Someone's bare foot crept up from the seat behind onto an airplane armrest. The weapon drawn by a U.S. country singer suffering from "foot phobia" was a can of spray.

According to the British outlet LADbible, U.S. country singer Jessie James Decker (38) shared a video on her Instagram at the end of last month revealing an incident of "foot terror" she experienced on a plane. The video sparked attention, surpassing 23,000 "likes."

In the video, a bare foot is planted squarely on Decker's seat armrest. Decker pinched her nose and wore a shocked expression before picking up a spray can and spraying the foot. The foot, doused in spray, hastily retreated, and Decker burst into stifled laughter.

According to LADbible, Decker has "foot phobia." It is a condition characterized by intense aversion and anxiety simply from seeing or touching feet, known in English as "podophobia." For Decker, it was the worst-case scenario. Along with the video, she wrote, "Before you criticize me… what would you have done?"

Rather than criticism, support poured in. The most resonant comment read, "If you're comfortable enough to put your dusty feet on someone else's armrest, I'd spray them too," garnering over 4,500 "likes." Humorous reactions treating the foot's owner as a "felon" also emerged, such as "Out the moment I see it. They should go to jail" and "That should be illegal."

Netizens even proposed "better ways of retaliation." A comment suggesting, "You should have sprayed while pretending to sneeze," received over 3,700 "likes." Responses continued with "She should have used a disinfecting wipe" and "If it were me, the drink I was holding would have been spilled on that foot." One netizen said, "Just kidding! If it were me, I would have done much worse," adding, "Well done for handling it so kindly."

Speculation also arose over who owned the foot. A comment stating, "That has to be Eric's foot" surpassed 1,400 "likes," while others hoped for a playful scenario, saying, "It must be her husband's foot. She wouldn't do that to a complete stranger." Decker's husband is Eric Decker, a former wide receiver who played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets in the National Football League (NFL). The identity of the foot's owner remains unknown.

The so-called "foot nuisance" of placing bare feet on the seat in front or beside one's own on an airplane is a frequent topic of debate overseas as well. LADbible also shared an anecdote from 2021, when a user on the online community Reddit complained that a passenger in the row behind was shoving their foot under their seat, and a commenter replied with a "revenge tip": "Don't just step on it; stand up while pressing your heel down on their toes."

Decker is active as a country singer and also gained recognition through the reality show "Eric & Jessie: Game On," which she appeared in with her husband. This video, too, elicited laughter from netizens with its pleasant twist of "spray retaliation."
