Have you ever been on a plane where you’ve had the urge to call out a fellow passenger for unruly behavior? One Reddit user has and posted a photo of the unsociable conduct.

In the picture, the unnamed passenger can be seen reading a book in a seat next to a tray of half-eaten food placed in the aisle with trash littered around and under his seat. It is unknown whether the tray and trash belong to that passenger.

As of Nov. 15, the photo had garnered over 34,000 upvotes on Reddit and nearly 5,000 likes on Instagram.

This will certainly serve as a reminder for people to be mindful of their behavior in public places.
