WATCH: Young flyer confronts smelly foot on his armrest Posted on 14 June 2019 Tags:passenger, Travel etiquette, video A young boy rocketed to fame after a video showing him confronting a fellow United Airlines passenger on the plane who put her bare and ‘stinky’ foot on his armrest was posted on Facebook by his dad. The woman was seated in the row behind Rodney Small, who was on his first ever return trip on an aeroplane. Rodney was travelling back home to Texas with his dad Darryl Small. The two had been visiting Disney World in Florida.

Darryl filmed his son’s hilarious reaction between chuckles. He later shared the video to Facebook, and apologised again in the post to the unknown woman. He said that the woman did apologise and removed her feet from the armrest.

The original Facebook post received more than 400 comments and the young flyer has since been interviewed on American news channels, gotten his own Instagram account (which has over 2,000 followers) and will soon be launching a merchandise range.
