A woman has left plane passengers horrified after brushing her teeth at her seat on a 14-hour flight and spitting into cup afterwards.
An onlooker took to Reddit to complain after witnessing the bad travel etiquette on a 14-hour flight to London.
Dental hygiene is of course essential and no doubt people on board would not have minded her taking the opportunity to clean her gnashers had she not done it in her very seat.
What’s worse, according to an anonymous traveller who sat next to her, the toilets were only three rows in front — and they were free.
Taking to Reddit to share their horror on the thread PassengerShaming, user anyiar0cks described the ordeal in detail.
They wrote: ‘Girl next to me brushed her teeth from her seat, spat in a cup, shook the tooth brush in the air to dry it out, and kept the cup there for four hours.’
Continuing the story, they went on: ‘So I was on a 14h flight to London. Next to me was an Australian couple.
‘I fall asleep, then woke up to the girl brushing her teeth from her seat?! Then she proceeded to spit in a cup, shook the toothbrush in the air to dry it out, and kept the cup there for 4h.
‘The toilets were 3 rows in front of us. (and were free).’

Public transport etiquette is a fiercely debated topic, particularly on aeroplanes where space and ventilation is limited.
One traveller sparked a discussion after she complained about a fellow passenger’s ‘entitled and selfish’ act on a flight.
The woman snapped an image of a fellow passenger sitting in front of her painting her nails, causing the strong smell of the polish to fill the cabin.
While a small minority saw no issue with the woman using the three hour flight to paint and dry her nails, most were outraged by the ‘rude’ and ‘inconsiderate’ behaviour.
The flyer vented her frustrations online saying she was asked by other passengers to put the nail varnish away but she refused.
‘The flight attendant asked her after four of us asked her to stop and she didn’t, because by the time the flight attendant got involved, she was doing the top coat,’ she said in a Reddit post.
She admitted she did not ask the woman to stop doing her nails joking: ‘I did the British thing and glared at the back of her head and tutted loudly until she finally put it away.’
Hundreds were shocked by the woman’s ‘audacity’ to give herself a manicure without thinking about the smell it would cause.
‘People like this make me realise how overly considerate I am. My brain can’t comprehend this level of entitlement and selfishness,’ one user wrote.

‘R.I.P everybody’s nose,’ laughed another and a third said: ‘This is psychopath behaviour’.
‘I would have literally snatched that and tossed it in the toilet. I can’t stand the smell of that in a well ventilated house,’ replied a fourth.
Others wondered how she got the substances past security.
‘How is nail polish and nail polish remover allowed on a carry on bag??? Both are highly flammable and both give off ridiculous amounts of fumes,’ one person asked.
In Australia, Virgin flights allow passengers to pack nail polish and nail polish remover in the carry on but use on board the aircraft is strictly prohibited.
Most airlines don’t have an official policy on the use of nail polish.
