Flight attendant finds disgusting surprise under seat — and pleads with passengers not to do this: ‘Straight to jail'
If this slob's goal was to commit a freakishly foul offense at 30,000 feet — they absolutely nailed it. Going barefoot on an aircraft is an unhygienic no-no, long-condemned by flight attendants and frequent flyers alike. But going barefoot and cutting your toenails while cruising the clouds, leaving the waste on the carpet for the cleanup crew to discard, is an especially heinous crime that should be 'illegal,' says a cringing cabin crew member. 3 Leanna Coy, a Connecticut-based flight attendant, shared shocking images of the toenails clippings a disgusting passenger left behind after a recent flight. TikTok / @leannacoy 'Those are toenails,' Leanna Coy, an understandably skeeved-out air hostess, wrote in the closed-captions of an eye-popping clip, featuring visuals of the clippings and a 'trigger warning' for folks with weak stomachs. 'The passenger clipped their toenails mid-flight and left them,' Coy added in the vid, set to the TikTok-viral 'Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday' audio — a catchy jingle that's currently serving as the soundtrack to disastrous short-form snippets across social media. And hacking the excess off of one's feet in an airplane seat squarely fits the beat. Unfortunately, public toenail trimming is now en vogue among shameless travelers with penchants for grooming on the go. 3 Both in-flight staffers and avid air travelers have urged trippers against removing their shoes and socks on planes. – While some prefer performing DIY pedicures in the middle of an airport, others like taking a little off the top of their tootsies just after takeoff. Much like Coy — who's previously decried sky-high sins such as ordering decaffeinated coffee on an aircraft, and seat swapping — sickened spectators online agreed that in-flight toenail cutting should be considered unlawful. 'Straight to jail,' cried a repulsed commenter beneath the post. 3 Outraged virtual viewers flew to Coy's comments, insisting that the barefooted wrongdoer be punished. nadezhda1906 – 'No fly list,' another cheered, suggesting airlines revoke the footy offender's travel privileges. 'The poor people sitting next to them,' worried an equally nauseated onlooker, expressing concern for the perp's seat mates. 'What dirtbag did this?,' asked another, emphasizing their queasiness with the vomit emoji. But rather than finding the knucklehead's name of the flight manifesto and blasting it all over the internet, Coy simply responded, saying, 'Wasn't me!'

Passengers keep indulging in this nasty plane bathroom behavior — here's why airlines are afraid to call out the icky offenders
Airplane etiquette is going down the potty — but there's one particularly stinky behavior that airlines are hesitant to call out. A veteran flight attendant claims that carriers are declining to educate unfamiliar passengers on how to use Western-style toilets — over concerns they'll take offense. The confounding concession to cultural sensitivity means things can get pretty messy at 30,000 feet, according to Marcus Daniels, who retired in 2019 after working the friendly skies for over five years in Australia and the Middle East. 3 'All of us are trying to be accepting of all cultures,' said Daniels. 'However, there needs to be some kind of video or visual guide about using and keeping the toilets clean.' Yurii Zushchyk – 'Passengers will defecate on the floor and you just do your best to smile and not say anything,' the inflight insider told the Daily Mail. 'You get used to it after a while and can start mentally preparing yourself for those flights.' In fact, the crew member said he could recall dozens of stories of airplane 'accidents,' the lion's share of which occur in developing countries, where many aren't privy to the doo's and doo not do's of modern lavatory use. 'As cabin crew, you notice it happens on specific flights to specific destinations,' said Daniels. 'We'll chat and find other crew picked up on the trend too.' And while he declined to specify the routes where this issue is most common, he said it's 'not really a problem in first-world countries because we know how to use western toilets.' According to Mobility International USA, four billion people worldwide use squat pots, which require the goer to hunker down over a hole in the ground — and use a bucket or hose for heinie hygiene in lieu of TP. 3 Crew members have noticed the trend is concentrated in certain regions. – Meanwhile, a whopping 420 million of earth's inhabitants still defecate in the street, per a World Bank Blog from 2023. This can pose problems when nature calls high above certain parts of the world. 'On these routes, we're having to constantly check the toilets to make sure they're clean and the toilet rolls aren't stuffed down the bin,' lamented Daniels. 'On one flight I had a passenger who kept peeing on the floor. I tried to show her how to use the toilet, and she would nod and agree, then do it again.' 3 Billions of people still use squat toilets (pictured). zirong – He added that things got so unsanitary on one trip that he 'had to lock off the toilet for the rest of the flight.' Daniels chalked up the inability to master the game of thrones to a lack of 'education,' declaring, 'If they knew how to use the toilets, they would.' 'Most of the confused passengers don't speak English as their first language so we can't really explain how to use the toilet,' the former FA lamented. 'It would be great if there were visual guides showing how to use the toilet properly, rather than just guides for flushing.' Despite the abundance of inflight brownouts, this change likely isn't in the pipeline, per Daniels. 'Airlines are very particular about how they communicate with customers because they don't want to offend anyone,' the ex-crewmember claimed. 'All of us are trying to be accepting of all cultures. However, there needs to be some kind of video or visual guide about using and keeping the toilets clean.' He added, 'It would be a dream come true. I have friends who are still working these routes and, nine years later, it's still an issue.' A lack of bathroom etiquette isn't just revolting — a catastrophic trip to the lavatory can also jeopardize flights as well. In March, Air India implored passengers to use the lavatories for their intended purpose after passengers clogged airplane toilets with clothing, diverting an international flight. A so-called lavatory backup might seem trivial, but just one clogged toilet can prompt the pilots ground a flight due to the limited number of facilities in the air.

4 common food types can make you smell bad — here's what to avoid
Topics like 'old people smell' and 'Ozempic smell' have recently circulated on social media, sparking a renewed focus on how people's bodies react to and produce scents. Many foods (and not just garlic) can impact the way someone smells — but there are ways to mitigate the effects through dietary choices, according to experts. Advertisement 'Some foods impact body odor more than others,' New Jersey-based dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade told Fox News Digital. Research shows that body odor is influenced by each person's skin bacteria and how it breaks down sweat, according to the expert. Below are some of the most common foods that can impact one's scent. Fish 6 Foods can impact the way you smell, and experts say there are dietary choices you can make to combat this. – Advertisement We're all familiar with the 'fishy' smell of seafood, but it can also change the way people smell to others. In very rare cases, the body converts a seafood byproduct called choline into a fishy-smelling compound called trimethylamine, according to Cleveland Clinic. 6 The body converts seafood byproduct choline into a fishy-smelling compound called trimethylamine. Sea Wave – This compound travels throughout the body and is released through the breath and skin. Advertisement People with this affliction, called trimethylaminuria, may also produce a fishy odor after eating other foods, including beans, broccoli, cauliflower, peanuts and soy products. 'But this incredibly rare condition affects only a few hundred individuals, and most people will be able to eat fish without concern,' states Cleveland Clinic's website. Vegetables While vegetables are widely regarded as some of the healthiest food choices, they can cause an unexpected odor for some. 6 According to Cleveland Clinic, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts can cause body odor when they release sulfuric acid.

The scent is then intensified by sweat, breath and gas. Spices 'Some spicy foods are known to increase body odor due to their sulfur-containing compounds and specific metabolites,' Palinski-Wade told Fox News Digital. 'When they are released, they interact with skin bacteria, resulting in specific odors.' 6 'Some spicy foods are known to increase body odor due to their sulfur-containing compounds and specific metabolites,' dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade said. Angelina Zinovieva – Cleveland Clinic notes that spices like curry and cumin contain 'volatile compounds' that are absorbed by the bloodstream and released through the sweat glands, 'leading to a distinct odor.' Red meat Eating larger amounts of red meat can also impact body odor, according to Palinski-Wade. 6 Red meat's odorless proteins can mingle with skin bacteria, causing odor to intensify.

Foods to improve body odor Advertisement Not all people will experience the same food-related body scents, as genetic differences impact the type and intensity of odors that may come from eating certain foods, experts noted. 6 'You may be able to improve body odor by reducing sulfur-rich foods, cutting down on red meat or excessively spicy foods, and increasing your intake of water, fruits and vegetables,' Palinski-Wade said. Peruphotoart – Making certain changes to your diet can help to reduce or prevent body odor, according to Palinski-Wade. 'You may be able to improve body odor by reducing sulfur-rich foods, cutting down on red meat or excessively spicy foods, and increasing your intake of water, fruits and vegetables,' she advised. Advertisement Foods like apples, leafy greens, yogurt and green tea may help to neutralize odor-causing compounds and support beneficial gut bacteria, which can reduce unpleasant body odors, said Palinski-Wade. Beyond diet, one of the best ways to improve overall body odor is to bathe regularly, the above source stated. Using antibacterial soap and wearing breathable fabrics can also be effective. 'Staying well-hydrated and focusing on supporting metabolic health by improving quality sleep, reducing stress and staying active can all help to improve overall body odor,' Palinski-Wade added.

Gen Z student snubbed by classmates over ‘iconic' prom stunt: ‘Do kids even have a sense of humor?'
Her dream of making a splashy entrance was flushed down the drain — and that stinks. No one stopped and no one stared as Sarah, a creative coed, stepped out of a plastic porta potty, dressed to the nines in floor-length formal wear, hoping to impress her classmates with an outré display on prom night. 3 Absolutely no one made a big stink over a creative high schooler's porta potty prom entrance, sparking a debate over Gen Z's sense of humor. – Advertisement But rather than amused, the Gen Zers were totally unenthused about the blonde's bold bathroom moves, per trending footage of the unsuccessful stunt. 'And the crowd went mild,' teased a commenter beneath the clip, with over 3.6 million TikTok views, noting the sea of underwhelmed youngsters watching Sarah descend from her traveling throne — a toilet hut towed on the flatbed by her father, Nick. 'The whole school has a sense of humor failure,' barked another. Advertisement 'Do kids these days ever have a sense of humor?' questioned an equally stunned spectator, shaming Zoomers for lacking funny bones. 3 Sarah's dad, Nick, share the buzzy clip of his daughter's ill-received portable restroom escapade. majorosl66 – It's yet another black eye sustained by adolescents and 20-somethings of the day, who've already been labeled as 'easily offended' and 'lazy, entitled' losers. But, thankfully, a few members of the new school haven't completely lost their luster for laughter and lightheartedness. Advertisement Much like Sarah, some crafty, clever kids prefer thinking outside of the box when it comes to making a grand debut at prom. Rather than a limousine or luxury car, Lucas, a UK teen, pulled up to his senior year party in a body bag, while Abi Ricketts, a separate Brit, was carried into her school's big dance in a coffin. Not to be outdone by Gen Zs overseas, Sherman Bynum, now a graduate of Camas High School in Washington State, rented a World War II army vehicle, the M3A1 Stuart tank, to serve as his royal chariot during prom season 2023. Advertisement 'Live your life to the fullest,' said Bynum. 'Do whatever you want. That's what it's all about.' 3 Globally, a handful of Gen Zers are becoming more creative about making grand entrances at their swansong high school soirees. moodboard – Sarah seems to live by a similar motto. And virtual fans of her commode-to-go spectacle agree. 'This is iconic,' raved a cyber supporter. 'She has top-tier humour! This is too good!' another applauded, emphasizing their approval with a series of cheerful emojis. 'I love her confidence to do this when all her school looks like the most boring people! It's always better to be the one that stands out rather than the ones that frown on the ones that stand out,' added an admirer. 'Sarah is going to have a brilliant life,' echoed another. 'She's got a sense of humour, and understands all the prom, flashy car stuff is utter nonsense.'

Why sleeping on your back is the unhealthiest position — and the one exception when it's actually the best
Are you on the right side of history when it comes to your sleep position? How you sleep significantly impacts your health, affecting everything from breathing and digestion to spinal alignment and even wrinkle development. 5 Your sleep position affects your breathing, digestion, spinal alignment and even wrinkle development. – Advertisement People tend to sleep on their side, studies show. Lying on the back is the second most common position, with stomach sleeping a distant third. So, which are the best and worst sleep positions? The Post had snooze experts pick a side. The worst sleep position is … Advertisement 'Out of all sleeping positions, the worst one — backed by scientific evidence — would have to be sleeping on one's back,' Michael Gradisar, head of sleep science for Sleep Cycle, a smart alarm app and sleep tracker, told The Post. When you sleep on your back, gravity can pull your tongue and soft palate back into your throat. 5 Sleeping on your back may seem like the logical choice, but it comes with a bevy of downsides. weyo – This movement can narrow your airway, increasing the chances of the vibrations that cause snoring. Advertisement Even worse, the airway can collapse, leading to breathing pauses during sleep. That condition is known as sleep apnea. Because sleep apnea disrupts rest, it's been linked to irritability, mental health challenges, increased insulin resistance that paves the way for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Lying flat on your back also makes it easier for stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus, fueling heartburn. Advertisement 'The best sleeping position is the one that feels the most comfortable, such that you get the most sleep,' Gradisar said. 'If the most comfortable position happens to be on your back, then lesser quality sleep is better than very little sleep.' Still, it's not all bad on your back — in fact, many of us started sleeping in the supine position in infancy. 5 This is definitely not the best sleep position. Do not try at home! theartofphoto – The back sleep position is widely recognized as the safest way to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) because it minimizes the odds of airway obstruction. Sleeping on your back also promotes spinal alignment, relieves sinus buildup and prevents wrinkles and breakouts because there's less facial contact with the pillow. The best sleep position is … 'Sleeping on the stomach, or the prone position, may cause strain on the neck and back,' Dr. Boris Gilyadov, associate medical director of The Mount Sinai Integrative Sleep Center, told The Post. 'Usually, the better position to reduce snoring and possible sleep apnea is sleeping on the side (left or right),' added Gilyadov, an assistant professor of medicine (pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Advertisement 5 Sleeping on the stomach may cause strain on the neck and back. Vasiliy – Sleeping on your side, particularly the left side, has several benefits beyond your airways. Catching zzz's on your left side allows the stomach and pancreas to rest in a natural position, enabling proper digestion. Advertisement And when you lie on your left side, your stomach is positioned below your esophagus, making it harder for stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Sleeping on your left side can also help facilitate lymphatic drainage because the lymphatic system is dominant on the left side. A well-functioning lymphatic system is crucial for the performance of lymph nodes and the prevention of swelling. Plus, side sleeping can allow your spine to decompress and align properly, alleviating back pain and stiffness. Advertisement 5 Sleeping on your left side has many upsides, experts say. fizkes – Pregnant women are often encouraged to sleep on their left side. Sleeping on the back can put pressure on the inferior vena cava, reducing blood flow to the heart and baby. Sleeping on the left side helps maintain optimal blood flow and can minimize the risk of stillbirth. Advertisement There are some drawbacks, though, to side sleeping. This position concentrates pressure on the shoulder you sleep on, potentially leading to pain and discomfort. Plus, consistently putting one side of your face against the pillow can lead to wrinkles and breakouts. Experts recommend placing a supportive pillow under your head and neck and perhaps a pillow between your knees to help keep your hips and knees aligned and reduce stress on your lower back.
