Montezuma’s revenge ends in felony charge

[Dion]

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Like what does Delta think the guy should do? Drop a browner in the isle because the beverage cart is blocking his way to the bathroom in economy class

The last meal the Philips Healthcare marketing manager ate at a restaurant in Honduras wasn’t sitting well. He looked down the single aisle of the Delta 737. A beverage cart blocked his way.

Correa, 43, asked the flight attendant if he could use the lavatory in business class. No, she said.

Correa returned to his seat. He waited for the cart to move. A few minutes passed. Desperation overcame him.

Correa said he ran straight to the business class bathroom. “I had no choice,” he said in a telephone interview.

Correa refused to return to his seat. Scott called the pilot who talked to Correa. The pilot let Correa use the bathroom in business class. Correa did and returned to his seat, where he stayed for the rest of the three-hour flight.

I'm digging deep looking for a 'gravy plane' joke, but it's not happening.

[DementedReality]

i hate the arrogance of the flight attendants who treat the people in the back as cattle ... show some compassion for petes sake.. i have sat in business class on full fare many times and i wouldnt be offended if some poor bloke needed to use our washroom .. please, we are all human.

air canada wont serve me CRANBERRY juice unless I sit in the front. yup, thats right I was in economy and asked for cranberry juice and the attendant in the most pretensious voice said "oh sorry, we dont serve that baaaack here" .. so you mean to say, there is cranberry juice 5 steps away and you wont treat your customer to a glass of it? like i really care if i get the juice, it was just this arrogant attitude that the attendant had. so just out of spite everytime i am unlucky enough to be on AC and in the back, i ask for cranberry juice hoping to find the one decent attendant who will go out of her way for a customer. ya right, not yet.

if the guy crapped his pants, he should have sued the airline for willful misconduct or whatever the lawyer term would be for it.

Could have ended like this:

MR. POOPY PANTS

January -- flight from Fort Lauderdale to Minneapolis/St Paul.

SO what's the absolute worst thing that can happen on a plane? Well, it happened to me. Actually, the second worst thing happened to me. THE absolute worst thing happened to the lady who was sitting behind me, next to the antagonist.

Guy in the 2nd to the last row poops in his pants about 10 minutes into the flight -- we're talking the big D here, and I think he'd been eating seafood all week. Really really terrible. Anyway, he didn't even try to wash it out of his pants - he just sat there in his own poo...For over three hours.

Well we all know business class people are better people........ Fudge mister poo pants.

EVERYONE in attendance should get up and take a movement throughout the court hearing.... And fart throughout it.

I remember seeing this video on ebaums or something, a few years back. Basically, some teenagers spiked their fondue at their prom with laxative. As you can imagine, a fondue fountain at any event is the centre of novalty attraction and people scarfed down on the stuff. Problem was, the guys also jammed the washroom doors before the event began so even the staff couldn't open it up. Hidden camera some distance away and oh man, those kids must have gotten so beaten up once they found out who it was. I don't know how they relieved themselves, but it a was hilarious concept and funny as long as you weren't involved.

About a year ago on a Northwest flight, I had the opposite experience. I was in economy, and ordered a glass of wine. The flight attendant said 'This wine isn't very good, hang on' and then she went up to first class and brought the bottle back and poured me a glass.

I wanted a second glass later, but didn't want to push my luck so I told her I was fine with the little bottles in economy. She refused...and once again brought a bottle back from first class and poured me *two* tall glasses. Oh yeah, and she wouldn't accept payment for any of them.

I've had a soft spot for Northwest ever since.

and that pretty much proves my theory why AC is so bad ... for the cost of about 10cents, the attendant could have gotten me a glass of cranberry juice and provided a customer with something good to remember. instead,they turned me off over what? a glass of juice?

that attendant with NW understood the true meaning of customer service, thanks for sharing the story.

The problem with Air Canada is they don't need to provide good service or please their customers because they have a huge bore IV hooked up to the tax payers' wallets and they can mainline as much tax payer money as they need to stay in business. They don't have to stoop to catering to their cliental therefore.

[killer_carlson]

given the tort system in the US, I wonder if he wouldn't have a lawsuit against the airline for refusing him access to the bathroom in the emergency?!?! It certainly affected his personal dignity at the time and now that his name is all over the internet, it is continuing.

I think Delta will want this one to go away in a hurry.

[Sainters7]

Oh man, I had Monteczuma's Revenge when I was in Cabo last summer(and for a solid 2 months afterward), its absolutely horrible. When you gotta go, YOU GOTTA GO! I totally sympathize with this guy.

AC has not been a government airline in about 20 years and has not received any taxpayer dollars since they were privatized. Not sure where you got your information from.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

And that is why north american airlines suck ass and asian airlines continue to destroy them in reputation.

Everytime I'm on Singapore Airlines, Malaysian Airlines, Thai air, or cathay pacific, I'm treated like royalty, regardless of where I sit.

This guy makes a great point.

A couple of years ago, a situation arose on an Air France flight that now bears repeating and over which I still occasionally seethe. On the outbound flight from Atlanta to Paris, I had been fortunate enough to be upgraded to business class, which is always nice when it happens, but on the return from Paris to Atlanta via Chicago I was in "last class," as I've come to call it, but I had a bulkhead aisle, so it wasn't so bad. (I thought.)

As luck would have it on that particular flight, every single restroom in economy was out of order except for one. That meant one lavatory for more than 200 passengers on an eight-hour flight, ooh-la-la. My seat was located right behind the working lavatory, which was in the middle of the aircraft, and for the entire eight-hour flight, the line for that single restroom was backed up all the way to the rear of the plane. For all those long, excruciating hours, I had fannies (nicest word I can think of) in my face, and every time the plane hit any turbulence I was jostled and shoved until I wanted to scream. Don't even ask how many times my toes were stepped on, as I lost count after the first couple of dozen.

I couldn't move to another seat, as the flight was jammed-packed and no seats were left open. When I asked the flight attendants to please, please, please open the restrooms in business class to economy class, this is what I was told — and verbatim, I might add: "No, we can't do that. It would upset the business class passengers."

Upset the business class passengers! Well, dang! Let's sure as heck not do that! For gosh sakes, how could anyone is business possibly be "upset" over such an extraordinary occurrence as all of the bathrooms breaking down at once?

I was absolutely stunned by the utter conceit and lack of common sense of the Air France flight attendants.
