No one is able for this comedian's story about a man who took his jeans off on a flight

Are you comfortable enough, sir?

CATCHING A FLIGHT is stressful enough without your fellow passengers making it even more so. Please, people, never do this.

American actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani (who you might know from the HBO series Silicon Valley) was on a domestic flight in the US last week when he was confronted with a distressing sight.

Within 20 minutes of the plane leaving the ground, a passenger in a seat close by had taken off not just his shoes, but his jeans too, and insisted on sitting with his legs splayed across the dividing wall in front of him:

“This is right at the front of the plane,” Nanjiani said. “If you walked onto the plane, you would be greeted by this defiant fleshy V.” What an image.

When asked by a flight attendant if he could at least put his feet down so people could pass in front of him, the man greeted them with a “40 second stare down” before he complied.

After a few minutes though, he was back at it again:

Think he can’t get any worse? He got worse!

Nanjiani tweeted about the whole thing a couple of days after the flight (he must have had to wait for the shock to wear off) and said there was ‘no justice’ awaiting the man once the plane touched the ground.

“He adjusts his belt,” he tweeted. “And the monster blends into a crowd.”

These people walk among us. They could be a colleague. They could be a friend. The lesson we can glean from Pantsless Plane Man is this: Trust nobody.
