• You thought you were having a bad day?
As an American Airlines flight prepared to leave Phoenix for Austin, Texas, the crew was forced to turn back to the gate, the New York Post reported.
No, a door didn't fall off the fuselage. A passenger posted on Reddit that an "audibly disgruntled" man boarded and sat down, then inexplicably exclaimed, "You thought that was rude? Well, how about this smell" -- and then passed gas.
Then he announced, "Yeah, everybody, let's just eat the smelliest food possible all at the same time!"
A flight attendant told the flatulent man, "That's enough," but as the plane taxied to the runway, it stopped.
The Reddit user shared: "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 grabbed his bag and deplaned; the flight was delayed by only about 20 minutes.
