Cause a ruckus or just sit there-

I read this article on Salon.com and thought I'd share. I can't even imagine being in this situation.

"A man farted in my face on the plane and I said nothing!"http://www.salon.com/mwt/col/tenn/20...ter/index.html

this happened to me on flight from London to SF, and it was an ongoing ...I'm sort of embarassed to say that I was an idiot and didn't say anything, except for being passive aggressive and since he sat in front of me, whenever I got up, I made sure to hang on to his seat and make it move.... I know, I should have just said something instead

I'm not sure what you mean, Suzie. What's more crass: farting in someone's face or saying to that person please find your way to the bathroom and do your business in there? And it wasn't just once that this person did this. There must have been something the person standing could have done than position his rear end in someone's face and then proceed to pass gas. But like lyb, this has happened to me on trains and I've been quiet. Living in NYC you never know if the person is a kook or not.

Another reason to think twice about reserving seats near the lavatories on long international flights. After meals and movies, people line up for the toilets right next to your seat. Some are a little stinky.

My flight attendant friend told me this gem:

This one passenger called her over and complained that another person had just passed gas. The person she accused stated that she did not, and the other woman said "You did too!! I saw you tilt!"

Is this why some airlines announce that passengers are not to congregate outside the lavatroies?

As long as the oxygen masks do not drop from the ceiling, no comment should be made.

An excessive concentration of gas in any one part of the aircraft could be hazardous.

Wa this a drunkenlout bent on being offensive - or just a poor person with some sort of intestinatl difficulties.

Unless you're absolutely positive it's the first - stay quiet and be glad it's not you.
