FlightsFromHell.com received a document in PDF format that purportedly was an original complaint letter written by a passenger to an airline company. While a quick net search revealed the real poop – the letter has been making the rounds for a while – we’re going to post it anyway since it’s right on target with the theme of our website.

The writer’s complaint was about the proximity of his or her seat to the lavatory including its foul odors and sounds made from those in it. The letter discusses construction of a “stink shield,” and even provides illustrations including the one below:

A check with the urban legends website Snopes.com revealed the story to be surprisingly True. To read the letter, click here.

LOL! That was pretty funny! Made me think back to our "crew rest seats" that were always near a lav and always seemed to invite people to lean on us through the curtain. I can't count the number of times I woke up with someone's ass in my face!
