Flight attendant details the ‘most heinous, evil and diabolical things’ that passengers can do on a plane
A flight attendant who has been in the industry for five years has revealed the most destructive things passengers have ever done on a plane.
Based in Dallas, Cher Killough regularly dishes out hilarious and insightful insights from her work to her nearly 20,000 TikTok followers.
Her latest topic? Tackling ‘the most gruesome, evil and devilish things you can do on the plane.’
First: Cher warned against storing a water bottle with any amount of liquid in the overhead bin.

As a final topic she covered, Cher delved into three ‘horrific’ things passengers are known to do during their air travel
“Or any kind of bottle that has liquid in it in the trash,” she clarified.
‘I think it’s tempting to do this. If it’s in the outside pocket of your backpack, you can easily throw it in.
‘But every time, as soon as we take off, that water bottle will, without exception, leak all the way into the bin.
“Not only does that soak everyone’s bags, but the water always picks one person, and it will follow a stream and end up completely out of the bin onto one person.”
Second, board the plane if you feel unwell, especially if the symptoms affect digestion.
“I see it all the time when someone comes on board knowing they’re not feeling well,” she said, adding that standard “motion sickness” wasn’t what she was talking about.
“And as soon as we get to altitude, they feel so much worse and they start vomiting uncontrollably or other things come out of them uncontrollably.”
Once, a man who was clearly already sick when he got on the plane threw up in the worst possible place.
She targeted passengers who put bottles of liquid in the overhead bin, and certain men with poor “aim” who would try to use the bathroom during turbulence.
Additionally, Cher advocated postponing a trip if you’ve gotten sick, especially if there’s something affecting your digestive system
“A guy came up to the back, he leaned over the service truck and vomited on the service truck,” Cher recalls.
“He flew knowing he was sick before – and now no one gets to eat or drink during the flight because it’s covered in a man’s vomit,” she described one particularly disgusting ordeal.
‘We are here to take care of you when you are sick. But for your safety, well-being, and the comfort of everyone around you and on the flight (and your flight attendants), it is a better idea if you choose to take a later flight when you are feeling better.”
The third and final thing Cher noted was specifically about men and their bathroom habits.
“The last bad thing you can do as a man is go to the bathroom during turbulence,” she explained.
“First of all, it’s not safe, but I’m not even talking about that.”
“I don’t trust your aim on a normal day — and I really don’t trust your aim when the plane is rocking back and forth,” she explained, referring to how men urinate.
“And this is why I say the rolls of toilet paper are the most disgusting thing on the plane,” she added, creating a disturbing picture of why apparently unused toilet paper appears to have wet spots.
Of the dozens of comments on Cher’s video, many pointed out that the airlines should solve the solutions to prevent some of these problems themselves.

“They need to expand the back pocket of the seat enough to fit a water bottle.” 40 oz size,” someone argued.
Many specifically disagreed with Cher’s point about not boarding a plane if you get sick – with many bringing up that they don’t want to lose out on the cost of the flight.
‘2 is 100% owned by the airline. “If I lose the full value of my ticket when I’m sick, I’m going to fly anyway,” one person complained.
“Some people can’t reschedule a flight etc,” echoed a second.
“I came back from Disneyland and got sick before I left. I was 18 and couldn’t afford to reschedule my trip, but I wish I could. I felt so miserable,” a third recalled.
On the third point, many took Cher’s warning about the unsanitary toilet paper situation to heart.
“Next time I fly I will definitely pack my own TP (toilet paper),” one person wrote.
‘Toilet paper roll! I didn’t think of that!’, another shocked person stated.
