Woman left horrified after discovering tickle on her leg during flight was man’s toe

A TikToker has been left 'flabbergasted' after a man's bare toe grazed her leg while on a flight.

Flights aren't majorly enjoyable at the best of times - stuck in a pressurised tube next to strangers, running the risk of falling asleep with your mouth gaping wide open or heaven forbid accidentally lolling your head onto the shoulder of whoever's next to you.

Then comes the inevitable screaming child, or toddler who's decided to practice their football skills on the back of your chair, or as one TikToker's made a new discovery of, the startling sight of a bare toe poking out beneath you and touching your leg.

Tivona - who goes by @teatinz on the platform - uploaded the footage on 23 June showing herself on a plane.

The caption reads: "I felt something tickle my leg."

The video then shows a foot poking out underneath the TikToker's seat, Tivona noting: "*They were cold*"

Tivona continues: "Do you know how far you have to reach your feet to TOUCH the person in front of you!!????"

The TikToker's facial expressions really say it all.

Social media users have flooded to the comments in similar horror to Tivona, quick to condemn the owner of the bare toes - the video having gone viral amassing over 20 million views.

One user said: "That’s gotta be a crime."

"That’s assault with a deadly weapon. Press charges. Immediately," another added.

A third commented: "He's trying to mate with you."

"Nah I would stop the flight," a fourth wrote.

The sight of the toes is bad enough, let alone the potential smell which may have come with them and the direct cheesy contact with Tivona's leg.

Other users chimed in with potential ways to ward the toes away.

"The way I would have stepped on them and pretended like I don’t feel crushing them toes lmao," a user wrote.

Another suggested: "Nah, you gotta spill some water, hot tea, something."

And a final went for a slightly more believable and less violent approach: "The way I would stomp on it so fast 'Sorry sir I thought it was a bug touching my leg!'"

Further on in the comments section, Tivona revealed she saw the culprit later on in her journey.

She revealed: "The worst part is I saw him later wearing SNEAKERS so he took off his shoes AND socks."
