Most of us have stories about how we or someone close to us saw weird things going on at the airport. That includes emotional support pets like ducks or ponies. And incredibly awkward situations involving mistaken identities that accidentally lead to long-term relationships.

There’s something about the idea of flying that makes people lose their common sense and have their heads up in the clouds. The worst part? It’s not isolated to the stuff people pack.

In fact, some individuals can be an absolute horror to fly with. Both for other passengers and the flight crew. For instance, some passengers love leaving a mess. And one passenger even left a dirty diaper in their seat pocket. Yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuckity yuck.

While another time, a plane had to turn around and head back to the airport because someone took a very, very smelly poo. I’d love to be joking right now. But this is serious.

According to the BBC, the captain of the plane actually made an announcement about the “pungent smell” due to the “liquid fecal excrement” in the toilet. The plane turned around after 30 minutes of flying and headed back to the airport. The next available flight was 15 hours later.

Well, the TSA ruined a perfectly good pair of shoes. That wasn't someone trying to smuggle blades in their shoes. That's how shoes are made, with a metal band along the bottom for reinforcement. Some cobblers recycle old saw blades for the purpose, since they are inexpensive and made from spring steel. Many corset makers also use old hacksaw blades as boning in corsets for the same reason.
