Why are we always our worst selves on a plane?

Humans. They can be totally revolting on the ground and in their own homes, sure.

But put them in a confined space with lots of other humans, several thousand feet in the air? They become vile, unstoppable monsters with no regard for basic hygiene, body odour, or accurate aim with regards to the toilet bowl.

And they probably think they can get away with it.

UNTIL

NOW

Flight attendants have gone rogue and now there’s such a thing as “Passenger Shaming”. Photographs have appeared on Instagram of Bad Plane Behaviour. And they’re pretty hilarious.

Exhibit A. The Guy. No clothes.

Exhibit B. Perfect condom placement.

Exhibit C. Oh boy.

AND ALL OF THESE. OH GOD.

So, peeing in the bathroom sink. Sexing in the aisles. Getting naked and snoring. All of this behaviour happens on planes.

Is it because our fears are heightened, that high in the sky? Do we think we can get away with terrible awful thing because it’s dark and we’re among strangers? Why, oh why, do so many people think it’s cool to do weird stuff on planes?

WHY?

Have you ever seen someone do something gross on a plane? Do you do anything weird on planes?
