Fitness stars call out 'absolute worst' passenger habit on planes: 'I get very mad'
Let's be honest, there are a lot of things that people do on planes that can be pretty annoying.
But Aussie fitness star Steph Claire Smith has called out the one thing some people do that she thinks is the "absolute worst" while discussing plane etiquette with her Keep it Cleaner co-founder Laura Henshaw on their podcast, Kicpod.
"There is one thing that people do on the aeroplane that is the absolute worst," Smith said. "And the first thing everyone does is stand up."

Steph Claire Smith was discussing plane etiquette with Laura Henshaw on Kicpod. Instagram
"I'm sorry but if you stand up and you realise everyone else is just standing there and the lines are going nowhere for 15 minutes, sit back down."
Laura joked the act "triggers" her, adding, "this is where I get very mad and there's these poor older people trying to get their stuff.
"Some people like to sit there and that's fine, but you just need to wait for the people in front of you to go."

Smith shared footage of the discussion on her Instagram account, writing in the caption: "You're either the person who stands as soon as the plane lands, or the person who sits and waits and wonders why the heck people are standing. Who are you?"

In the comments many of her followers agreed the habit was definitely frustrating.
"I definitely sit and wait; there's no rush," one person commented.
"Ooooh this is my pet hate as well… I've never understood it. Just sit down," another agreed.

Others however offered explanations as to why standing straight away was necessary.
"I get it, I really do, but after a long a-- flight, sometimes your body just wants to stand up and stretch and not be seated. Truly," one person wrote.
"As someone who travels economy and is 6'2" the first thing I want to do is stand up so my knees stop hurting. It's ok for you shorter people," another said.
While a third wrote: "I stand but only to wait standing because my legs need the stretch after a flight, didn't realise it would trigger so many!"
