Traveling is one of the most beautiful things in the world, but it can hide several unpleasant and unexpected disadvantages, especially during the journey to get to your destination. A photo by a traveler, posted on Reddit, raised a lot of discussion about herself precisely because of the incident which occurred while she was sitting on the plane. The young woman suddenly saw the bare feet belonging the man sitting in the row behind her emerge from under her seat. The ignorance and the rude gesture enacted by the man upset the woman, so much so that she could not help but take a photograph and publicise it. Is it possible that after paying the price of a plane ticket, you also have to deal with this type of inappropriate behavior from other passengers?

When traveling, each of us has their own way of facing the journey: there are those who listen to music with earphones, those who fall asleep and those who, perhaps, read. But no one should ever allow themselves to annoy another passenger, in any way. And if by any chance one passenger's behavior should be encroaching on another, for any reason, they should apologize and change their behavior immediately. Unfortunately, this did not happen with the passenger who decided to stretch his legs under the seat of the unfortunate passenger in the row in front of him. As if that weren't enough, the rude passenger had even taken off his shoes!

"The joys of international travel" reads the post that the young woman published on Reddit.

Clearly, a shower of comments from Reddit users arrived after the photo was posted. There are those who simply made ironic remarks about the shabby look of the man's feet ("Are those troll feet under the seat?") And who pointed out how rude that behavior was on the plane ("Honestly, I would tell him just 'get your damn feet out of my personal space, that's downright rude, I really don't think I could tolerate it"). By plane, in any case, you can't even get up to get away from the unpleasant situation, so you have to face it.

It is always very unpleasant when someone invades your personal space: what would you have done in this woman's place? Let us know in the comments!
