This Plane Passenger Used His Toes On The Inflight TV And People Have Thoughts

"This is why my wife wipes everything down at her seat. Including the screen!"

Travelling on planes can make us all behave oddly: believing a family-size bar of Toblerone constitutes a meal, or going to the toilet just to “stretch our legs”. But one passenger perhaps took things a little too far.

Instead of using their hands (or even the remote) on the inflight television, the anonymous flyer used their bare feet to swipe through the film options.

Another passenger captured the footage and sent it to their friend, Alafair Burke, who then posted it on Twitter.

Burke said her friend saw the person walking off the plane carrying his own bag, appearing to confirm he wasn’t resorting to his feet because he couldn’t use his arms: “He just likes to watch TV with his bare feet.”

It’s fair to say that some people on Twitter were less than impressed.

Though others had to acknowledge the dexterity.

Someone had another point to make.

And many used it as an opportunity to share their in-flight hygiene routines – inspired by model Naomi Campbell’s famously vigilant regime.
