A 27-year-old Frenchman claims he was kicked out of an American Airlines flight because he smelled bad — and was admonished to 'take a shower' by the crew.
The passenger, identified only as an Algerian-born man named 'Mehdi,' says he was about to board the Dallas-bound plane at Paris' Charles-de-Gaulle Airport when he was approached by flight attendants.
'The crew and passengers complained of your smell,' one flight attendant told the man, according to cell phone footage watched by Agence France-Presse.
'You're with an American company, this is American territory and the captain has the right to refuse you,' the crew member added, according to AFP. 'You will not be flying today.'
The crew member told the man to 'take a shower,' according to the report.

Yes!!! Take a stand against bad hygiene!!! I've been around people who have literally made me GAG. No one needs to be on a plane with someone who doesn't bathe. It's disgusting.
Good. Body odor is offensive. Even people who have tubing where actual body excrement is deposited into don't smell as bad as those who have body odor.
I had to deal with this during a shift at work, and with a roommate for one day while abroad, and in both situations, I followed the chain of commands and let them know that it is distracting. It's so much worse than you could possibly imagine. I deal with patients, and what comes out of them was nowhere near as bad as the people's body odor I complained out.
No it's not. He's not a child. Take a shower if you are going to be around other people in society. No one should be subjected to that uncleanliness. It's poses a threat to the health of others.
