TORONTO — Everyone has a story to tell about a bad passenger they’ve sat next to while on a flight. Now, thanks to a wildly popular Instagram account, these passengers are being called out – and publicly shamed – for their bad behaviour.

Passenger Shaming, which according to its page was ranked #20 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s Best Instagram Accounts, was created by Shawn Kathleen, a former flight attendant, and has close to 360,000 followers. A total of 368 posts show various passengers caught in the act of rude, improper or downright outrageous behaviour.
