Flight attendants are faced with various situations every day that can greatly affect the comfort and safety of passengers. What are the most disgusting habits that passengers do on a plane? How do these habits affect other passengers and airline staff?
A flight attendant, who regularly shares interesting stories from her profession on social networks, revealed some of the most unpleasant behaviors of passengers on planes. On her TikTok account, where she has about 20,000 followers, she posted a video in which she exposed the three most disgusting things, which passengers do during the flight.

Liquid spillage
The first problem she highlighted is related to water bottles. "When passengers put a bottle of water or any other liquid in the compartment above the seats, there is almost always a spill on take-off. This not only destroys other passengers' luggage, but the water always spills on one of them.”
Reckless use of the toilet
Another problem is related to using the toilet during turbulence, especially in men. "The worst thing you can do is go to the bathroom during a whirlwind. Not only is it dangerous, but the urine ends up everywhere. This is why toilet paper rolls are often wet on airplanes.”

A third problem arises when a passenger gets on the plane with stomach problems. "I often see people who don't feel well already when boarding. And, no, it's not the usual motion sickness. As we reach altitude, their condition worsens, leading to uncontrollable vomiting or passing gas. We are here to help you if you are not feeling well, but for your safety and comfort and the well-being of other passengers, it is better to reschedule your flight when you are healthier.”
Misbehavior of passengers
In addition to problems with hygiene, flight attendants also encounter inappropriate behavior from passengers. This includes everything from loud behavior, arguing with fellow passengers and staff, to not following safety instructions. "Sometimes passengers don't realize that their behavior affects everyone around them," said the flight attendant. "Our goal is to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip for everyone, so it is important that passengers behave respectfully and follow the rules."
