Flying Sucked Before It Involved Urine- Soaked Seats, Which By the Way, It Apparently Does Now. Flying is terrible these days. It flat- out sucks.

Londoner Andrew Wilkinson, 3. British tabloid the Mirror that when he boarded a recent flight to Cape Town, he immediately noticed a wet stain on his seat which reeked of the yellow stuff. I got to my seat and saw that there was a wet patch. It was about the size of two decks of cards laid side by side,” Wilkinson told the paper. At first I thought it was water but the smell was so distinct it could only have been urine.”When he brought the issue to the attention of a stewardess, he said, he got the response “Sorry about that.” The stewardess did not upgrade Wilkinson to business class, but did give him wet wipes.

Though the passenger said he put a plastic bag and then a blanket over the stain, he was unable to secure another blanket to put under his butt—and by the end of the flight, it began soaking into his pants. It’s probably fair to say most of us would sit on urine for 1. Or at the very least, it’s preferable to being beaten up by security thugs. But it’s definitely fair to say anything that costs $1,5. According to Consumerist, Wilkinson said he got 5,0.
