Dubai: When you’re cooped up in an aircraft, the last thing you want to see (or smell) are someone’s feet. Unfortunately, American actor Andy Richter wasn’t so lucky. On a recent flight, he saw a passenger airing his feet on the small television screen in front of him.
###
Gross!
###
In a series of tweets that went viral, Richter said: “There were dirty toes smudges where his feet were. I am not exaggerating… You could see the outline of his big toe, etc.”
###
The thread resonated with many users, and was shared multiple times. It received more than 55,000 likes on Twitter.
###
What happened on the plane?
###
Richter, who appears on the show “Late Night with Conan O’Brien’, did not want to trouble the passenger who had taken off his shoes and put his feet up.
###
Instead, he alerted a flight attendant who told the passenger to put them down, but he listened only temporarily.
###
Richter tweeted: “…Puts them back a few minutes later and I asked him to put them down. “They’re your bare feet, man.” He was shocked and put them down. When he just put them back up I decided… I’m tweeting.”
###
The passengers of the plane had to get off because of “lightning” when Richter noticed the toe smudges around the television frame.
###
Richter wrote: “The flight attendant came back right before we got off and asked him to take them down again. Guy did and asked ‘is that like a just-when-taxiing thing?’ Attendant: ‘no, it’s a basic airplane courtesy thing.’ Guy seemed surprised to hear that.”
###
Richter did not name the passenger but shamed him online, gathering support from his fans.

Tweeps react to people with poor airplane etiquette
###
Many online users shared their own experiences and commented on how some people don’t know how to behave in public.
###
Tweep @AllisonRFloyed posted: “A woman was doing that in the waiting area of my dentist’s office at my last cleaning. Some people think the whole world is their living room.”
###
User @YatesWilburn posted: “If the guy was surprised to hear someone call him out on this, that implies he’s done it many, many times before and absolutely NO ONE called him out.
###
“How does that happen? How do you fly EVEN ONCE without SOMEONE calling you out for this, let alone MULTIPLE TIMES?”
###
And Tweep @pattracy pointed out that more than an issue of “courtesy”, it was also a “hygiene issue”.
