- A TikTok video has gone viral of an airline passenger with his feet stretched out during a flight
- When you look closer, you realize that the passenger actually has six toes
- The video has over eight million views and thousands of hilarious comments
While it can be tempting to take off your shoes and socks during a long-haul flight, it’s generally considered a gross violation of airline etiquette.
Plus, airplane floors are extremely dirty – and sometimes even covered in bodily fluids, so it really isn’t worth the risk.
And one traveler has angered fellow passengers by taking off his socks during a flight, as revealed in a viral TikTok video.
At first glance, the video looks like all the other clips from these incidents, but a closer look reveals that the passenger in question actually has six toes.
He has what appears to be a “double pinkie toe” that can be seen when the person who posted the videos zooms in closely, and commenters around the world are mystified.

The video has been viewed a staggering 8.1 million times and has garnered more than 14,000 comments, most of which poked fun at the unusual clip and reignited debate over whether it’s acceptable to go barefoot in public.
After zooming in on their fellow jetsetter’s foot, the camera pans to the window as the plane takes off.
One commenter quipped “I’m flying out of Torontoe,” while another added, “You know he doesn’t lack toe intolerance.”
The top comment with over 40,000 likes is simply “I’m telling you now…” with smiling emojis.
It references a video that went viral earlier this year of American Airlines passenger Tiffany Gomez behaving erratically on her flight, claiming she saw something that isn’t real: “I’m telling you now – that m*****f *** **behind that is NOT real’.
The commenter is essentially joking that the double toe is what she saw, to which another commenter replied, “Brilliant.” But yes, I would get off the plane for that’.
Another said, “You won. Here’s your trophy,” and a separate note reads, “This is what the plane lady was talking about.”
Someone else said they were “so focused on the hair” that they “almost missed the twins.”

Others wrote “unexpected item in the packing area” and “make a wish it’s just four leaf clovers”
As the joke continued, one viewer quipped that the passenger was “only crossing them for in-flight luck.”
Others wrote “unexpected item in the bag” and “make a wish it’s like four-leaf clovers.”
With a crying emoji, one said “No, but why did he let it air out like that” and another yelled, “Taking your shoes AND socks off is crazy.”
One commenter took pity on the man in the video, writing “the one time I take shoes off on a plane, it must hurt rubbing the top all the time, poor chap.”
Another agreed, adding, “Okay, to be honest, it’s probably so uncomfortable wearing shoes, but man… bring some slippers or something.” NO ONE should be dogs on an airplane.”
It is likely that the passenger has polydactyly, a birth defect that occurs when someone is born with extra fingers or toes
