I had a very well off and well dressed older female friend. She said she loved "letting fluffy off the leash" in the rich clothing stores then zig zag through the racks to get away from the smell. She said she enjoyed watching people walk through the smell with their nose wrinkling up. She said they are so surprised as they think rich people don't fart!

I saw a show on Nat Geo where a cabin decompression on an airplane was demonstrated in a vacuum chamber. Not explosive-but gradual. The first thing many of the participants noticed was uncontrollable flatulence.

It always amazes me to see food that is known to create stink on airline menu's such as asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beans etc... Vegetarian Chili anyone???

Taking those of the menu wouldn't prevent smell though since passenger might eat before boarding.

How do you "stay away" from someone on a flying tin can hurtling through the skies at 500 miles an hour? As soon as that little seatbelt sign lights up, what are you going to do? Jump out the emergency exit?

I always love the opportunity to reference this classic FT thread: Audacious and Unmitigated Flatulence.
Go read it. SO much fun in there.

Passenger next to me releasing gas incessantly
This old lady next to me is devouring a delicious Fuji apple which makes her gaseous. So without a shadow of modesty she releases said gases with the mighty sounds of a human trombone. This is going to be a long flight.
Update: finished her apple and now clipping her nails. What's next??! Should I request a seat change? Tell her to use a restroom?

Toenails? So her shoes are off? I guess when we get to a certain age we no longer care?
Although that is an awfully quick pass through the colon from mouth to exit.
Are there any spare seats you can move to, firstly asking the FA if it is okay to move.
