''What part of that seemed ok?''

When it comes to inconsiderate acts on an airplane, this one is up there with one of the worst we've heard.

A disturbing story has emerged on popular Instagram page, Passenger Shaming.

In which a parent made her toddler use the potty in the middle of isle while on an aircraft.

Alongside an image of the incident, the account explained: “Pro travel parenting tip: Use the lavatory for your child.

“BACKSTORY: Parent brings own potty seat on board, sets it in aisle mid flight to have child use (in front of everyone).

“When discovered by crew was advised she couldn’t do this and would need to utilise the unoccupied lavatory…

“And her reply… ‘I don’t give a s***!’”

“Disgusting.”

In just 24 hours, the post has racked up 8,600 likes and dozens of comments.

And unsurprisingly, the plane picture sparked uproar online.

Many blasted the parent for her lack of consideration and called the actions “disgusting”.

One commenter questioned: "Just don't understand people....like what part of that seemed ok?'' 

Another said: “That’s just gross and disgusting.

“Too bad they couldn’t kick the mum off mid flight. I hope she’s banned from all modes of public transport forever.”

As well as feeling disgusted on behalf of the surrounding plane passengers, many felt sorry for the child pictured.

One Instagram user wrote: “That poor child. Sad on so many levels.”

Another asked: “Aside from the fact that it’s not sanitary to do right there, has she no concerns for the privacy of her child?”

A third added: “Ew! So many creeps out there. Why would you put your kid out there like that?”
