Today, I was on a plane and realized that the woman next to me was hiding a hedgehog in a plastic container. I'm severely afraid of hedgehogs but not wanting to give the woman up and get her in trouble, I tried to stay quiet. Which led to me to quietly hyperventilate and pass out on the plane. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally farted while on my flight home. It was silent but so deadly that several people were visibly distressed. The overweight guy sitting next to me got a bunch of dirty glares. I was too ashamed to own up to it. FML
Today, I screamed at a taxi driver to not run over a hedgehog. He got a fright and ended up pulling over. I hopped out and ran to the middle of the road to pick up the hedgehog and leave him on the grass by the path. As I got closer and went to pick up said hedgehog, I realised it was a pinecone. FML
Today, during a long flight, I tried to discreetly pass gas. Instead, I misjudged the pressure and ended up making a loud noise that everyone around me seemingly heard. To make matters worse, the flight attendant asked if everything was OK. Now I’m probably remembered as "Farts on a plane." FML
Today, I was sitting next to a lady on an airplane who was very overweight. She fell asleep on me, and violently bled from her nose upon take off and landing. FML
Today, I was using a public bathroom when a woman backs in, pulls down her pants, and sits on my lap. Needless to say she didn't even notice I was there until I hyperventilated. FML
Today, I was asleep on a plane. I woke up after feeling the plane jolt and I screamed at the top of my lungs. The little girl next to me told me I was a sissy. Everyone around us laughed. FML
Today, I traveled by plane for the first time. Once in the air, I was absolutely terrorized by the whole experience. Luckily, they had free booze on board, so I necked some to steady my nerves. Unfortunately, the vodka mixed with air turbulence made me spurt some vomit into my lap. FML
Today, I was boarding a plane and a woman's bag started to fall. In the spur of the moment I thrust my arm up to catch it. I didn't catch the bag, but I did catch her boob. I had to sit next to her for the rest of the flight. FML
Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML
Today, on a train, I nearly choked while sleeping with my mouth wide open. The little old lady sitting opposite me was entertaining herself by throwing little pieces of balled-up tin foil into my mouth. FML

That has to be the weirdest thing to have a phobia of!

I can't sleep now that I know there are people who don't report hedgehogs on planes.

I used to pet hedgehogs as a kid, when I found them around the forest. Very cute animals, and they have a soft spot (literally and figuratively) on their belly for tickling. Why the hell you fear a creature like that is truly beyond me..

How did the poor fella get past customs?

Only international flights require you to go through customs. Cross-country/state do not, and the hedgehog is perfectly fine to fly.

So, you're on a plane for hours and the person next to you has an animal. You preferred to ignore the "elephant in the room" and not even pose the slightest question to the person herself out of what would only be perceived as natural curiosity? After not mentioning anything to the person, or asking to be reseated (which is generally fine with any concocted excuse), you have no other recourse but to hyperventilate and pass out? You deserved it. Society doesn't deserve you.

Traveling with a pet is not illegal, even if the pet is a hedgehog. I have a close friend who flies with her hedgie regularly. The hedgie rides in her carrier, goes through security, etc. - just like a cat or dog would. Since that "plastic container" is most likely a small critter carrier, there is nothing potentially harmful to the hedgie in flying, either.

I feel like this is an extra fyl bc the ONE random thing you're afraid if just happens to be next to you on your flight. Rough day. I would have just asked to be moved. Phobias are serious. I'm terrified of frogs and you can bet your ass that if crazy frog lady were next to me i wouldn't be sitting there.

FAKE

I'm not sure if I really believe this post... The way security is at the airport there's no way she could've gotten past security with it. Anyone whose flown in the past few years would know this.
