Is this the worst person to be stuck beside on a flight?

Lizzie Thompson got more than she bargained for when she booked a seat with extra legroom for her flight.
She was waiting for takeoff on an Air France aeroplane when the man on a seat on the opposite side of the aisle decided to get more comfortable .... by stripping down to his boxers and taking off his socks.
Lizzie tweeted the whole uncomfortable experience.

However, the situation went from bad to worse.
Another passenger boarded with a ukulele and the fella in his boxers asked him to sit next to him to make some music. Sound.
When she tried to alert the flight attendants about the whole situation, they just shrugged at her suggestion to ask the guy to put his pants back on.
Update @AirFranceFR - alerted the flight attendant. He offered to move me (which would mean losing my bulkhead legroom) but just shrugged when I suggested he ask the man to put his pants back on.

The best part though? When the fella in his boxers got cold, he put a puffy jacket on but stayed pants-less. As you do.
Just landed. 2 hours in he stood up and took 4 mini bottles of wine from the cart. Then he fell asleep. Then 6 hours in he got cold so PUT ON HIS PUFFY JACKET pic.twitter.com/wNFq9L2bkH

She added:
"Finally, his pants went back on. Good news: nothing bonds a group of passengers like a man half naked in your section".
"Shout out to the flight attendant who slipped me extra wine and did keep checking in to make sure I was good".
What. A. Nightmare.
