Was I an asshole?

I wouldn't worry about it, everybody has one.
I had a worst of both worlds experience while flying to Memphis. Since there are no direct flights to that city from Toronto, I had to make a stop in Cincinnati. Anyone flying into that city will tell you that it is the most turbulent airport to land at. Unbeknownst to me the passenger sitting next to me was a colon cancer survivor. I knew this from my time in the construction business. One of the foremen was a colon cancer survivor, they lose the ability to control their flatulence and it smells like death. So I was sitting next to a guy who couldn't stop farting and I was forced to tolerate that smell. Add to that being shaken to and fro landing in Cincinnati. Fortunately I got off that plane, the reasonably fresh air in Cincinnati allowed my nausea to dissipate. Good thing to, had I flown that flight to its destination New Orleans I would have assuredly upchucked my porcetta.

For most of our history by having a zillion children as teens, losing most of them to child mortality, then dying in our twenties from horrible diseases. In modern times we live longer in large part because we better understand disease and do things like washing our hands after we go to the bathroom, and making sure poop doesn't get into our drinking water. Simple things like that, along with the improved healthcare, vaccinations, etc, have added decades to our lifespan.My Gaud, how did we survive so long as a species.
Imagine heading to work and stepping into an empty elevator that stinks of a mixture of body odor, feces and overripe cologne. You decide to take it to the lobby anyway, just hoping that it doesn't stop, because anyone who gets in will assume that it was you.
Then, just your luck, it stops at the next floor down and a gorgeous hotty steps into the elevator with you and immediately grimaces, giving you a “disgusted” look.
Do you:
a) blush and ride quietly, knowing that she will forever burn an image of you as an asshole in her mind, wishing that you'd just taken the stairs.
b) grimace sympathetically, apologize for the unfortunate circumstances of your chance meeting and try to make the most out of a bad first impression, hoping that she lets you off the hook.
c) complain that you will be demanding a refund of your condo fees and plan to move to a better class of building, then lecture her, to not jump to conclusions, promising to show her a better time on your next encounter.
d) just admit that the feces stained shirt in the corner of the elevator is the one you wore the night before for your pub-crawl, but that you can't remember anything that happened after 9pm.
e) all of the above.
Tolerance is understanding that we all will end up on the bottom. Our behavior on the journey is how we measure our humanity.

But look at me ... I can pee with no hands Ma !
Guess you haven't learned that trick.
I can also write my name in the snow too.
Ya, but can you "cross your T's and dot your I's" without drawing an unnecessary line to do so? :dance:
Ah,the sights, the sounds the smells. Yes unpleasantness is all around, but to have your own private jet, then you just have to put up, shut up like the rest of us and man up. Nobody is special, although some feel a sense of entitlement. Hopefully your reasons for travel had a positive outcome and the BO experience was just a minor inconvenience. The concept and sale of an odourless society is not a ubiquitous global phenomenon and probably should not be. It takes very little to set an asshole off, especially if they have covert hostility.
IMO, you were an asshole to complain to the airline and ask for a refund. You really think they have a legal right to refuse passengers who subjectively stink? Come on! You really think that'd fly? They can't do jack shit about other passengers, so if you have a problem, take it up with the perps, not the airline.
I don't blame theaters for not barring cellphones in the theater. I don't believe they have the legal authority to do so. But I do say something to those who whip out their phones.

The airlines never "provide" anything. If anything, a mask would be another thing they charge you for.
I don't question washing of the hands, but how does e.coli end up from your ass to your penis (I can't see sweat trickling up and around).
Yeah, I was pretty confused too...
The last time I got fecal matter on my ball sack and pecker I was still breastfeeding.
He's got some unique hygiene practices, it seems.
I would carry a painters mask..perhaps dabbed with Vicks ointment.....particularly for flights originating in Asia.
Can't stand Vicks ointment, but it's a lot better than BO.
On a sidenote, another lazy ass didn't wash his hands, asked him "you don't wash your hands" first time ignored me, kept walking, then I asked again, he replies "I'm going straight to my car" and he suggested his hands were cleaner than mine or something. lol
Unreal. WTF is wrong with people?
Kind of a stupid thread
On a flight overseas (many of which are multiple hour flights) noone smells fresh even though op thinks he did
To boot he was traveling through hot countries, which mean sitting in a crowded plan for a few hours with no a/c during takeoff & landing

Too bad the human kidneys will shut down and stop producing urine once dehydration sets in
And it is still a case of diminishing returns in real life since only a percentage of urine is even water
Let me get this straight, you followed a guy out of the washroom so you could get in his face a second time regarding his handwashing habits? You have stated that you've made similar comments to other guys in the washroom. Why do you do this? Not only is it none of your business, it's friggin creepy. If you see a guy shake his dick more than twice at the urinal, do you ask him if he's playing with it?
Aggressive move on your part Tesla, pretty sure the police would feel you provoked the other guy if things got physical. Trolls like you count on others being too embarrassed to respond or want to avoid confrontation so they walk away, but I know ALLOT of guys that would have gotten in your face or knocked you on your idiot ass.
Frankly, i think you are lying, but if you are indeed telling the truth seek professional help now. Otherwise you will be seeking medical help for a broken nose in the near future.
An airplane is just about the most unsanitary place ever and to the horror of germaphobes everywhere. Hundreds of people coughing, sneazing, pissing, shitting, sweating and god knows what else in an enclosed tube.
Which makes it a perfect delivery system for illness...
Dontcha just love traveling!?!?
