Farts on a plane (Picture: Getty)

The struggle is very real.

Seriously. Planes have been grounded over flatulence.

And, apparently, we do fart more on a flight. According to University of Copenhagen clinical professor Jacob Rosenberg, it’s simple physics.

The average person breaks wind 10 times a day when on the ground. In the air, this is exacerbated by the drop in pressure in the air cabin.


Also, it doesn’t help matters that everyone’s cooped up in a small space.

So, spare a thought for one disgruntled passenger, for whom the flatulence in rows 10 to 12 became so bad, she was forced to pass this note, written on a napkin, to her flight attendant.

‘I don’t know if you can make an announcement,’ the cry for help begins. ‘But if you can, you should say that whoever is farting in the areas of rows 10 to 12 should definitely see a doctor because they might have ass cancer’.



Pleasant.

The note was posted to Reddit by user Garwee20 who explained: ‘My flight attendant mom got this napkin from an upset passenger.’

As one fellow Redditor so eloquently puts it: ‘Sharts on a plane’.

Of course, everyone asked the obvious question: ‘Did she make the announcement?’

The answer? ‘Unfortunately, no’.

Awkward.
