Swiping An Airplane's Touchscreen With Your Feet Is About As Savage As It Gets
Welp I have seen enough. Airplanes officially need to have Ejector buttons that allows the flight attendants to shoot any unruly passengers out of the plane when they pull a stunt like this. Swipe a screen with your bare feet? Ejector Button. Start screaming at people on the plane? Ejector Button. Get sick midflight to the point an emergency landing at a different airport is necessary? Ejector Button. Those passengers will then gracefully soar back to the Earth in their chair with the assistance of a parachute they will be responsible paying the airline for once they land in whatever part of the world they were tossed from. And if they end up in some random uninhabited part of the world or an ocean, too bad. Don’t be an asshole at 30,000 feet.
We already turn a blind eye to how gross flying in a plane can be because they are so necessary to get somewhere fast. From sharing seats and those seat pockets used by countless people every single day to breathing in the recycled air/farts in that overcrowded tin can. But you shouldn’t have to worry that the person before you was browsing for flicks with their corn-filled, calloused feet. The Wright brothers did not invent the feat of flight to let some lazy asshole use their feet on a TV that will be used by hundreds of other people each year. Sure the mere sight of a touchscreen television would make Orville and Wilbur’s head explode. But the point remains. Don’t be an asshole.
Sidenote: The only acceptable reason for this tomfoolery is that this person is somehow paralyzed from the waist-up and not just a fucking heathen. If that’s the case, I take back the Ejector button punishment and the lazy asshole insult. However, that touchscreen needs to be wiped down with some serious commercial grade Purell once everyone leaves the plane and this dude should have to wear some touchscreen capable socks.
