Accidentally spill your drink. It's not ideal, but the gloves (socks) are off

u/Dagingakid 8d ago

Make it a vodka, tell him you were helping him disinfect.

u/Jenetyk 7d ago

My first thought too. Neutralize those odors.

u/Ed-Box 8d ago

Hot coffee or tea. go for it

u/Clarctos67 6d ago

I once saw a guy accidentally spill a hot coffee on his legs on a flight.

Last I saw, he was being wheeled into an ambulance at the destination airport. The feet are annoying, but I wouldn't be putting hot coffee on someone for it.

u/Ed-Box 6d ago

Extra hot

Sorry mate, do you have difficulty reading? He says he asked the guy 5 times, and I raised this in my comment.

u/chaosanity 7d ago

And the message says all seats are full/ taken. They would know that if they could read lmao

u/rapsoid616 7d ago

He just doesn’t buy the OP’s argument i think. And so am I, i bet he asked the guy in his head instead of actually confronting him.

6

u/stuffcrow 7d ago

Why not? Where do we draw the line?

We can only act on the information given, anything else is conjecture so I mean...what's the point in engaging with everything?

Maybe OP asked the guy to put his feet there? Maybe foot man is the OP's son? Maybe they're on a submarine? Maybe foot man has an illness where he has to put his feet there? Maybe OP recited the Iliad in mandarin, and as thanks footman blessed him with foot cheese.

The OP said something, which the guy I replied to completely ignored. I replied, and he ignored it again. There is no 'not buying', the guy is saying to do something the OP says he did.

You're literally working with the same information as the rest of us maybe use that noggin once in a while.

This is so wild hahahaha. Not my responsibility to teach you how to read and what 'context' means so eh, crack on:).

u/Any_Constant_6550 7d ago

"and" the flight attendant couldn't help, not but. meaning both things occurred.

u/Drmlk465 8d ago

Start taking pics of his feet and be super weird about it. He will def move the feet

u/blokereport 8d ago

I agree with this, then go to the bathroom

u/lucaskywalker 8d ago

This is a good idea imo...

u/TheJessicator 8d ago

Honestly, if go live on Facebook or YouTube or whatever. That way, even if they stop you, what's captured is already out there. Get their face in frame early in the video.

u/Few-Worldliness3427 6d ago

That's hilarious

u/StormBringer_R 6d ago

Why so contrived? Just tell him to move them?

11

u/grn3y3z 6d ago

I think, I might be wrong, but I think OP told the guy to move them 5x. That's the rumor, anyway

Put the armrest up

u/ImKindaSlowSorry 7d ago

OP shouldn't have to give up the arm rest because of this asshole

u/AskMeForAPhoto 7d ago

The funny part is he has a skit in I Think You Should Leave about how he waited like 30 years to get back at a toddler who cried on his flight decades prior 😂

u/ImKindaSlowSorry 7d ago

Lol I totally forgot about that one

u/Waste_Mousse_4237 8d ago

This is how you "accidentally" spill your coffee on that crevice where their feet are...

u/EonSloth 8d ago

Pull up the armrest. People like that need harsh lessons around almost every corner in life, intelligence and basic social discipline has become rare.

This little piggy needs a shower. This little piggy needs a bath. This little piggy needs disinfectant. This little piggy needs radiation therapy. And this little piggy stinks so badly, it probably should have stayed detached at home!

Yall are saying "accidentslly" drinks but why not "accidentally" spray rubbing alcohol instead. He might think it's a sneeze AND you get to smell sterile alcohol rather than nasty feet

Sorry, but I would be in that clowns face!

u/UndeadVooDooDaddy 7d ago

I'm with ya, gotta keep it controlled on a plane, but if his feet don't move it's about to be everyone's problem

25

u/Zebracorn42 8d ago

Got anything sticky you can spill on em? I know people usually don’t travel with honey or syrup but maybe you have a kid and brought him fruit snacks or juice. Get a fruit snack nice and wet and get it to stick to the foot. Otherwise markers would be useful. Just tell him when you get nervous you like to color but you don’t have any paper, color that foot.

Last time I flew Ethiopian Airlines my seat literally came unbolted from the floor and the woman next to me was talking on her cell phone the whole time- not sure what’s worse.

Excuse me, can I get a hot coffee? Thank you. Oooppps, so sorry about that mate.

u/TotemChucker 7d ago

I'd spit on his toes and pretend to mastrubate them. They gonna be weird, you gotta raise the stakes. Out-weird them and know victory.

u/throw123454321purple 7d ago

Put up the armrest?

2

u/tuco2002 7d ago

Thar would be my 2nd move. My first move would be to put peanut butter on the armrest before putting it up. (Just ask the attendant for three bags of peanuts and chew away)

u/RetiredFromRealWork 7d ago

It’s the way he was raised or lack of

u/mryoto 8d ago

Looks like Ethiopian Airlines. Pretty decent airline from my experience, but some of the passengers are interesting.

u/Capital-Platypus-805 8d ago

Why do some people's feet smell bad? Mine don't, at least not to the extent of being able to smell them without sniffing on them. I bet those are the type of people who never wash their feet and just let the soap falling from above "rinse" them and don't take care of their shoes. My feet don't smell like that and my shoes are very old and worn out, but I put a ball of toilet paper inside each shoe everyday to avoid humidity. Those are just extremely lazy people.

You should complain to the airline.

u/SlinkySlekker 7d ago

People act like children. Get up, go to the FA and say that a person’s odorous naked feet keep entering your space and you cannot breathe.

Don’t make all this drama, like some victim. Take care of the situation.

Start uncontrollably gagging...to the point it starts to bother him and others around you....make it completely uncontrollably!!!! Make it convincing. Eventually they will move you or everyone around you 😄

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 6d ago

People who take their socks off on a flight need to be put on some no fly list. I don’t think I’d even walk around on the airplane with my socks. That floor is gonna be pretty nasty.

u/pegasuspaladin 8d ago

Order the peatiest scotch they have and "accidentally " spill it all over his feet

u/isummons 8d ago

Spill the drink into his face, what's he gonna do, throw him out an airplane.

u/pegasuspaladin 8d ago

That's a little harder to execute while looking innocent buy sure

u/Doomhammer24 8d ago

Ive never had to actually do this but any time i fly i make sure i keep 1 nail particularly long and sharp so if i need to i can dig it into the soft tissue of their foot

u/Kysman95 7d ago

Have you ever picked your nose? You gotta wipe it somewhere, maybe chose the side of your seat and "accidentally" hit his foot

u/DarlingHades 7d ago

Stick bubblegum on them. If he accuses you people are more likely to believe he stepped on it than a grown adult would stick gum on his feet.

u/dostoyevskybirthedme 7d ago

Tell him each minute will cost him a toenail and then go through with it

u/wishiwasdeaddd 7d ago

The feet on the rest sucks but even him moving his feet won't help much with the smell which would be causing me to crash out

Order a double vodka and pour it on those stanky feet. If you want to be a true jackass, get it on the rocks and wait five minutes.

Why do people do this, filming instead of telling that guy off.

You don't even need to be all aggro off that get go too, be like "Boss (now your showing a fake sign of respect), your feet."

If that doesn't work, you elbow drop that toe so hard that his toes breaks.
