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?

Yes, I think she is polishing her toenails. Add the nail polish smell to the stinky feet smell.

I had a boyfriend who demanded we be let off the plane because some women open the nail polish and stunk up the plane. I was not pleased. When the stewardess asked if I wanted to get off the plane with him I seriously hesitated.

Sounds like that woman should have been the one to have to leave the plane. Why would the flight crew even allow this?

Making the most of her time on a long flight . Smart lady .( Side note : I once saw a lady going to work by using her bus time to do her hair and made up her face prettily up to attaching her false lashes in 15 minutes .
