Man, that sucks for the passengers, but imagine how many more times that sucks for the poor person with the poops. All the same smells plus the horror of having shit yourself all over a plane.

As someone with IBS and Celiacs disease this is basically my worst nightmare.

I had something similar happen once while deep water SCUBA diving in Baja California.

Trying to hold it when I needed a decompression time was awful. I didn't make it and the stuff made it all the way up my suit and into my beard. I was surrounded by fish though like a Disney princess as apparently they liked the taste. Less so of the group I was scuba diving with. They swam over to see the fish and I tried to wave them away.

The worst part was the miserable 2 hour boat ride back with shoulder to shoulder space and over a dozen people crammed shoulder to shoulder with my stinking suit sitting in the middle of the boat, and having to ask the captain to stop every few minutes so I could jump overboard and shit again. :(

should wear an adult diaper if you have that condition. don't be too proud.

I mean, except that time it's not like I can't hold it. It's just difficult sometimes. The only times that worry me is if I can't find a bathroom within 20 minutes or so. Also since I figured out the whole Celiacs thing it's gotten much better.

And I am definitely not proud, I just lost all shame years ago. Why bother? The less you are embarrassed by things like that the less people care.

I like making people happy and bringing joy into the world. I'm sharing this story with strangers on the internet because it's funny, and I don't mind people laughing at my expense. I've got plenty going on right in my life I can take a hit or two on stupid stuff like this.

I know my strengths and weaknesses and don't hide from either. I address my weaknesses head on and with zero shame and that is something I AM proud of.

actually it's cringe and it'd be best if you don't share it more

Yes, it's a humiliating story from decades ago. That's the point it's supposed to be cringe inducing.

I think what's more cringe is you caring enough to make this comment, especially to come back like a month later. Just laugh if you find cringe humor funny, and ignore otherwise.

Good lord that SUCKS man!!! I have minor IBS and it can be a bitch when it kicks up... I cannot imagine that all the time.

I try to make a point not to go anywhere or with anything I cannot pop a squat at least. My condolences my guy.

The shittiest flight home.

A friend of a friend. Was backpacking in India. He got amoebic dysentery while sleeping in a hostel. So middle of the night he wakes up and has to shit ASAP. While navigating the sleeping hall. He shits all over some poor people sleeping. He grabs all his stuff and disappears like a thief in the night ;-)

expect copycat incidents

I'm well over 21 years old. Does it mean that I'm immature if I can't help laughing at this story?

[–]tsanazi2 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Can you imagine having such bad diarrhea that it makes national news?

[–]TheMaharishi 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't have to imagine it. It literally just happened to some unlucky person XDDDDDD

Plus, it was an international flight: Atlanta to Barcelona. Passengers are reporting that the pilot did the right thing to turn the plane around.

[–]tsanazi2 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They hadn't made it to the Atlantic before the turnaround. Daily Mail has footage of the aftermath:

My question is: how did underwear or a bathroom not contain the disaster?

[–]In-the-clouds 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Maybe so.

It must have been humiliating... and very unpleasant for everyone on the flight. It was strange that someone would be hauled off the plane on a stretcher and I don't see how that would be necessary for diarrhea, so that might seem "funny" as in over-dramatic. I thought I spotted someone with an ice pack on their head. I don't understand that, either. Maybe there was something else about the flight that the story did not disclose.

[–]William_World 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

why didn't he just go in the bathroom

[–]In-the-clouds 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Maybe the person was walking down the aisle toward the bathroom when they couldn't hold it in any longer.

a case of "diarrhea all the way through the plane."

I hope they called Stanley Steemer.

I've always maintained that there's only 3 life scenarios that would warrant suicide for me- if my kids ever died, if I ever went blind, or if I ever became paralyzed. I'm resilient enough to overcome most things, just not those. But I may have to add "sprayed diarrhea all over a plane aisle while sprinting to the bathroom and it made national news" to that list now, Jesus how humiliating.
