I highlighted the key part of the title in red, and my conclusion is that while being overweight may be disgusting to some, it is not an act in and of itself.

Photographic evidence of aggressively “digging for buried treasure” in one’s nose, clipping one’s nails unfettered in terms of their final course of flight once emancipated from their host fingers or toes, or dressing down to expose one’s undergarments for all the world to see aboard aircraft while in flight are all on topic for this discussion — not about photographing and critiquing fellow passengers about their height, weight or other subjective observations in general.
Well put! Plus, you could go one step farther and highlight the "by DELTA AIR LINES passengers" part.

I don't think he stripped down, but to be honest I wasn't looking too carefully nor cared to. I don't want to know.

We should start adding some pictures of the ol' flab-hanging-into-seatmate's-space phenomena to this thread as well. I once had a woman literally drape a roll of her skin over the armrest between us while she munched away on a slice of pizza pre-takeoff without making an attempt to apologize nor even acknowledge. I had to rub against it for two hours. As disgusting as anything else... wish I had a pic.

Baring one's feet isn't obscene, but it demonstrates a certain lack of decorum. We weren't on a beach, we were on an airplane.

The lady who slapped her flab over my armrest and the one with the obnoxious behind both *chose* to be unattractive and offensive by overeating and then not purchasing a second seat, as the rules say they should. Similarly, the people with smelly feet chose to be unattractive and offensive by taking their shoes off and sticking their feet on headrests and tray tables. No one is making of people who are disgusting because of hardships out of their control. Let's stay on topic and keep sharing photos and stories of disgusting pax who lack regard for their fellow passengers.

On that note, why are there no nose-picking pictures in this thread? People on planes often experience that same phenomena that happens in cars, where they somehow perceive they can't be seen as they jam their finger way up there and go for the gold.

I see your point about flab overflowing your armrest. That would be offensive to anyone. I don't agree with equating a neatly dressed older lady with a large behind in polyester pants with obnoxious bare feet on headrests and tray tables. That was a very rude photo of an otherwise dignified person minding her own business. Just a pound or three or five weight gain per year that occurs so naturally without even overeating after 40 really adds up.

+1. As long as she is minding her own business and doesn't knock you out with that thang as she is walking by, Her picture does not belong here....

If you have a photo of that, and putting it anywhere on the plane, that would count! IMO that is.

After carefully reviewing input from FlyerTalk members, the Delta SkyMiles forum moderators agreed to remove a photograph posted to this discussion — as well as replies associated with the photograph in question — as the result of an extensive discussion amongst us before agreeing on the appropriate moderator action.

To those FlyerTalk members who specifically asked for that photograph to be deleted, we thank you for your patience.

Regards,

we can officially close this thread as this was just absurd. I mean come on dude! It was hard enough getting a photo of your legs from the next seat let alone sitting next to that situation all flight.

Never understood shorts on a plane. We get it's hot out, but not in the airport nor airplane-especially this time of year.

First class passenger in row 1, cd side. He alighted the airplane, and he headed to the bathroom. Uses urinal and then immediately leaves. No stop to even rinse his hands, let alone wash them.

The best part, he's got his diamond cow bell tag proudly displayed on his roller along with ...... Wait for it ...... His yellow flyer talk tag.
