A four-year-old airline passenger was caught on camera confronting a woman about her “stinky feet.” The incident took place while the boy and his father were returning to Houston from Orlando on May 16.

Darryl Small was taking a video of his son Rodney Small, who was having a first round-trip experience on a flight, when the boy noticed a bare foot on his armrest. Looking at the camera the boy says. "Some stinky feet behind me.”

"It's a lady!" the boy adds before turning back and asking the passenger "Why do you have your feet behind me?"

Speaking to ABC owned-and-operated television station KTRK-TV on Tuesday, Darryl said the woman was likely using her iPad and did not notice the boy sitting in front of her. The woman also apologized to them after he stopped recording the incident.

"I turned around so her feet could get off my seat," Rodney said.

Darryl said, "We weren't offended or anything, it was just his reaction."

"Knowing his spontaneous attitude, there's no telling what we're going to get from him so for me, like Snapchat and everything, I always have the camera rolling," Darryl said, adding that his son and the woman did not interact after that.

In a similar incident in May, a passenger was criticized after she took her shoes off and stuck her “smelly feet” on the chair. The photo of the woman posted on Instagram by a co-passenger showed the woman comfortably resting her feet on the chair in front of her. The photo also showed that the woman had covered her feet with a grey hat suggesting that she was hiding it from the flight attendants. The photo went viral.

"The grossness just never stops. So many slobs. Perhaps one day this person will discover the invention of socks,” wrote an Instagram user. "As an English second language speaker, I've always had problems understanding what head over heels means. Now I get it," wrote the other.
