An American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Austin had to return to the gate due to a disruptive passenger’s repeated flatulence.
The passenger made rude comments and continued his behavior even after flight attendants intervened.
Eventually, he was asked to leave the plane, causing a brief delay.
“Before most people had boarded, I observed that this man was audibly disgruntled about something, maybe hungover, rough day idk, but as soon as he sat down he was grumbling about something under his breath, like ‘f—ing hell’ or something,” one Reddit user wrote.
“You thought that was rude? Well how about this smell” the man said when confronted, passing more gas.
“(I don’t know) what provoked that comment, and while kinda funny to overhear, it was uncalled for especially coming from a grown man on an airplane nonetheless,” the user said.
“The man who just purposefully farted moments ago decides to loudly and condescendingly say ‘Yeah, everybody, let’s just eat the smelliest food possible all at the same time,’” they wrote.
“A guy in the row over replied, ‘If you don’t like it you can fly private’ to which fartman says ‘That’s so f—— rude,’ and another person nearby chimes in ‘I think we’d all agree you’re the rude one here,’” the user wrote.
“An announcement comes over saying ‘Apologies for the interruption but we are returning to the gate, we will give you more info when we have it,’” the user wrote
“We get back to the gate and a flight attendant comes back and informs fartman that he will not be staying on this flight. He simply replies, ‘I don’t understand’ and she tells him they’ll talk about it off the plane.”
“We all breathed a sigh of relief when he was removed, I think most ppl were on edge about what he may say or do next. The trip was only delayed by 15-30 minutes, so all in all I think American handled it swiftly,” he wrote.
Reddit users made jokes about the incident, and American Airlines was contacted for comment.
