We all know that space is cramped on airplanes, but that doesn't mean that it's acceptable to put your feet on someone else's headrest, sprawl across a row of seats when they're already occupied, or walk around the cabin barefoot.

PassengerShaming.com is a website that publicly calls out the rudest, grossest airline passenger behavior by posting photos of these offending passengers on Instagram and Facebook.

Wasn't me - don't wear pajamas.

“Remember when people used to dress up to go flying?”

Yes. The earliest flight that I can recall was in 1959. It sure was a different world then. It wasn’t too bad even during the 1970’s.

I hate it. And once I make it on the plane I scrunch up in my seat and put headphones on (usually with nothing playing lol) just so no slob will try to chat with me.

They need a photo of Chuck Schumer cursing out a flight attendant.

caveat. the few times i fly. when my frau and i fly southwest we are As or high Bs so we get a window and aisle. than we lean across the middle seat and talk until the plane fills up completely or starts backing away. it discourages some folks from sitting between us. one guy asked if we were together and don’t you want to sit next to your husband. he got annoyed when she said NO!. on long flights for vacation we have been known to take window seats in following rows, as in 14A and 15A to be more comfortable. one lady asked if my wife would want to change seats and laughed when i said “she is going to be next to me all week. she wants a window.

I do know what it means and yes, I should refrain from saying it. My apologies.

I’m usually flying alone and there is always some chatty person nearby. They talk the whole fricken flight.

Oh my! Are you two the couple I had to sit between five years ago? Both overweight and sweaty? Your wife allergic to perfume? That was a flight I will never forget. It wasn’t pleasant having to sit between you two and touch you as you spilled over your seats and leaned into me to talk. It was gross.

I haven’t seen at tie at work since the last recent graduate came though. Usually a tie indicates “I’m not technical, so only ask me general product questions”.

"I haven’t seen at tie at work...."

Only wear a tie in the office if I have customers coming in.
The topic of discussion, though, was clothing choices for air travel - I choose to wear a collared shirt and slacks or "good" jeans.
Hate the jammies or gym shorts look (take a bus why don't you....)
