Anonymous flight attendants have revealed some of the worst passengers they have encountered on their journeys around the world in a new Reddit thread.
More than 700 tales of disgusting and hilarious incidents - which include arrests before take-off, people going to the toilet in the aisle and requests to cut the engines so passengers can 'get some sleep' - flooded onto the website when the post started three days ago.

Answering the question 'who are the worst passengers you've had on your flights?' on Reddit, cabin crew claimed that drunk flyers are by far the most challenging passengers to share a flight with.
And crew noted that on 'every other flight there is one bad passenger unless it is a Las Vegas flight or Kingston, Jamaica flight on which there are lots and lots of bad passengers'.
One user, PlaneShenaniganz, said that while working on an aircraft an intoxicated passenger assaulted another flight attendant when she refused to serve him alcohol. He later reveals that the plane was diverted and the man was arrested.
The online poster added that the drunk passenger's bag was not removed from the plane and that he is now 'looking at a big fine'.
Another user, bewwzerton, recalled their flight from Las Vegas to Seattle. They revealed that one blonde-haired, intoxicated woman boarded the plane without shoes and ended up being arrested after holding up take-off because attendants didn't have a blanket for her.
Poster, StuTim, said that he works on smaller regional planes and he was once faced with an angry overweight passenger who didn't want to sit next to a man of the same size.
One traveller, DCMook, said: 'I'm not a flight attendant, but I was flying a red eye first class from Dubai to New York. I'm sitting there on my phone, and I hear some guy say, "Excuse me, could you ask the pilot to turn off the left engine, so my son can get some sleep?"
Despite telling the man several times that he would not be able to move seats, he continued to act irrationally and lean over his arm rest and into the aisle. However, after a few hours of being polite the anonymous poster revealed he became restless and ended up taking the matter into his own hands.
He said: 'I made sure I pushed my side of the cart as close to him as possible. After having to say excuse me four to five times and him making a scene, embarrassing the guy next to him, I stopped saying it and just walked into him every time.
'Things calmed down but he still wouldn't sit right in his seat, he wanted to make a point. So I only did trash runs when it looked like he was about to fall asleep.'
Another story included that of a woman who spilt a bottle of water down herself and demanded five vodkas and 10 blankets as compensation. After being told no the angry passenger decided to 'stomp up to the cockpit' and shout that an air hostess had punched her.

The user added: 'Three days later this same woman tried to board a plane in Vegas and what do you know, four of us that were working the original flight are now working this flight and recognise her.
'She was kicked off immediately for disturbance to flight crew and at that point her ticket was cancelled automatically and she lost her money.'
Other incidents include a 'swearing chav' slapping the backside of a flight attendant who wouldn't give him whisky, a passenger who 'dropped their trousers' in the aisle and went to the toilet and a passenger who gave a crew member a 'warm nappy' to dispose of.
An anonymous flight attendant said: 'I once had a passenger take off his shoes, put his dirty feet on the seat and clip all of his toenails. It was rude, there were toenails flying everywhere. He also left a nice pile of his hacked off heel skin on the seat for someone else to deal with.'
One traveller, DCMook, who stated that they were not cabin crew but had a story to share, said: I was flying a red eye first class from Dubai to New York. I'm sitting there on my phone, and I hear some guy say, "Excuse me, could you ask the pilot to turn off the left engine, so my son can get some sleep?"'.
