Flight attendant issues warning against walking in socks on planes due to grim reason

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A flight attendant is advising passengers to keep their shoes on during flights for a particularly unsettling reason. Through a TikTok video, cabin crew member Destanie shared the grim advice, suggesting that those who believe a thick pair of socks may protect them while walking around an aircraft are gravely mistaken.Destanie cautioned: "A lot of people talk about this, but it's the fact that you should not have your shoes off walking around the airplane, and I've always known that airplane floors are gross but I though if you had like a nice pair of thick socks it would be fine to take off your shoes in an airplane."She continued, highlighting the unhygienic conditions: "But it's not.

These airplanes are not thoroughly clean, they're just basically like surface clean so these carpets are really disgusting. There's probably remnants of like pee or other fluids on there."The seasoned flight attendant cautioned that even the bathroom floors are not as clean as passengers might hope.

Instead of being mopped, she claimed that they're only given a simple wipe-down. Adding to the grim revelations, Destanie recounted witnessing urine on the floor of the lavatory, potentially from turbulence incidents mid-use.

Shockingly, she recollected an instance where an individual had smeared faeces throughout the restroom, even covering the walls.Disturbed by her claims, one TikToker responded: "Who on God's green earth is walking around the airplane in socks?".
