An influencer has sparked controversy after sharing a video of her extensive skincare routine performed in an airplane bathroom. Kate Elisabeth, known for her sizable TikTok following of over 657,000, filmed herself within the cramped confines of the aircraft lavatory, applying face wash, brushing her teeth, and even donning a face mask.
In the video, which quickly went viral, Elisabeth initially jokes about her anticipated bathroom time, humorously informing the queue of women outside that she would only need “two minutes…” However, the timer displayed in the sped-up footage reveals a significantly longer duration. Elisabeth is seen cleansing her face, applying two under-eye sheet masks, and proceeding to use deodorant and chapstick, ultimately spending 15 minutes in the bathroom.
Acknowledging the extended duration in her caption with a playful “Oops…,” Elisabeth’s video garnered over 1.7 million views and elicited a strong response from viewers. Many criticized her for occupying the airplane lavatory excessively, suggesting that such routine tasks could have been managed at her seat to accommodate others needing urgent bathroom access.
Comments on social media expressed frustration, with one user remarking, “I’d be pissed if someone took 15 min in an airplane bathroom doing what they could do at their seat. Brush your teeth then allow others to use the bathroom.” Others questioned the necessity of filming the routine in the first place, with some suggesting she could have expedited the process by omitting the recording.
Elisabeth responded to the backlash, with one comment implying that she may have intentionally posted the video to provoke a reaction from her audience. Despite the critique, the influencer seemed amused by the viral response, stating, “I love how much these annoy people.”
The incident echoes other viral moments on TikTok involving travel, such as a recent video from Orlando International where a passenger attempted to bring a pillowcase filled with belongings onboard, arguing it was a permissible carry-on item. The encounter, captured by TikTok user @natashaorganic, ended with airport police intervening and escorting the passenger away from the gate.
