UUUmmm... Hard to pick... Every day an adventure! Okay:
I was flying alone on a 9 hour overnight flight from Moscow to Vladivostok. The flight was full and just before takeoff, I see a drunken loud Korean man in dirty clothes weaving down the aisle.. "Oh, please NO" I thought. However, soon he was sitting next to me...
This man was talking loudly to everyone around us, although no one could understand him. He turned to offer me a "sip" from his greasy flask... He smelled of vomit, and there were no other seats available on the flight! I pretended to sleep...
After a few hours, he opened a paper bag and pulled something out to eat...Some sort of meat? He pulled it apart with those dirty fingers, and stuffed it into his mouth. (And yes, he DID offer me a bite!) He spent the next two hours pulling pieces out of his teeth and placing the bits into the seat pocket in front of him. It was around this time that my meal was served...
At around 4 hours from landing, I notice that he is playing "catch" with some unknown "critters" jumping around under his pants legs...
At 2 hours before landing, I start to itch... Something is jumping under MY pants leg!...
4 hours later, freshly showered and scrubbed, I quietly place a bag of clothes outside my door with a note that says "Trash"...
