Should the great unwashed be banished from this situation?

    I was on a flight recently and after taking my seat a guy came on board and passed by my seat seeking his own seat - nothing strange there, but it was his B.O. that had me and everyone in the vacinity on the aircraft nearly CACKING!:mad:

    It was pure vile. A pungent mixed aroma of sweat,piss,crap,rotting flesh and possibly smelly socks (x 1000) is what I'd try and describe it as. It was shockingly bad.:eek:
    I have no idea how he could have let his body odour get so ripe?!
    People all around had their eyeballs bulging and noses pinched trying to figure where the pong was emanating from. Those in the know as to who the perpetrator was,were quickly moving seats as far away from this guy as possible, but as there was limited free seating,so many had to stay in the vicinity of this stinking cretin.

    I was approx 5 or 6 rows away from him and could smell the durty fecker for the entire flight. I couldn't imagine what it was like to be closer to him for the duration of the flight - the smell and stench was incredible....

    The devil in me asked a passing flight attendant where "the dead body was"? They immediately understood what I was saying but asked for me not to refer to the issue or person as a dead body. I then asked would they allow me to check in with a lump of rancid smelly rotting flesh to take into the cabin much in the same way they allowed this person on board to bring so much discomfort to other passengers. She said to write to the airline to get an answer yada yada yada....typical.

    What do you think?

    Do you think the great unwashed should be allowed to travel in these situations where close personal contact is going to be the norm for a number of hours?

    I would have no objection to a couple of stewardesses giving me a good sniff before I take my seat.

    They should have a hose on board for situations like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling

    he should have been locked in the cockpit with the pilot tbh, they deserve it if they allowed him past the check in

    but then I'd have a DEAD stinking cretin on board - same difference. He smelt like a dead man walking alive anyways.

    I would complain though and asked to be moved if it is really that bad. You could claim that it is making you very sick and that you could possibly throw up from the stench.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 384 ✭✭Erica<3


    Seriously OP?

    How rude are you? Ok so this man's body odour may have been foul but no need to refer to him as a cretin or a dead body is out of line. How would you feel if you were't able to look after yourself sufficiently, or if you were so deep into depression you couldn't bring yourself to wash, and someone referred to you as a dead body?

    Who do you think you are? People are struggling to pay for food, and you're bellyaching about a discomfort on lets guess, a ryanair flight which aren't usually long haul.

    Do me a favour and STFU.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭MidlandsM


    Seriously Erica, grow a set....

    Nice twist, but you're talking thru yer arse frankly.
    Only a cretin could small that bad - seriously, I'd like to put him in a confined space with you to see if it'll alter your view?
    And as for being depressed, yeah right....too depressed to wear his bling with his hoe in tow? All he needs to do is Wash? Simple yeah?

    You STFU!

    The guy in that photo is too fat to sit in his seat without blocking the aisle, what has that got to do with a guy with bad body odour?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭bazmaiden


    tl;dr

    cliffs bro?

    You got it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭MidlandsM


    For clarification, he was'nt fat or obese, and it was'nt a ryanair flight for that matter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,297 ✭✭✭talla10


    Maybe he had a thing for air hostess's and was wearing sex panther.

    They've done tests you know. 68% of the time it works every time :P

    Whatever OP, i still think saying it to the air hostess was out of line, people are already aware of it, why make a bigger show just to play the big man?

    And fyi, I've no problem with smells, i work with horses on a daily basis.

    Horses don't smell bad anyway? I used to muck out every day, its not some big deal?

    Long story short: He's a smelly ****er and shouldn't have been let out of the house let alone onto the plane.

    OP for all you know this guy travelled half the way around the world with crappy stopovers to visit a relative that had been in an accident or was at deaths doorstep. Unless you know the full facts you shouldn't judge people.


    Shame on you, seriously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 384 ✭✭Erica<3


    EVery saturday. And it's not the smell of the body of the horse, but the smell of horse sh1t.

    The smell of BO is nothing compared to horse sh1t, and especially p1ss.
