A passenger on this flight was caught on camera lazily propping up his feet, using his toes to swipe through the supplied in-flight entertainment.

If you need that slightest push over the other side of the fence that you should probably sanitize everything you’re going to touch the next time you’re on a flight, this disgusting seven-second video should be enough. According to the friend of New York Times bestselling crime author Alafair Burke, who apparently doesn’t have a Twitter account from earlier today (July 15, 2019) this airline passenger took off his socks and was casually caught scrolling through the in-flight entertainment with just his feet.

Check out the horrifying video below.

A couple of people responding to Alafair’s video were quick to jump on their high-horse that we shouldn’t be so easily judgy and, perhaps this man can’t use his arms. Although that’s a possibility, it’s quite a preposterous jump in logic as the man’s arms are clearly visible, resting on the armrests.

More than one person referenced Naomi Campbell’s pre-fight checklist of her own which includes a thorough wipe down of all hard surfaces in her vicinity.

One man claimed that somehow feet are cleaner than hands which is quite asinine when you think about it. How often do you wash your feet as opposed to your hands? Also, feet stay in dark, damp, and sweaty socks whereas hands, for the most part, are just out there, dry.

While feet might be cleaner than hands, to say that they’re germ-free and sanitary is just disingenuous.

Airlines are in the business to get you in, up in the air, and out of their metal tubes as quickly and safely as possible. I don’t think they’re spending extra time to sanitize anything, besides the bathroom, once you disembark. I’m sure their PR will tell you otherwise.

So ya, don’t use your feet to scroll through anything. Be a decent human being and use your fingers, however dirty, for my mental sanity and for the illusion of health. Thank you.
