Viral video shows air passenger using feet to choose in-flight movie

If there’s any universal rule that needs to be applied to airplanes, it should be that barefoot should be banned.

Unfortunately, there are far too many passengers who love having their feet out in the open — including one individual who used his toes to choose an in-flight movie.

My friend who doesn’t have twitter sent this from her flight. It belongs on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/qG6d54V5Dd

The photographer confirms that she saw him walk on and off the plane, carrying his own bag. He just likes to watch TV with his bare feet.

The video was shared on Twitter earlier this week by Alafair Burke.

“My friend who doesn’t have Twitter sent this from her flight. It belongs on Twitter,” she wrote.

Many people had a strong reaction to the barefoot bandit and shared their opinions about feet in their Twitter replies.

Disinfectant wipes will be the new item to add to my plane bag contents. Sheesh. 🤢

This is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen on twitter.

Gross, get yo feet off the wall. If they were next to me I’d throw a fit. Nobody wants to be looking at stanky feet!

Can we as a society invest in a planet-sized Clorox wipe please?

And people wonder why I wipe down my airplane seat area thoroughly with antibacterial wipes!🙄

This flight could have really used a passenger like five-year-old Rodney Small, who spoke his mind about feet while flying from Orlando to Houston two months ago.

Sometimes, you just need to tell it like it is.
