An air passenger in China shocked cabin crews when they found him taking a sponge bath in the toilet.

Passengers on the flight from Nanning to Chongqing complained that the man was spending too much time in the toilet.

An air attendant knocked on the door, and then noticed water flowing out from underneath it.

"We had to open the door with a key, and saw that the man was half naked," said the attendant.

"When he saw me, he said he was bathing, and asked me if I had some shampoo."

The man, Jin Sheng, said it was his first time on a plane. "I discovered the bathroom had hot water, so I thought of taking a bath, since I hadn't had one for nearly a week," he explained.

Ok, I've heard of all types of crazy incidents occurring on a plane.......but a spongebath, thats a first.

...from the toilet?!

I don't know why they are making such a fuss, at least the bloke washed.

I bet they would rather he stank

You only get to take a sponge bath on a plane if you're a first class passenger holding a full fare ticket. j/k

Blimey I misread what you wrote there MMW, I took a quick glance and thought you put "full fare bucket"

I am on the computer too much........

I heard this on Bob and Tom on moday morning. The guy said he hadn't had a bath in about a week....

I bet he stank!

oh dear..... a sponge bath from the toilet?!?! That's pretty nasty.. I wouldn't know what to do or say if I witnessed that..
I've heard of some things on airlines, including the mile high club(which sounds interesting, but sadly I have never tried) but a spongebath??what a way to make an impression!!

What, being all nice and clean you mean?

Of course I mean that... hahaha what a guy!! I'm sure he had some fans on that plane when he was done bathing himself

I can't stop laughing at this story, it is cracking me up - I keep thinking of it and chuckling, even when I am on other topics

From the toilet? I,ve never been on a plane, but don,t they have a sink in their bathrooms to wash your hands after you go sand box?

ROFLMAO I absolutely love this Thread

Hopefully he was using the sink, but it is funny to imagine him using the toilet instead

I can't stop laughing, I was reading this Thread to my husband earlier and was laughing so much I started crying

Bet you're right....

First thing..swtp-after you go 'sandbox'? That's...just to cute, lol

maybe he was standing in the toilet and using the hot water from the sink?

This is just incredibly sad...

To have a bath on/in an airplane toilet??? I guess that this is just one of those moments that make you ponder the intelligence of people...

The guy was excited that they had hot water. I'm betting he lives in a place where hot water isn't that common. Good grief! The guy was probably poor, not nasty, and rather thrilled at the chance of getting clean no matter where he was.

I'm picturing him sitting in the sink with his feet in the toilet....not a pretty sight

I think by "toilet" they meant the room itself. Airline toilets do not hold standing water. He was surely using the sink for bathing.

Yes but if he was that poor then how could he have afforded a plane ticket

^ Umm... maybe he saved up all the money from not paying for hot water?

A toilet, of all things..


Sounds like something I would do

I think they mean bathroom when they say "toilet." and not literally the toilet..

The guy hadn't bathed in a week, and they had hot water.. rather him wash up before he sat next to me on a plane anyway.
