IT’S an age-old problem every passenger is accustomed to – another flyer invading your cramped plane seat.
One flyer wanted to know if he was the problem after posting a photo of someone’s feet touching his leg with the caption “should I report it to the stewards?”

Posting on the Reddit page r/CasualUK the user adopted a somewhat satirical tone when he posted a photo of a baby’s feet touching his leg.
He captioned the post: “On a flight and a passenger keeps putting his bare feet on me.”
Fellow Reddit users took it as an opportunity to make jokes about the all-too-common situation.
One wrote: “Those piggies need to go to the market” while another wrote “They need Eenie-Meanying immediately.”
A lot of the jokes relied on baby puns to make light of the situation as one wrote: “They need to grow up.”
Another said: “I believe the agreed etiquette in these situations is to blow raspberries on them.”
Others had some slightly more outrageous suggestions, using the opportunity to comment absurd ideas for how to handle the situation.
One Reddit users commented: “I would assert dominance by picking them up and using them as a phone, putting on a stupid voice.”
Another similar suggestion reads: “Completely unacceptable. Have you considered threatening to put him in the overhead locker?”
There was a clear divide among commenters between those who like children, and those who don’t.
Child-loving users were sympathetic to the situation, commenting on how cute the tiny baby’s feet were.
The not-so-friendly users continued with their edgy jokes, writing: “Just yeet the baby” accompanied by an animated image of someone throwing a baby.
Another suggested they post it on the popular subreddit r/PassengerShaming.
This forum is a safe space for passengers to vent about their worst aeroplane experiences.
It includes shaming behaviours like being barefoot, having your hair over the back of the chair, and blocking the aisle.

It’s not the first time that travellers have been left frustrated by their fellow cabin-mates’ behaviour.
An EasyJet flight recently drew attention for being turned into a ‘mid-air nightclub’ by unruly flyers.
During a trip to Ibiza, a group of drunk Brits caused havoc as they banged on luggage compartments and yelled “come on Ibiza.”
Other passengers on the plane were clearly uncomfortable about the situation, with one saying she felt “scared”.
Unlike the much more agreeable baby, these British passengers were met by police on arrival.
