Ridonkerous!

Your family will just pretend they're strangers anyways.

"Who? Oh that guy yelling at the kids? No we don't know him."

:P

:lol: So true!

I have a bad habit like that, I can't help it if people piss me off :hehe:

Last time I actually yelled at someone was when some kids (16) decided it would be a good idea to throw [censored] at me and my customers for no reason... I was much more... uh diplomatic then I should have been and only yelled at them and herded them away from the store to let security deal with em and show em the exit (they ran from security, got picked up by their pissed off parents after being caught and banned from the mall)

So long as they lower the oxygen masks it's cool, the smelly guy can stay

You seem to be under the impression that you have any rights on an airplane. Really, you have none.

You are required by law to listen to the stewards and obey them, your movements on the airplane and where you are flying to are restricted by law, your presence on the airplane is restricted, your speech on the airplane is restricted, any semblance of privacy are out the window as soon as you walk on the airport property. I could go on. Now, these are all by the government. On top of that, you have the rules of the airlines. It's their plane and they can do what they want with it, including who they decide to carry on it.

The first time I went on a plane, about two years ago, me and a friend went up to the Gold Coast.... Worst. Flight. Ever.

I was sat in the middle of three seats on one side of the plane, with my friend on the left sitting at the window and on the right, some girl that smelled like she had smoked an entire pack of cigarettes before she got on the plane. It smelled seriously disgusting.

I wanted to vomit into a bag, and then put my nose to it and smell that instead of this girl's smoke-stench. I was hoping someone close to me would fart so I could get a whiff of a fresh new smell. Anything but the smell of a obviously-very-heavy smoker.

It was as if she had a sealed room full of cigarette smoke and had been living in there her whole life, so her hair and skin and any clothes she owned had the smell fused to it. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad smoke-stench.

Then behind me was someone with an mp3 player with the earphones in as loud as they would go, so the whole flight I could hear the crappy music this person was listening to. Then there was the woman near the front of the plane laughing loudly while watching 'Mr. Bean's Christmas' on the little media players we could get.

I think they should kick off people that stink of cigarettes and any other bad smelling person. Obviously they can't kick off someone who's loud and annoying, as they aren't loud and annoying until the plane is air-born. Pity.

Yes, take a shower dammit.

Well, the airlines are common carriers, so they have to publish and follow "Conditions of Carriage", and they can't refuse to transport anyone who meets those conditions.

But there is typically a condition that covers this case, i.e.

Well maybe if it was a big fat guy just maybe. But no offense to the the fat guys out there. Now what would be nice is a air freshener.

Given all the restrictions and privacy invasions with flying lately I doubt I would be on an airplane. <_<

But so long as the person was really smelly and given a refund, I am ok with it.


If everyone stank, then no one would notice. This is why in the past you had people like Elizabeth I stating they would take baths once a month whether they need it or not. We may go :blink:, but for those at the time their noses were adjusted to it so that the world didn't stink.

Obese people who cannot occupy a seat without taking up half of their neighbor's are a big (pun unavoidable) problem for airlines too. In this case, we don't know what the guy smelled of; all we know is that it was rank beyond the point the airline personnel could have overlooked it.

I just find it odd how someone don't take a bath/shower before they get on a plane.

I can confirm this... during outward bound we didn't shower for 4 weeks... nobody noticed

Forum threads and airline passengers start to smell after three days. Since there seems to have been little left to say for a while, we'll close this one now.
