Passenger slammed as he takes "manspreading to ANOTHER LEVEL"

A frequent flyer has sparked outrage online after posting a video of one man's poor plane etiquette. 

Claire Zhu, 27, who has gained a following while documenting her travels with boyfriend Peter Ovendorf, 29, after quitting their nine-to-five in what they call their "corporate gap year", shared the video on TikTok. 

"Goodbye," she captioned the clip, with a text overlay that read: "The way this man took manspreading to ANOTHER LEVEL on my flight." 

At the start of the clip, Claire showed herself covering her mouth in shock, before panning over to the man sitting across from her, with his legs spread so wide that it crossed the aisle and reached her seat. 

His other foot was sitting so close to the passenger next to him, that even they could barely move. 

People flooded to the comments to express their anger. 

"I would lose my mind," wrote one person. 

"That isn't man spreading, that's literally splitting," another quipped. 

"Absolutely not," added another. 

"Bestie you got to step on his foot. This is the final straw," commented a fourth. 

A few others were concerned that his actions might be hazardous. 

"He will trip someone!" one wrote. 

"Not only across the aisle but made it into your floor space..." another added. 

One commenter even shared their own horrific experience with another passenger taking over their space. 

"A lady did this to me on a long haul flight except I felt something on my thigh AND IT WAS HER FOOT," they said.
