Traveling is already stressful enough as it is. Almost nobody enjoys it — being sandwiched between countless other people in coach, the subpar food, the delays, the motion sickness — except for the insanely rich and the insanely hammered, as one man recently demonstrated when he threw caution to the wind and ended up on the no-fly list.



To be fair, I’m only assuming he was drunk, because the thought of someone whipping it out and pissing on the floor of a plane simply because an attendant told him to wait until the seatbelt sign had been turned off is unfathomable. Either way, this is what he did, before promptly being escorted off the plane and banned from flying for the foreseeable future. It’s a fair punishment — if you can’t hold it together enough to not pee on the floor of a crowded, enclosed space, you probably shouldn’t spend time in that crowded, enclosed space.



The photo of the guy getting arrested almost looks like a Renaissance painting: the man sitting forward in shock, the flight attendant’s hand pointing to the pisser, the smile on the cop’s face as he gets to arrest someone for a ridiculous crime. It’s truly a thing of beauty.


After the man did his business in the aisle where everyone could see, the flight, which was traveling from Chicago to New Hampshire, made an emergency landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Upon landing, the 25-year-old from Oregon was arrested and charged with indecent exposure.


He appeared in court that same day and was released on his own recognizance. Hopefully the court also ordered him to drive himself everywhere from now on. Even if he’s not allowed to fly, it’s not clear he can be trusted on trains or boats, either.
