Video Advising People To Not Wear Shorts On Planes Goes Viral

In the video, the TikTok user explains why wearing shorts isn¡¯t the cleverest of ideas for travelling by air. He starts by mentioning "five things you should never do on an airplane" in his video. His first advice was to never touch the flush button in the toilet as it might not be the cleanest of surfaces. He instead guides people to use a tissue or napkin to push the button.

He says, ¡°Do not ever touch the flush button with your bare hands. It's honestly just super unsanitary and pretty gross, so when you flush, use a napkin or tissue that's in the lavatory.¡± He then advised people to stay hydrated and not to forget to drink enough water on the flight. The flight attendant says, ¡°You wanna have about 16oz for every flight you go on, so keep that in mind.¡±

Flight Attendant Also Tells People To Not Sleep On Airplane Windows

He also advises against sleeping on the plane's window, as it may not have been cleaned in a long time and has probably had numerous dirty fingerprints from people and children on the flight. With it, he instructed people to not shy away from consulting the flight attendants in case the passenger is not feeling well.

Lastly, his most unique advice that blew up on the internet was that wearing earrings on flights can be detrimental to the passenger. While we rarely focus on our clothes when we board flights and mostly throw on our most comfortable outfits together, the TikTok flight attendant says shorts are a no-go. Although during the summer, people might opt to wear sleek shorts, the user says, "you never know how clean it's gonna be," so wearing shorts can invite numerous germs and infections.

He says it's best to stick to full-length pants while travelling on an airplane.
