Smelly Passenger Kicked Off Plane

Few people would argue that air travel doesn't stink on same days, but what about their fellow passengers?

Well, the smell of one passenger was so bad that he was apparently asked to leave a recent Air Canada regional airline flight.

The Air Canada Jazz flight from Charlottetown, on Prince Edward Island, was preparing for the two-hour flight to Montreal when passengers on the plane reportedly complained about the odor coming from one of their fellow travelers. The crew eventually decided to ask the man to leave the plane.

How did we make it all these years with freedom over our bodies with such fragile imps amongst us?

I used to sing in a choir where one of the tenors must have used an entire bottle of Aramis at a time. I could barely breathe, let alone sing around him. I finally went to the choir director and had him ask the guy to dial it back some. To this day, I cannot stand the smell of Aramis.

One day I had a woman in my office just long enough to ask directions to another part of the building, less than a minute. Forty five minutes later, somebody walked into my office and said, “What is that smell? Did you just put on perfume?”

Ha! My son uses Axe, and at one point in time, all three sons were using it I think, or the one son was bathing in it. Anyway, I substituted essential oils mixed in a nice no-scent body cream and gave them that at Christmas-time and at least two of them are now using it. My persistent son used Axe a week or so ago (they live in a separated apartment from the rest of the house), but that junk seeped its way through, and I had to remind him to not use it in the house. And to think he's trying to attract women with that junk? I hope they are women with very strong livers, because that stuff is just as toxic as can be.

Read the Outlander series. The stink of the room or crowd is often mentioned by Claire the time traveler.

Fat ladies always put on too much perfume because they cover more square footage! Also, I was waiting for a red light to change and I could actually smell the perfume of the lady in the car in front of me. I swear.

People didn’t spend much time jammed together in metal tubes flying through the air, building were generally not sealed like today and much draftier with much more air movement,

When smoking was banned on flights, HVAC money could be saved by reducting the cabin air replenishment rate.

The last time I flew on Thai Airlines from Udonthani to Bangkok a young Thai lady sat next to me who smelled very strongly of garlic & fish.
She was so cute I didn't mind.
I'm pretty sure her name was Lek, or Dang, or Noi.

I never found France to be any stinkier than anywhere else.

Maybe you’re right, but I doubt people had lots of clean clothes and such. I bet they smelled pretty bad by our standards.

Reminds me of being in a tightly sealed college classroom in the winter with the heat on, surrounded by...uh, foreign students. OH MY GOD ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"how did we survive back before people regularly bathed"

People carried a pomander or scent ball to hold under their nose.

It wasn't so very long ago (1800's) that regular bathing especially in winter was considered unhealthy.

My experience with Indians is it is not so much that they don’t bathe or whatever (actually, I think they don’t as much as westerners), but it’s their diet!

The garlic, the curry and other spices...when people load up on that stuff, they can reek even when they come out of the shower.

Actually, back when I was teaching HS warm spring days could really bring on eau de teenager. Many of them did not use deodorant. They made us stop burning candles (fire hazard) and sometimes it got pretty ripe. We were not allowed to open the door (post Columbine Safety) nor windows. The kids would complain, but there wasn’t much I could do.

I have no idea what those are, but did they really have them in the middle ages? (or is this a joke I’m totally missing)

I’m sure you were more used to it. I used to have friends who thought the middle ages was such a romantic time and would have gone back to that time if they had been able to. I always thought...yeah, well people were rather stinky by our standards today. I even watched the Lord of the Rings movies thinking...those people look very smelly. I think I’m too hygenic!
