LONG haul flights are bad enough without rude passengers.

But one man took it to the next level on a domestic flight in the US, stripping off his jeans and spreading his legs for the duration of the trip.

Stuck in the same row was Kumail Nanjiani, an actor and comedian who is best known for his role in the Emmy-nominated series Silicon Valley.

Naturally, he tweeted the entire ordeal.

Tweet storm. I was on a plane a couple of days ago. A guy took off his jeans & lounged around in his boxers with his feet up on the wall. pic.twitter.com/CHcsWXnlNB

The passenger lounged on the plane in just boxer shorts and socks, leaning his legs up against the wall at the front of the section.

Nanjiani tweeted his legs were up for four hours before a flight attendant finally asked him to take them down, saying: “People are walking through here.”

The man stared down the flight attendant before obliging, but Nanjiani complained his seatmate’s good behaviour didn’t last long.

Nanjiani tweeted that the man was rude to staff the entire time.

“If he didn’t get the flight attendant’s attention, he would slam his fist on the armrest,” he told his 810,000 followers.

He claimed the man stood at the gate 30 minutes before boarding, and said: “I can’t wait to get in there get my pants off [sic].”

Manspreading with naked legs is about as bad as it gets on a flight, but the man took it one step further when he blatantly defied safety instructions.

Descending. No jeans. Right before landing, he stands in the aisle, in defiance of decency & lighted seatbelt signs. He puts on his jeans. pic.twitter.com/s2pa4draEJ

“He walks off the plane. No police is waiting for him. No justice. He adjusts his belt, and the monster blends into a crowd,” Nanjini tweeted.

“Best part: The movie he chose to watch through his hairy thigh ‘V’? Florence Foster Jenkins. About a woman who can’t READ THE ROOM. The end.”

P.S. Ppl think it's Virgin. It's not! His USB charger made disco lights the whole time, bathing his thighs in reds, blues, greens! Video. pic.twitter.com/kimqBuni6a
