According to Bennett, "The easiest way to tell if someone is a good person in an airport is to see where they put their luggage when they get on a plane. If they put their carry-on luggage in the overhead compartment and their personal item — like their backpack or their purse — under the seat, they're a good person and they're aware of their surroundings."

However, Bennett criticizes passengers who place small personal items in the overhead lockers, which he believes should be reserved for carry-on luggage. 

The video quickly went viral on social media and sparked debate on the issue.

One person said: You can tell A LOT about a person depending on their airport actions. 

A second wrote: Honestly. The worst are the people who put their jacket in the overhead bins. 

While a third commented: I love it when a flight attendant takes small items out, hands it back to the owner, and puts my carryon in instead, happened a couple lucky times.

Another added: Ive seen flight attendants call people out for this and it gives me SO MUCH JOY.

Someone else said: Nothing makes me SEETHE like a small item in an overhead. 

If I only have my personal item with me it’s going up top. Someone said.

Esther Sturrus, a flight attendant for the Dutch airline KLM, shared this tip on her TikTok account @esthersturrus.

Sturrus advises, "Worried about forgetting something from your locker? Put your heel/shoe in it so you won't forget it!"

According to her, placing a shoe in the safe along with valuable items serves as a foolproof reminder.

She reasons that guests wouldn't leave the room without both shoes, thus prompting them to check the safe for any valuables they might have otherwise accidentally left behind.
