An Instagram user shared a video of making sourdough bread on her way to Spain. She wanted to surprise her sister with a fresh loaf of bread, so the process was done thousands of feet above the ground.

Her video, viewed over 1.2 million times, did not please many social media users. A couple of them claimed to be flight attendants, who were far from impressed by the passenger’s efforts.

“I’m a flight attendant and I hate people like you," posted one user on Instagram.

“As a flight attendant I’m gonna say: Ewwwww. On the last flight, some unhygienic passenger clipped his toe nails on that table and another one puked on it. Needless to say that the armrest you’re touching, is where some dudes’ unwashed hands from the lavatory were as well. Another woman changed the baby’s diaper, since the bathroom wasn’t “sanitary" enough in her opinion. I’ve seen it all - believe me. Now there’s you, kneading and folding sourdough. Enjoy your germ-bread. That’s an airplane - not a bakery. Learn some manners, people…, Please," wrote another.

“Looks really cute but please don’t do it in planes, it’s a really closed place and a celiac could suffer an intoxication, the flour can easily “fly” and spread. I know there is HEPA in the plane but is not instantaneous, so please avoid to do it in closed public places if you can not want to ruin some days of someone’s holidays," posted another.

    And this is why I bring sanitizing wipes when I travel, and use them judiciously.

      Because of the danger that the tray has traces of sourdough?

        Because people are disgusting and none of the things you regularly touch in an airport or airplane gets sterilized.

          This is really what the 20 second hand wash is meant to address. Increase pH and organisms don’t grow well. Wash up hands every few hours and you’re set.

            Maybe you are, but I have a weakened immune system.

              I do feel like you succeeded in completely avoiding the point.

                Did you really have to follow me from one thread to another just because we disagreed?

                And no, you missed the point. People with disabilities and weakened immune systems count as much as anybody else. Fuck off and stop trying to troll me.

                  Follow you? I have no idea who the hell you are and neither do I care.

                    An obvious lie, but sure. As long as you go away, it’s all good.
