Public Horrified Over Woman Sleeping on Plane Floor

A photo that shows a woman sleeping on a dirty cabin floor while her male companion rests in relative comfort on a set of seats has gone viral. While some members of the public have decried the man’s lack of chivalry, other users are more concerned over what’s been spilled on the plane’s carpet.
A photo of a female passenger sleeping on the floor a plane cabin has gone viral, with many social media users openly shaming the woman for her choice of bed, The Daily Mail reports. The woman was shown traveling with a male companion, who is seen to be resting across three seats.
The picture, which was shared on the Passenger Shaming Instagram page, garnered a host of comments from members of the public. Some criticized the male traveler for not sharing his bank of seats with his companion. “Someone does not know the definition of chivalrous if that is the guy on the seat,” one member of the public said.
But still, others were more concerned about the floor on which the female passenger was sleeping.
One user said, “Just think her face is on the floor where people have been putting their feet and dirty diapers,” while a second user added, “I’ve seen men urinating on the floor too, so there’s that. And yes, that’s plural; I’m not even a flight attendant.”
Some users, however, defended the couple’s choice of sleeping arrangements, with one saying, “Been there, done that…only with a blanket though. I’m impressed with the amount of leg room on this flight more than anything.”

People don't remember what it was like flying in the 1970's where this was a lot more common, at least on Asian and South American carriers. I remember being on an Air India flight, it was a 707 and an overnight long-haul and at night after dinner service people would just lay down a sheet they bought with them on to the alley-way and plonked themselves down and went to sleep, as well as on the footwells on the seats. Going to the bathroom was like an obstacle course drying to step over all the sleeping bodies. None of the aircrew said anything, it was as if this was totally normal. From what I understand, back in those days this kind of thing was quite common.
I wouldn't sleep on the floor, but why be horrified if someone else choses to? Why should we be disturbed that some people are taking their comfort into their own hands? Airlines decrease passenger space and comfort all the while fleecing us with ever higher fares. Be outraged at them, not passengers trying to cope.
its an Emergency Exit row which explains the legroom
Much ado about nothing. Live and let live.
Why would I be horrified if a stranger did something I would not do? Seems a little sensationalized.
