Airline horror stories: everyone has one or two. What’s your
worst? If you’ve ever flown, then you’ll be able to identify with these
travelers who had awful experiences with airlines. “Flying the friendly
skies?” Not so much. Read on for some amazingly awful air travel
tales. From missed connecting flights to lost luggage and everything in
between, you’ll get frustrated just reading these stories! You might
even reconsider that trip you’ve been planning.

They Tried To Be Kind, And That Was A Mistake
Reddit user Stabfacenotback was trying to be a nice guy in the midst of a winter storm but it didn’t end up paying off for him. He recalls, “Flying from MSP to Denver. Winter storm, I would be late. Fine. Well, since I really wasn’t in a hurry, I let everyone go in line before me at the airline desk so they could correct their connecting flights. I mean, I was at my destination. It sucks pretty bad when you miss your connection, so I was being totally empathetic to their urgency. It was more important than mine because I already had my travel connection in place. Right? Well, by the time I got to the front of the line, the airline baggage handler’s shift ended. My skis were locked in holding and there was NO ONE, NO WAY, NO HOW, I could get my skis.”

So Close, Yet So Far

Reddit user techniforus had a trip home that was
frustrating, to say the least. But it was even worse for the passenger
behind him! They recall: “When I was coming back from Cozumel there was a
storm in the Twin Cities so we couldn’t land there. We circled for a
while before having to land in Bemidji. We were on the ground in Bemidji
for about four hours. That certainly made the flight suck more than it
normally would. With extra time circling, I think we were six and a half
hours late in total.”
They continued, “It didn’t suck for us
nearly as much as the guy in the seat behind mine. He lived in Bemidji.
He could see his house and his friend’s house just before we touched
down there. Now you’d think this would be a good turn of events for him —
except they had no customs in Bemidji. He couldn’t deplane. He called
his friend from the plane to tell him just how late he’d be. It’s a four
hour drive down to the cities. We saw his friend drive down to pick him
up as we sat there on the runway.”

Stuck Sweating In A Plane

Reddit user Savage_1806 had an awful ending to a Vegas
trip. She recalls, “I was flying back from Vegas with a friend from a
Bachelorette party. We got to the airport around 9:30 am, and our plane
was due to leave at 10:45 or so. So we board and its the middle of June.
115 outside, but on the tarmac easily 120 or more. They scoot back from
the gate and just as we get to the runway, the engine dies. So we pull
back up to the gate and wait with absolutely no AIR CONDITIONING. We do
not have water, ice, nothing to help with the heat.”
“We wait in
the plane for over an hour, we are sweating some people are freaking out
demanding to be let off which they refuse to let us off. A lady passes
out, some people start getting nosebleeds. It was on the verge of
becoming a riot. Towards the middle of the plane, some college students
started playing ‘I Believe I Can Fly’, by R. Kelly. We all started to
sing along, our spirits lifted and after 2 hours being stuck in there,
they let us off the plane. So we wait for another hour or two in the
airport waiting for another plane to fly us home. We get on, about 3/4
of the people return. We board, and they start moving us back from the
gate, and BAM it DIES!!!!!!! This time we wait another 1.5 hours until
they let us off the plane. We wait, we make phone calls, we yell. A 3rd
plane comes rolling up, it’s air-conditioned and glorious. We pull back
from the gate with less than half the previous occupants. We get in the
air and land. NEVER AGAIN!!!”
<><>
Flying in Circles With Nowhere To Land

But wait, it gets worse… “Because the flight was from Switzerland to the US, we weren’t allowed to deplane in Manchester. So we sat there for another three hours. Then, we were cleared to fly to Boston, not PHL, because the crew had to change or something of that sort. So we flew to BOS. Again, we weren’t allowed to deplane. After an hour and a half in BOS we finally made our way to PHL. What was supposed to be an 8-1/2 hour flight became like 18 hours.”
Who Knew That Giant Teddy Bear Would Come In Handy?

They continued, “So, I yell ‘NO!’ at that, to make it clear, then calmly get someone to signal for the flight attendant, and ask if there’s something soft to use to cushion. Now, this is a bit of a strange situation because the guy having the seizure is already restrained by the seatbelt – it’s scary. So the best thing to do was use this oversized teddy bear someone had (it was Valentine’s Day) to cushion the guy’s head and get that in place. So there’s me, the stewardess, and a nurse, unbuckled, coming in on a priority emergency landing at Dulles, the plane is at a crazy landing angle, and I’m straddling the aisle trying to stop this guy [from] drill[ing] his head through the wall with a giant teddy bear. As soon as the nurse arrived I stopped, because her expertise trumped my very basic skills. The guy was OK – bewildered and covered in blood, but the EMTs got him off.”
Listen, Lady…

The woman sitting behind Reddit user Velkyn01 couldn’t
keep her opinions to herself. If you ask us, Velkyn01 was overly polite
with his response! They recall: “Had a lady sitting behind and across
the aisle from me and my girlfriend on a ten-hour flight. We’d spent the
whole weekend together already and were flying to the States for leave.
Both of us were enjoying our time being alone but together. I’m reading
a book on my phone, she’s listening to music.”
But then… “This lady leans forward and taps my shoulder. Asks me to open her soda for her. I oblige. A minute later. Tap tap.
I politely turn around, she starts with, ‘I think something is lost.’
Then just goes into this long-winded spiel about how in her day she’d
have been so excited to be with her boyfriend. Cuddling, kissing,
talking. I point out that we’ve been together every second of the last
48 hours, we’re just fine. She disagrees wholeheartedly. I disengage,
turn back, get a page or two into my book. Tap tap. I turn around
again, she starts bending my ear again about ‘today’s youth’ and how
we’re just too busy to talk to each other. Segues into the life stories
of her children. Every time I turn away, I get that tap tap again. This goes on for almost an hour.”

No One Wants To Sign Up For A Credit Card Right Now

One Reddit user (and apparently many others onboard) hit
their limit with the flight attendants’ announcements. They explain,
“After a week-long booze bender in the Caribbean, I was flying back to
the states on an early morning flight and rocking the worst hangover
I’ve had in my life. I couldn’t even drink water without throwing it up.
ALL I wanted to do on my flight home was sleep.”
Unfortunately,
it got worse: “The flight attendants got on the intercom literally
every 20 minutes or so and woke me up trying to sign us up for credit
cards and sell duty-free liquor and perfumes during the flight. I called
a flight attendant over and said ‘Look, I’m really hungover here and
just trying to sleep. You’ve already announced the credit card and the
duty-free stuff several times. Can you please not do that again?’ Well,
they kept doing it, and after another two or three times, I yelled:
‘JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!’ Apparently, I wasn’t the only one with a
hangover because several more people on the plane chimed in saying
‘YEAH, SHUT UP’ and ‘WE’RE TRYING TO SLEEP’ and ‘NOBODY WANTS THE CREDIT
CARD!'”
<><>
It’s No Wonder They Went Out Of Business

It’s not an easy business, but some airlines just really
don’t have it together. Reddit user SkippingMango7 shares: “Sitting in a
hot and fully boarded plane somewhere in sunny Spain the stewardesses
are pacing up and down the aisle counting and talking to each other.
After a few minutes they announce they are one passenger short and as a
result there is one checked bag too much. The solution is to take all
the checked baggage out of the plane, lay it on the runway and have
everyone find their bag. The engines are off, so no AC, in a jam-packed
plane in sunny Spain.”
Sounds terrible, right? It gets worse. “The
guys unloading the plane are so slow it is hard to fathom and people
are getting edgy. Two hours later, plane is still not empty but almost.
One of the stewardesses walks through the cabin double-checking some
numbers. With a slightly worried face she talks to a colleague. They
counted wrong. Load the plane again. Two more hours in hot no AC
jam-packed plane. Company went out of business shortly after.”

He Brought His Own Lunch, And It’s Not What You’d Expect

Reddit user Adrienne27 might have one of the uniquely
worst airline stories with this one. She explains, “Took a flight back
to JFK from Costa Rica which had done a prior pick up in Ecuador. Got
seated next to a really heavy guy who had been on the flight since the
beginning.
So far, it sounds okay, right? But wait… “When
mealtime came he refused the airline food and instead pulled out an
aluminum foil package which contained a roasted guinea pig. I nearly
lost my airline lunch when he pulled off the tiny drumsticks and chewed
on them.”
<><>
They Booked A Flight To The Wrong State

Reddit user Bobosmite could only blame themselves for
this mix-up! Hopefully, they got a good laugh after it was over. “I
lived in England for 4 years before moving back to the States. I had
arranged for a friend to pick me up at the airport in Charleston, WV. My
friend didn’t show up a the airport and after about an hour, I decided
to rent a car and drive home. Got the car, got going, and quickly got
lost. After four years, I had forgotten how to get from here to there. I
stopped at a gas station and asked for directions to Oak Hill. They had
never heard of it. Beckley? Nope. No joke I asked, ‘What road takes me
East?’ and she said, ‘If you go East, you’ll go into the ocean.’ And she
pulled out a map of Charleston SOUTH CAROLINA. I freaked out.”
They
continued, “Looking back, there were clues and deceptions. The ground
was a little flatter than I remembered and it looked like the airport
had undergone a remodeling. But, all the signs said “Charleston Airport”
and there were military planes at the airport. (WV has a reserve base,
SC has an active duty base). After a big panic, returning the rental
car, and getting back my military ID that I happened to leave at the
counter the first time I was there, I spent the night in a motel. I paid
$300 for a ticket to West Virginia and arranged for my friend to meet
me at the airport the next day.”

They Were Basically Kevin McCallister

Reddit user Beancounter2885 has a wild story that we imagine was basically the airport version of Home Alone. They
explain: “I was 12 and flying on my own from Ft. Lauderdale to
Philadelphia with a layover in Charlotte. I was waiting at the gate, our
plane pulled up, but they never started the boarding process. The
check-in people seemed confused and disoriented, and the plane was
eventually taken away.”
They continued, “Turns out the FAA decided
to put a stop to ValuJet after a major plane crash where they were
negligent. I just happened to be on a layover when that happened. My mom
was freaking out and sent me money via Western Union. I was stuck in
the airport for two days before another airline decided to honor my
tickets.”
<><>
They Were Going To Take Off… Without A Door

Reddit user jester02k was happy to deboard the plane they
were originally supposed to fly on. They recall, “Was traveling to
Dallas from Boston had a layover in Atlanta. while waiting at the
terminal we hear a weird bang. The captain came over the PA telling us
there’s a problem with the cargo door it will be a short delay. It took
about an hour and we finally pushed back from the terminal and taxied
out to take off when we suddenly turned back to the terminal. The
captain came back on the intercom and explained that the repairs
required an FAA inspection and we will be in the air momentarily.”
They
continue, “Well, we taxi up and you could hear the door open and close
about three times then there was a louder bang. The captain was right on
the PA this time and said that the FAA didn’t like the repairs and we
would have to change planes. While walking off the gangway people
started to notice the cargo door was on the ground. It had fallen off
the plane. Rumor with the gate people was that while [we were] taxi[ing]
out to the runway the tower noticed the problem with the door and that
the door was repaired not by the mechanics but the baggage handlers. We
were all given 300 dollar vouchers not that I would ever fly them
again.”

Dressed For Winter Sitting On A Tarmac In Barbados

Deciding what to wear while traveling between different
climates is tough. Reddit user J_Keefe immediately had regrets. “In the
90s my family took a winter vacation from NJ to Barbados. The vacation
was lovely, and when we went home we had to dress for February in NJ,
which means wearing pants on the airplane even though it was really hot
in Barbados (Barbados is only 10 degrees north of the equator). So I’m
wearing jeans, packed into coach in the middle seat of a 3-seat group,
on the tarmac with the door closed, and the captain comes on the PA and
announces that they have a warning light for low generator fluid. He
warns the cabin that the SOP is to replace the low fluid as well as
check all of the generators. This includes the APU (auxiliary power
unit), which powers the cabin air conditioning.”
He continued,
“Everyone was instructed to close the window shades and move as little
as possible. We then sat on the tarmac for two and a half hours in the
blistering sun under a cloudless sky, with zero airflow in the cabin. To
make the situation worse, some idiot (an adult that should have known
better) was talking to whoever would listen and saying ‘Good thing we
didn’t take off. When a generator runs out of fluid, it’s like when a
car runs out of gas – it explodes!’ I was in middle school at the time
and was smart enough (and knew enough about aviation) to know the guy
was full of it. It’s not good to potentially incite panic in an aircraft
experiencing mechanical difficulty.”

A 10-Year-Old And An 8-Year-Old Alone In Chicago

It’s tough enough when you’re an adult and your flight is
canceled, but it’s even worse when you’re a kid traveling with your
younger sister! Reddit user Ohitsriahh recalls, “I was 10, flying to my
grandparents’ house with my 8-year-old sister for the first time without
our parents. My parents had escorts and everything set up, and things
were going good. They moved us to first-class and fed us amazing food.
Then the Northeast Blackout of 2003 happened, and we were unable to
finish our flight from Seattle to Detroit. So we landed in Chicago.”
They
continued, “We were scared and both freaked out (my first experience
with anxiety) without our parents. We ended up having to spend the night
there in one of the lobby rooms with all of the other parentless kids
who had to make emergency landings. They gave us free McDonald’s for
dinner, and a few of the stewardesses went and bought a few Nintendo
game consoles from the Walmart for us all to take turns playing. It was
scary without our parents, but everything turned out okay.”
<><>
It Could Have Been Worse

Reddit user ThatGuyFromOhio had a scary airline incident
but luckily walked away unscathed. “Our flight was approaching the
airport. When the plane was only a few hundred feet above the ground,
the engines suddenly raced and we headed back up. A moment later, one of
the crew opened the cockpit door, walked down the aisle with a
flashlight in one hand, a screwdriver in the other hand and a worried
look on his face. He disappeared into a trap door in the aisle floor and
remained below for a long while. He emerged from the trap door, and
walked back up to the cockpit, still looking worried. The captain came
on the loudspeaker and said that there is a problem, but they think it
is a false warning light. We are going to attempt a landing.”
He
continued, “At this point, the fellow in the seat next to me vomited. We
started down toward the runway and approached the airport. As we
touched down, dozens of fire trucks were racing down the runway along
with us. The plane came to a halt and the passengers burst out into
joyous applause as the fire trucks raced up beside us. All was well.
Except for the smell of vomit.”

This Poor Soul Had No Personal Space

Reddit user grindermonk knows the challenges of flying
alone with an infant all too well. They explain: “I was flying with my
18-month-old son as a lap child. The flight was full and were assigned a
middle seat in the last row of our 737. You know the last row, it’s the
one with the bulkhead behind it that prevents any hope of reclining
your seat. Were among the first to board. Eventually, our row companions
join us. Sitting on either side of us are 300+ pound mountains. Oh
well, it’ll be a cramped 3 hours. The flight takes off. We get to
cruising altitude and get our drink service. And now the guy in front of
us leans his seat back to take a nap. Apparently, his seat has no stop
on the recline mechanism. I now have a bald head in my lap as well as my
son, and I’m wedged in between two people who are overflowing their
seats. Then, to top it off, my son knocks our neighbor’s tray table,
spilling most of a can of coke in my lap”
They continued, “Kids
crying, passengers are shouting, somehow the bald head is still snoring
in in lap. I get the evil eye from the flight attendant for causing a
disturbance. As if it was my inability to control my kid that caused
this mess. She ignores my pleas for something to wipe up the spill, and I
spend the rest of the flight fuming in my seat. Ugh. Usually, folks are
somewhat understanding of a parent traveling alone with a small child,
but in this case, I got no help.”
<><>
They’ll Have PTSD From Christina Aguilera

“Was stuck in Philadelphia Airport overnight shortly before Christmas during a snowstorm. For what seemed like the entire night, Christina Aguilera’s Christmas album was played on repeat full-blast throughout the terminal. Hell is real.”
They Didn’t Realize Until Later How Suspicious They Looked

Reddit user undeadgorgeous recalls a hilarious time she
and a friend were flying and didn’t realize how suspicious they looked
until it was too late. She explains: “A friend and I were traveling from
California to Utah with one-way tickets. We decided on a whim to fly
there for a show and weren’t sure when we wanted to head home. We had a
single large duffel bag between us as well as a large prop relating to
the show we were seeing. It was a motorcycle helmet with the front
windshield part removed and a microphone mounted on the side, with the
mic part coming around in front of the mouth part. There were red and
blue wires connecting the mic to the inside of the helmet. Neither one
of us thought it was that weird so my friend took it as her carry on
item.”
She continues, “So. We have two girls with one-way
tickets, a large black duffel bag, and a helmet with a mysterious object
mounted to the side. This spelled out terrorism apparently because we
were detained and questioned before we even made it to the gate. They
had to put us on the next flight four hours later. All because neither
one of us thought about the fact that maybe our microphone-helmet hybrid
looked like a bomb.”
<><>
Team Hangover Doesn’t Have It Together

Reddit user programmed_death learned the hard way not to
drink too much the night before a flight. He recalls, “Was on a
recruiting trip in late September. The night before, we went to a huge
party and got extremely wasted. Was drinking from 10 pm to around 3
am–and my flight was at 6 am. I made it to the airport fine, still
probably drunk, but I made it. Made the first 2-hour leg of the flight
fine. During the one hour layover is when the hangover hit me. My fellow
teammates were not doing so well either. We board the next flight and
my teammate is lucky enough to get to the bathroom in the cabin to puke,
but not me.
It goes downhill from there… “We take off and it
feels like the entire plane is spinning in circles. I had the vents on
to the fullest which was probably what kept me from puking during the
flight, but when we landed, they must have turned the A/C off because
the vents were no longer blowing cool air. I knew at that point I wasn’t
going to make it, pulled out the bag and blew chunks as we were
taxiing. Easily the worst experience of my life so far.”
<><>
The Airplane Door Wasn’t Shut

Some of these stories sound stressful and frustrating,
but this one is downright scary. The ignorance of the flight crew is
absolutely stunning. Reddit user chevyfried recalls, “Flying with my
family from Miami to Barcelona aboard luxurious Iberia Airlines. We
board, all going as planned, strap in and taxi out. Start ascending and
everyone is kinda wondering why the pressure is starting hurt everyone’s
ears. We keep going, captain tells us all is fine and keeps ascending.
Starting to really hurt now and my cousin who just had facial
reconstructive surgery after a near-death car accident starts yelling in
pain. Then the masks drop. Between trying to calm her down, looking for
a single member of the airline and the captain still reassuring us we
don’t need to Don our masks, everyone is starting to freak out.”
They
continued, “Finally, after a good 15 minutes we level off and the
captain comes back on telling us we will be turning around back to
Miami. Oh but wait, we are on a 747 and with a full tank of gas, booked
flight and full cargo, a 747 can’t land on a standard runway. So we
spent the next hour dumping our fuel over the pristine Atlantic ocean.
Finally land, and find out the door was broken and never closed
properly. They went out of business very shortly after.”

He’s Never Going To Israel Again

No one wants to be pulled into a room for an extra
security check. Nothing good happens in those rooms. Reddit user
scnative843 knows this all too well. “I was flying from Tel Aviv to JFK,
and while I was going through security in Tel Aviv, I got pulled by
security. They took me to a side room, interviewed me for a little while
about why I was in Israel and where I went, and then made me go into
what was basically a 4×4 box with a curtain blocking one side. They made
me strip down to my boxers, and toss my clothes out for them to search.
After they did this, I got dressed, and they proceeded to take my
books, my iPod, and my headphones away, and make me check them. This
left me with nothing to read and nothing to watch or listen to for the
12-hour flight.”
He continued, “The icing on the cake was that my
seat was the aisle seat right next to the bathroom, so not only did I
get to smell the bathroom for the whole flight, but every single person
who went to the bathroom for 12 hours bumped into my seat to and from
the bathroom. Every. Single. Person.”
<><>
Shake Your Groove Thing (Over And Over)

Redditor milkomeda acknowledges that their story is not
nearly as dramatic as some others, but it’s still a good one. “[B]ack in
’04 I got stuck at the Atlanta airport for 10 hours, after we missed
our flight due to complications in our connecting flight. What was
horrible, was they had this cycle of announcements constantly playing
throughout the airport, and the cycle was relatively short, like 5 min
or so. Normally I would just tune them out, but in the middle of the
announcements they would play a short, 10 second clip of the song ‘shake
your groove thing’ (don’t remember the context).
“So I must have
hear that 10 second clip like, I dunno, 100+ times? It. Was. TORTURE.
For around a week afterwords I would still hear ‘shake your groove
thing, shake your groove thing..’ in my dreams, and in my head at random
intervals throughout the day.”

This Is What Happened Before Cell Phones

Do you ever stop and think about what life was like
before cell phones? It seems like ages ago. Before cell phones, you
couldn’t correct a communication error easily. And then things like this
happen, as Reddit user VerbableNouns explains: “When I was 10 I flew
solo from ROC to MCO where my grandparents were supposed to pick me up
at 2000h. They did not show. After wandering the airport for an hour or
so looking for them, I finally spoke with somebody and was herded into a
room for several hours by myself afraid that I’d never get to see
Mickey Mouse.”
They continued, “This was 1996, so no cell phones,
all I had was a phone number to a landline where nobody was answering.
Turns out they went to the wrong airport.”
<><>
Spoiler Alert: He Didn’t Get Her Number

Reddit user iguanajuan will never forget this flight. He
explains: “I was about 12 on my flight from Las Vegas to the East Coast
with my family. I sat in the middle seat between my dad and a young girl
about my age. I hadn’t spoken much at first but after my dad fell
asleep the girl and I struck up a conversation and we were getting a
long really well. (As a pubescent young boy I had a huge crush on her
and was going to ask for her number). I felt a little woozy shortly
before landing but we had already been flying for several hours so I
wasn’t too worried. When we started to descend, about 10 minutes away
from the tarmac, I projectile vomited unexpectedly onto the lap of the
girl next to me mid-sentence and then continued to throw up all over her
seat.”
He continued, “So we touch down and I’ve emptied my entire
dinner onto both her and her belongings (We had A&W so picture big…
burger, fries, and a huge root beer) and at this point, she’s climbed
into her seat to avoid some of the vomit. I look up at her to see the
most disgusted/frightened face I’ve seen to date. I think the
conversation was tabled at this point. I look down into my hand and
realize I had been holding an air sickness bag in my hand the entire
flight and hadn’t thought to use it. Then after we got through baggage
claim I went to change and forgot my shoes in the airport bathroom. The
end.”
<><>
Bathroom Anxiety

“Hit some BAD turbulence coming in to my town in a tiny plane. Plane free fell for a few seconds, guy behind me is a [jerk] and says, ‘well, I don’t think we’re going to make it home!’ I already need anti-anxieties to fly, this made me swear off planes.”
The Airline Lost Their Wedding Clothes!

Some of travelers’ worst airline stories involve lost
luggage, and Redditor zappy487 knows this all too well. They were on
their way to their wedding when a terrible mishap took place. After
missing a connecting flight, they asked an airline employee about their
luggage. “I look this woman in the eyes and say ‘I am flying home for my
wedding, will my luggage make it, my parents do not live near the
airport.’ ‘Yes,’ [she said] in the sassiest tone. I told her it was
fine, I’d rather take the next flight to be sure, but they were going to
charge me like $400 more. I rudely told her to we would comply and got
on the plane.
“[We] did not make it to New York… they lost her
wedding dress and my dress blues. All hell broke loose with my wife and
mom. There was no kindness or remorse… given to customer service. They
were so angry my sister and I excused ourselves.”

When The Cleaning Crew Misses A Very Important Item…

Oh wow, this one might take the cake. It’s easy to assume
that the cleaning crew will do a thorough job between flights but this
is not always the case. Just ask rya_nc.
“Was flying to Hawaii
with my girlfriend at the time on United. The cleaning crew missed a
used sick bag that had been shoved between the seat and the side of the
plane. She shifted and it burst onto her.” That must have been a
miserable flight.
<><>
I Will Never Ever.

The Redditor who shared this story has since deleted
their account, perhaps out of shame. “Had a flight the next day so I
thought I should take it easy the night before. Mates called me to go
out, insisted, I vaguely resisted, then my alcoholic alter ego said [no
way]. Fast forward, bar crawling, 3 different clubs, drinking barrels of
beer, dancing….”
They continued partying. “Got home at 6 AM,
slept precisely 37 minutes, alarm rang (amazing I had set it up!),
didn’t even have time to get a shower. Jumped on the bus to the airport,
really nauseous. Get on board the plane, find my seat (a middle seat)
right between two huge guys, one that smelled horribly like the sweat,
the other one with breath to kill a mammoth. 3 hour flight. Did not go
well at all. This is one of those ‘I will never ever…’ that I actually
stick to ever since.”
<><>
It Went Everywhere!

Rafaeltheraven shared this gem of a bathroom story to
Reddit. “[O]nce on a very long flight home my plane got into some heavy
turbulence. Nothing really special or noteworthy, but I really had to
[use the bathroom], so when there was a silent period and the seatbelt
light went off I decided to go to the toilet. Well, just when I was
about to release the stream, heavy turbulence struck again and the plane
sort of bounced up and down, [liquid] going everywhere.
“Ever since then, I try to not go to the toilet on planes and if I do, make it a short one, because I still get freaked out.”
<><>
Don’t Let People Get Away With Being Rude!

“Being the socially shy person I am, I let him have it. big mistake. that [jerk] slept for the entire trip, and as ive said before, i need to get up often. so every time i woke him up to leave he gave me a [rude] look. and it was his fault for [desperately] ‘needing’ that aisle seat. And the best part? it turns out that the aisle seat really was mine.”
