FLIGHT ATTENDANT REVEALS PLANE PASSENGERS’ MOST ‘DISGUSTING’ HABIT -AND SAYS MEN ARE THE MAIN CULPRITS

A flight attendant has revealed the 'disgusting' hygiene habit passengers skip before boarding.Dallas-based air hostess Cher Killough, who has worked in the industry for five years, recently took to TikTok to call out bad in-flight etiquette - and took aim at people who don't shower before early flights in particular.
Branding this behavior as 'unacceptable' in her TikTok, Cher revealed she thinks travelers should 'go to prison' for not showering before getting on a plane.
In the clip, she said: 'There is zero reason that I should be smelling a stranger's body odour radiating off of their warm body at five o'clock in the morning.
'And it's always men, sometimes it's ladies who are having a lady problem that nobody told them about, but usually it's men.
She added: 'Wash yourself! You are going to be shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Show up clean or don't come at all.'
Elsewhere Cher revealed another annoying habit is when people play music and other noises out loud on their phones or iPad.
She said: 'It's no one else's problem except yours that you didn't charge your earpods or you didn't bring headphones.
'Why are you making it everyone else's problem around you, Jail! I don't care if your kid is going to cry because they can't listen to Cocomelon on full blast that is less annoying than hearing off of their iPad.'
People rushed to the comments to leave their own thoughts with some agreeing with the flight attendant.
One person said: 'The body odor thing is absolutely, however if they are on this flight because another was cancelled or something and they had to sleep at the airport. maybe hand out body wipes....'
Another added: 'Ever had to run twenty minutes to a connecting flight with luggage in tow? You’ll sweat, my dear, and there may be an odour.'
To which Cher replied: 'Wear deodorant ?? It's pretty simple, it works in a preventative way.'
Someone else added: 'I can't handle the crying. I'd rather the cocomelon'
A fourth added: 'And don't be drunk, sweating and smelling of booze and puke.'
It comes after Cher revealed a further three annoying habits that she believes should be made 'illegal' on plane journeys.
According to Cher, the most irritating behavior is 'manspreading' or, more specifically, 'manspreading when you're in a middle seat'.
According to the Oxford English dictionary, manspreading refers to the 'the practice whereby a man adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat' - especially on public transport.
Branding this behavior as 'unacceptable' in her TikTok, Cher said: 'I've been a passenger, and had it numerous times, where men will spread their knees all the way into my seat section or the person's on the other side.
'It's just unacceptable.
'It's always the shortest ones that are doing it!' she continued. 'I'm 5ft 8in, so if I'm taking up just my seat section, then you as a little 5ft 6in man can definitely do the same.'
Cher also claimed that 'smelling like anything' during a flight was inconsiderate to other passengers.
'It's already an environment where people are prone to getting nauseous, so having an extra fragrance on top of that is just not a good mix.
'But if I had to pick one, I would definitely choose someone's perfume over someone's body odor over because we get that sometimes,' she clarified.
Lastly, Cher added, taking off your shoes and walking around the plane barefoot was a big no-no.
'You seriously need to go to jail if you are having your bare toes out when you go to the bathroom,' she continued.
'I see this all the time and it should be against the law and in general I don't want to see your bare feet at all. Wear shoes or wear socks.'
The clip, which racked up over 7,000 views, was captioned: 'Don't get mad at the fragrance one in the cabin! Some people are extremely sensitive to smells (I'm people)'
Cher's clip sparked a spirited discussion in the comments section, with several people agreeing with her advice.
One TikTok user noted: 'When they man spread in the middle i make myself as big as possible 'til they get the hint.'
Another added: 'If someone man spreads I just lean my legs against him. He’ll move and retract eventually.'
Someone else added: 'If he manspreads I’m doing it too and now making things awkward by our legs touching.'
A fourth added: 'Thank you for this… I’m a fairly frequent flier with fragrance hypersensitivity.
'I had a woman try to wipe down our shared armrest with a fragranced wet wipe, once.'
