Traveller spotted woman letting her dog poo in LAX airport – so he taught her the perfect lesson
Comedian Steve Hofstetter says the woman just left the mess on the floor of the airport for a cleaner to remove
A plane passenger has been hailed a hero after claiming he took revenge on a rude traveller who left her dog’s poo on the floor of the airport… by making her miss her flight.
The comedian Steve Hofstetter says he was flying out of LA’s LAX airport earlier this week when he spotted the woman talking on her phone while her dog opened its bowels on the floor.
Steve, who was flying to Tokyo for a stand-up gig, later recounted the story on the online forum .
According to his story, a fellow traveller initially tried to interrupt the woman while she was talking on the phone and her dog was mid-poo, but she ignored him and complained to her phone companion about ‘rude people’.

He said: “When her dog finished, the woman started walking away, leaving everything right on the airport floor [and] another woman tried to stop her.
“’You’re not going to clean that up?’ she asked, as shocked as the rest of us were.
“They have people for that,’ the offender replied, disappearing into the crowd.”
A shocked group of crowded onlookers then made sure that nobody walked through the poo, while a cleaner was called to get rid of the miss.
When Steve reached his boarding gate though, he said that the woman was also waiting to board the flight with her dog, who was “now barking at everyone who walked by,” while she played music from the loudspeaker on her phone.
He said: “I sat down right next to the horrible woman [and asked] ‘Are you going to London on business?’
“'I’m going to Tokyo,’ she responded gruffly,
“‘Oh,’ I said. ‘Then you better hurry. That flight got moved to gate 53C. This is the flight to London.’
“I figured I could give her a little moment of panic as payback for how terribly she was treating everyone. I didn’t predict what would happen next.”
According to Steve, the woman then stormed off to find the gates numbered 53, which were based on the other side of the terminal, without bothering to check that his information was correct.
He said: “I don’t know if she made it back to this flight before we took off or not, but I didn’t see her board and I don’t hear her dog.”
Online users have been lauding the comedian for his public service efforts on the web, with one commenter saying: “Some heroes don't wear capes,” and another saying: “You're pure evil, I love it.”
