Transportation: Today, I was on a plane and realized that the woman next to me...

Today, I was on a plane and realized that the woman next to me was hiding a hedgehog in a plastic container. I'm severely afraid of hedgehogs but not wanting to give the woman up and get her in trouble, I tried to stay quiet. Which led to me to quietly hyperventilate and pass out on the plane. FML

Today, I accidentally farted while on my flight home. It was silent but so deadly that several people were visibly distressed. The overweight guy sitting next to me got a bunch of dirty glares. I was too ashamed to own up to it. FML

Today, I screamed at a taxi driver to not run over a hedgehog. He got a fright and ended up pulling over. I hopped out and ran to the middle of the road to pick up the hedgehog and leave him on the grass by the path. As I got closer and went to pick up said hedgehog, I realised it was a pinecone. FML

On the down low

Today, during a long flight, I tried to discreetly pass gas. Instead, I misjudged the pressure and ended up making a loud noise that everyone around me seemingly heard. To make matters worse, the flight attendant asked if everything was OK. Now I’m probably remembered as "Farts on a plane." FML

Today, I was sitting next to a lady on an airplane who was very overweight. She fell asleep on me, and violently bled from her nose upon take off and landing. FML

Today, I was on the plane asleep. I woke up after feeling the plane jolt and I screamed at the top of my lungs. The little girl next to me told me I was a sissy. Everyone on the plane laughed. FML

Today, I was using a public bathroom when a woman backs in, pulls down her pants, and sits on my lap. Needless to say she didn't even notice I was there until I hyperventilated. FML

Today, I traveled by plane for the first time. Once in the air, I was absolutely terrorized by the whole experience. Luckily, they had free booze on board, so I necked some to steady my nerves. Unfortunately, the vodka mixed with air turbulence made me spurt some vomit into my lap. FML

Today, I was boarding a plane and a woman's bag started to fall. In the spur of the moment I thrust my arm up to catch it. I didn't catch the bag, but I did catch her boob. I had to sit next to her for the rest of the flight. FML

Stressed out

Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML

Today, on a train, I nearly choked while sleeping with my mouth wide open. The little old lady sitting opposite me was entertaining herself by throwing little pieces of balled-up tin foil into my mouth. FML

That has to be the weirdest thing to have a phobia of!

I can't sleep now that I know there are people who don't report hedgehogs on planes.

They are allowed on planes by some airlines

I hope the container had holes or the poor hedgehog probably wouldn't of survived the flight

The hedgehog was probably also hyperventilating as well; being his in the plastic container. Hope the stewardess found out soon.

I'd be far more concerned about what else someone was able to sneak past security than the harmless little critter in a tote next to me...

I have never met anyone with a phobia of hedgehogs! But that was nice of you to try not to inconvenience her even though you were uncomfortable.

I was thinking the same thing. It's nice to see that people can still be nice these days!

It's not nice at all! She had a hedgehog on an aircraft. It's illegal, possibily dangerous if it escaped and caused a panic or something and cruel to the hedgehog. Even if OP didn't have a fear of hedgehogs they should have reported it as soon as they saw it.

Contained animals can in many cases be legally brought on flights. Do you have any actual evidence this is illegal?

I feel like she wouldn't have gotten in trouble- clearly she got it through security and unless she hid it in her underwear going through the detector the tsa guys would have seen it and okayed it

I feel that way as well. I believe the hedgehog was probably her pet and she was just flying with it.

Had OP reported her, the hedgehog would have been confiscated and most likely euthanized.

Not necessarily true. Hedgehogs can be brought on airlines, legally. I have a friend who travels with her hedgehog frequently. They go through security and are allowed to fly. It's only international flights that she doesn't take the hedgie with her, due to varying requirements that other countries have.

If they took the hedge hog they wouldn't have killed it. You should really learn how that process works. The fact she already had it on the place they would've let her take it the full way but reminded her about the rules on pets and such.
