WILD BLUE YONDER — Traveling in a big tin can with a bunch of strangers may be convenient, but it isn't always ideal.
Of course, there's discomfort with plane travel itself, including seats crammed together like sardines, questionable shared bathrooms, and trying to stay hydrated with one cup of Sprite.
Then there's the people.
Humans are fine, but sometimes humanity is a little bit ... not. You never know who is traveling while sick (even before COVID-19), who will talk and talk to you even though it's obvious you're trying to read a book, or if an infant will have a justifiably bad day and everyone knows it for how many hours. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
For example, taking your shoes off on a long plane trip isn't always the worst, but stripping down to your bare feet and placing your feet on someone else's armrest is near the top of not cool plane behavior.
The 4-year-old boy in this video will not abide such flagrant disregard of plane etiquette.
In this video, the boy boldly goes where many people have never gone before — he directly confronts the offending woman about her "stinky feet."
The only thing you can do is watch the clip and laugh as much, if not more, than the boy's dad who filmed the precocious incident.
