"What will foreigners think if they see such ill manners? They will wonder about how low people's standards are."
This was the excuse an irritated traveller gave for throwing away a fellow traveller's shoes. The middle aged passenger pulled off his shoes and socks and laid down to nap, but this action did not seem to go down well with a teenager who sat nearby.
The anonymous 'vigilante' picked up the man's footwear and put them in a waste disposal unit in Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport in China.
According to the traveller - who recorded himself throwing the shoes away on Monday - the man taking off his shoes and socks demonstrated a lack of respect.
He said: "I saw a man lying on the seats with his shoes and socks off.
According to Shanghaiist, two airport employees had walked past the man with no shoes, but had not taken any action.
