Reddit User Reveals How A Passenger Pooped On Seat, But Remained Seated For Whole Flight

In a bizarre incident, a person recalled how a passenger defecated while on their plane seat and remained seated for the whole duration of the flight. In a viral post, a Reddit user mentioned that they were traveling to West Key, Florida with their eight-year-old daughter during Christmas when the incident occurred. The OP (original poster) mentioned that they were on a connecting Delta Airline flight from Birmingham to Atlanta when they noticed that the plane smelled of defecation. The OP asked their daughter if she had defecated but the young girl denied it. When the flight landed the OP noticed that a co-passenger was covered with feces. The OP wrote, “Upon exiting the plane, 8 rows in front of me someone had shit all in their seat, the bottom of the seat and the back was covered. This person had set in their shit for a good hour and then departed into Atlanta airport covered in shit. Definitely a first for me.”

This post has so far gathered over 15,000 upvotes since it was shared on January 3. In response to this, another Reddit user who claimed to have been on the same flight attested to this incident and wrote, “DL2162? Was waiting for someone to post this. If so, I was on the same row, the person was on the left aisle seat, we were at the right side (middle & window). Upon deplaning, I saw shit on the seat spread out like peanut butter as you mentioned, YUCK!!!!!! Saw the person scampering towards the restrooms. Even before boarding, the plane smelled weird, some kind of fishy smell.”

However, among the barrage of comments that criticised the ‘plane shitter’, many people asked for understanding towards those who might not be able to control their bowel movements due to underlying health issues.

Echoing this view, a Reddit user wrote, “When that happens, it surprises me that someone doesn’t pull a set of clothes out of their carryon and rescue the poor soul. The seat would have to be dealt with, of course. But no one should ever have to sit in their own mess like that.”

Another person commented, “Someone with stomach issues. I feel for them. Twice a year maybe I have an event. So far never on a plane. I usually have a roller bag, but it’s like 5th grade with a period. Do you stand up during class so everyone can see your ass? Or exit last? Sit there for hours knowing that it was you. Dig through your roller bag with a change in clothes? Life isn’t easy for people with stomach issues. I’ve literally tossed underwear, rinsed pants out in sink and soap and rubbed with sanitizer just to finish a trip. Thank the stars it wasn’t you!”
