I assume he must have had a hard time before he got on the plane and needs to relax. i take comfort in the fact that my sense of smell comes and goes over time and concentrate on my book.
The person sitting next to you on a crowded plane takes off his shoes.
The smell almost knocks you out....

If the smell is that bad, imagine how his feet must feel. No wonder he took off his shoes. And the smell will dissipate, while his discomfort wouldn't if I forced him to put his shoes back on, or embarrassed him in some way. So I would tough it out. I'm sure I don't always smell like a rose.

Tell him to head to the washroom and to scrub down their rancid feet. If my feet stank that bad, I would have left the shoes on and prevent others from suffering it out for my own stupidity.
Of course that situation above doesn't even compare to the experience my girlfriend and I had on the bus ride downtown on Saturday.... eck.... fk'n disgusting, and it takes a lot to disgust me.
We got on the bus to head to downtown Halifax to check out the Public Gardens and to relax a bit.... about 7 mins into the bus ride this scuzzy older man gets on the bus, but not before spending 5-10 mins trying to hook up this crazy looking bike on the front of the bus.
He then sits right in front of us and right beside this other guy minding his own business. Let me help you with the visual:
The guy was in his late 40's / early 50's, his hair was very long, tied back into a ponytail of some sorts, greesy and matted looking. He appeared to have not showered in what much have been at least two weeks, and the clothing he was wearing appeared even worse. From what I could gather from his movements and actions, he had to be a homeless drug addict or just one really dirty slob. He had scabs all along his arms, skin and bones, constantly scratching and constantly smelled like really bad BO and Flakes of Poop from his arse crack.
Eventually he got back up to help some old lady onto the bus, which the bus driver had well under control, but the guy he was sitting by took this oportunity to move away from him and give him the seat all to himself.... he came back to the seat and so too did the smell of sh*tty arse crack and BO. I couldn't tell which was better... when the bus wasn't moving and it was a still stink isolated in one spot, or when the bus was moving making the stink circulate around the bus.
Anywho, we went through about another 1/3 of the bus ride before it started to get really nasty with the stink, him scratching his dead skin, picking his nose, and whatever fell off him was most certainly flying back at us from the breeze through the windows.
He knew he stank like holy hell, as he was continually sniffing himself, trying to wrap his sweater around his head to block out any smell coming out (Although it was his ass which was the worst) and my final limit that cause myself and my gf to get off at the very next stop was when he pulled out a big bottle of cheap calone to spray himself with (Which was begining to smell up the entire bus just as we were getting off.)
I mean God Dam people.... if you can afford a bottle of calone, I imagine you can afford a couple of bucks for a shower. But even semi-clean people who have money get bitched out on the bus for smelling like way too much purfume/calone, yet nobody seemed to say a peep about this guy's continual stink, which was later masked over with cheap calone, sprayed right there on the bus (Which I imagine there would be some breathing issues for some)
But it wasn't even masked over.... it just added to the overall smellage of the entire thing.
Worst stinky person in a long time.
I mean if I smelled that bad, I would have just rode the damn bike and saved everyone else from suffering. Then again the reason why I figured he was a drug addict, besides the rest of the above examples, was that the bike was just a little too brand new for this guy, it didn't seem to fit his size, and considdering that if it was his, that would have lead me to believe he did have enough money to somehow get a decent shower, if he could get a decent bike. Just from past experiences, I'd safely say he was going to sell it for some drugs..... as the neighborhood he came on the bus from didn't seem like his type of neighborhood (Richy area)
But yeah, after we got off that bus and that horrible stink, the rest of the day went just fine..... I'm suprised nobody else got off the bus when we did.... geez... sucked to be them having to deal with that smell any longer.... it was like he had a three week old chunk of crap lodged into his arse hair.... it was pretty gross....

My hubby recently flew home from Regina, and he actually went out and bought new clothes to avoid this situation. After a week on a rig in damp boots, with only 4 days worth of clothes, he decided he'd better buy a whole new set of clothes lest he be booed off the plane midair. lol.

Amazing how similar we all can be!

I think I would discreetly write a small note, and hand it to the stewardess, asking if I
could move to another seat, if that can't happen, I would 'tough' it out, and I think the
smell would calm down some as time goes by. gawd.
(maybe one isn't allowed to take one's shoes off on a plane, hence, the stewardess
will ask him to put them on) ???

Unfortunately, it is an unwritten rule to leave your shoes on, but it is rarely enforced.
