During a recent EVA Air business-class flight originating from Taiwan on September 24th, a fellow passenger was left utterly horrified and disgusted by another traveler’s bizarre and unsanitary method of relieving an itchy scalp: vigorously scratching with the rim of a drinking glass. The shocking incident, captured on video, showed the man repeatedly dragging the glass across his head, prompting the witness seated behind him to exclaim, “This is disgusting. It’s a cup, not a massage comb,” and lament the loss of appetite for their meal due to the potential for seeing dandruff. This alarming display of public hygiene disregard, which etiquette expert Diane Gottsman deems “completely inappropriate” and “unappealing and somewhat alarming,” highlights a growing trend of passengers crossing social boundaries in confined airplane spaces, following other recent complaints about inconsiderate behavior like feet on armrests and window sills.
