A Spirit Airlines flight attendant revealed the unique way she could tell if a flier is “sweet,” “chugged two to three beers”, or if they showered before a flight — just by seeing what shoes they wear.
“Here’s what I’m assuming about you based on the shoes that you’re wearing on the plane coming from a five-year flight attendant,” Cheryl Killough said in a viral TikTok clip in March, which has generated one million views.
As a pair of white New Balance sneakers appears, Killough matched them with a guy who has “probably not flown in eight years, but is gonna be the sweetest man I’ve ever met in my life.”
Going down the line, Killough drew a parallel with a pair of slip-on shoes to a beer-chugging passenger.
“I know exactly who you voted for, and there’s a huge chance you already chugged two to three beers in the airport,” she joked.
Killough even took aim at the Crocs community, saying a person choosing to wear the popular footwear, a casual shoe with holes, most likely “did not shower” before getting on board.
“You did not shower before this flight, and your sweatpants probably have one stain on them,” she goes.
Viewers were left in a frenzy over the video, forcing the five-year flight attendant to make a series of videos dedicated to matching personalities with shoes worn by travelers.
In one of the add-on videos, Killough describes a person wearing brown-colored fisherman sandals as a mother of six who is the “epitome of hardcore.”
“She will line you up with her six kids and will chew you out the same way she does each of them. She is not afraid,” Killough emphatically said.
Some travelers believed Killough preached so much truth to what she was saying, they felt “self-conscious” about their shoe choices moving forward.
“I have never been self-conscious about anything but this somehow makes me nervous to fly,” one person commented.
“Damn…my crocs,” one replier jokingly let out in embarrassment.
More chaos erupted in the comment section in response to Killough’s shot at the Crocs community, with some growing defensive.
“No! I wear crocs because it’s easier to get through TSA and they are comfy for lots of walking,” a Crocs wearer snapped back.
“I wear Crocs 95% of the time… I would never fly without being freshly showered and in totally clean clothes !,” another defensive commenter said.
