Yoga: United Passenger Turns Off Over-Seat Light with Toes
I've seen this photo being shared on Twitter, but I don't think that it's been posted here and my searches haven't turned up anything.
(Mods, if I'm wrong, please merge/delete. My apologies.)



A disgusted UA FA Tweeted this photo of a very flexible passenger adjusting her (?) overhead light with her toes.

Perfect fit for a United Hall of Shame?

This is what happens when they give out TODs like candy to kettles.

I really hate when people put their feet where they don't belong. On the wall, on the video monitors, on the lights. Disgusting. You have to wonder if they do that at home.

You have to be flexible to fly United these days.

(Kind of reminds me of the gymnast on the bus in Smoke Signals.)

OTOH, I thought there was some rule against taking pictures of employees, passengers, and airline equipment.

Was the FA disgusted because they used their feet, or was the FA disgusted because they rang the call button?

No, the FA was disgusted when she squeezed the lime in her G+T with her toes.

Hey!
This is the same chick (3B), a few months ago) that had her leg fully extended between our seats (2A & 2B) and stirred my G&T with her big toe (everything ceptin' the last part is true). Her foot was about 1/2 inch from our drinks on the center divider thingie.

Well, with the leg room you get in 1A, you're legs are already up on the wall.

I don't mind women who do yoga and are flexible. Did they show a picture of what she looked like?

It's a stretch to call that yoga. But I'll hand it to her for the dexterity.
