Travel nightmares – smelly feet on a plane, but would you complain to the offending passenger?

Now next up... this is something that really, really annoys Stephen... Have you ever been on a plane, train or bus journey, and the passenger behind you is doing your head in? Talking loudly, or playing music through those dopey headphones? One woman has written an open letter to what might be the most annoying airline passenger ever. Lau Munyee was on a flight from Sydney to Singapore. She had hoped to sleep, but the passenger behind had other ideas - kicking her chair, chatting loudly and munching down snacks. To make things worse, the passenger then took her shoes off to reveal a "putrid smell of death and decay". It got too much for Lau so she wrote the letter to the passenger on a sick bag of all things! What would you have done in Lau's seat? Would you have spoken up, or would you have sat and said nothing?
