Now there was zero turbulence, the bathroom was unoccupied, and there was no reason to stay in the seat. I yelled "Holy Sh!t" and the flight attendant came running. I told her what was happening and she saw him pull his penis out of the bag and she also yelped "Holy Sh!t" The purser came running down and the man tried to hand her the airsick bag full of pee. She said hell no and went to get a large garbage bag. He placed the pee bag in there and then was handcuffed to his seat. I was given a seat in a different row (thank goodness the flight wasn't full). At landing the police came on and got the guy and then I was interviewed as a witness.
One of the craziest and grossest experiences of my life. That said the American Airlines FAs were awesome, made sure I did not have to sit next to him, and gave me extra special service for the rest of the flight.
No clue what eventually happened to the guy.
I can't even imagine -- I mean maybe if someone didn't understand English and this was their first flight on a modern airplane (when I was in the Ural mountains in Russia I did meet people like this -- and yes farm animals were on the airplane) -- then
maybe I would somewhat understand -- but come on! Gross!
