Flying in a plane is never comfortable. The seats are cramped, the aisle are awkwardly narrow, and the food is basically 3D printed. Most travelers understand that there's a certain etiquette that must be that must be followed to prevent further discomfort for the good of the rest of the group and a few unspoken rules simply cannot be broken. Never bring your own hard boiled eggs for a snack, never let your kiddos play annoying games on your phone at full volume, and absolutely, never, EVER take your dang shoes off on the plane. However, some people only think about themselves and commit unforgivable atrocities that destroy the entire cabin's quality of life.

One frequent flyer, a Redditor named PAPointGuy, decided to take matters into his own hands when a fellow passenger selfishly committed an act of air treason when he took his shoes off on the plane. To set the scene, PointGuy was on a flight from Pittsburgh to San Fransisco, which means he was obligated to share his economy neighbors for at least 6 hours. To be trapped in the same location for that long can be traumatizing in normal circumstances, but PointGuy was sat next to the worst variety of travelers known to man– the shoe-taker-offers. Almost immediately when the plane took off, the large man sitting next to PointGuy took his boots off, leaving a cloud of foot stench surrounding the entire aisle.

As his nose hair singed from the stench, PointGuy was brewing a fury for impeding revenge. Once the man had fallen asleep, PointGuy highjacked the shoes for the sake of the entire flight, snatching them from under his nose and storing them in the overhead bins at the back of the plane. Undisturbed and unbothered, the stinky sleeper got his foulness revoked. At the end of the flight, the musty man awoke to find his bare feet in danger of being permanently unclothed. As everyone was exiting the plane, PointGuy couldn't help but chuckle at the man's misfortune as he struggled to find his footware– finally, and on his way out the door, he hinted to the stewardesses that there might have been a pair of shoes in the very back in the overhead bins. Subtlety the stewardess smiled at him, knowing his petty revenge was well warranted for the smelly crime of removing your shoes on the plane.
