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?

In the terminal: Attention (insert name): Please return to the plane and kindly clean up your mess. Embarrass them, they deserve it.

Never understood why people are so gross. I've taken many long flights, I'd gross myself out having garbage everywhere.

I'm always the last to leave a plane, being in a wheelchair, as I have to wait for it to be brought up to the planes door etc etc. This means I get to chat to the staff and see the disgusting state some folk leave the plane in. One time I saw a sight the same/ worse than this and commented to the staff at how shock I was, especially as they came round every 30 minutes with rubbish bags, I felt so sorry for whomever had to clean it up. Some people should have their flying rights revoked, or not be allowed any luggage except checked in and not be allowed any food etc on the plane so they have no opportunity to make a mess.

That would be awesome! Hand them a bag, and have them clean up, or ban them from the airline. And shame them on social media.

This is how they live at home, too. Most likely. Some people are absolutely filthy and oblivious of it.

I really don't get it, how some people can be pigs like this, with TOTAL lack of consideration for anything or anyone! Unchecked, utter arseholeness.

This is what the back seat of my car looks like (three little kids) after a few weeks. But I couldn’t imagine leaving a mess like that behind for someone else to clean!

whoa wtf is this...."lets just f**k up the plane because someone else cleans it up". Plane cleaners have like 7 minutes to clean the entire plane and get off, this sort of thing sets them and further flights back

Curious as to how this happened, flight attendants walk up and down and ask for trash.

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
