Exploring the world is amazing, but the physical act of traveling can be, well, not great. Being in transit can be stressful and uncomfortable, and when was the last time anyone slept well on a plane? But what really makes traveling so bad is people.
Dealing with tiny seats, delays and popping ears is already bad enough. When you add rude people and stinky bare feet, the experience can be downright traumatizing. Sometimes, the only thing you can do is laugh through the pain.
Shaming rude passengers does provide some comedic relief. These are the best passenger shaming memes. And they're hilariously horrifying.
