Flight attendants encounter a wide range of curious behaviors from passengers on a regular basis. Cher, a flight attendant based in Dallas, Texas, shared some of the most bizarre habits she has observed during her five years in the industry.
Cher’s TikTok followers were treated to anecdotes of passengers behaving in peculiar ways. The most common strange behavior, according to Cher, is passengers attempting to capture selfies with the flight crew in the background. Despite Cher’s attempts to avoid being photographed, passengers often contort their phones to capture her in unflattering angles.
Another disconcerting behavior is the trend of passengers ignoring flight attendants’ greetings upon entering the plane. Cher acknowledges that boarding can be overwhelming, but this phenomenon occurs frequently.
Additionally, Cher has witnessed passengers wandering through the aisle barefoot, leaving them with potentially soggy and uncomfortable socks for the duration of their flight. Other peculiar incidents include passengers concocting their own beverages, taking sips from abandoned water bottles, and even pilfering sandwiches left unattended on beverage carts.
Cher’s revelations have raised eyebrows and elicited disgust from readers. Many expressed their disapproval of passengers walking barefoot in aircraft cabins, fearing the unsanitary conditions it may create. The consensus among commentators is that these unusual behaviors can be amusing, but they also highlight the need for basic etiquette and respect in shared spaces like airplanes.
