FULL TITLE: Adult diapers, dripping breast milk and ped eggs: Flight attendants reveal the nasty secrets of the grossest passengers at 30,000 feet
Flight attendant Sara Keagle is pulling back the hatch on the grossest behaviors of passengers aboard commercial flights.
From leaving behind adult diapers, to letting breast milk leak down from over-head bins and using ped eggs to file down foot calluses - Keagle revealed that working at 30,000 feet isn't nearly as glamorous as it seems.
Keagle, who has two decades of experience in the air, reached out to her vast network of fellow flight attendants to find the most disgusting stories of bad in-flight etiquette.
Keagle writes the blog the Flying Pinto and revealed the nasty passenger behavior in the Huffington Post.
One flight attendant recalled a flight in which a woman boarded the plane and the promptly pulled out both of her breasts and began pumping her breasts into a bottle.
The woman proceeded to pump her breasts with both of them exposed during board, taxi, take off and the cruise - on a full flight.

I’ll never fly again except in an emergency and I don’t see one coming. Between TSA, general discomfort of the planes and the pigs described in this article...I’ll drive.
I for one applaud the in-flight entertainment and support the sister! Actually, she was probably making a protest, not being able to carry bottled breast milk through security without a major hassle. Instead, she chose the only "container" possible that could sail through security. She then dealt with the fullness the only way she could. If she was discreet about it, there would be no protest. I'm wondering how she got the pump through security.
I hear they retaliate on bad passengers by doing something called “crop dusting” ......
“Actually, she was probably making a protest, not being able to carry bottled breast milk through security without a major hassle. “
I figured that woman was making a protest, never considered that idea.
One woman was kicked off the plane for breastfeeding her baby as a result an “occupy” of breastfeeding moms showed up at the airport in protest. I agree with the mom. Breastfeeding is natural and if they can’t carry it in a bottle past the TSA then the women do it the old fashion way.
These stories may add another hour or so. To be honest, I don't have experiences like these often, but I know bad things are happening in that small space of an airplane.
Neither is pumping out septic systems.
So is having a bowel movement.
This is not an optimal form of retaliation since "crop dusting" leaves a lot of collateral damage.
I can see and talk to anybody I want on Skype....
From the first time I encountered "flight attendants" to the current time, I always thought of them as waitresses on a winged bus.
LOL the “human cattle car”
But as an oldster, I can remember airline travel in the 60s, exclusive but pricey. FAs were definitely genetically superior back then.
You said “...breastfeding is natural...”
So is having a bowel movement.

First of all that is just gross. Feeding a baby is not the same as going to the bathroom. They were put there to feed babies and not as men’s sex toys.
Don’t say feed them a bottle either. Baby formula is just a money making scam by companies and does not contain the nutrients of breast milk.
And they make provision for that on planes.
Hope you never want to go very far or to places like Bermuda (vastly overrated) or Hawaii (stop in the Walmart to see the welfare culture in full bloom) or Iceland (actually pretty nice - but mighty pricy)
I’ve flown United back and forth across the country several times over the last year or so and have not been aware of any problems.
I always sit by a window and still enjoy just being in the air.
Flew home on a fully packed flight from Hong Kong at Chinese New Year...this woman got under the seats in the middle aisle and slept.
There was so much turbulence that people were sick, and the nazi flight attendant couldn’t be made to understand that our newly adopted son was unable to understand her English screeching commands.
What do breasts and toy trains have in common?
They're meant for kids, but their dads always want to play with them.
When I was a kid flying was a big deal.One got dressed up in their Sunday best to get on an airplane.Today the only difference I can see between Delta (actually,*any* of the many airlines I’ve flown) and Greyhound is that with Delta one must be X-rayed before traveling.
I knew that joke was coming....Only because this is FR.
