the 2014 trivial drivel thread

I heard a news story this morning that a flight was grounded due to dog shit..

Yep, dog shit..

Apparently somebody took a dog on board and it took a shit in the aisle and several passengers became violently ill forcing the plane to land.

Shit happens, I guess..

That would piss me, not the dog taking a shit, but the asshole passengers causing me a delay and hassle over some dog shit. Violently ill, are you fucking serious.

[Duchess]

are you fucking serious.

An emergency landing no less.

And you thought your last flight was crappy.

Passengers aboard US Airways flight 598 weren't expecting an emergency landing in Kansas City, Missouri on Wednesday but then again, they probably weren't expecting a dog to poop during their flight either.

Yet that was the case for dozens of Philadelphia-bound flyers, according to tweets from the inside the plane.

The flight had left from Los Angeles when passengers detected a foul odour about an hour into the flight.

"About an hour into the flight, I started smelling this terrible smell. I look up the aisle way and there's a dog pooping right in the middle of the aisle. It's a big dog, three or four feet tall or long, and he was just going!" passenger Steve McCall told Inside Edition.

The airline's cabin crew did their best to clean up the mess but then the animal, a service dog according to US Airways, pooped again — up to three times according to multiple media reports.

"The second time after the dog pooped they ran out of paper towels, they didn't have anything else. The pilot comes on the radio, 'Hey, we have a situation in the back, we're going to have to emergency land,'" Travelers Today quotes McCal.

While a defecating dog isn't normally enough reason to ground a flight, the pilot made the call after the smell caused passengers to become physically ill.

"A couple of people started dry-heaving, a couple of people were throwing up," McCall said. "The flight didn't have enough supplies to keep up with the mess."

It would piss me off too if my flight was delayed due to a little dog shit. Keep flying -- the sooner I can walk around the pile and get to my destination, the better.

But, based on Duchess' update, that dog was a shit volcano. That makes it sensible to me that the pilot would emergency land if there were still a lot of miles left on the trip.

Messy -- and I can imagine a few passengers trying to sue the airline for mental duress or some such BS if the pilot didn't take action.

[sally]

I wouldn't care if that shit had hook worms crawling out of it, I would have found something to clean it up myself if it meant the plane not landing.

[Duchess]

Strangely, I feel worse for the dog's owner than I do the other passengers.

[HairOfTheDog]

I feel mostly for the other passengers, like sally. That flight had already been delayed at LAX for a long time due to a fuel leak before take-off.

Then, a dog starts leaking in the aisles and more delays.

There would have been quite a few of those little JD bottles empty on my tray.

As for the owner, I'd need to know WTF he fed the dog prior to boarding the airplane to know whether I felt sorry for him or not.

Anyway, I think the pilot had to land the plane. Health hazard with huge liability potential.

[Carsman]

The majority of the passengers on that plane must have been old fuckers!
That's why they had to emergency land.

Anyway, you know you're getting "Old" is when . . .


. . . your sweetie says, "Let’s go upstairs and make love," and you answer, "Honey, pick one, I can't do both!"

. . . a sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door nearest your car.

. . . when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

. . . when you are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

. . . "getting a little action" means you don't need to take any fiber today.

. . . "getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking without help.

[sally]

I would have held one of those puke bags they provide under the dogs ass. It's just dog shit for Christ's sake, we've all stepped in it at least once in our lifetime.

Easy to crush airlines in these situations, but the flight crew has been great during 1,000 gallon GasLeak/Dog Shit-gate 2014. Kudos to them

My flight from Honolulu to Denver had a dog on it. First time I had experienced that.

No dog shit however.

The passengers that were forced to sit with a dog were not necessarily happy though (it was 3 rows behind me).

Was the dog ill behaved?

Service dogs are normally brilliant, with impeccable manners.

The dog was very well behaved.

In fact, after we took off, I had forgotten that there was a dog with us.

But when the dog first arrived, a couple of people sitting in the area asked to be moved, causing a minor delay.

[Duchess]

When are you getting your kids a dog, MS? I saw you recently mention that, didn't I?

Yep, my wife and are getting the itch, but want to make sure the kids are sharing in the responsibility.

Think of it as getting another child. There is good and bad.

I went to a fancy teppanyaki restaurant last night and the chef we had was so drunk I was for sure they were going to tell him to get the hell out. Turns out he's the owners brother and the group we were sitting next to request him when they go there, we didn't even get the R-rated version he usually puts on they said.

He kept grabbing the waitress' ass and tossing little rice balls down my shirt. Then instead of filling our saucers up with white sauce he squirted saki in there from a ketchup bottle and was drinking it himself the whole time. Then he ate two pieces of my sushi when I wasn't looking and filled my plate up with a $40 dinner that I didn't even order. The funniest thing was a group of black women with low cut dresses sat at another table and he told my husband to come cook this stuff because he's going over there. He was serious. He gave my husband his spatula and hat and left for 5 minutes. Hilarious, no one even ate their food because he had us cracking up the whole time. I gave him a $20 tip, I wasn't expecting a comedy show.

[Duchess]

tossing little rice balls down my shirt.

That cracks me up.

You made a memory!

[sally]

At the end he wasn't even tossing them, he was reaching over and just placing them there. He drank so much saki he had to have been totally shit faced by the time he got to the next table. He was a little Japanese guy that made even funnier.

[sally]

Oh yeah, then he grabbed my full beer and told everyone else at the table who had beers to stand up and race him. He's the second from left. The second picture is what he served us. I don't even know if it was cooked through, he just started slopping stuff all over our plates.
