There's a difference between "ratting them out", and just quietly saying "would you mind taking your feet out of the seat pocket?"

If it's a coworker I posit that it would be even easier since they should know better than us hoi polloi.

There has to be a prize for first place
Sitting in 13d on yyz to Phl, a mom in front of me places infant on floor and changes the stinkiest diaper in history right there in the aisle in row 12.
The expressions in the face of the other passengers and crew - priceless.

Did the passengers or crew do anything beyond looking shocked? While it doesn't solve the immediate problem informing the women she should use the lavatory to change her child might prevent her from doing the same on a future flight.

My sister did this on a plane once, but used the seat back tray instead. I wasn't with her, my step mom was and was absolutely horrified. My step mom suggested using the lav, and was met with "I've got kids and traveling with them is hard, so everyone can deal with it". While it is hard travelling with small children (I do it frequently), it is what you signed up for and does not give you carte blanche to act like you are the only person on the plane.

The Mrs. boarding AC405 (YUL-YYZ) this morning, and sees someone sitting in her seat (1C)... "Good morning. I'm sorry, that's my seat" The person in her seat growls at her "T'es serious?" French for: "Are you serious?" She answers. "Yes" He then grabs his stuff and moves over to his seat (1A) in a huff, giving her the stink-eye like she had the nerve to ask him to vacate her seat.
He never asked her if she minded switching. Just treated her like she was selfish for not finding another place to sit, since he chose her seat.....
