Passenger's bizarre use of drinking glass on flight leaves travelers horrified

A business-class passenger left fellow travelers aghast by using a drinking glass to vigorously scratch his scalp while he was seated in the middle of the flight. 

The man apparently decided that the best way to soothe an itchy head was to vigorously massage his scalp using the rim of a drinking glass.

Watching the traveler drag the rim of the upside-down cup through his hair repeatedly and all across his scalp made the witness feel the premium cabin experience had taken a drastic and unexpected turn.

"This is disgusting. It's a cup, not a massage comb," the appalled witness complained.

The flight landed safely, NewsFlare reported.  

"Any time you see someone scratching themselves with an object, or even scratching themselves with their fingers in a public area - it's unappealing and somewhat alarming," she added.

In March 2026, a passenger was slammed for putting feet up on a window.

"First time experiencing the feet in my face in five years. Travel monthly. In first class, and this lady put her feet on my arm rest. I shoved them off."

The writer continued, "And five minutes later, she has them up on her window. At least she has socks on. But come on, people! It's a 4.5 hour flight."
