Disgusting moment passenger picks dirt from underneath his partner's TOENAILS on flight from Tenerife
Some of the generally accepted rules of plane etiquette include not taking off your shoes and not invading other passengers space. But one horrified easyJet passenger caught a couple breaking both rules after she saw a man 'picking dirt from under his partner's toenails' during a flight. Erin Butcher was flying home from a seven-day family holiday in Tenerife but was shocked to notice a woman's bare feet propped up on a tray table. The 27-year-old was then left 'disgusted' after she noticed a man appearing to pick at her French pedicure toenails before 'flicking bits of dirt' to the floor and over the seats. Ms Butcher claims the couple did this for 20 minutes, while other passengers laughed nervously in confusion. The fashion merchandiser shared footage of the stomach-churning moment with the caption 'Nothing beats an easyJet flight. Hope no one ate off this tray table on the next flight'. The clip was shared on TikTok on Thursday and has since gone viral, racking up more than 336,200 views. Sickened, Ms Butcher said the sight was 'unhygienic' and made for a 'depressing' end to her holiday in August 2024. Ms Butcher, from Southwark, south east London, said: 'I felt so disgusted and I couldn't believe it. 'The partner was sprawled across the seats with her feet on the tray table, which was shocking enough. 'Her partner then started picking at her toenails and flicking little bits [of dirt] everywhere. It was disgusting. 'I was absolutely horrified. I was with my family and none of us could actually believe what was happening. 'Even to do that in the privacy of your own home is questionable but to put them on a tray table where people are eating off all day. 'I was relieved I wasn't sitting next to them. I had the perfect view from my aisle seat which is horrifying. I couldn't really take my eyes off even though I wanted to. 'Her feet were on that table the majority of the four-and-a-half-hour flight. She was really making herself at home. It's so unhygienic. 'Other passengers around us had noticed as well. Everyone was laughing and it was quite unbelievable. 'As if things aren't depressing enough when your week in the sun has just ended and you're faced with toe picking the whole way home.' Many users took to the comments to express their disgust. One user wrote: 'Totally gross,; while another commented: 'That's disgusting anywhere.' A third user wrote: 'Save it for later' and a fourth user wrote: 'Why on earth?' EasyJet has been approached for a comment.

Plane passenger sticks her smelly feet through seat gap in front
It's not a hard ask. If you're on a plane — or anywhere to be frank — keep your feet to yourself. A plane passenger has been filmed horrifying fellow travellers by sticking her feet through the seat gap in front of her, and onto the passenger in front. Footage shows the woman, wearing skin-toned stockings, sleeping mid-takeoff with her feet positioned behind the armrest of the female passenger seated by the window in front. The filmer, who took the vision on June 29, said a strong odour was lingering nearby which is what prompted her to look back and discover the woman's feet intruding her space. The flight was from Qingdao to Beijing with Air China. 'I was sleeping and was woken up by the smell. I couldn't call a flight attendant immediately because it was during departure, but I pressed the call button mid-flight,' she said. 'I told them what was happening, and they gave her a pair of slippers. However, for the remaining 30 minutes of the flight, she kept pushing my chair with her knees. It was a very uncomfortable flight.' It's not the first time a passenger has stripped off their shoes on a flight, without giving any consideration to others in the cabin. Last year, a pair of newlyweds were recently gobsmacked by a fellow passenger's smelly feet while enjoying their 10-hour 'premium' flight to the Maldives. Hannah Charlotte Mol, from the UK, shared a clip of her airport journey, which has attracted more than 269,000 views since it was uploaded to TikTok this week. The couple arrived early to check in, itching to board their long-awaited flight to celebrate tying the knot. Hannah oohhed and aahhed over the airline's amenities, including extensive leg room, orange juice and a free pillow, blanket and vanity case. But the newlyweds were appalled when they caught a whiff of a woman's feet across the aisle. Much to their dismay, she had taken her shoes off for ultimate relaxation. 'This lady over here has just taken her shoes off. We've not even taken off yet,' Hannah said in the clip. 'And her feet are so smelly. It smells so bad. We've got 10 hours.' Throughout the video, the honeymooners show off the aeroplane goodies and luxe meals they received sitting in premium economy. 'These are our seats. We've got 'premium economy,' which we were so excited about. There's so much leg room!' Hannah gushed. Some commenters, however, sniffed at their choice of seating, asking why they didn't splurge on first class for their once-in-a-lifetime trip. 'Congratulations to you both, may you both have a happy life together and make many memories that you can treasure for a lifetime,' someone applauded. 'Oh man. Smelly feet is a no-no,' said another sympathetic user, stating the obvious.
