Most embarrassing thing you've done on a plane?

    I've been flying a lot this month and had I believe my most embarrassing moment during my most recent flight.
    Flight was already going badly, late, cold, feck all food and was surrounded by screaming kids.
    After a while I decided to try and get some kip just to pass the time.
    Stomach was acting up a bit but nothing major. Fell asleep any way but was woken up a few times due to my painful stomach.
    Off to sleep again to be woken up by the air vents blowing in my direction and a slight stench in the air.
    Turned to look at the woman sitting next to me to see why she turned it towards me only to be met with a look of pure disgust on her face.
    I'd been farting in my sleep.
    Fcuking mortified.
    Couldn't wait to get off the plane :D

    I suppose vomiting on a morning, weekday flight from Madrid to Dublin. Everyone was asleep and I started to feel nauseous. Had to grab one of those sick bags which I puked into with all the sound effects. You'd expect it on a turbulent flight but this was a smooth flight into Dublin. Loadsa Spanish staring me out of it. Flying makes me pukey these days.

    Fell asleep on the can and face planted into the back of the door. Bust my eyebrow. The flight attendants stopped serving me at that stage.

    I got carried off a plane on a stretcher after drinking the best part of a litre of gin. Needless to say, I don't remember much of it.:pac:

    I think I was talking in my sleep once - and the expressions of those around me suggest that whatever it was - it was not something I wanted to be saying out loud _at all_. In retrospect I regret not asking then - for now I shall never know what it was.

    A few years ago, got sick in an airplane loo. It was so bad that they had to close the toilet for the rest of the flight, big biohazard sticker on the door. Pizza before flight, never again. :/

    I hate flying, hate it. I'm claustrophobic, so when I was going to LA, I had two Xanax to take. Now, I should have just taken half one, but nope, I took 2. Within half an hour I was panned out fast asleep. All grand until I started hallucinating. I dreamed I floated away hanging from a rake of balloons, got caught in a tree and then kids were shooting arrows at the balloons to make me fall.

    Then I felt like I was falling. Just then I woke up, flailing my arms and knocked your one that was next to me drink on top of her, soaked her.

    And there was still about 5 hours left on the flight

    Took 10mm too much off the front door.

    Had to go buy a new one. :mad:

    Got dumped by the girlfriend. A few months later, I met her on a flight to Birmingham. She was cabin crew. Didn't stop me having a stand up row with her in the back galley. Excorted off plane and very stern warning.

    Forgot lock the door taking a dump, needless to say somebody had the pleasure of opening the door whilst mid-plop....

    On a trans-Atlantic flight I farted while I was asleep - it was so bad I woke myself up!!!!

    In my defence I'd spent the last weekend of the trip with my brother drinking beer and eating Mexican and Indian food!

    Tbh, I wasn't that embarrassed - I didn't know anyone on the flight and I'm unlikely ever to see them again :D

    Was bring a bottle of chippy vinegar to a friend in France. Five minutes into the flight, i was getting the bag down from an overhead bin, the bag fell, the bottle broke. The smell. Oh jebus, the smell. In a packed plane.

    Not me but a mate. We were coming back from a stag weekend in Newcastle, he had the mother of all hangovers.

    We were seated near the back, and the only toilet was up the front, he felt sick and stood up, then decided he wasn't gonna make it, so reached up for his hand luggage and threw up into it.

    We were all pissing ourselves laughing, needless to say the rest of the passengers didn't find it as funny!

    Obviously not.

    I've done this too but in the back of a taxi in Rome mortified was not the word.

    Was flying from Sydney to Cairns, not a long flight only about 3 hours. I had a very bad back problem at the time and my doctor had advised that flying would be VERY uncomfortable, but the trip was unavoidable so he prescribed me some nice strong painkillers to get me through the flight. I took them at the gate about 10 mins before we were due to board, and within a couple of minutes I was stoned off my ass. So much so that my husband was worried they would think I was really drunk and not let me on the plane.

    We boarded and I just about managed to get my seatbelt fastened before passing out cold. I woke up just as we were landing and wondered why the front of my tshirt was soaked. Seemingly I'd spend the entire flight snoring thunderously and then my head would fall forward and I'd drool all over myself, so my hubby had to tip my head back again, which resulted in more snoring. Apparently the passengers surrounding me looked less than impressed.

    Opened the bathroom door after some woman had gone in there and forgot to lock it while taking a wee.

    Did you ask her for one last goodbye in the mile high club or something? :D

    Was sleeping at a window seat. Slowly woke up and saw a plane flying pretty close to us. Nothing special I suppose, but closer than I've normally seen them.

    Still half asleep, I thought I was travelling with my wife so I gave her a nudge and said "Look - plane!". The actual person to my right - a 50-something, well-dressed gentleman smiled at me like I was a bit 'special' and said "Wow!".

    Coming home from a wild weekend, I had barely slept so I fell asleep on a flight beside some strangers. Mouth open wide with full beer breath, I woke up suddenly, let out a loud grunt as I woke and then drooled on my chin.

    Ebola corn flakes. :D

    Reminds me of that pilot on the domestic American flight who announced on the intercom, "Your mom is on the plane." Everybody thought he said, "There's a bomb on the plane." :eek: :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Similar to the OP I too had a touch of flatulence on flight. Never fell asleep on a plane though- I'm usually too tense to sleep on public transport.
    Only memorable moment I had was when we hit a patch of turbulance coming in to land-I let out a shriek as the plane hit the tarmac roughly. Sure I was only nine or so and it was my first flight so I was naturally a bit nervy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭AulBiddy


    I have a panic attack every time during take off, cue hysterical crying and hyperventilation from myself, a lot of regular flyers rolling their eyes at me or just general looks of disapproval. I tried to muffle it but I'd have to cover my mouth and nose meaning I couldn't breathe even more. The air hostesses were absolutely lovely about it though so that was a positive aspect


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod

    Nah. She was trying to avoid me and I stupidly went off on one and in the process dragged up all the **** from the past. Back end of the plane heard it all. Hence the old bill on arrival.

    Hit the cabin staff lady a mighty whack on the leg with my elbow. I had just put my headphones on and was taking down my arms, she was rushing up the aisle at top speed.

    This thread is full of amusing anedotes about people accidently passing wind or not locking a toilet door.

    Then there's you - Unfunny and completely despicable behaviour. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    FFS no one died.

    Relationships ending can cause unbelievable stress on the mind and make good people do things that they normally wouldnt do. Give the guy a break, he made an ill-judged error. He who never made a mistake never made fúck all

    The Gardai were called and took the guy off the plane.

    That sounds like more than just a bit of "I never loved you anyway you b..ch".

    To be fair i dont think the guy is proud of his actions. Who are you to judge him really anyway?
    Plane security is generally tight so assuming the guy lost his temper, they arent going to take a chance.

    Are you for real?

    It's pretty straightforward to "judge" a passenger on a plane who attacks an air hostess and has to be hauled off the plane by the guards.

    Would you say it was embarrassing for him, Larry?

    I had just finished telling herself that my stomach wasnt great when someone near me either farted, or opened the gates of hell (one or the other), unleashing the most vile stench of death I ever smelt.

    No point trying to explain to people it wasnt me...

    I dont know who the baxtard was, but well played a$$hole.

    Made a monstrously loud fart once. The fumes nearly forced the pilot to divert to the nearest airport.

    The same can be said about yourself. Everytime a thread pops up which is based on lighthearted humour there is always someone ready to derail it. As per the thread title, the op was obviously embarrassed. Fighting in a plane in front of everyone and then being escorted off of the plane? Meets the criteria of the thread in my mind. Are you willing to share a story?
