Woman shocks fellow flight massagers by using toes to change TV channel on flight to Hawaii

One woman left passengers on a plane shocked after changing stations on her TV with her feet.

On Dec. 22, Sarah Bengard, who goes by the username @eade_bengard, posted a photo on X of the incident. The photo was taken by her younger brother, who was on a flight to Hawaii. In the picture, a woman with tie-dye pink and orange pants puts her barefoot feet on the sides of the TV.

"This merits a spot on the Do Not Fly list," Bengard captioned the photo.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Bengard recalls her reaction when her brother first sent her the photo.

"It made me want to gag," she says. "Some people are so discourteous — it looks like satire. It also made me realize that people who wipe and disinfect every inch of their seat might not be that crazy."

Bengard also says she shared the photo on social media to bring attention to plane etiquette. "I decided to share it because I think if you aren’t afraid of what a full flight thinks of your bare feet on the screen, you’re probably not afraid of what the internet thinks either," she says.

She continues: "It’s also a dramatic example of how discourteous people act on flights these days. She’s really one-upping people who don’t use headphones and make their neighbors listen to random audio."

Bengard also wrote that after her brother sent her the photo, she understood why people disinfect everything on a plane before sitting down. Others quickly shared their agreement.

"And people wonder why I wipe down every surface area I can on these planes some folks are down right disgusting," an X user captioned a repost of Bengard's post.

"I used to think that people Lysol wiping their seats before a flight were being dramatic but I take that back. I'm sorry," someone else wrote on X.

This isn't the first time someone has posted a photo on social media of barefoot airplane antics.

In July 2019, New York Times best-selling crime novelist Alafair Burke posted a video to Twitter of a man on a plane scrolling through the in-flight entertainment system using his bare feet. The video — which also shows the man leaning back in his seat and resting both of his feet on the wall in front of him between touchscreen turns — was quickly spread across the social media platform, where it has garnered more than 10.7 million views.

“This is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen on Twitter,” wrote one critic. “People leave the house and lose their damn minds,” another added.

While some wondered whether the man onboard suffered from a muscular impairment, which would in turn force him to use his feet instead of his hands, Burke clarified in a follow-up post that her friend saw the man “walk on and off the plane, carrying his own bag.”

“He just likes to watch TV with his bare feet,” she tweeted.
