Think of the most unusual (or disgusting) scene you've ever seen on a plane flight. Now imagine sharing that with more than 745,000 followers on Instagram? This is how "Passenger Shaming" works, an Instagram account dedicated to spreading the most bizarre moments and bad manners seen on flights - and recorded by passengers or commissioners.

The public shaming site was started by Shawn Kathleen — a mom, former police officer and paramedic who worked as a flight attendant for seven years. She came up with the original concept and started the brand on her own approximately five years ago. It has since been featured in most media outlets across the globe and was named one of the “Best 100 Instagram accounts" by Rolling Stone Magazine.

Scroll down and see just how rude people can get while on a plane for yourself!

Maybe she is a subject of random selection and they messed up her bag and she has to repack. Is it a nuisance? Yeah, but so is random selection sometimes.

I guess the parents might have been asleep. Could have been a 12 hour flight and the kid was trying to keep themselves busy and not wake mum or dad.

Possible but if the kid was mature enough to not want to wake mum or dad they should already know better than to draw everywhere.

S****y parenting. No excuse for this. This was not an accident.

Yep. S****y parents are s****y. And they often don't even realize it. Poor s****y kids though.

The airline needs to either ban them or charge a cleaning fee.

This is horrible! Outrageous! i am so sick and tired of all the irresponsible people reproducing. No parenting skills. Just...breeding skills.

Bet these parents knew and just didn't care. Not their issue once they are off the plane.

For sure, I have seen this time and time again, where they are destroying property and parents do not care. Sad.

Shame on their parents, don't care what circumstance you should always teach your kids to respect other people stuff, animals and the earth. Only poor upbringing will let the kids destroyed others and still take it for granted.

If my children were too young to understand respect for others' property, there is no way I would have given them anything to cause this, if there was a chance I might fall asleep. People have got to be morons to allow this knowingly. I hope the parent/guardian got a cleaningt bill, but somehow I doubt it.

From age 2 kids have to have their own seat & it isn't always next to a parent. Airlines "should" seat children with a parent/guardian, but it doesn't always happen.

No well trained child would have done this. People in the US let their children get away with anything

If I was the airline, I'd be looking to charge the parents with the cost of cleaning that.

This is my biggest pet peeve. Parents who won’t keep an eye on their child and let them do ANYTHING.

Parenting isn't that hard. Got two kids just coming into adulthood and if they ever even thought about doing something like this they'd have known that they wouldn't like the consequences. No. I never hit or spanked them.

As a small child I was allowed to carry a box of crayons, pencils and pens onto the plane and I never once even thought of doing something like this. Maybe the kid didn't have paper or something.

What, because children can do whatever they want to and it's OK? Because we all just love seeing their "artwork"? At least teach them composition! Color theory! About linear and negative space! The beauty of a well drawn line and a decent curve! I agree. Clearly the parents haven't a clue.

Out of the million things you can do on a plane - watching a movie, listening to music, talking to the person next to you, socializing, being a good fellow passenger - you watch porn... Whoa!

At least they had the decency to use a bottle and not the next person's seat (and belongings).

Can we ban these people from flights please? Or at least make them clean up after themselves?

Start jamming food in there. A dab of butter. Some bread. A few potato chips. Some cheesecake. Whatever you've got. Could be interesting.

If he was good at it and played it well, it must've been a best case scenario. But if he was practising.... God save them
