Flying comes with a set of unspoken rules that everyone pretty much follows. You know, like wearing headphones, avoiding stinky foods and, of course, the middle seat always getting both armrests. But every so often, someone decides to break those unwritten laws and when they do, the person offended might just take to the internet to vent. Well, that's exactly what Michelle Williams did over the weekend, taking to social media to share one of those airplane faux pas moments.

On Sunday, April 6, Williams posted a photo of a passenger's bare foot casually resting near her armrest. "I PROMISE YOU BETTA GETCHO FOOT FROM ME!!!!" she wrote in the caption. "Y’all this is happening neowwwwwwww on my flight and I am crying real tears!!" She later added in the comments, "For those asking… YES, I’m sitting in the first-class cabin… a lot of AUDACITY resides in that booking class… OBVIOUSLY!! #seat3F the 'f' is for feet." The Destiny's Child member also joked, "Cue the song nasty work" by Yah Yah & Domo.

As for how she dealt with it? "I elbowed 'it!'" she said, adding, "Now I gotta take my coat to the cleaners!!!"

It’s safe to say everyone was in agreement this was a major no-no. Fellow Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland simply commented, "NAWWWWWW!!!!" While Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, chimed in with, "I’m so sorry you have to go through that!!!! Accidentally waste some ice cold Coke on him. I bet you he’ll move them then." TV personality Adrienne Bailon just dropped an "OMG."

Fans weren’t shy about sharing their reactions either. Some wrote things like, "I would have to call the police," while others said, "Girl take a good look at yourself…he got you going through HELL!" Some even offered their own advice. "Should’ve stuck it with a pin!" one person suggested. Another said, "I would have wasted a little ice water on it. Like, what is happening in first class? Sir, you already have extra leg room," while a third joked, "I would’ve painted those toenails bright blue when he woke up."

Despite the uproar, one user couldn’t help but compliment the “offender.” "I’m ngl, he has some of the most good-looking toes I’ve seen from a man," they wrote.

Williams made light of the situation, sharing a video later in which she recapped the incident, which she hilariously captioned, "UNDEFEETED!!!"
