Despite the backlash, Jess insisted that her meal didn't smell, saying she doesn't overcook the boiled eggs deliberately to avoid any odor.
The rest of the meal was less offensive, consisting of salad, avocado, berries. and salad dressing – items she grabbed from her fridge for the 'last minute' flight to avoid spending on costly airport or airplane food that she doesn't enjoy.
The LA-native said: 'Despite what the internet thinks, I was discreet in my window seat and kept everything low-key.
'When the flight attendant came around for meal service I politely declined and once everyone around me was settled eating, I got to work.
'No one on the flight seemed to notice or care.
'But once I posted the video on Instagram, all hell broke loose.
'The comments were brutal.
'People were yelling at me for being selfish, inconsiderate, endangering the lives of passengers, and just generally being the worst human ever.
'I was kind of in shock. Was it a little weird I assembled a salad at my seat? Sure.
'Is it the end of the world that I ate an egg on a plane? Certainly not!
'Hard boiled eggs are sold in every airport convenience store and even at Starbucks for people to eat during flights.
'Plane food has a strong odor and, many times, eggs are included in the meal service as well.
'It's not like I unwrapped a tuna melt or started microwaving salmon mid-flight! The internet really ran with it, but in reality, I'm just a hungry girl trying to eat my dinner.'
