“So yeah, this BS, zero self-awareness nonsense is happening… again…” the moderator of the account wrote in a caption, adding that the video was submitted by professional wakeboarder Dylan Miller.

“If I catch someone doing this I’m punching,” one person wrote.

“Holy smokes this is gross. His feet stank just spewing all over the passengers around him,” added another. “Yikes.”

One grossed-out woman noted that this person was also “palming the bottom of their shoe” during the drying process.

“At least it wasn’t underwear,” someone else added, perhaps referring to a similar underwear-drying debacle that made headlines in early 2018.
