Next time you're heading on holiday, make sure you've got your ears pricked up when the flight attendants walk past.

Because according to this American Airlines employee, they 'trash talk' passengers right in front of their faces - but people are too bemused to even pick up on it.

We've all been sat next to some unfortunate characters on a journey through the skies before, so you can only imagine the frustration flight attendants feel while dealing with numerous nuisances on a plane.

Whether they're simply bad mannered and need a refresher in plane etiquette or they have been driving cabin crew insane with their inappropriate conduct, it's not fun for anyone to deal with.

But unfortunately for airline staff, they have to bite their tongue a lot of the time - even though their probably internally calling you every name under the sun and wishing your chair had an eject button.

However, Josh Prinkey has found a handy loophole which allows him to sneakily get his own back on annoying passengers without anyone even batting an eye lid.

The American Airlines worker shared a hilarious video on TikTok which was titled: "The only job that you can call someone ‘Trash,’ and they thank you for it."

The clip, which has garnered millions of views, shows him making his way down the aisle of the aircraft while clutching a bin bag to collect everyone's rubbish.

It's the moment we're all waiting for after pigging out on plane snacks and being left with loads of packaging.

But when approaching each traveller to gather their waste, Josh has a crafty way of 'trash talking' them right to their faces if they are a holidaymaker who's been causing havoc.

It's all in the pronunciation - as he thrusts the bin bag in their faces and says, 'You're trash', although all passengers hear is him pleasantly asking: "Your trash?"

Talk about a sneak diss.

In the comical clip which he shared to social media, the flight attendant is seen with a huge grin on his face as he brazenly brands people 'trash' while making his way down the aisle.

TikTok users thought his method to covertly insult troublesome travellers was hilarious and flooded the comment section while sharing their amusement.

One laughed: "The absolute joy on your face."

Another joked: "Going on a plane tomorrow and now I'm gonna respond with, 'I'm what?'"

A third added: "I've never thought about it like that!"

A fourth commented: "The enthusiasm is killing me."

While a fourth chimed in: "Your evil smile at the end LMAO."
