Passenger Shaming (passengershaming)
I usually only feature accounts with beautiful travel photography, so this is a change. Passenger Shaming is an Instagram account that you don’t want to end up on. Almost everyone featured—all airline passengers—either forgot their manners at home or just lives in their own little world. Either way, I think you’ll find Passenger Shaming entertaining and horrifying at the same time—at least I did. The account was created by Shawn Kathleen, who runs rantsofasassystew.com and passengershaming.com. It has over 300,000 followers and Rolling Stone has listed it as number 20 in its “100 Best Instagram Accounts.”
Passenger Shaming used to be entertaining. They went off the rails last year when they started getting so much attention. Now they seem to just be mean spirited and promote the concept that passengers should just get on the plane, sit down, shut up and enjoy the service regardless of how good or bad it is.
