- Flight attendants have seen their share of crazy encounters with passengers.
- One woman told her son to go to the bathroom on the floor of the plane because he "couldn't relax in the tiny bathroom."
- Some passengers have mistaken the cockpit for the lavatory.
Crazy stories go hand in hand with a career in aviation — and none are more shocking than these about unruly passengers.
A naked man tried to test the limits
On a flight to Hong Kong, a flight attendant informed the pilot, Dan Boland, that a passenger had taken off all his clothes and was sitting buck naked in his seat. Boland instructed the flight attendant to tell the passenger he'd be arrested if he didn't get dressed at once. The passenger called their bluff, waiting until landing to get dressed. Although he wasn't arrested, we don't suggest trying this yourself.
Nice guys, but do we need to see that?
Reddit contributor hubberbubber recalls a story his pilot father told him about the time he was flying an Australian rugby team back to Australia after a championship match. "They rented out the entirety of first class, and the moment the flight reached cruising altitude, stripped down to their boxers." Apparently, they were some of the most polite passengers hubberbubber's dad had ever seen — albeit almost naked.
There seems to be an emotional support slippery slope
A former pilot, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells "Reader's Digest" of a passenger who brought his emotional support dog on the plane. So far, so good, right? The thing was, the emotional support dog, a sturdy German Shepherd, required his own emotional support dog: a fluffy toy poodle mix. This was, of course, unprecedented ... and, therefore, permissible. Don't miss these ridiculous requests people have actually made on airplanes.
