Smelly B*stard!


So... this guy got kicked off a plane because he stank...








BERLIN (Reuters) - A court in Germany rejected a man's compensation claim against an airline after a cabin crew ordered him off a plane because other passengers were offended by his smell, authorities said Thursday.


An appeals court in the western city of Duesseldorf upheld an earlier ruling that British Airways (BA) had acted within its rights by removing the man from the aircraft after a female passenger sitting next to him complained about his smell.


"The stewardess took him to one side and asked him if he could put on a fresh shirt, but they were all in the hold," a court spokesman said. "So then he was asked to leave the plane -- about two minutes before take off."


BA said other passengers were upset by the smell, he added...


...According to its website, American Airlines' conditions of carriage say that transport may be refused if passengers "have an offensive odor not caused by a disability or illness."


British Airways stipulates that the airline may refuse to transport passengers "if carrying you or your baggage may affect the comfort of any person in the aircraft."





So... today's poll revolves around how we should treat smelly people.  Should we throw them out of everywhere - shops, restaurants, trains, planes, automobiles, pubs, WORKPLACES - or should we stop complaining about every little thing and just put up with it like proper british people (except for those non Brits who can just say they're polite or summat)?


 


Sorry JDK, but I just had to add something to your post there.

I had to suffer some old bloke who wreaked on the train a few weeks back. I could still 'smell' him when I got outside - he was grim and I have to say (though its unlike me, I know) I made it quite clear to him that I was unimpressed and why.

Heh heh heh.  All is well.


No one smells in my office today, although my comedy lift home sometimes smells faintly of sick.  Woooooaaaaah.  Ooooof.

It's ok D, I've been pretty close to him today and he's not smelling even vaguely of sick.  Are you sure it's him and not the car?

No no.  We live in the Free World.  Democracy rules.  I think it should be voluntary.  On pain of death.
