flatulence

My best friend and I departed San Francisco International Airport on an international flight bound for Germany. We were going to travel throughout Europe. The flight to Germany was hell. It couldn’t get any worse than this folks. We boarded the plane and I sat in my assigned seat. Three young French women trapped me in […]

Once I was on an all night business flight, seated in First Class, beside a very famous and beautiful award-winning actress. She was very sweet and we chatted a bit before she fell asleep. Some time later I heard a distinctive sound usually associated with flatulence, followed by a strong odor also usually associated with […]

in Odor Stories

Over the years I have logged thousands of hours sitting on planes and it was on one of these flights that I learned where not to sit, if at all possible. I had made a last minute change to my plans so I had to jump on a plane at the last minute. Not too […]

Atlanta to Gatwick, March 2007: We’re flying BA, my husband has the window seat, I have the middle seat, and here comes the guy with the aisle seat. He sits down and starts handling religious pamphlets, from a particular “brand” of religion that is very big on proselytizig. I think “oh no” and don’t say […]

I was on a flight from Tampa to Louisville returning home from a business trip. I always try to get an aisle because I’m a bit claustrophobic. This rather large man was sitting in the window seat when I boarded. We said the usual pleasantries and shortly afterwards, the flight took off. Within 30 minutes, […]

For several years I was a very frequent flyer. The first year or two of my travel days, when I would get on the plane, I would have to walk by those snobby, rich, too good for me, first class people to reach my seat in the back of the plane. Being a person of […]

On my 10 1/2-hour international flight, I got stuck behind a man who dealt silent-but-deadly farts at regular intervals. It was about every fifteen or twenty minutes. I could almost set my watch on it. What’s more, he would look around before, during and after each one. My entire row was a little bit green […]

Gassy Passenger

October 4, 2007

I was on a night flight from Bangkok to Shanghai and was catching some sleep when the guy beside me started to burp loudly (and to remind you some burping comes with smell), next he started snoring loud enough for the world to hear, and to increase my ordeal he farted! That was the worse […]
