Plane passengers disturbed as barefoot man flaunts his six toes on a flight
Long-haul flights are uncomfortable at the best of times and one passenger's journey was made all the worse by one inconsiderate person. It's considered bad etiquette to take both your shoes and socks off mid-flight and on top of this, aeroplane floors are extremely dirty. Sometimes they're even covered in bodily fluids - but that doesn't stop everyone from leaving their socks on.
A video has gone viral online of a particularly rude passenger who decided to have his feet out for the entire trip. After zooming in on the fellow traveller's foot, the camera pans out to the window as the plane takes off. When you take a closer look at the clip, you can see the person has unkept toenails, hairy feet and six toes. It looks like the person has Polydactyly, which is a birth defect that occurs when a person is born with extra fingers or toes. It affects around one in every 700-to-1,000 births worldwide.

The video has gone viral (TIKTOK)People were baffled by the TikTok video and couldn't believe that someone could be so thoughtless. The video has received a staggering 8.1million views and more than 15,000 comments, with most people making fun of the bizarre clip and resurrecting the argument about whether it's appropriate to go barefoot in public.
The top comment with over 40,000 likes, is simply "I'm telling you right now…" with laughing emojis. "I was so focused on the hair that I nearly missed the twins," another wrote. A third added: "You know he's not lack toes intolerant.” And a fourth joked: "That's an extra carry-on fee."
Some people were a little more understanding of the man in the situation. "Ok to be fair, it's probably so uncomfortable to wear shoes but man… bring some slippers or something. NO ONE should be dogs out on a plane," a commenter wrote. "Imagine if that was your foot and you suddenly saw it on TikTok," someone else said. Another added: "The only time I'll accept shoes off on a plane, it's gotta hurt rubbing against the top all the time poor guy."
