I once had a f/c pax who spent the first half of the flight picking his nose and flicking the boogers in the aisle. That was so successful he decided to use the last half of the flight picking his teeth with the same finger. I was so grossed out, I was almost dry heaving in the aisle. Upon arrival in _ _ _, I asked the agent if she knew this passenger. She said, "Yes, he's one of our top EP's!"

One more story... I had 2 f/c paxs (both were PL or EP) on a late night flight who did not know each other but had plenty of wine. Long story short, the male pax in 6A decides to pleasure the female in 6B. She has her dress up to her waist and her feet up on the seat in front of her.
I happened to walk by and was so shocked I walked to coach to tell my crew. By the time we got back up to f/c to tell them to knock it off and get a motel in ONT, they were done.
The amazing thing was the man sitting across from them (very engrossed in his laptop work) never noticed!
I have a pretty good memory and have had the female on my flight 3 other times. She probably doesn't even remember what happened- but I do!

Sometimes you see things you just don't believe, I did a double take.
-- guy inserts index finger into his nose up to the first joint, digs vigorously, wipes finger on pants leg (his own pants leg thank god), reflects briefly on his progress in locating whatever he was looking for in there (missing car keys, perhaps), and repeats this process 7-8 times before he was satisfied his results.
Pilot announces we are landing at O'Hare, begins descent, and apparently he once again became anxious that without those missing car keys he couldn't get home, because he repeated that same process:

- Excavate to depth of one knuckle.
- Inspect fingertip carefully.
- Wipe on pants leg.
- Repeat
OMG

1. Many comments about use of chewing tobacco and spitting, etc. I thought "smokeless tobacco" was banned on airplanes, why didn't people report this to FA?
2. I don't know why so many people think clipping fingernails is disgusting.

Fixed it for ya
"Passengers who wear nylon/polyester/fully-synthetic socks that STINK like you wouldn't believe often take their shoes off when on flight. That's the worst for me."
I would giving giving them the stink eye whether they came from Cleveland or Chengdu. No need to drag any particular nation into this.
