Flight attendant uncovers one 'disgusting' thing passengers skip before boarding

Flight attendant uncovers one 'disgusting' thing passengers skip before boarding

A veteran flight attendant has taken to TikTok to voice her biggest pet peeves, including one thing she thinks travellers should "go to prison" for
A flight attendant is calling out passengers who break one etiquette rule. Taking to social media to air her frustration, she says passengers should not fly at all if they commit this one faux pas.
On her TikTok account, cabin crew member Cher (@cherdallas), says she thinks travellers should 'go to prison' for not showering before getting on a plane. According to Cher, who is a six-year flight attendant, these are the worst kind of travellers.

'There is zero reason that I should be smelling a stranger's body odour Wash yourself. You are going to be shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Show up clean or don't come at all.'

In the comments, one user agreed, saying: 'A shower plus clean clothes together will stop the stench. If it's transatlantic with a layover, change into a different clean shirt and use a wet paper towel on your torso in the bathroom stall.'
However some users were quick to point out that travel issues like cancelled flights and running through the airport might be the reason some show up less than fresh.
One user wrote: 'The body odor thing is absolute. However if they are on this flight [because] another was cancelled or something and they had to sleep at the airport maybe hand out body wipes'.
Another chimed in: 'Ever had to run 20 minutes to a connecting flight with luggage in tow? You'll sweat, my dear, and there may be an odour.' To this Cher says there is an easy fix.

'Wear deodorant ?? It's pretty simple, it works in a preventative way,' she wrote in response.
But body odour isn't the only thing that Cher thinks should be '100 percent against the law' on planes. She lists a number of pet peeves that passengers are guilty of, including one that's sure to annoy most passengers: playing videos or music out loud from their device.
According to Cher: 'It is no one else's problem except yours that you didn't charge you AirPods or you didn't bring headphones.

'Why are you making it everyone else's problem around you?' She continues: 'I don't care if your kid is gonna cry that they can't listen to cocomelon on full blast. That is less annoying than hearing it off of their iPad.'
Her other gripe is actually aimed at flight attendants, not passengers. She calls out her fellow colleagues for making 'a bunch of unnecessary announcements'.
She said while she understands that the profession draws in extroverted people who like meeting new people, talking can be done in-person instead of over the speaker system.
That said, she acknowledges that not all announcements are unnecessary. 'There are basic ones that we are required to make. I simply don't agree with putting on a whole production unless you are on super fun afternoon flight.'

Tourists warned of disturbing 'Porta-Potty' party trend in glamorous destination

Tourists warned of disturbing 'Porta-Potty' party trend in glamorous destination Women are being warned of accepting 'gifts' from strangers and being lured into a world of sexual degradation and physical harm which could even seen them prosecuted Dubai (Image: Getty ) Dubai, known for its towering skyscrapers and luxury lifestyle, is facing scrutiny over the disturbing trend of so-called "Porta-Potty" parties. These events, reportedly hosted by affluent individuals, lure young models and influencers with promises of cash, designer presents, and stays in hotels. ‌ Yet, beneath the glamour lies a dark reality of sexual degradation, physical harm, and significant legal jeopardy. Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, has issued a stark warning about the potential legal consequences for women attending these gatherings. ‌ Despite recent legal changes, participants could still be prosecuted for adultery or indecency, particularly if married men are involved. "Sex outside marriage has been legalised in Dubai, but organisers have exploited this. Women think they're attending a private party - instead, they're thrown into horrific, dangerous situations with real legal risk," stated Ms Stirling. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here The issue gained renewed attention after an influencer on TikTok recounted receiving lavish gifts from a man she met at the gym, sparking debate over the hidden dangers of such encounters, reports the Mirror. Article continues below Jade, known as @outplayedbyjade online and originally from France, shared her Dubai adventure on social media. She recounted an experience of leaving the gym when staff presented her with a gift from a man she had met on the treadmill. "I didn't think much of it," Jade said in her video, describing how she was handed flowers and chocolates after chatting with the man. Feeling touched, she messaged the number left with the present to express thanks and subsequently received a call from Van Cleef and Arpels, the luxury jewellery brand's boutique. ‌ "I'm a very curious girl, so I make my way over to the shop," she said, detailing the moment when a shop assistant revealed a stunning bracelet and necklace sent to her. The jewellery and other tokens amounted to a value of approximately £3,000. While Jade was thrilled with the extravagant presents, her followers cautioned her that this gentleman might be a "professional" and advised her to "be careful" in light of rumours about women being lured to "Porta-Parties" in Dubai. ‌ In one alleged incident, Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, was apparently left for dead after attending such a party. Maria disappeared soon after telling her mother about an overnight invitation from two men purporting to be modelling agents, and failing to catch her scheduled flight to Thailand. Ten days on, Maria was discovered abandoned by the roadside in Dubai on March 19, suffering from a shattered spine, broken limbs, and severe internal injuries. Following multiple surgeries, Maria's family, who are now at her bedside, are seeking explanations for the incident as she continues to recover. Dubai Police confirmed that Maria was under medical care but have stated she "entered a restricted construction site alone and fell from a height", a claim met with scepticism amid unsettling rumours about her disappearance. ‌ Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who is closely monitoring the case, starkly claimed: "Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party. The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging for over a year." Gordon, among others, suggested that Maria might have been coerced into participating in a degrading sexual act, a notorious aspect of the so-called "Porta-Potty" events, which are synonymous with humiliation and mistreatment. These events are said to involve women being compensated handsomely to engage in vile acts that include exposure to bodily fluids, degradation, and suffering. ‌ While viral videos have shed some light on this obscure practice, the reality of such abuse remains largely obscured by Dubai's polished image and stringent censorship regulations. Amidst the emergence of "Porta-Potty" narratives, specialists have issued warnings about potential dangers to be mindful of when visiting Dubai. They have warned people to be cautious of unverified agents who promise substantial sums for ambiguous modelling jobs; to refrain from agreeing to solo travel to private gatherings or accepting all-expenses-paid excursions without a proper background check on the organisers; ensuring you keep in regular contact with loved ones, always sharing your whereabouts with them; steering clear of entering private quarters of hotels, villas, or yachts with individuals you do not know well, particularly at late hours, and; be aware of the stringent laws in Dubai: foreign females may face charges like public indecency or adultery, even when actions result from coercion. Article continues below The distraught mother of Maria relayed to Ukrainian reporters: "She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She's had three operations. She can't speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter claims he never saw her. We're terrified of what really happened."

I've named my kids Rumble Honey, Whimsy Lou & Slim Easy – number four is on its way & people aren't convinced by my pick

NAME GAME I've named my kids Rumble Honey, Whimsy Lou & Slim Easy – number four is on its way & people aren't convinced by my pick Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RUMBLE Honey, Whimsy Lou and Slim Easy - these may sound like stage names for artists or perhaps some bizarre food dishes. But these are, in fact, unusual monikers one mum-of-three, Nara Smith, has given to her tots. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Earlier this summer, the 23-year-old ''trad wife'' announced she and her partner were pregnant with the couple's fourth kid 2 Naturally, that also means starting to come up with a list of potential names for the little one Credit: TIKTOK/@naraazizasmith The South African-German model, 23, went viral last year when when she announced the birth of her third tot - Whimsy Lou Smith - whom she shares with hubby Lucky Blue. At the time, the young influencer - who's also shared how to make cereal from scratch - came under fire over the ''unhinged'' monikers. Earlier this summer, the 23-year-old ''trad wife'' announced she and her partner were pregnant with the couple's fourth kid. Naturally, that also means starting to come up with a list of potential names for the little one. But unfortunately for the duo - who've been slammed for setting ''unrealistic'' expectations for parents - it looks like they'll have to keep thinking. Nara, who's currently six months pregnant, took to TikTok to share the names she ''loves'', including Moonbeam Ice Cream which she thought was ''so beautiful''. Starting off with potential picks if it turned out to be a boy, the influencer listed Moss, Goody, Sundae, Champ and Silk. ''I also really like the name Dare for a boy,'' she said in the now-viral video, which has been viewed more than 10million times in less than 24 hours. Meanwhile, if it's a girl joining their brood, Nara was quite fond of the names Twinkle, Velvet, Button, Willow and Mirror. ''Feels like a more classic name,'' Nara reckoned, adding she also loved the name Berry. Pregnant Rihanna's third baby's gender revealed as partner A$AP Rocky slips and leaks news on Smurfs red carpet ''All of these can go either as a first or a second name - but it's getting harder to name children for me.'' Despite being obsessed with the monikers, Nara added that she wouldn't be using these picks for their next child - which means fans will have to keep waiting for an update. Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle? YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be? Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up. When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it. But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne. Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it. When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things - like Tracey and Stacey - which can be pretty annoying. Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year - there seems to be a few of us around my age - it's still a much rarer name than most of my friends have. On the whole I don't mind it, at least it's not rude or crazily spelt. And it means I can get away with 'doing a Cheryl' and just referring to myself as Josie. I'm getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I'm changing my surname, as it's not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I'm not that attached to Griffiths as I'd always just say 'hi it's Josie' when ringing a mate up. I think it's nice to be unique and I'll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids. It's the rude names you've got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I'll definitely be avoiding those. 'You gave your kids usernames' Sadly for the couple, the names weren't a major hit amongst social media users, a whopping 19k of whom flooded to comments to slam the two. One wondered: ''are you naming an elf on the shelf or a child?'' Another joked: '''My boy slim easy' like he's a rapper.'' ''you gave your kids usernames,'' someone else thought. ''At this point, why don't you call a strawberry shortcake?'' a fourth jokingly advised. ''Do you realize they will be adults some day,'' a concerned viewer reminded.

However, crowd-pleaser Post's goodwill took an unfortunate turn and as he put his foot on a flimsy block it fell away, causing him to tumble onto the floor. The incident happened as Post - real name Austin Richard Post - sang his and Blake Shelton's hit Pour Me A Drink. The fan filming the moment uploaded the footage online and wrote, "I didn't mean to almost break your back." Fortunately, Post wasn't injured and continued with the show, playing five more songs. Since the gig, Post's personal life has made headlines. Last night TMZ reported that the singer has split from girlfriend Christy Lee, 20. The outlet claims the pair went their separate ways about a month ago, having only gone public at the start of the year following his split from ex-fiancée Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park. Post kept his relationship with Jamie private, aside from publicly acknowledging their engagement and the birth of their daughter in 2022. They are currently locked in a custody battle. Post Malone makes rare comments about daughter, 3, at New York concert amid custody battle with baby mama Jamie Park Christy is a student at Parsons School of Design in New York, studying strategic design and management. She's also an aspiring influencer, often posting trend-driven videos on TikTok — from what's in my bag to fashion hauls. She went to high school in Newport Beach, California, before moving to the East Coast. Christy worked as a sales associate, hostess and social media intern at Bella Venice while living in California. Following her relocation to New York, she first found employment as a social media manager, before becoming an assistant stylist at Kristina Askerova Studio. 4 Post has reportedly split from girlfriend Christy Lee Credit: Splash
