The incident came to light on a Reddit thread initiated by user seefooddiet2200, who openly shared their ordeal during the unfortunate flight.
A photograph accompanying the post depicted the oblivious passenger with her feet propped up at a 90-degree angle, adorned with white anklet socks, hanging prominently.
As per the account provided by the poster, the young woman’s feet were positioned right beneath the air vent, causing the odor to permeate throughout the plane.
Numerous individuals joined the thread to voice their opinions, with some expressing their curiosity about the situation.
“I would be the one to tell her that her feet smell and to put them away for the sake of everyone,” remarked one person.
“At least they’re wearing socks,” another commented.
One person defended the foot’s unconventional placement, stating, “Are you afraid of socks or something? Can’t believe society has gotten to the point that it’s unacceptable to take off your shoes. Makes me sigh and laugh all at once.”
To this, another respondent chimed in, asserting, “Taking your shoes off on a long flight is not rude though. Sticking them up in the air like the person in the picture is rude.”
In an unexpected turn, one commenter offered a cheeky response, saying, “I’d be the one to tell her that the pungent aroma of her feet is enticing and erotic.”
“Some people would pay money for that,” someone added, humorously. “So I hear.”
The flight in question appeared to be on a Delta plane, although the destination remains unknown.
This incident isn’t the first time a discourteous airplane passenger has been called out for openly displaying their feet.
In a similar occurrence last month, a passenger on an Australian flight was photographed resting her bare feet on the seat in front of her.
“This would have to be one of the most disgusting things that I’ve seen on a flight in a long time,” the person who shared the photo on a Facebook group wrote.
The individual who captured the image disclosed that, after enduring the situation for 20 minutes, they politely requested the person to retract their feet.
The photograph ignited a lengthy discussion among Facebook users, with one person sharing a personal experience of encountering a similar situation on a long-haul flight from Paris to Singapore, where the passenger in front had protruding feet attached to a backpacker, leading to an unpleasant odor.
