A gassy man apparently caused a big stink aboard an American Airlines fight, according to a viral social media post.

The plane eventually turned around and the passenger was asked to get off the plane, Reddit user lamgalatx wrote.

I overhear him loudly say, 'You thought that was rude? Well how about this smell' and farted," lamgalatx wrote. "Idk what provoked that comment, and while kinda funny to overhear, it was uncalled for especially coming from a grown man on an airplane nonetheless."

Then, later on in the flight, lamgalatx said people were eating when the man who farted loudly said, "yeah, everybody let's just eat the smelliest food possible all at the same time."

Another passenger, said lamgalatx, told the man to take a private flight next time if he didn't like that people were eating. He said "fartman" replied with, "that's so f***ing rude”, while another person added, "I think we'd all agree you’re the rude one here."

"Fartman replies something like 'that's just so low class' and the other guy rebuttals with 'well you’re back here in economy with the rest of us,'" lamgalatx wrote.

That's when flight attendants reportedly interviewed and said "that’s enough" to the man who passed gas.

Soon, there was an announcement on the plane, lamgalatx noted. He said everyone onboard was told the plane was returning to the gate.

We get back to the gate and a flight attendant comes back and informs fartman that he will not be staying on this flight," lamgalatx noted. "He simply replies, 'I don’t understand' and she tells him they'll talk about it off the plane."

The man then got up, grabbed his belongings, and got off the plane.

Everyone seemed relieved because they "were on edge about what he may say or do next," according to lamgalatx, who also noted the flight was delayed about 15 to 30 minutes.

"All in all I think American handled it swiftly," lamgalatx wrote.

He claimed he decided to share the experience "because it's somewhat entertaining" and added, "no I did not film anything."

The post garnered some witty comments from other users.

"He missed an opportunity to fart on the way out and yell 'SMELL YOU LATER!'" one person wrote.

Why couldn't he save it for the elevator like civilized people do?

Do the people that support turning the flight around and deplaning the offensive pax own a dog? Dog farts are like 50 cal compared a .22 from a human, and they sleep in the offended peoples beds. But they're cute so all is forgiven. I'm going to guess this persons behavior rather than his flatulence led to this incident. Your seat bottom can be used as a flotation device and a fart storage device, just don't make eye contact with anyone and we'll get from Denver to Tampa sooner rather than later.

That's gambling. Farting in an elevator when you're alone.

Will you walk off alone and get away with it or will there be some unsuspecting person to be an innocent victim?

Man, I did that when my daughter was in the hospital forgetting where I was and when the door opened it was some like 7 year old cancer kid in a wheelchair about to get on. I’ve never done it since

I will always take that bet. I don't think I can enter an elevator and not have the urge to rip a deep fart. It isn't a biological need at this point......

Who said anything about being alone.....

As long as there are at least two other people in there,
I like my odds of looking the blame off on one of them.

This guy sounds like a miserable person.

But also ngl, if this were me I would absolutely want it in my headstone that my farting made a plane turn around**.

“I was on this flight two rows behind fart man. I didn’t hear the fart situation but I do have some more context and can confirm he was an •.

There was an older Hispanic lady next to him eating Panda Express. He complained loudly and extensively about the smell, and it was my impression that the lady didn’t speak much English because she never really talked back to him or anyone else. The third person in their row walks up to take his seat and fart man says sarcastically “Hope you like Panda Express”. And he continues to complain loudly to god-knows who.

Then the women behind him started telling him he’s an • and to stop bitching about it already and he turned on them. “I’m not being a • • I’m just telling this lady what manners are”.

He did calmly get up and walk off the plane. Very entertaining drama.”

That dude must've been having a very bad day, Panda Express is the least "offensive" Asian food ever invented. It's the Taco Bell of Chinese food. Like I said before this guys attitude, not his flatulence got him kicked off that flight. Now I'm hungry for cheap orange chicken...

Panda Express was started in Glendale, not really “Asian food”
