Let’s start out the week with a bit of poetry…an ode to the disgusting Delta first class passenger who placed his feet on the bulkhead like he was delivering a baby.
Delta First Class Passenger Treats Bulkhead Like A Delivery Room
In Delta first class, where champagne freely flows,
A Florida man’s feet put on quite a show.
He flopped on the bulkhead, legs stretched out wide,
Like labor in progress at 30,000 feet side-by-side.
Flip-flops displayed with a proud little grin,
While neighbors just sighed and sipped on their gin.
The screen bore his toes, a cinematic disgrace,
Mountains on film, yet feet in your face.
Snacks on the table, trash strewn with glee,
From empty bottles rolling to pretzel debris.
The flight attendants gasped, the aisle grew tense,
But how do you enforce basic human sense?
First class was paid, but class wasn’t there,
The bulkhead his birthing chair high in the air.
The man seemed content in his sky-high recline,
Oblivious, graceless, and well out of line.
So next time you’re flying, please spare us the fright,
Keep feet on the floor — let’s all have a good flight.

I nominate this virile sloth for the Lorena Bobbitt in-flight vasectomy, as he has already assumed the position.
Sorry but this one in on the useless FAs. Apparently they are only there for our safety. Seriously, tell the passenger to not put his feet on the wall.
Agreed.
To be fair, we don’t know the time between his “assuming the position,” this photo, and an FA noticing (or should have noticed). I never selecr bulkhead, narrowbody F because I want storage space in front of me for my carryon. But, I’ve seen this occur with some frequency, albeit dealt with properly by an FA every time.
I never understood how people can let themselves go so much, if you can fly domestic F (which is not expensive), you can pay for some glp-1 (super cheap) now.
@ Hal — The guy probably thinks he is God’s gift to women and that it is high time they be put back in their rightful place. His wife’s in E-. GF is next to him. Pig.
I notice many domestic first class passengers are simply tacky obese people.
@Clanger: I think your statement is not true but I will tell you that after being upgraded to first class many times over the last 20 years, the crowd on domestic first class has definitely changed. It used to be mostly business people, passengers dressed on nice clothes, carrying very few items and they spent most of their time working on their laptops. If early in the morning they would order coffee or water and if end of the day maybe a beer or glass of wine. Fast forward to post pandemic, that has changed a lot. Now all you see are mostly leisure people, many ordering alcoholic drinks before take off very early in the morning and refilling their glasses all flight long, they bring loads of stuff and get most of the overhead bins, they are not well dressed and have no manners. It is night and day now and I scratch my head on how they can afford sitting there.
> I scratch my head on how they can afford sitting there.
Given how inexpensive and prominently advertised upgrades to F frequently are it doesn’t surprise me
How did you know he’s from Florida?
Did anyone actually ask or just assume because of where the flight was going?
And in the end who was actually harmed? Just like the country today, many bitch and cry but can’t show where there were actually “damaged”.
Seems like more fake outrage by those who think they are better than the average American because of their job or financial situation.
Nobody was harmed but it shows the decline of this country or the world in general. People used to have manners, used to behave and act nicely at least when in a public place. That guy does not own the plane and it is not appropriate to place your feet on the wall if you don’t own that place. That is the same behavior you see on airline lounges and why I applaud Delta for making it more difficult for people to access their lounges. Actually, they should make it even harder. I just did a quick weekend trip with my family after many months without flying and we went to two lounges and they were both a complete zoo. We got at both lounges at 5:30AM in different days and there was already a line outside of people waiting to get it. Yes, at 5:30AM the lounges were already full. When we were allowed in, we had to seat all in separate areas since there was no way we could sit together. People were loud, some having calls without headsets, people leaving bags all over the place and already drinking like crazy. I tell my kids airports are the best place for people watching but it has gotten way worse. It seems like the more airlines charge for tickets, the more people fly. It is absolutely crazy out there and I am so glad I reduced my flights by a lot.
@Dave: Why would you defend trailer trash slobs who act like animals?
No one was harmed, no one eats off the wall, I don’t get the big deal. I get it’s a flight related story but it’s not the worst thing, he had his shoes on. Show me bare feet and it’s a different story and I would agree it’s uncouth.
Far worse to me is people eating foul smelling foods on a plane which unfortunately I personally witnessed on a flight Saturday. Now that is something that affects others and is animalistic behavior. Along with a##holes who crop dust FC when walking by.
I think the issue is not whether his dirty sandals or his dirty feet are on the wall, it’s the fact that his legs are on the wall.
Imagine lacking any sense of decency or manners short of inflicting outright violence or harm to those proximate.
Show the fat slob’s face next time. Typical these days, the American pigs are out in full force, donning dirty T-Shirts, sandals and polyester shorts shielding their filthy underwear from touching the seats. Now go have a Starbucks and McDonalds fatso.
Pretty much looks like most of the people in any lounge in America these days. There they just put their feet on tables instead as they slop up their 4th overflowing plate of free tacos and pasta whilst blasting out videos on their phones for all to hear.
This fat pig monster is justification for allowing random acts of public assault.
No, not quite – but it’s a shame people are so disgusting.
Matthew, re: “Why would you defend trailer trash slobs who act like animals?”, because Douchebag Dave Edwards is defending himself, it’s obviously He/She/They/It in the photo. If by any remote possibility it’s not, it’s someone who is every bit as obese and classless and as much of a “trailer trash slob” as Douchebag Dave Edwards.
Douchebag Dave Edwards & Sch*tt Hsuan & Dirtbag Derek, proving with your every (too frequent) comments that your nicknames are absolutely accurate and completely deserved and that you have nothing better to do with your pathetic waste-of-oxygen lives than to post abhorrent and revolting comments here over and over again every single day. Thank you for confirming again that you and other MAGAs are stupid hateful racist cretins. Trolling or not, the extent and frequency of your comments are indicative of severe psychiatric and/or addiction problems. Your insults, undoubtedly projection, speak much more to your lack of character than to anyone you attack. You should crawl back under whatever rocks you crawled out from you SHPOSs.
I may be a dirt bag
But at least I’m not a commie pinko like you are
Bring it on
Dirtbag Derek, “bring it on” is usually communicated before, not after, an acrimonious interaction, you moron. But thanks for reading.
Another example of how trash comes in all Shapes Sizes and Colors.
Pregnant Bigfoot.
Yet another disgusting fat f*ck. He should go marry the Lyft rapper.
I also don’t understand what the big deal is. Who cares? Why is this a problem at all?
Are you one of those slobs who puts his feet up?
