Passengers on this plane will probably say they had a crappy flight.

A United Airlines flight from Chicago to Hong Kong had to be redirected to Alaska because of a passenger “smearing feces everywhere,” KTVA reports.

United Airlines flight 895 was diverted to Anchorage Thursday when an adult male smeared his poop within a couple of bathrooms on the plane. The man also took off his shirt and tried to stuff it into a toilet.

Following the incident, the man was reportedly co-operative with the flight crew and was seated when the flight touched ground in Alaska, KTVA reports.

I'm thinking mental illness. Poor guy and poor passengers, crew and pilots.

1. Dude sounds rational to me.

I expect that he has a bright future as a member of Donald Trump's cabinet.

2. "Hey, you all stop it back there or I swear to God we are pulling over in Alaska!"

[ProudLib72]

3. You get bored on long flights

And airlines have stopped handing out crayons and coloring books. What the hell else is there to do?

15. Lewis Black has it

"You don't want to be on a plane for more than eight hours."

21. He's got the essence of it

Chairs in coach were designed by a man with scoliosis who was pissed.

On international flights, the only thing to do is get as drunk as possible and pass out. That's more entertaining than any in flight movie they are going to show.

You're a fair way there now, unlike those passengers.

8. I was on a China-bound flight that stopped in Alaska

I was on a China-bound flight that stopped in Alaska on an unscheduled basis once. Some poor lady three rows up had a heart attack and died; they made a pit stop to drop off the body in Anchorage.

DUers assure me that’s not unusual (although it certainly freaked me the hell out), but I wonder how often Anchorage is used as an emergency stop on planes going to Asia?

[Codeine]

10. Why else would a plane ever stop there?!

[lindysalsagal]

16. So glad somebody said it...

[diva77]

28. Anchorage is really quaint and has a great museum! On a clear day you can see Denali.

Not a bad place to stop at all!!

[Weed Man]

20. for Trans Pacific flight, yeah, Anchorage is the last major international airport from North America

This gives you a good idea...

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

26. Anchorage? Lucky you.

My boss got diverted to Cold Bay Alaska and spent the night in a Coast Guard warehouse.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. "Mr. Bannon!! Please control yourself!!!" nt

[jberryhill]

13. Yeah. You gotta pay extra if you want to sit in the feces-smearing section

[gopiscrap]

14. this is what those in economy are driven to do

I swear flying has gotten worse and worse over the years

[Lil Missy]

17. I'm shocked - aren't we supposed to do this?

[RKP5637]

30. Not unless you paid extra!!! And no watching without an admission ticket! n/t

[Codeine]

31. I always fly Doing Your Business Class. nt

18. Ambien.

[Elwood P Dowd]

19. Same guy that spreads feces in Washington. What's he doing going to China?

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

25. Or he was being deported

a guy being deported from the UK went completely berserk on a flight I was on back in the late 90's.

27. I'm reminded of a science-fiction story I read a while back

called "Darkening Skies".
