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.

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

I don' t see anything bad about it. It's not like he's bothering someone. And he may be a pyrotechnic. So what?

That's not what you want to see while hurdling through the air in a pressurized steel tube 30,000 feet above the ground.

From your point of view, dear Magdalena, when I imagine I was you, absolutely right 👉 Imagine the fear of anyone travelling behind this man (when knowing there have been a lot of explosives in airplanes - > that's why it has become hard worldwide traveling with explosives). Isn't it the only thing that matters, human beings talking to other human beings about humanity?

Some people work for companies that make and deal with explosives, therefore his company most likely handed them out and he forgot what he was wearing.

Maybe they work in pyrotechnics? Places like Disney have people who buy and set up all their fireworks displays and fireworks are technically explosives.

I had an acquaintance in junior high school who was underage past curfew walk up to a cop and told him exactly that. It was apparently ok because his parents were aware of where he was, but he thought it was funny or liked to break rules or something. Maybe this is the same type of person? He knew he didn't have any explosives so he wanted to a rise out of people?

NO WAY he wore that through security. I wore a shirt with a silhouette of a man shooting a zombie, and I got pulled over and checked for gunpowder residue. I kid you not. I've never been within 1000 feet of a gun (that I know of).
