Woman’s “NASTY” aeroplane act sparks heated debate on social media — "Worrying lack of consideration for others"
- Replies 35
Social media is ablaze with outrage after a passenger was spotted practising a "rude" act during her flight from Melbourne to Adelaide.
The concerned passenger, who took a photo of the offender — who put her feet up on the headrest in front of her just a few centimetres away from another passenger's head — took to Twitter to share the snap.
"The person next to me on my flight," the concerned passenger wrote in the caption.

The post has captured the attention of many users, with several agreeing that the act was beyond rude and that the woman should apologise for it.
However, many social media users were quick to jump to the defence of the woman, with some speculating that the woman may be suffering from a "medical condition", which might be the reason why she had her feet up on the headrest.
One person explained: "Actually, that person could suffer from all sorts of conditions that require her legs to be up when flying."
"There are various conditions that are aided by legs being up in the air (no pun intended)."
It should be noted that elevating your legs while resting can prevent conditions like deep vein thrombosis and blood clots from worsening.
Other users turned their attention to the passenger who posted the picture, calling them out for being insensitive.
One user argued: "Is she really harming anyone?"
"If she's not touching the guy in front I don't see the problem," another added.
A third chimed in: "If she's not touching the guy in front, I don't see the problem."

Others were less forgiving, with some Twitter users describing the woman as "nasty" and "appalling".
One comment read: "Worrying lack of consideration for others."
"Omg that is so nasty," another said.
One user pointed out that the affected passenger did not complain, questioning why other people who were not even onboard the flight were fuming over the act.
The passenger in front of the woman replied in the discussion, saying that he remained asleep the entire flight.
Meanwhile, the woman in question has yet to comment on the issue.
There's no doubt that this simple, possibly health-related act has got people talking! We can certainly relate to the difficulty of getting comfortable on a plane, but not if it comes at the expense of another person’s wellbeing. We even feel a little guilty reclining our seats sometimes…
How about you? What are your thoughts on this?
